I read the write-up and the study is valid. It does seem that BCAAs in an environment of excess caloric intake, along with high fat cause greater insulin resistance than an excess calorie diet without the BCAAs.

I roasted my first duck and I have gorgeous liquid duck fat. I’ll try this recipe. Someone at ZC just said that the secret to getting it smooth is to mix the lemon juice with the egg yolk separately and let them sit for a few minutes before adding the mustard and other seasonings. I just checked the list of ingredients of baconnaise. You don’t want to know.

Wish there was an edit button! Forgot to add zinc in addition to the K2 and magnesium = “Dr. Cannell recommends taking all three . . .”

That should have read “My April 2009, 25(OH)VitD test result . . .”

My April 23(OH)VitD test result was 48. The test a couple of years earlier, without supplementing, was in the low 2o’s. Began taking 1,000 IU daily, then 2,000 IU daily, then 5,000 IU for several months — then I took the test that read 48. Since April to present I upped it to 10,000 IU daily plus MK-7 (Vit. K2) and magnesium citrate. Dr. Cannell recommends taking all three to help utilize the Vit D3. Also try to do 15-20 minutes full body mid-day suntanning, weather permitting. Don’t know what my blood level is now. Maybe will make an doctor’s appt. to retest in September.

I have a blogsite where I am tracking success stories. Will you tell your story?? If you will, I can send you an email invite to the site.

It is so important that this information gets out to mainstream America.

I tested mine and taking 6000 units of D3 I was at blood serum level 63. It has changed my life. Don’t go too low, the benefits are too great. Better to keep it higher than lower.

Cheap Labs use something I call it the Phizer Formula.

LDL = (Total Cholesteral) – (HDL) – (triglycerides * .2)

It pretty much ensures that anyone who eats their fish and vegetables and exercises and has a doctor that doesn’t read medical journals once a decade gets put on a statin drug

Explanation:
LDL is expensive to determine. But total cholesterol is easy and so is HDL. HDL is fluffy and stuff, so it’s easier to separate out. Anyway for the OP:

LDL = (Total Cholesterol) – (HDL) – (triglycerides * .2)
in your case that’s
229 – 64 – 11 = 154! surprise

If you wanted to decrease your LDL and thus total cholesteral, you could simply raise your triglycerides. Lets say your triglycerides were 200. Then:
229 – 64 – 40 = 125! Much better! You should work your triglycerides up to 400.

It is Phizers chewbaca defense. In order to lower your cholesterol, you must increase your triglycerides. It makes no sense. So why not just accept the $100 a month statin your doctor is pushing on you? Pharmaceuticals helped pay for his school, show some sensitivity you insensitive clod.
