Two modern doctors take on one old one, on such topics as whether an apple a day is still good for you like it once was.

Confronting Dr. Gundry On Lectins | Inflammation & Leaky Gut

Gundry is not one of my favorites. But …

I still like and trust him more than I do the young hotshots and their scientism.

It feels like all they want is the right story to tell their patient-customers in “a modern clinical setting”.

The right story is constantly changing “in the light of new evidence”.

The ‘right’ story is always years behind the real story. The young guns impatiently state that everyone (now) knows that the cholesterol scare was a blind alley, and that beta blockers don’t help cardiac patients.

Following ‘the science’ is a noble aspiration and all of us do it in our varying ways.

I’m happy with keto and intermittent fasting. But I’m closing in fast on the goals I used them to achieve, and already starting to re-evaluate other strategies.

In particular I’m really interested in the microbiome and the second brain of the gut.

Now that my own gut is less swollen and obviously pathological, I’d like to know what it looks like in a condition of thriving.

Digging in and trying to understand are their own rewards.

Gluten is just one of the potentially damaging lectins.

Nicotinic acid, as in nicotine, is also called Vitamin B3.

The more you know the less you know the more you know.
