Possibly a huge breakthrough

[Marvin the Martian]

I read some books on the role of gut microbiome and came away unimpressed. It seemed a fad, and people were trying to use that as just a way to make money. But they are still researching things and they may, emphasize may, have a breakthrough in Alzheimer's. We've been tempted by breakthroughs before, so temper expectations.

Scientists took gut microbiome material out of humans with Alzheimer's and placed it into healthy rats. The healthy rats developed Alzheimer's. That sure lends at least some credence to the idea that this condition (and many more) may come from the gut. The article below is on the new Alzheimer's finding, but this same thing has been done with rats and obesity making previously slender rats into obese rats.

In a Huge First, Scientists Transfer Alzheimer's to Healthy Young Animals

The role of the gut microbiome in causing Alzheimer's disease has finally been confirmed.

I'm still not sure eating greek yogurt, kimchee, and sauerkraut is going to keep all this away (common diet ideas suggested by the books) but there may be ways to lower the bad bacteria.

I'm a firm believer that our gut has a big impact on some aspects of our health. In autistic children, I've seen firsthand that diet has a huge impact on behavior and cognitive function. There's way more to it than active cultured food like yogurt and sauerkraut. Many times it's more important to not ingest things, mainly certain carbohydrates in our experience.

This initial link to Alzheimer's is fascinating.

I've been told bourbon kills the bad bacteria.

I've been told bourbon kills the bad bacteria.

I've been doing extensive testing of that hypothesis. It may be many more years before it yields any meaningful data though.

I did testing on that as well.

I got at least one kid that I know about out of it.

Best oops ever.

Ethanol is the second member of the primary alcohol family since it has two carbon atoms. It has amphiphilic properties, with a hydrophobic moiety derived from the alkane ethane and a polar hydroxyl group. Importantly, the hydroxyl group contains a hydrogen atom that...

Ugh I have chronic stomach issues and hate all those nasty foods. I do take a probiotic. Interesting stuff.

Drink more bourbon, Zeke.

Even if it doesn't make the stomach issues go away, you won't care.

You don't like Yogurt? I get Kimchee and Kraut... but most people like yogurt and various forms have probiotic benefits.

I see what you did there.

Frozen…. I’m a big texture person. Texture of it grosses me out. I have a child’s palate.

Can't wait to use this excuse on the wife next time I'm hammered and/or hungover.

I only assume you have a Costco-sized box of Golfish in your pantry and Dinosaur-shaped Chicken Nuggets in your freezer?

Is that a problem? Don’t forget the Smuckers peanut butter crustables. And don’t get me started on how many times I have to beg to order a grilled cheese off the children’s menu. Why should kids get all the best stuff?

The Court can not be fined, challenged or impeached.

And crowding the plate and showing up my pitchers will always get you one in your ear.

Roseboro and Marichal.

Now that’s real baseball.

No judgment here, I’m on a similar diet eating with my kids. Can’t say it’s been good for the waist or heart, but I’ll be damned if I don’t admit how good and satisfying their food is.

 

[Univee2]

Well done. Damn, this makes me laugh every time I see it, along with the line about basing a system of government on a sword in a lake.

 

[Univee2]

Just going for the cheap laugh.

I would much rather have Kimchee and Kraut than yogurt.

I guess I don't know the data, but I would imagine that you are a minority given the size of the offerings for each of those categories (pickled vs. yogurt products)?

She does those bubbly seltzer drinks. The problem is that all of the bubbles sink to the bottom on her and every time she sneezes, she sounds like a trombone playing an E flat.

These are great. I do three in the morning. I have friends with ulcerative colitis like I have that have been able to stop taking their colitis meds. I haven’t been brave enough to stop mine.

My wife hates my cooking. Says I eat like a kid. So the last time she went on strike and told me I was in charge of supper, we had grilled cheese (Wonder bread and Kraft singles), Kraft boxed Mac & Cheese, and canned green beans (for nutrition).

Now when she goes on strike she just tells me what kind of pizza she wants me to bring home.
