Re: TMAO - Choline's relationship to heart disease and stroke.
Hi
That could be a concerning article but it’s worth digging deeper and here’s another take on it:

Stem cell therapies
Hi does anyone know anything about stem cell therapies? I'm considering the treatment available at the stem cell centre in Seattle. I'm interested in knowing details of stem cell proceedures, and knowing peoples experiences. Also since I live in Europe, does anyone know where a similar treatment offered in Europe (Seattle quite far to travel)
Thanks!!

Why do you insist on calling MCT-related diarrhea "disaster pants?"
Which one of the following do you prefer the most:
Upgraded Bum Octane,
40 Years of Crap in 7 seconds, or
Bulletproofing your Butthole.
Re: Tumeric Ghee- technical?, not recipe
This should be a very good way to get the benefits of turmeric. It really needs the healthy fat, and heat will increase its bioavailability even more. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties remain.
World's Best Bulletproof Pancakes
Everyone loves to have breakfast for dinner, espically kids. Make these and your whole family will think you are a wizard in the kitchen.
1- Organic Banana
2- Pasture Raised Eggs
Dash- Upgraded Vanilla
1/2 cup cooked bacon cut into little pieces
Little Bit of Bacon Grease
- Cut up the banana into thin slivers into a big bowl. Making them thin will make it easy to mix
- Add the eggs and dash of Upgraded Vanilla
- Mix it up with a fork until it feels like pancake batter
- Grab a pan and add a spoon of bacon grease
- Set temp to low
- Let the grease warm up
- Pour in batter & then sprinkle as much bacon as you see fit. (A lot is normal!!)
It will take a little getting used to, however, when you get it down, there is nothing better. That's why they are "Worlds Best". :-)
Re: Heavy Cream vs Grass Fed Butter
@Mink said:
OK, its starting to look like its the insulin responce that cream creates that butter may not and that can boot you out of ketosis. But is that the main difference between butter and cream?
Well all dairy save butter has sugars in it... carbs, and protien, which will jumpstart the insulin process. Even if it is just a little. This diet IS NOT Atkins. Atkins got people doing all kinds of over eating and restricting to the point you cant get satisfied. And worse, they dont tell you how protien gets converted into carbs when you eat foo much! Not to mention the chemicals in thier nasty snacks... ugh. Dont get me started.
Your family's intentions are cute, but they dont know shit about this diet.
If you want to enjoy a good drink with cream, at about 3pm each afternoon, I order a tiny macchiato with two shots and heavy cream. I emphasize TINY! THEY WILL PUT A CUP OF CREAM IN ANY LARGE YOU ORDER putting you at like 8g of carbs and 1200 calories. Not worth it. Tell them you only want about two tbs of heavy creamy in the mach.
Sit in the restaurant if you can and enjoy each and every sip. We are used to getting huge amounts of everything. But with this diet, we must learn to appreciate the delicacies we are allotted.

Long term NAC usage?
Are there any concerns (cancer?) when taking NAC long-term? I've been thinking about adding it to my stack, but want to fully vet it beforehand.
I've come across studies like this, but it's in a difference species and stacked with other compounds:

Similarly, how about oxaloacetate?

Bulletproof Co-car-nut Cheddar Cheese
This is is about 2/3rds coconut, 1/6th butter, 1/6th carrot. Or at least I think. Before you grind dried coconut down, an 8oz bag is like 3.75 cups, Afterwards I think it shrinks down by half...So it might be 1/2 coconut, 1/4 butter, 1/4th carrot.
Ingredients...
8oz bag dried coconut, mycotoxins? Don't care.
4oz butter...I use sea salted minerva dairy pastured butter.
About a half cup of drained canned carrots...I know...not bulletproof...histamines...whatever. It's bpa free and sea salt at least. You can boil fresh carrots yourself and get the same result, but it will take longer.
1.25tsp sea salt
1tsp ground mustard
big dashes of tumeric...didn't measure
splashes of apple cider vinegar...didn't measure. I think it was about an oz worth
Heat the carrots at like 320F for a bit...possibly removing some liquid. It might even help evaporate liquid if the carrots were heated with the butter, but I didn't do that. I put butter cold from the fridge in the hot carrots because I want to cool it down a little bit because my piece of shit processor is plastic and I want to minimize leeching. Put the dried coconut in a food processor and grind it down into as fine of a powder as you can...or your blender if your blender can do it.(mine can't) If you have a really nice food processor, you'd take it further and actually cream the coconut. Put in the salt and spices and blend it. I put it in a silicone bread pan which filled like...1/3rd tall, and when it got super solid in the fridge, I split the blocks into 3rds so they are mostly cheese slice sized squares and I made slices with a mandolin and cut my thumb bad. When my dumbass decided to use a fork to guide the blocks through, it cut way easier and more uniform.
I'm pretty happy with it, but I think it might need more salt and more ground mustard. That cheddarish flavor is there, but it's not as strong as I'd like. That said, it was still fucking delicious in a taco salad. Yes... I made cheese slices, and my first use was something better suited for grating over the food.

Re: Why Blend In A Blender Versus Mixing With Spoon Or Knife
The past few days I've been blending my BPC.
I'm never going back to the shake method or the milk frother unless I'm camping or something. It's like a whole new world, this blended BPC. I'm in love.
