Yes, we have components in our DNA from several early humans depending on one's ancestry including Neanderthal, Denisovans and about 25% from yet to be identified ancient human species. We are a friendly breed. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming . . .

The Metabolic Health Summit, previously in Tampa, will be in Long Beach CA , Jan 31, 2019. Speaker line up the best yet.

They have added the videos from last year's summit here too.

I am more convinced all the time that we mess with our metabolism at our peril.

It would seem that inadequate nutrition, insulin resistance, and chronically high blood sugar all combine to create the greatest proportion of our chronic illnesses.

Which, if true, means the medical science approach to treatment could be highly improved by understanding this relationship.

Dr. Mercola wrote a blog post summarizing the Attia/Seyfried podcast teaser posted in #151, highlighting what he thought the important take-aways.
If you (read me ) are still struggling with this one, this article plus Dr Attia's show notes are most helpful.

A new Dr. Colin Champ presentation, given at the Ohio State Metabolic conference in the fall, posted today on the Virta website:

Dr. Colin Champ on Dietary Recommendations for Cancer and the Warburg Metabolism

Dr. Champ has been invited to TheIHMC lecture series 3 or 4 times now. Here is his latest:

This kind of thing is so exciting! I remember when I'd mention "Warburg" and get blank looks.

Many German scientists suffered loss of reputation for their research because of WWII. Likewise, their groundbreaking stuff on human hormones.

We are all still suffering from that.

In addition, the knowledge of effective and entrenched weight loss protocols established by German physicians, among others, were abandoned around the time of WWII and never revisited after the influences of people like Ancel Keys swinging his wooden sword at the evils of fat in the fight against heart disease.

I first heard that fat was bad on the TV news during the 70s. I remember it was blasted and I was confused as the Home Economic teacher was teaching us how to make gravy with bacon drippings. But that was the beginning of my confusion.

Just saw a post by "blocked by Pete Evans" on facebook claiming that some research looking at blocking glutamine metabolism as a way to fight cancer. The fellow seems to think that this argues against targeting glucose against cancer. Too bad nobody on "our" side is aware of the role of glutamine, here. Then everybody there piled on the paleo diet for containing meat, which contains glutamine... a problem with that idea is that human beings contain quite a bit of meat, whether they eat it or not. In this case, it does take a drug. Dietary glutamine doesn't even generally make it past the gut, anyways. Rapidly proliferating tissue loves glutamine, even when, as in the case of the gut line, the proliferation is actually desireable.

At risk of explaining my "joke," in case people sort of new to this stuff read this--Thomas Seyfried and other major front men championing targeting glucose are well aware of glutamine as a source of energy for cancer growth. So now what I said is hilarious, right?

Teaser, your post is very clever...or maybe I have listened to one too many interviews with Dr Seyfried? All about glutamine and finding a drug to block it. The Mercola article gets into it, since the Attia interview spent some time on the glutamine issue. https://articles.mercola.com/sites/...al-disease.aspx


The Long Beach Metabolic Health conference starts today. Watching the videos later have the advantage to be able to stop and rewind the hard parts...that would be most talks for me!

Even I, a scientific ignoramus, knows that Seyfried talks about figuring out a way to block glutamine.

For millennials, cancers fueled by obesity are on rise, study says. This is scary. How can Cancer researchers continue to focus on the genetic theories, when correlations like this would point, at the very least, to the diets that are causing the obesity epidemic?

They see the association between the cancers and obesity, but do they see the cause of the obesity? The hyperinsulemia, insulin resistance, metabolic disorder? The negative effects of a high load of highly processed quickly digested sugars, starches, products/drinks high in fructose, etc? I hope people struggling with these problems and obesity will be given better help than to just be told to eat less and move more, since that doesn't really work too well if at all.

WOuld this be the right thread to ask about prostrate cancer ? Have we covered that topic somewhere??

If this isnt the place for this, Im fine with postings in the thread I started " Keto and Cancer" .

This forum is good for posts that are new studies, research or media articles. The one in General Health forum seems a good thread to continue.
