What do low-tar cigarettes, low-fat yogurt and healthy whole grains have in common?
Followers of the Undoctored and Wheat Belly books and lifestyle understand a basic truth in logic: Just because something is less bad does not necessarily make it good.
Low-tar cigarettes have less of the toxic compounds that leave the brown residue–“tar”–after tobacco is burned, but smoking low-tar cigarettes does not reduce risk for lung cancer, mouth/throat cancer, or cardiovascular disease.
From Stanford.edu on the impact of tobacco advertising:
Claims of low ‘tar,’ less ‘tar,’ or even lowest ‘tar’ have been circulating in cigarette advertisements for dec...

The arithmetic of yogurt
I’ve been recently discussing how and why we make yogurt with two strains of Lactobacillus reuteri to augment our oxytocin status and thereby enjoy additional weight loss, reduce appetite, grow muscle, increase bone density, obtain younger more supple skin with increased collagen, accelerate healing, increase testosterone in males, etc.
I’ve received a considerable amount of feedback from people who have been making L. reuteri yogurt and consuming 1/2 cup per day: reduced facial wrinkles, smoother skin, dramatic reduction or elimination of appetite, increased energy, better mood, reduced bruising (specifically ...

Help Promote Acceptance (Not Just Awareness) of People With Autism
For quite some time, people have been “lighting it up blue” when April rolls around each year. But for the professionals and families supporting people with autism and related disorders, we understand a need to migrate away from awareness and closer to acceptance.
There have been recent major gains in that direction. The Netflix show “Atypical” stars a main character with autism, as does ABC’s “The Good Doctor.” Sesame Street created Julia, a child with autism featured on the show and in books.
Real people with autism are also gaining prominence. A South Florida car wash—Rising Tide—employs only people w...

Wisconsin ’s Butter Scheme Is Udderly Cheesy
Minerva Dairy, based in Ohio, is America ’s oldest family-owned cheese and butter dairy. It has been producing artisanal, slow-churned butter in small batches since 1935. They have gotten along by selling via their website and regional distributers in several states. This model has worked fine everywhere except Wisconsin, which requires butter manufacturers to jump through a series of cumbersome and expensive hoops to sell butter inside the state.Of course, Wisconsin is America ’s Dairyland, with many large dairy producers who naturally want to limit their competition. At the behest of these large producers, the state ...

Ten rules to get your vitamin D just right
Restoration of vitamin D is one of the most powerful health strategies to have come along in years. Combine this with other Wheat Belly strategies and you have an exceptionally effective way to reverse the factors that allow numerous modern health conditions such as diabetes (type 1 and 2), hypertension, bone thinning, arthritis, depression, and autoimmune diseases.
Vitamin D is such a crucial factor in health that you would therefore think that most doctors would be experts in vitamin D. Sadly, that is not the case. The majority of mainstream medical doctors are woefully ignorant, do not read the science nor try to unders...

The trouble with cognitive biases
LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog LITFL • Life in the Fast Lane Medical Blog - Emergency medicine and critical care medical education blog
Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of Pat Croskerry and metacognition but I do wonder whether the rest of the medical profession has become a bit fixated on cognitive biases.
The fact that our errors now have names can lead to recrimination. Ever seen an M&M follow this cycle?
Name (the cognitive error)
Blame (usually the person isn’t named, but they feel it)
Shame (note that cognitive errors have been talked about before)
Train (having talked about it agai...

Cholesterol: Understanding HDL vs. LDL
There are two main types of cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). (Lipoproteins are made of fat and protein, and serve as vehicles for your cholesterol to travel through the blood.) Cardiologists are often asked about low-density lipoprotein (LDL) versus high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The difference is important to understand.
What does HDL cholesterol do?
HDL clears from the body via the liver. HDL may therefore prevent the buildup of plaque, protect your arteries, and protect you from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It is considered the “good” cholesterol, and higher...

Over the past few years, there has been so much hype and speculation around gluten, with many people considering it the number one gut health enemy.

So if you have been experiencing symptoms of gluten intolerance especially after eating something that’s made from wheat, then lectin could be the cause of your problems.
