Excellent. First heard about this from Dr. Ted Naiman and she has a number of links to his posts and videos on the topic within this article. Thorough explanation.

Amy is one of the smartest people in the ketoverse & easily one of the best communicators :slightly_smiling_face:

I really liked her analogies!

This (below) goes a little deeper into what she is discussing:

When I mentally digest every point she hits, two things come to the forefront immediately and to my mind:

1: reverse electron transport (M. Eades, Hyperlipid et al.) and the thermal effects on hydrogenated polyunsaturated fats when eaten with processed sugars and its effect on white adipose tissue (WAT)? [1] [2]

2: gut flora microbiota ratios and what is normal (ancestral) and not normal (modern ver.) when thinking in terms of ratios, like that found in ancient undisturbed ground soil or soil based probiotics? (…more diverse microbial colonization has the deciding impact {besides soil based micronutrient deficiencies} on obesity, diabetes, cancer, auto-immunity, immunity to disease, toxin tolerances and evacuation etc. and is related to leaky gut; ratios of radial thickness of the intestinal lining, the food being digested {…through enzymes} and its ability to bypass this barrier without being properly digested [where it is directly shuttled into the blood stream and absorbed via internal organs {not broken down into proper parts}] by the host and the diverse microbial communities etc…) [3] [4]

If man is made from “…the dust of the earth…” Or “…primordial soup…” as discussed by the late Dr. Carl Sagan (“…we are made of stuff…” ) …maybe we lost a little too much dust or stuff?

If you want the “cure” for what ails ya, your walking on it?
