  • 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)








  • agreed, its 100% a lemmy issue. Out of curiosity, why unsubscribe at all? What is the downside?

    For example, when I first heard of lemmy-federate, I added the bot to my instance, and then i unsubscribed from lots of communities in my feed, assuming the bot would subscribe, and I could use “subscribe” like a normal user… but the bot didn’t subscribe, and i lost all those communities - unless i subscribed again.

    Will the bot eventually subscribe again if the followers hit zero? I’ve waited 24 hours, and so far it hasn’t.

















  • Dr. Seyfried also has a conversational video talking about the paper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl5Nt3WrV5E

    summerizer

    In this video, Professor Seyfried discusses his recent paper that challenges long-standing assumptions in cancer treatment, specifically focusing on the Warburg hypothesis. He argues that many contemporary theories about cancer are based on misinterpretations of data from influential scientists like Otto Warburg and Sydney Weinhouse. Seyfried emphasizes that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease, driven by energy dysregulation instead of traditional genetic mutations. He introduces new insights into the role of mitochondrial function and the necessity of fermentable fuels like glucose and glutamine in cancer cell metabolism.

    Key Points

    Cancer Misunderstandings

    Professor Seyfried outlines how modern cancer treatment theories derive from incorrect interpretations of ancient data, particularly misrepresenting the energy metabolism of cancer cells. He argues that this has led the cancer research field astray for decades.

    Warburg Hypothesis Re-evaluated

    Seyfried discusses the Warburg hypothesis, which posited cancer as a disorder of energy metabolism due to insufficient oxidative phosphorylation. He explains how earlier interpretations of data failed to acknowledge other forms of ATP production in cancer cells.

    Oxygen Consumption vs ATP Production

    The video highlights Seyfried’s findings that oxygen consumption does not accurately correlate with ATP production in cancer cells, as opposed to normal cells where oxygen consumption is an effective marker. This distinction is crucial for understanding cancer metabolism.

    Mitigating Cancer Growth with Fuel Restrictions

    Seyfried suggests a paradigm shift in cancer treatment—removing glucose and glutamine as energy sources—since these fuels drive cancer cell growth. He proposes ketogenic metabolic therapy as a more viable approach for managing cancer.

    Mitochondrial Function in Cancer

    The discussion emphasizes that cancer cells exhibit mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to altered energy production mechanisms and excessive lactic acid and lipid droplet accumulation. These abnormalities are signals of compromised oxidative phosphorylation capabilities.

    Demand for New Cancer Treatment Models

    Finally, Seyfried calls for a review of cancer treatment strategies based on understanding its metabolic origins rather than purely genetic approaches, asserting the need to develop management techniques that address the metabolic dysfunctions of tumors.
