Summary


Study

I've been reading up on this a bit, and the potential link between blood glucose/diabetes and Alzheimer's as well as various other issues is rather interesting.

I actually signed up with one of those apps that will prescribe and send you constant-glucose monitors and then pair the manufacturer app with their own that provides better analysis of how your blood glucose reacts to food and activity. I've only been doing it for 4 days, but the data I'm gathering from it is fascinating.

It really is fascinating and I can see how CGMs make it to the mainstream. Right now I'm playing with the "Cooked then chilled starches" idea

Resistant Starch Production and Glucose Release from Pre‐Prepared Chilled Food: The SPUD Project

With an increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide, effective dietary strategies for blood glucose control are crucial. As carbohydrates make up approximately 50% of the diet, it is neither practical nor advisable to avoid them altogether. Most of the ...

Mercury exposure may have been a health risk for the ancient Maya. Mesoamerica's ancient Maya cities never cease to amaze visitors. However, an unexpected danger lurks under the soil's surface: mercury pollution. Researchers have found in a review article published in the journal Frontiers in Envir

scitechdaily.com

Researchers have found in a review article published in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science that this pollution is not modern: it is the result of the Maya’s widespread usage of mercury and mercury-containing products between 250 and 1100 CE. There are areas where the pollution is so severe that it might pose a health risk to unsuspecting archaeologists today
