There is interesting published research on the benefits of salt. Salt isn’t the hypertension boogyman it’s been built up to be, the real hypertension culprit is the sugar and carbohydrates.
oh nice! how is it going? seeing results?
Any way to force the federation of the unban later to get the instance to sync the current ban status?
I just wrote a script and iterated over the instance list from lemmy-explorer.
That’s a good idea! I tried that, but if your banned from a instance the mod log of that ban doesn’t federate back to my instance.
Example: https://lemm.ee/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=1208549 vs https://sh.itjust.works/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=1211562
The sh.itjust.works ban isn’t federated.

This!
Many people’s hormones are out of balance due to a diet with lots of sugar and fructose. It never hurts to cut down and see if things improve
Really fascinating design
Bare concrete designs always have a stable and comforting quality to them, at least for me
This is how exits work for companies with IP.
Cholesterol is a broad term and doesn’t address the specifics necessary to addr iness overall average health for an individual.
I agree completely, people should not be trying to treat a cholesterol number. They should be optimizing their metabolic health. Cholesterol should be an indicator that further follow-up is required, either arterial imaging, or diet and lifestyle interventions
Then there is the whole “sugar” issue. There are dozens of sugars and we only associate the term with fructose or sucrose. We can technically name all sorts of things as sugars, but if it doesn’t include sucrose and fructose explicitly, then it “isn’t” sugar on the label.
Happily, all of those sugars do get included in the carbohydrate label on packaging. I would say dietary carbohydrates are the biggest culprit in cardiovascular disease, and that’s what people should focus on instead of cholesterol.

Not all experts agree.
- A 2009 meta-analysis of 28 cohort studies and 16 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concluded “The available evidence from cohort and randomised controlled trials is unsatisfactory and unreliable to make judgment about and substantiate the effects of dietary fat on risk of CHD.”
- A 2010 meta-analysis of 21 cohort studies found no association between saturated fat intake on CHD outcomes.
- A 2014 systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and randomized controlled trials found that the evidence does not clearly support dietary guidelines that limit intake of saturated fats and replace them with polyunsaturated fats.
- A 2015 meta-analysis of 17 observational studies found that saturated fats had no association with heart disease, all-cause mortality, or any other disease.
- A 2017 meta-analysis of 7 cohort studies found no significant association between saturated fat intake and CHD death.

Extremely well written! Thank you for putting that together
Eating lots of meat isn’t a problem for cholesterol
There is a group of people, the LMHR (lean mass hyper responders) who do have highly elevated cholesterol on very keto/carnivore diets.
The outstanding question is if cholesterol is actually harmful in of itself - the data I’ve seen indicates that it isn’t harmful.
“They” can also just he normal people who don’t want to be wrong. Doctors are famous for their humility and self reflection.
The cholesterol heart hypothesis was pushed by ancel Keys, who has since been shown to be a dishonest academic, leaving out data, or abandoning research if the results didn’t math the preconceived conclusions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancel_Keys
In medicine, like many fields, sometimes the old guard has to retire out before change can happen.
I’m also a [email protected] and I’ve satisfied myself that LDL by itself is not a risk factor I should be concerned with.
it doesn’t have to be a card. it’s up to you, but even if it is…
Going to the ATM to get cash, then spending that cash on a donation box doesn’t create a relationship with the donation box.
i could also just donate with crypto and not have the banks, the credit card system involved at all.
Look at how simple the GOS donation page is: https://grapheneos.org/donate
Send money, done.
donate.wikimedia.org as an example, requires a email address, and their policy is

they keep all of the personal info, so yes, it very much starts a relationship with them.
In order to donate with traditional systems, you have to dox yourself
I use monero, and I donate to projects in monero.
I don’t want to start a relationship with those I donate to, I want to drop money in the pot and walk away. I don’t want followup emails, I don’t want to be on a donor list, I don’t want call to action phone calls.
Every other form of transaction starts a permanent relationship. I don’t like that
Confidence makes the Chad, not the haircut.
I’m on a all animal products diet for gut and health reasons. I started doing keto for hypertension, once that cleared up I found full carnivore much easier to maintain. The benefits to my health have been pretty amazing. If I cheat, or go off the food plan, I feel it pretty quickly.
If I eat something with sugar now, I can feel my heart rate increase. If I eat some plant products, I can feel my gut bloating.
It does make eating out a little tricky, but most restaurants have a good option on the menu (poached eggs, grilled chicken, etc)
