Healthy bread is an oxymoron.
It's certainly better than starving.
IS SOURDOUGH THE HEALTHY BREAD?
Umm no. Sourdough is still wheat flour, and wheat flour is starch & plant protein. Starch breaks down to glucose in your blood, and the protein is inflammatory to many.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute put people on one week of traditionally made sourdough whole-grain bread and one week of industrially made white bread, in random order. They found no significant difference between the two breads on multiple clinical measures. Each person's gut bacteria stayed about the same no matter which bread they ate.
Some people spiked higher on the sourdough, and some spiked higher on the white bread.
Bread is optional & not needed.
The study and my video are below.

[Child Health x Vaccines] 💉 A new study co-authored by our colleague Panagis Polykretis, PhD in @FrontPubHealth explores parental perceptions of childhood vaccines.
Key findings: despite very high trust (90% of parents view pediatric vaccines as essential, 73% trust their safety), knowledge is limited: only 34% can identify the mandatory vaccines and just 17% can tell mandatory shots from recommended ones. The survey also shows that opinions on vaccines differ by political orientation. This suggests that some parents may rely on the position of their political wing rather than seeking information independently.
However, informed consent implies that parents truly understand their choices: which vaccines are required, which are optional, what benefits and risks each one carries, and what options exist if they have concerns. This calls for clear, transparent, and accessible institutional and media communication to empower parents.
The link to the full study is in the comments.

Now in Switzerland @SwissRe we have @BenBikmanPhD talking about insulin resistance and its partner hyperinsulinaemia Together they are leading to poor metabolic health for nearly HALF of us !!

“From this paradgim leaps a multi-scale geographical strategy that positions the human host plan within the exact regional coordinates needed to prevent a terminal Marcus Inversion well collapse on your IMM”
Fascinating ego protection strategy: throw out a bunch of concepts stringed together in an incoherent manner, making you sound learned, so that you can never be meaningfully challenged in a systematic manner, and thus always being able to claim “you’re too dumb to get it”
Being clear, concise and understood, is hard.
Attia is a retard who could not even master Rockefeller medicine. He never finished what he started. You might not know this, but his last book was a disaster tha this publisher gave to @billgifford to re write. Bill will never tell you this but I will.
Bill is a great guy who cares for humanity, but I wish more people knew he had to recraft the facade of Attia who has ZERO face validity in the decentalized world of science.
I'm embarrassed to share a degree with him, honestly.
Peter believes fully in centralized medicine's Rockefeller biochemical paradigm with all his heart. He makes millions of dollars from retard who believe in the flat, chemical-reductionist diagnostic ledgers taught in Stanford that this will sculpt health from shit. The reality is something rather different.
Decentralized medcine teaches there is a jurisdiction arbitrage in Nature. From this paradgim leaps a multi-scale geographical strategy that positions the human host plan within the exact regional coordinates needed to prevent a terminal Marcus Inversion well collapse on your IMM. Attia is impotent in this world just as his opinion on LpA and Zone have turned up useless.
I talk about all this here----> for free. youtube.com/watch?v=ocnW2CSz…
For thos who do not know Attia told Rick Rubin I was nut to use methylene blue when he was on heart bypass at Stanford. Rick consulted me after Attia and used it. Rubin has told the world through our last two podcasts that Attia has now caved on this to him, but he does not want that info out in the world because it threatens his 250K charge to retards who still believe his nonsense.

If by "first wave influencers", you mean the first set of people trying to monetize it, starting after about 2017/18, then yes.
We OGs who have been writing or moderating free support groups since 2010 or before, have maintained the importance of fat the entire time.
Most people who tell me carnivore didn't work for them learned it from the first wave of meatfluencers, and that first wave couldn't have told you where the fat was on a cow.
They were busy with the organs. Nose to tail or you weren't serious. Raw liver eaten to camera like a dare. Heart, kidney, spleen, a bull's testicle for the thumbnail. And at the end of every sermon, the freeze-dried organ capsules, discount code in the description. Strange how the gospel always finished at a checkout.
Fat got a line, if it got anything.
That's the diet upside down. Take away the carbohydrate and fat is the fuel, the only fuel left. Protein builds you; it was never meant to run you. The trappers of the north had a name for living on lean meat alone: rabbit starvation. Pounds of it a day, and they wasted away with full stomachs.
So the beginners did exactly as they were shown. Sirloin with the white trimmed off. Chicken breast. A palmful of capsules and a glass of water.
By week three they were exhausted, blocked up, ravenous and dreaming about toast. Back to the bread they went, telling everyone carnivore had nearly killed them.
They never tried carnivore. They tried lean protein and pills, then blamed the cow.
That's the mess I spend most of my week cleaning up.
- Buy the cut with the most white on it.
- Treat butter as a food, not a garnish.
- Pour the fat from the pan back over the meat.
- Tip what's left in the pan into a mug and drink it.
Nobody in six years has ever quit carnivore because there was too much butter on the plate. They quit because there wasn't enough.

José Mourinho, strong as he is, has conceded the point.
The point is self-censorship.
China is not a football power by any stretch of the imagination. Its national team is subpar given its size and economic heft, its domestic league a money-pit for washed-up European players, and its contribution to the actual game is negligible.
Yet one offhand joke by Kylian Mbappé about a meme that slapped his face on Mao Zedong was enough to get Chinese state television to cancel La Liga broadcasts, sponsors to dump him, and the entire Spanish league to issue a groveling apology while promising “sensitization protocols” and awareness training for clubs and players so it never happens again.
"Awareness and communication protocols" is literally what Javier Tebas, the head of La Liga, is proposing. This is the same man who had no problem accusing Real Madrid's management of behaving like Nazi chief Joseph Goebbels.
Do you realize how Orwellian this is? During Woke 1, the publishing industry started mandating sensitivity-readers to make sure nothing "offensive" is printed.
Now it's being applied to sport.
A player says something that is factually unremarkable (Mao ran a dictatorship and said so himself) and the institutional response is not to defend speech or shrug at a meme. It is to apologize profusely and create internal machinery that teaches everyone the new red lines so that the revenue stream is protected.
José Mourinho’s advice here, that sometimes the best thing is to keep your mouth shut, is the honest description of the mental trade-off here.
The whole point of the Chinese imposing disproportionate responses to Mbappé's slight is to create a world where self-censorship is the default.
The bargain we were sold was that integrating China into the global economic system would liberalize it. We were told that exposure to open societies and commercial incentives would, over time, erode the Party’s control.
What has happened instead is the reverse. Chinese authorities treat access to their market as a political lever and foreign institutions treat that lever as a reason to overhaul its own norms to resemble what the CCP wants.
The same pattern appears in film studios quietly cutting scenes, in brands pre-clearing statements, in sports bodies inventing protocols so no one ever again accurately describes history in the presence of Chinese money. China does not need to win on the pitch, or dominate box office, or even lead in technology. It only needs enough economic weight that other people police themselves on its behalf.
This distortion is occurring in EVERY domain - trade, investment, entertainment, corporate governance, sport, education, etc.
A country that still jails people for memes about its founding leader now effectively sets the boundaries of acceptable speech for European football leagues, and the weak ass global footballing brands and leagues cooperate.

There's chat about this study, which claims statins reduced total plaque & non-calcified plaque and more intensive statins did so even more...
It didn't mention...
- Calcified plaque increased.
- The pre-defined primary endpoint (18-month change in coronary flow as measured with FFRCT). This was not reported.
- Participants were UNhealthy people (63% smoking history) who had just had a CT scan and had received bad news. They would have made other changes but this study had no control group so we can't tell if lifestyle changes made the difference.
But yeah, let's just claim statins (& ezetimibe) did everything.

We need studies that can discriminate between reward and energy hypotheses.
So do ketogenic diets. Both could be explained by improved energy access. Compulsive behaviour is increased with energy and sleep restriction (and these are physiologically related). An intervention making it easier for your body to use fat stores and incoming food would be expected to improve inhibitory control.

L'idiotie utile a une fin, souvent tragique hélas.
Bonjour @A_Saintoul.
Il s’agirait d’écouter la communauté musulmane de France qui, nombreuse, vous demande d’arrêter l’usage de mots dont vous ne semblez pas comprendre le sens.
Vous aviez le choix entre le respect ou l’ignorance. Vous semblez avoir choisi la deuxième option de manière totalement contreproductive.

Quel délire, encore et toujours. Incapables de baisser les dépenses, certains veulent encore augmenter les prélèvements de l’Etat.
Quand comprendront-ils que leurs taxes finissent toujours par être payées par les clients ? Que quand on taxe le lait, ce n’est pas la vache qui paie mais le consommateur ?
Quand cesseront-ils de nous appauvrir ?
Nous ne pouvons pas les laisser continuer.

🚨🇫🇷 FLASH | L'Assemblée nationale a ADOPTÉ un amendement qui prévoit de TAXER les géants pour la consommation des clients. PlayStation, Netflix, Google (YouTube) ou encore Amazon devront PAYER 0,055€ par gigaoctet téléchargé/visionné par le client, avec un plafond à 15% du CA en France ou 2% du CA total. La hausse serait potentiellement répercutée sur le CLIENT ensuite, comme c’est le cas de certaines taxes.
Le projet de loi doit encore être adopté dans son ensemble par l’Assemblée puis le Sénat pour être appliqué, mais des voix se lèvent déjà parmi les députés pour que l’amendement soit refusé.

🎓 Reçue au ministère, l'association que l'État lui‑même relie aux Frères musulmans.
En mai 2025, le rapport du ministère de l'Intérieur présentait EMF (Étudiants musulmans de France) comme le satellite étudiant de la branche française de la confrérie.
En 2026, le Parlement européen ferme ses portes au FEMYSO, la structure européenne dont EMF est membre. Et en France ? Le ministre de l'Enseignement supérieur reçoit EMF.

“His modus operandi is to find some edgy new idea with a kernel of truth and then call himself an expert on it and say it can only be understood by the enlightened. I see him as a litmus test separating the gullible from the skeptical”
💯
I don't have anything to sell and I've been conversing in the nutrition space for around 15 years, lurking for another 10 before that. So your criticism doesn't apply to me.
I saw Kruse's early writings and his tendencies. For example, I saw what his first website looked like the day it came out and shortly after, when he'd obviously employed some help to fix it. On his own he can barely string two concepts together. He's been trying to gain a following for 10-15 years, starting with the benefits of nipple stimulation, then onto something something leptin, probably some other mumbo jumbo between, and more recently structured water and light.
His modus operandi is to find some edgy new idea with a kernel of truth and then call himself an expert on it and say it can only be understood by the enlightened. I see him as a litmus test separating the gullible from the skeptical.
While it's fully possible that some of his claims are correct and even interesting, I view him as like Mercola—focused more on what gets clicks than what's actually true, and sometimes they will coincide, but it's not because he has some special insight. He is trying to attract people who want to look smart by being in the know in the first wave of something new by creating mystique.

Famine, terreur, répression. Ce n'est pas mépriser la Chine que de qualifier Mao Zedong de l'un des pires criminels de l'Histoire moderne. C'est au contraire honorer la mémoire des dizaines de millions de morts.
Soutien à Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe).

J’ai ce soir une pensée pour Rima Hassan qui doit choisir entre féliciter la percée des partis arabes dans la seule démocratie du Moyen-Orient et expliquer à ses disciples qu’Israël pratique l’apartheid.
Le dilemme est rude.
“Free Palestine” but “Fuck the Uighurs” @KMbappe ?
Spineless!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign.
