OFFICIAL Make America Healthy Again Game Thread - Featuring Dr Anthony Chaffee

For the past discussion on berries and their high glycemic index, my observation from this morning of eating 6oz of blackberries was less blood sugar spike than a banana. Would probably call a third less. Roughly.
I need to you run my smoothie experiment on you to test blood sugar.
1- Smoothie A: Frozen mixed berries, plain greek yogurt, nanner and greens.
2- Smoothie B: same as above but add in Chia Seeds and whey isolate powder.
Does the protein and Chia slow down absorbing sugar into the blood stream?
I finally got some Chia seeds which this thread has made me very intrigued by. Trying them out in certain areas.
From initial observations my answer would be yes, it does slow down the glucose absorption but that is preliminary. Greens = spinach?
After establishing a baseline, would love to see an isolation for the variable of pre-soaking (activating) the chia seeds vs going in dry.

(1:10 chia-to-water ratio; for a 10-30m, until gelatinous)

Sincerely, TYFYE

Who's saying Doritos are good and grass fed beef is bad though?
Also, as nice as grass fed beef, we ain't feeding 330 million Americans on grass fed steaks.
We could if we’d quit paying for other countries’ wars and problems
Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc, don't have god damned thing to do with the amount of US land and water available for agriculture and pasture raised cows, pigs and sheep. Christ.

No grass fed beef in Brazil, Argentina, Canada or Australia?

At what cost? Are we going to ban consumption of industrial cow and pig in the US?
3% of US Beef is entirely grass fed at this point. But sure, there's plenty of land/water in the US as well as the overseas markets to get us to a 100% grass fed beef eating population.
It would be great if everyone in the US could eat organic grass fed /pasture raised meats + organic, fruits and vegetables, but that's la la land stuff, chief.

The US can end poverty and homelessness too but they choose not to
Missing the bigger point by getting bogged down on corn vs grass fed, champ

I refuse to believe —until proven otherwise — that it is a monumental effort to move from corn fed to grass fed, en masse.

I have no doubt corn is probably ‘cheaper’ in the short run. That doesn’t mean it’s better in aggregate.

Especially when considering the compounding societal expenses on the backend.

The entire point of the MAHA movement is the focus on the long-lasting outputs.

This is a classic example where penny-wise and pound-foolish thinking has been extremely detrimental to all of society.

Serious question for my grass-fed beef guysm:
What is grass fed in the winter? What grass gets fed to the cattle to keep them alive when its below freezing and nothing is growing?

Hay. And hay takes a lot of land and water to produce. Half of the water used from the Colorado river goes to production of hay and alfalfa.

This appears to be a fair starting point.

It seems corn has only been around as animal feed for about 200 years, with the latest iteration since 1950.

I will finish reading later this morning.
I will read this when time permits. Started skimming and looks interesting.
 
The big thing this does for me is bringing science back to questioning and investigating not defending
It's OK to look at new things. It's OK to find out they don't work because maybe they will
