This type of protein permanently attaches itself to the sugars that line your cells. In turn they damage gut villi and disrupt the small intestines. [1]
Antibiotics have traditionally been used for growth promotion in the pork industry; however, their use in animal feed has recently been limited because of human health concerns. [2]....The aim of this study was to characterize the lectin binding profiles of the ileum of weanling pigs in response to the absence of intestinal microbiota and to the use of the antibiotic chlortetracycline as growth promotant. ...piglets expressed significantly weaker (P < 0.05) lectin binding for many lectins compared with control and antibiotic groups
Lectins is actually a form of gluten protein and is used by vegetables to prevent insects from eating them.
Lectins do this. Regarding cells.

Antioxidants are substances that may protect your cells against free radicals, which may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food or when you're exposed to tobacco smoke or radiation [1]
Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules with an uneven number of electrons. The uneven number allows them to easily react with other molecules. Free radicals can cause large chain chemical reactions in your body because they react so easily with other molecules. source: Healthline.com
Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules with an even number of electrons. The uneven number allows them to easily react with other molecules. Free radicals can cause large chain chemical reactions in your body because they react so easily with other molecules.
False
uneven number of electrons. Think of "If an atom has unequal numbers of protons and electrons, it will be charged and is called an ion." [2] http://web.sbu.edu/chemistry/wier/atoms/ions.html
Regarding free radicals being oxygen-containing molecules with an uneven number of electrons, this allows the free radicals to easily react with other molecules and this can BEST be explained by what?
think oxidants versus anti-oxidants in food. Oddly Helium is the most plentiful element in the universe except hydrogen. All the noble gases are present in Earth's atmosphere and, except for helium and radon and Argon is the most common noble gas in the earth's atmosphere. (from the earth's crust) [3) https://www.britannica.com/science/noble-gas
B) If an atom has unequal numbers of protons and electrons, it will be charged and is called an ion.
One powerful anti-oxidant is also a powerful stimulant. This is?
A) Coffee is this.
vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and other related carotenoids, along with the minerals selenium and manganese. They're joined by glutathione, coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid, flavonoids, phenols, polyphenols, phytoestrogens (are all anti-oxidants) [1] https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/antioxidants/
What hormone balances sodium and potassium levels in the body? [1]
D) aldestorone is this. [1] [1] The Bulletproof Diet: Lose up to a Pound a Day, Reclaim Energy and Focus, Upgrade Your Lifeby Dave Asprey
A steroid hormone made by the adrenal cortex (the outer layer of the adrenal gland). It helps control the balance of water and salts in the kidney by keeping sodium in and releasing potassium from the body. Too much aldosterone can cause high blood pressure and a build-up of fluid in body tissues [2] https://www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/aldosterone

This binds with minerals in your digestive trac and make them less available to your body?
minerals per healthline.com These include iron, zinc, magnesium and calcium
phytates bind with these. [1] stored form of phosphorus found in seeds, nuts, legumes, and unprocessed whole grains (concentrated in the outer bran layers). [3]
[2] Phytic acid, or phytates, is the stored form of phosphorus found in seeds, nuts, legumes, and unprocessed whole grains (concentrated in the outer bran layers). The amount of phytic acid in these foods varies widely even within the same food, based on the seed type, environmental conditions, climate, and soil quality. Phytic acid can have health benefits due to its antioxidant properties. Laboratory and animal studies show that it can protect against DNA damage and cancer cell growth. The chemical name for phytic acid, inositol hexakisphosphate or IP6, is very actively studied in cancer research and, though research is still early, IP6 has become a popular over-the-counter supplement. Phytic acid can also prevent kidney stones from forming by inhibiting the buildup of calcium crystals, a component of kidney stones.

Primarily two opposing hormones are in the driver's seat for hunger. What are they?
ghrelin: produced by the stomach's lining.
Leptins: produced by fat cells.[1]
[1] The Bulletproof Diet: Lose up to a Pound a Day, Reclaim Energy and Focus, Upgrade Your Lifeby Dave Asprey
fat cells create this.
leptins setiate hunger by this type of cell. [1] Leptin is a hormone your adipose tissue (body fat) releases that helps your body maintain your normal weight on a long-term basis. It does this by regulating hunger by providing the sensation of satiety (feeling full). [2]
[1] The Bulletproof Diet: Lose up to a Pound a Day, Reclaim Energy and Focus, Upgrade Your Lifeby Dave Asprey[2] https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22446-leptin
This is produced by the stomach's lining and setiates hunger.
B) Ghrelin (think gremlin) is produced in this location.
Ghrelin is a hormone that is produced and released mainly by the stomach with small amounts also released by the small intestine, pancreas and brain
using leptin, your liver converts fructose to either of these two chemical forms.
glucose or
triglycerides is created by the liver and comes from this chemical.
this hormone does a terrible job of turning off the hunger switch because of the sugar found in this.
What is fructose which creates grhelin from the stomach's lining. This in turn eventually satiates hunger.
A doctor in the 1950's conducted a famous study that was flawed in atleast two ways. Since then, more than 66 studies have shown this conclusion to be incorrect, that fat causes heart disease.
Alice Keys did this study. We now know that fat is needed for bile creation at the liver that then allows the gall bladder to remove toxins and the endocrine system to produce hormones.
A histamine created from food in your gut's bacteria is what? And what breaks this down?
BA: biogenic amines. Your liver uses enzymes to break these down.
men who drink 4 or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to incur what?
prostate cancer.
restricting sodium to less than 2500 milligrams a day causes what to happen?
⇒aldosterone becomes deregulated
makes your plasma renin activity go up,
⇒increasing your risk for heart attack.
Too little of three minerals in the body causes high blood pressure.
too little of calcium, magnesium, and potassium can cause this to increase.
the most likely cause of rheumatism, arthritis, gout, kidney stones, and gallstones is what?
The use of table salt with anit-caking agents like pure sodium and toxic aluminum can increase the sodium levels in the blood and cause this.
the lining of your nerves is called what? And what is it made of?
Myelin is also fat. This lines these.
Is zero cholesterol good for the human body?
No. The cholesterol is so important that your liver creates it. Regardless of whether you ingest it.
the average amount of fat that is good for the average person per day is how much?
8-10 tablespoons or 120-150 miligrams each day of this is needed on average in a man's diet each day.
the fat that tends to better for consumption is described in what way?
Fat that has shorter chains is better for people. Very short chain fats are butter, and medium can be coconut oil.
The most stable fats are what and why?
saturated because saturated fat molecules have fewer places for oxygen to damage them through oxidation.
unsaturated fats are the most damaging, but our bodies need them in moderation. the two the human body needs are what type?
Omega 3 and Omega 6 are these.
What is Omega 6, an unhealthy unsaturated fat found in some of the highest quantities?
Poultry is most commonly full of this type of fat.
What can an excess of protein cause? what digests protein in the human anatomy?
An inflammatory response can occur if too much of this is ingested. Your liver requires an efficient source of fuel to digest protein. this comes from fat or glucose.
Some people feel they need more protein. some people can eat up to how much a percentage of their daily diet in protein percentage wise?
20% up to this percentage of consumption of this may be necessary for some people. the rule of thumb is if you feel a craving for protein, then eat it, up to 20% of the daily caloric intake.
The rule of thumb is .________MG to ._______MG of protein per day per pound of body weight.
.325 and .75MG of protein per day.
What color is fat with a high nutrient density; such as, grass fed meat? Omega 3.
yellow is the color of this type of fat.
what are the symptoms of cutting too many carbs?
dry eyes
poor sleep
damage to the thyroid: over a long period of no carbs.
What type of starch can radically change our gut biome and cause it to produce a beneficial fatty acid called this?
resistant starch and this can create the fatty acid butyrate that in turn can radically change this.
Uric acid acts as a leukocyte chemoattractant in the GI tract what does this mean? [1]
the principal and unifying function of chemoattractants is their ability to induce directional cell migration, involving processes as complex as immune cell transendothelial migration as well as chemokine gradient-controlled immune cell migration within tissues [2].

What is and what causes yeast syndrome? How is it thought to be resolved?
Some people blame many common symptoms on the overgrowth of the funguslike organism Candida albicans in the intestines. They may say this fungus causes symptoms such as fatigue, headache and poor memory. This condition is sometimes called yeast syndrome. [1] overgrowth of candida can worsen existing digestive diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. To cure these symptoms, some people try a candida cleanse diet. The diet removes foods such as sugar, white flour, yeast and cheese from the typical diet.
[1] What is a candida cleanse diet and what does it do?
