If someone were to eat only white rice, white pasta, and no orher starches, and also fruit and greens to get Vitamins A and C, with the bulk of the calories coming from the white rice and white pasta, would such a diet cause or increase the risk of type 2 diabetes if there are no added oils or saturated fat and no more than 15% fat overall?

Kempner used that diet to reverse it see rice diet

How was sleep for Tate as a baby/toddler? Is he sleeping through the night and any words of wisdom to help him get there? Breastfeeding a 4 month old currently and cosleeping to facilitate that. I’m curious to hear what your experience was and how baby 2 has changed things.

Cosleeping means no sleeping. Also make sure to brush their teeth when you might feed, breastmilk rots them from all the sugar. When they can sleep through the night put them in their own room or in a side car, crib. Have your partner feed them when they wake. Get your sleep

Hi Mr & Mrs Vegan, live in Australia - unprecedented fires across so much of our land currently. What’s your take? It’s scary as now it’s not just bush land being affected but towns near beaches etc - out of control.

In 1939 a very large fire burned more so it’s not unprecedented. Look at pictures of protestors for controlled burns and forest management complaining about birds nests, etc. they helped sacrifice a billion creatures for a much smaller... go stick it to their stupidity so this doesn’t happen again and keep the arsonists in jail for life

Is there a difference between the way our body processes high fructose corn syrup vs other sweeteners like agave, maple, brown sugar etc?

Fructose doesn’t need insulin to enter the cell, but a portion of it is converted to glucose. Just take the % of fructose from each. Not a big deal either way. Seek to keep sweeteners low 5% of total cals unless it’s a special occasion & brush and floss!

No geologist at the IPCC? Wonder why...

27 Simple Bullet Points Prove Global Warming by the Sun, not CO2: By a Geologist for a Change

Dr Roger Higgs, Geoclastica Ltd, Technical Note on ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332245803_27_bullet_points_prove_global_warming_by_the_sun_not_CO2_by_a_GEOLOGIST_for_a_change

1) The IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has no geologists among the 100s of authors of its last major report (2013-14) & at most 1 in the next (2022; see my Tech. Note 2019-10). Thus IPCC focuses on only the last 150 years (since thermometer records began, c. 1850), yet Earth is 30 million (sic) times older, 4.5 billion years! Geologists know Earth has always warmed and cooled. Climate change is perfectly normal.

2) The IPCC’s very existence relies on public belief in man-made or ‘anthropogenic’ global warming (AGW) by CO2. IPCC authors, mostly government & university researchers, are biased by strong vested interests in AGW (publications; continuance of salaries; research grants). Similarly, universities have sacrificed their impartiality by hosting institutes mandated to confirm & act on AGW, e.g. Grantham Institute (Imperial College), Tyndall Centre.

3) The often-parroted ‘97% consensus among scientists that global warming is man’s fault’ (CO2 emissions) is untrue. It refers in fact to surveys of just a relatively small group of ‘climate scientists’ (a new type of generalist scientist, with strong incentives for bias; see Bullets 2 & 15), moreover only those who are ‘actively publishing’.

4) No educated person ‘denies’ modern global warming; it’s been measured (Bullet 11). ‘Global warming deniers’ is a deceitful term for man-made global warming doubters & deniers (most of Earth’s real scientists?).

5) CO2 is a ‘greenhouse gas’. But as CO2 rises, its theoretical heat-trapping ability sharply declines, already 67% ‘used up’ at 100 parts per million (ppm) CO2, 84% at 300ppm (NB 275ppm when industrial CO2 output began; Bullet 8), 87% at 400ppm (today 415ppm, or 0.04%) and >99% at 1000ppm. Moreover, Climate Sensitivity (CS), the warming due to doubling CO2, is guesswork. IPCC ‘estimates’ CS from climate models (circular reasoning) as probably between 1.5 & 4.5 (300% contrast!), but models are defective (Bullet 6). In reality CS might be very near zero, perhaps explaining why up to 7,000ppm in Phanerozoic time (Bullet 7) did not cause ‘runaway’ warming.

6) IPCC climate models are so full of assumptions as to be useless or (worse) misleading, e.g. forecast 1995-2015 warming was 2-3 times too high! Bullet 19 gives another drastic failure. Even Wiki (2019) admits: “Each model simulation has a different guess at processes that scientist don't understand sufficiently well”. Models also dismiss the sun’s fluctuations & omit the multi-decade delay between these & the resulting warming or cooling. This time-lag is due to ocean thermal inertia (mixing-time), grossly underestimated by IPCC (Bullets 15, 21).

7) For ~75% of the last 550 million years, CO2 was 2 to 15 times higher than now. Evolution flourished, with CO2 enabling plant photosynthesis, the basis of all life. Extinction events due to overheating by CO2 are unknown.

8) Through the last 12,000 years (our current ‘Holocene’ interglacial epoch), CO2 was a mere 250 to 290 ppm, near plant-starvation level (about 150ppm), until about 1850 when industrial CO2 emissions began, making CO2 climb steeply. CO2 today is still only 415ppm, or 0.01%, i.e. less than half of one-tenth of 1% of our atmosphere.

9) Until man began adding CO2 about 1850, warming (determined from ‘proxies’ like tree rings) since the 1700AD Little Ice Age nadir was accompanied by slowly rising CO2 (measured in ice cores). A simple explanation is the well-known release of CO2 by warming ocean water (decreasing its CO2-holding capacity).

10) Other evidence, besides Bullet 9, that rising CO2 is a consequence, not cause, of global warming is Humlum’s demonstration that changes in CO2 growth rate lag behind changes in warming rate (by about 1 year); and also ...

11) Since the ~1850 start of man’s CO2 additions, thermometer-measured global warming (1.3 degrees C) was interrupted by frequent minor coolings of 1-3yrs (not all attributable to mega-volcano ‘winters’) & two substantial coolings (0.2 deg) of 30yrs (1878-1910, 1944-1976), plus the 1998-2013 ‘warming pause’ (Wiki). In contrast, CO2’s rise has accelerated, with only a brief pause (1887-97) & a mini-reversal (1940-45), both during the 30-yr coolings.

12) This unsteady ‘sawtooth’ Modern Warming resembles the sawtooth rise of the sun’s magnetic output from 1901 toward a rare solar ‘Grand Maximum’ (GM; peak 1991), unmatched since 300AD! See Bullet 21.

13) Warming reached a peak in Feb 2016. Since then, Earth has cooled >3 years. NB no mega-eruption since 1991.

14) The ‘Svensmark Theory’ says rising solar-magnetic output deflects cosmic rays, thus reducing cloudiness, allowing more of the sun’s warmth to heat the land and ocean instead of being reflected by clouds. In support, a NASA study of satellite data spanning 1979-2011 (‘Modern Warming’; Bullet 12) showed decreasing cloud cover.

15) Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research vocal climate scientist Dr Stefan Rahmstorf (Wiki) wrongly said in 2008: "there is no viable alternative ... [to CO2 as driver of 1940-2005 warming, as] ... different authors agree that solar activity did not significantly increase”. Yet in 1999, physicist Dr Michael Lockwood FRS (Wiki) wrote in prestigious Nature journal: "the total magnetic flux leaving the Sun has risen by a factor of 1.4 since 1964” & 2.3 since 1901 !

16) Lockwood showed averaged solar magnetic flux increased 230% from 1901 to 1995, i.e. more than doubled ! The final peak value was 5 times the starting minimum value ! Bullets 17 & 18 likewise back Svensmark’s theory.

17) After the ~300AD solar GM (Bullet 12), in 0.5cm/yr), all reaching higher than today, long before industrial CO2. 27) If we stop expanding fossil-fuel use, CO2 will soon stabilise at a new equilibrium (nearer optimum for plants).

Children can not be raw vegans...   it’s abuse & dangerous

Recycled leather or pleather? Is vegan plastic produced products really better than recycled leather?

By making a conscious purchase you are already doing better, don’t trip over good on a mythical perfect

I’ve had moderate to severe red blotchy face skin for 10+ years. About 1-2 months ago I started probiotics and my face for the first time since I was a kid isn’t red anymore. Could this be why?

Which probiotics?  They usually don’t have much effect, but may have helped with a food intolerance?  Love to know more!

How would you respond to someone who says that because our brains are made mostly of saturated fat and cholesterol, we need to eat lots of animal fat like organic grass fed and pasteure raised meat, fish, eggs, butter, tallow, and lard to feed our brains, and that a low fat diet can cause brain diseases and mental illness and even low libido and ED?

Our bodies make the right amount, more is not better and leads to narrowed arteries  to the brain and penis.  They are welcome to Darwin themselves, too bad about the animals involved, but the long game is a less viable family tree from these types and less generational health and less animal consumption over time possibly from suicidal dietary beliefs.  I feel for them, it’s tragic, the education system failed them, but it’s possible their choice is an improvement from fast food!

What are your thoughts on people going vegan for eating disorder recovery? And the opposite, not being vegan during ed recovery. I’ve seen and heard a lot of comments from vegans who say it’s wrong to consume animal products during Ed recovery and opposing comments from people saying that it’s just another form of a disorder. I personally think it has to do on the person and their circumstances of their Ed. I was just wondering your thoughts on this topic since you’re not “pushy” lol.

Unless the disorder deals with a fear of carbs it’s probably not best for mental health.  There are a lot of challenges required to unseat an obsessive behavior and reducing caloric availability during a fight for life in starvation is unwise for many reasons.  Look at the long picture and realized a recovered person approaching veganism later on will save more animals.

Let's open the dialogue- YouTube is so addictive to me... anyone else? Is there a way to enjoy it but still live a healthy, balanced life?

I have watched less than 10 videos start to finish in 2 years.  Have kids and there it goes your YouTube watching aside from what your kids watch & there is no enjoyment in Blippie marathons...   just don’t follow people, turn off alerts, notifications & only watch what you would talk about in real life with someone or videos that assist you in real life.  If an addiction keeps you from real life interactions and taking care of yourself get help.  If watching brings you comfort and it reasonable by all means enjoy
