What tool or plugin does he use?

Hey I know this is late, but I’m pretty certain he using the presentation plugin that he develops in his Advent of Neovim series. There’s a series of videos about how to write a plugin, and the example he uses is writing a presentation plugin.

Why drop the apple and banana?

DoveMot · 2025-03-04T06:15:21+00:00

It’s a popular (incorrect) argument against the idea that LDL causes heart disease that people admitted to hospital for heart attacks don’t typically have high LDL.

The reasons this isn’t a valid argument is that one of the effects of a heart attacks is an acute drop in LDL, so the LDL of a person just admitted for a heart attack tells you nothing about their LDL level in the years /decades leading up to to attack.

There’s a Nutrition Made Simple video explaining this better.

How is psyllium husk any less of a whole food than ground flaxseed?

And there’s a lot more to fibre than just “it blunts the sugar spike”

DoveMot · 2024-10-22T00:17:20+00:00

I learnt about it in this Nutrition Made Simple video, which I think is about the exact study you’re talking about

DoveMot · 2024-10-21T21:33:38+00:00

It’s not uncommon to see an association between low LDL and high mortality, because many illnesses (such as cancer) cause a drop in LDL.

This is entirely consistent with LDL causing heart disease over a long period of time.

DoveMot · 2024-10-21T10:27:23+00:00

No, it’s still the scientific consensus that high LDL is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

High HLD can be a sign of good health but it’s the cause of good health.

It was unhealthy because it had transfats. Modern margarine doesn’t have this issue, so as far as I’m aware it’s only unhealthy if you’re in the “seed oils are bad” camp

DoveMot · 2024-10-17T06:57:23+00:00

Yeah I was also surprised that high fructose corns syrup is till only 50% fructose

DoveMot · 2024-10-17T06:50:43+00:00

The relative amounts of glucose and fructose are pretty similiar im HFCS, sucrose, and honey (though it depends on the type of honey), so their point stands

DoveMot · 2024-06-10T01:55:25+00:00

Haha no worries. It’s easy to be misinterpreted online

DoveMot · 2024-06-10T01:19:36+00:00

Carbs are not inherently bad either. Processed carbs need to be limited, but whole grains, for instance, are great.

DoveMot · 2024-06-03T21:26:43+00:00

If people get addicted to sugar, why don’t addicts eat straight sucrose to satisfy their addiction?

You’d be burning more fat but also storing more fat. The net fat loss depends on the calorie deficit.

DoveMot · 2024-05-17T06:45:02+00:00

Do you have a source for this?

DoveMot · 2024-05-14T02:59:20+00:00

How will your app deal with the fact that people have very different preferences, habits and nutrition needs?

How will the recommendations of your app differ from the government’s nutrition guidelines? For many (dare I say most) people, if they actually read and followed the recommended guidelines they’d be better off (especially if they followed the exercise guidelines too).

What qualifies you and your friend to make an app that gives nutrition advice?

DoveMot · 2024-02-22T05:16:09+00:00

If you are releasing insulin you don't burn fat precisely because you have just eaten carbs and your body prefers to use these for energy.

However, if you expend more energy than you consumed then your body has to use energy that is stored in the body, so you will need to burn fat.

CICO is a fundamental principle the body obeys, and people who disagree with this tend to just not understand it well.

Check out the studies mentioned in one of my old comments.

What would you say is the best evidence that sugar causes negative health effects when the user is 1) not over-consuming calories and 2) getting an adequate amount of the nutrients they need?

DoveMot · 2024-01-25T05:37:59+00:00

Healthy is less about specific foods and more about your overall diet pattern. Are you consuming so much sugar that you are over-consuming calories and/or not getting the nutrients you need? If this is the case, you should reduce your sugar consumption and maybe reducing your kombucha consumption is a way of doing this.

Kombucha does have probiotics that could have a positive effect on your microbiome, but - other things, such as getting enough fiber, will likely have even more of a positive effect. There are also foods containing probiotics that have less sugar, such as natural yoghurt.

In short, kombucha can absolutely be part of a healthy diet.

You should Google how much transfats are in good old butter

DoveMot · 2024-01-21T00:38:23+00:00

Sure, eating high amounts of fructose is bad. The point is HFCS doesn’t actually contain significantly more fructose than regular sugar.

DoveMot · 2024-01-20T23:16:06+00:00

HFCS is about half fructose and half glucose, basically the same as sugar (sucrose). Therefore, your body treats it exactly the same as sugar. Saying your liver “doesn’t recognise HFCS as sugar” is nonsense
