The low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet comes with promises of weight loss, but a new study says it also has some serious health risks. In mice, a keto diet increases the buildup of zombie-like cells in the heart, kidneys, lungs and brain, which can accelerate organ aging and other health problems.

Forget the #paleodiet fad – study shows #cavemen dined on #plants
Our #huntergatherer ancestors ate more #vegetables than meat.
Analysis of bones and teeth found in a cave in Morocco that was inhabited about 15,000 years ago revealed the #StoneAge #diet “unequivocally” had a plant-based aspect. Acorns, pine nuts and wild pulses made up a “significant” part of #paleo diet of the prehistoric community.

Dr. Seuss and the weight-loss drug craze - By Kurt Cobb, originally published by Resource Insights
May 12, 2024

"...The obesity epidemic is being driven by industrial chemicals known as endocrine disruptors in the environment that make their way into humans via the air, the water & the food supply... Many industrial chemicals mimic endocrine chemicals in the body thereby interfering with the body’s signaling system.

...We have a system that creates widespread obesity through chemical poisoning and then sells people weight-loss drugs to take off the excess weight. When the drugs are discontinued, the weight comes back.

...Ironically, these drugs work by interfering with the body’s appetite control system by making people feel less hungry and more full. This is the same system that endocrine disruptors interfere with in the opposite manner..."

The Japanese government has decided to skip submitting a bill on "active cyber defense" — detecting signs of cyberattacks and taking pre-emptive measures — according to sources Tuesday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/01/japan/active-cyber-defense-bill-skipped/

Isotopic evidence of high reliance on plant food among Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers at Taforalt, Morocco - Nature Ecology & Evolution [Open Access] (doi.org)

Abstract: The transition from hunting-gathering to agriculture stands as one of the most important dietary revolutions in human history. Yet, due to a scarcity of well-preserved human remains from Pleistocene sites, little is known about the dietary practices of pre-agricultural human groups. Here we present the isotopic...

We don’t need the sweet stuff in our diet, sugar isn’t a food, it isn’t even a nutrient & artificial sweeteners are just that - artificial. We don’t need it - but people eat & drink so much of it that they crave it, they’re addicted, just like a drug. The only people that benefit are those that make it all, not the consumer.
Just Eat Real Food! You can get all the sweetness the body needs from real food. Break the addiction! #Food #Diet #ToxicSugar #ToxicSweeteners

Artificial sweetener could harm your gut and its microbes
