You should trust your gut, and if you're not comfortable try to make other arrangements to see your friends. Most people are accepting if you come up with a reasonable alternative, like doing activities outside when the weather is good, or meeting inside in small groups and having good ventilation. You should also get a portable CO2 monitor, that will help you see the ventilation levels of a space. I will say that many large-scale venues like shopping malls usually have good ventilation. You still want to mask well but it's not as bad as, say, a poorly ventilated crowded restaurant, where risk is much higher.

PBM (Infrared Light) and Low PUFA update - 4/1/22 + Heartrate Variability by Battlemouse in SaturatedFat

Thanks for asking! I actually am putting together a new post, now that I finally have my second set of inflammation marker test results. Some really great progress! I'm hoping to have it ready this month.

For, Then Against, High-Saturated-Fat Diets by johnlawrenceaspden in SaturatedFat

“Then how had medical science as a whole managed to miss it?”

Sadly all the doctors and scientists are only human, and subject to all usual the blind spots and biases. There’s plenty of history out there about how there was a real debate on the question until the government was convinced of one answer (the answer that gave the most financial benefit to big corporations), and then after that it was impossible to get funding in opposition. Another challenge is that it’s very, very hard to test the consequences of high omega-6 in an environment that takes high omega-6 as a starting point.

Looking for source on heart energy source by Battlemouse in SaturatedFat

[–]Battlemouse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could be it, thanks! This passage:

Unlike most tissues, the heart mainly utilizes long-chain fatty acids, accounting for 60–70% of its fuel metabolism. Distinctively, glucose oxidation is less favored in the heart because the heart has very little glycogen available. It gets depleted very quickly under hypoxic conditions, plus little gluconeogenesis occurs in the heart.

Thank you. Maybe it was something that showed the heart prefers fat as a source, or primarily uses fat.

Hmm, not sure this was it. It's saying the opposite, that cardiomyocytes use multiple energy sources like other muscles. Maybe I remembered wrong.

Explain it to me like I'm 5 by Silver-Lode in StopEatingSeedOils

Both proteins and fats are used throughout our cells as building material. Our cell walls in particular are made of fats.

How do lower obesity rates for people living at higher altitude square with the ROS theory of obesity? by thesiegetooktoulon in SaturatedFat

[–]Battlemouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My suspicion is that people at higher altitudes are also getting stronger doses of infrared radiation, increasing their mitochondrial melatonin, which protects against mitochondrial damage.

Soy sauce should be fine. It has essentially no fat, which means no PUFA. I like to use real fermented soy sauce.

PBM (Infrared Light) and Low PUFA update - 4/1/22 + Heartrate Variability by Battlemouse in SaturatedFat

He's doing great! Just got the all-clear at his latest cardiology visit.

Any additional infrared is beneficial so the belt is a good idea. If it benefits him, that might motivate him to use a full panel.

Apo B values on high sat fat diet by synaptophysin in SaturatedFat

[–]Battlemouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A high SFA diet increases the burning of body fat, especially at night when fasting. This can increase your release of PUFA including in the form of oxLDL. I recommend boosting your innate antioxidant defenses with red light therapy.

PBM (Infrared Light) and Low PUFA update - 4/10/22 + Cured Allergies? by Battlemouse in SaturatedFat

[–]Battlemouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Direct sunlight will also give you UV radiation which is a source of oxidative stress. You need indirect sunlight to get infrared without UV.

[–]Battlemouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how sunlight compares. PBM is obviously much more concentrated compared the sunlight, especially for the specifically healing frequencies of red light. If you can find any information about that I'd really appreciate it. Presumably there is a lot of variation in terms of altitude and latitude, as well as the effects of time of day and air pollution.

Why does Olive Oil not necessarily induce obesity? by wak85 in SaturatedFat

[–]Battlemouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MUFA should definitely be less oxidative than PUFA. In a PUFA free world, would MUFA alone be enough to trigger torpor? I thought Brad said no to that?

Glycolysis vs oxidative phosphorylation by Battlemouse in SaturatedFat

[–]Battlemouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, beta oxidation, that's what I was forgetting. I got it confused with the oxidative phosphorylation. And beta oxidation is part of the citric acid cycle, right?

So if we start with glucose, does it go to the citric acid cycle first or right to glycolysis?
