A landmark 2004 study by the University of Texas examined USDA nutrient data for 43 garden crops from 1950 to 1999. The research found consistent declines in several important nutrients:
- 6% decrease in protein
- 16% decrease in calcium
- 9% decrease in phosphorus
- 15% decrease in iron
- 38% decrease in riboflavin
- 15% decrease in vitamin CAnother study showed 80% decrease in copper. Why is that interesting? because as it turns out glyphosate, a massively popular pesticide known as Roundup, is a very effective copper chelator.
This means we are dumping tons and tons of an agent on our soils that is binding up copper and making it impossible for plants to absorb. And now our food is copper deficient.

The use of glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) has increased dramatically, being currently the most used herbicides worldwide. Glyphosate acts as a chelating agent, capable of chelate metals. The synergistic effects of metals and agrochemicals may pose an environmental problem as they have been shown to induce neurological abnormalities and behavioural changes in aquatic species.
Glyphosate was first patented as a metal chelating agent before its herbicidal properties were discovered (Mesnage and Antoniou, 2017)

A person in Missouri with no known animal contact has tested positive for H5 bird flu, the state’s department of health and senior services said Friday. It’s the first time a patient in the US outbreak has had no known exposure to sick animals. And it is the first time someone has been hospitalized with bird flu
Bird flu has a 52% death rate in humans.

I'm still amazed at how alot of the influencers out there are pettiling solutions and they keep refering to animal studies which don't necassarily translate to humans. Some of the doctor websites and youtube channels which are part solicitation also need to be taken with a grain of salt I supose.
I'm not exposed to this, but it's clearly super rampant because people seem to be buying fake snake oil like crazy, and asking nonsense questions in peptide forums. Or asking me directly since now I guess technically I'm an influencer.
Anything advertised on FaceBook is a dangerous scam. Anything advertised anywhere is probably mostly bogus, but with FB it's pretty well all of it. But there are lots of ways to get tested peptides, though Lilly and others are constantly fighting to keep that banned.

I'm not arguing that it's not full of shit, literally. I'm stating however that what has actually happened, the results, are one thing. Nothing I said contradicted Oscar's statement; nothing you said contradicts mine.
You might like Dr. Gregor's talks on factory farming and pandemics (or hate it and see we are doomed).

LOL, well, I'm not microdosing. I'm using tirzepatide at 66% of max. Semaglutide makes me feel shitty and I mostly don't use it. Moriah considered the microdosing for overall inflammation.
Oh yeah, the pharmacy...looks like my skin peptide blend is helping a neighbor's kid lose his teen acne problem. It's early on, but there are changes already.
This is based on ingredients that are so mainstream you can buy some pre-made products at Target. But they are weak and way overpriced in stores. I'm making it at doctor recommended strength which is still 40% below max. Also two of the products in it are often adulterated in the market; GHK-Cu and Hyaluronic Acid. The HA can just be weak, but the GHK-Cu is often faked with methylene blue which can be toxic. My supply is tested by a lab in Tucson, and then I double-test it with a pretty easy at-home test. Does Target test? Dunno. They don't publish results like my sources do.
It's like the world is a lie for the benefit of marketers.

Yeah, her shit is 100% ads to drive you to buy. Like this:
In this article, you will learn:
- What Ozempic is and how it works in the body.
- The potential benefits of microdosing Ozempic for metabolic health.
- How to approach microdosing safely, under medical supervision.
All she says in the last item is to pay for advice...such as (link to her $2300 online materials).
BTW, she's also anti-vaxx and has spread much misinformation on that. Currently one of her two Instagram accounts is banned and she won't come clean on why.

Kos plant-based protein mix has 35mg in a normal serving. If you mix it with water it's a bit thin, but you can use coconut-based milk which tends to be low. I have one now that's 140 per 8 ounces. You can also use Kos coconut powder which is 0. The coconut powder adds creaminess and nutrition with no junk, low calories. It's a useful cooking ingredient to introduce body and creaminess without the usual junk.

So far, the fuckery on plants has produced a few less pandemics.

Yeah, I saw "plant based" rice the other day. Made me want to try the meat-based rice for sure.
Idiots.

That's something I've totally lost any taste for. Around a year ago I was invited to an opening at a high end ice cream shop. It was ok. I was excited for the memory of how great it should be. I've been trying protein smoothie mixes as ice cream, it was fine, and then I never remember to put the effort in for it so that's forgotten.
I've lost all desire for cheese eaten standalone or as a snack, but still want the umami and texture in foods. Luckily the latest real food cheeses are effectively identical when used correctly.

Cows are still allowed to eat feeds that can include parts of pigs, fish, chicken, horses, even cats or dogs. And some of those animals -- before being rendered and mixed up for cattle feed -- are raised on food containing the same cow parts now banned from cattle consumption.

I've seen non cheese cheese. Never tasted it though.
We use a ton of it. That's not what they are sending. Some of it is fantastic, some shitty. They are rapidly improving, very literally as we speak. In the last few months they've made massive improvements.
Edit to add: Some is plant based whole food, and some is vegan/vegetarian but not plant based. As you'd expect. Options are good.

LOL, as I typed it, I knew it was going to get some shit. It's not black and white I suppose.
Another service, Hello Fresh I think, lets you logically bypass/mix some of these things. I think it's a "med diet" option. Anyway it results in plant based mostly, and the occasional hunk of salmon, which is decent.

I had a super deal for a meal service called Green Chef. The type where ingredients are supplied in the portions to cook your own meals fresh. I selected the plant based, and we're specifically always avoiding dairy.
They ship cheese and milk type ingredients. I contact them. "Those are considered vegetarian by dietitians." Yes, cool, I didn't select vegetarian, I selected plant based. Green Chef's policy is that this is the same.

That's just too much of a fragile ecosystem to experiment with, for sure. What a shit sandwich, to have a rare and barely understood disease, that makes it hard to treat other normal day to day problems. A friend was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's while he also has osteoporosis, and is finding that there aren't solid answers, just things to try. Some have horrible side effects. Nobody knows how the two diseases and the treatments interact with each other, and how to not fuck him on PD with the osteoporosis drugs, etc.

Shes got so many other health concerns shes afraid to mess with any of it.
Totally understandable. I just got off a video call with someone on Reddit about this. Her symptoms are so severe, anything is worth it, and tesa is so very low risk. If your friend ever wants to talk to Moriah/me/both, let me know.
Right now, Moriah is doing tesamorelin only, and it seems to be a 98% solution, but without the sleep benefits of Mod GRF.

Not really anywhere, you need an area with fat because you don't want the insertion needle going into muscle or a bone. They are tested and approved on the upper arm, thighs, and upper ass area. I've tried it on a calf too. It took a while to figure out how to not rip them off while doing things. The non-prescription will be under $100/mo.

Mine are ten days and 12.5 hours, the new no-RX ones are 15 days. The wire is auto-inserted when you put it on and is tiny. You don't feel it. It's applied with an automatic tool, foolproof. Put it on your skin, press the button, and a spring blasts it on. A magnet signals it to enable Bluetooth. You scan a QR code to pair it on your phone/Watch.
I wear cover patches because I'm active and damage them otherwise.

It's unbelievably stupid that they had this market controlled, but the providers want their extra profit and FDA obliged. There was enough push to get this down however. I'm currently using one of the early test releases, which were just a regular CGM with a label, and far lower cost. So damn stupid.

LOL, I guess the open market alternatives were eating too much profit.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/27/health/zepbound-tirzepatide-new-vials/index.html
Still WAY more than I pay, but it's one step I guess. Also it allows patients to control their dosage instead of being forced to use whatever the pen has. As we learn more about dosage this is becoming very important. Most people end up using way too much and/or jumping doses in a high increment.
Edit to add: This is how GLP-1s are sold in many/most other countries, mostly only we get boned with the pens.
