TWO BAD PLAYERS. "The fact is that different foods can have varying effects on our health. For example, trans fats can lead to inflammation, insulin resistance and all the horror that follows, including cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. Another example is fructose. When consumed in large amounts (from added sugars, not fruit), it can lead to insulin resistance, elevated cholesterol and triglycerides and increased abdominal obesity." https://lnkd.in/eS66aPi View in LinkedIn

LIGHTNING DISCHARGES AND EZ. "If you go look up in the skies sometimes you can see another example of a charged battery. Basically, what you have up there is water 80% of lightning flashes are between water and water. The potential difference between these is… a few thousand kilovolts." http://www.caims.ca/news/2011-nerenberg-lecture-fourth-phase-water-gerald-pollack View in LinkedIn

FRUCTOSE OBESITY. "Fructose and glucose are metabolized differently by the body, with some individuals including Dr. Robert Lustig hypothesizing that fructose may be the cause of the rising obesity epidemic in America." https://lnkd.in/ebDTK_c View in LinkedIn

THE EZ POWER SOURCE. "The exclusion zone has a negative charge, the rest is bulk water filled with positive charge, presumably protons or hydronium ions. Basically, really what you have there is a charged battery of water." http://www.caims.ca/news/2011-nerenberg-lecture-fourth-phase-water-gerald-pollack View in LinkedIn

EVADING SATIETY SIGNALS. "Fructose also doesn’t get registered in the same way as glucose and doesn’t impact satiety in the same way. Fructose doesn’t lower the hunger hormone ghrelin. So… a 100 calories of fructose may increase your insulin over the long term, lead to higher ghrelin levels and increased appetite." https://lnkd.in/eS66aPi View in LinkedIn

IMPLICATIONS. "The prospect of information storage ... could have immense implications for nature, especially for biomedicine. The EZ’s semi-crystalline nature provides a potential substrate for storage, much like other information-storing crystals." https://lnkd.in/dxwWtq3 View in LinkedIn

CALORIE FALACY. "According to the “calories in, calories out” (CICO) way of thinking, obesity is simply a matter of eating too many calories. In my opinion, one of the biggest fallacies in nutrition is to think that all calories are created equal." https://lnkd.in/eS66aPi View in LinkedIn

CALORIE RED HERRING. "Foods affect our bodies in different ways and go through different metabolic pathways. Therefore, the types of foods we base our diet around are just as important as the amount of calories we are eating." https://lnkd.in/eS66aPi View in LinkedIn

A CALORIE IS NOT A CALORIE. "Generally, more energy is required to process protein than carbs, and more energy is required to process carbs than fat. What this means effectively is that a 2,500-calories-a-day high-protein diet adds fewer calories to the body than a 2,500-calories-a-day high-carb diet, which in turn adds fewer calories to the body than a 2,500-calories-a-day high-fat diet." https://lnkd.in/eUfDdug View in LinkedIn

IS CALORIE COUNTING A RED HERRING? A Calorie Is Not A Calorie. "Carbohydrate, fat and protein calories are indeed equal by definition in terms of their energy content, but the body processes each in a distinct way, and these differences have real implications for weight management. In addition, food calories of all types may have very different effects on the body depending on when they are eaten and what they are eaten with." https://lnkd.in/eUfDdug View in LinkedIn
