“Interesting. There was an article posted on FR yesterday about a link between Urea buildup and dementia.”
It was a little scary.
Carbs are deadly to me re weight gain. So, I went on a Paleo diet for a few months and lost 45-50 pounds. I was basically zero carbs and close to it now 3-4 years later.
Also, any soy product, so called lite food and any product with more than two ingredients with more than 4 syllables in the product list seems to add weight as I eat those products.
Then, my wife and I went on a modified Mediterranean diet with free access between meals for as much veggies, fruit and mixed unsalted nuts to satisfy cravings. I am at the same weight and holding for 3 years.
Our new doctor was concerned about too much protein and the warning you posted. So he ran the labs tsst on us, last month. My lab values were in the normal range with the exception of cholesterol which is not a concern for the doctor or me.
My wife is pushing 80 like me and sometimes fought staying on her/our Med/Paleo diet. Her doctor just sent back to her a copy of her lab values with a note that they were better than most 20-30 year old women and better than any age group past 20-30. Her lab values have improved over the past few years. We and the doctor feel that our Med diet is helping her.
Her other benefit appears to be a much more youthful facial skin. Her facial skin looks better than some of our age 40-50 relatives. She uses a couple of simple Mary Kay products.
We use Costco’s premium Extra Virgin Olive oil and real butter. We have smoked salmon, veggies, fruit, and mixed nuts for breakfast. A small chunk of some leftover beef, pork or chicken for lunch. Dinner revolves around grilled salmon, steak, pork shoulder loin or chicken. I grill a mixed veggie side or she does one in the oven. We are big on left over grilled stuff from the evening before. In the winters, we make beef, chicken or seafood stews from scratch.
Bttt
So 60 is way over the top?
Hmm, so I should wander around in the high 40’s to low 50’s range, have my toast and occasional monthly fried chicken dinner. And a nice quality hamburger.
Condolences to family and friends of Meegan Hefford.
‘’’So 60 is way over the top?’’’
Well, if your body mass is under 50 lb which I suspect is not the case, yes.
It’s 21.
Wife and I watched a Chicago Med with a similar case except the patient was a vegan with that abnormality. She restricted her diet so much, her body began feeding on her own muscle...digesting the protein and releasing ammonia which eventually led to her brain death.
First I’ve ever heard of that situation.
“Next time someone tells me they were bedridden with double ammonia I’ll take them seriously.”
Don’t be so gaseous.

I saw that urea article. It said to take Lactulate (sp?) to push urea out of the gut.
I had a routine exam yesterday and asked about the urea story. My doctor laughed and said take Lactulate if you want huge amounts if diarrhea.
Yep. they essentially become like the Replicants of Blade Runner: The light that burns twice as bright lasts half as long.................
Who was that world famous runner back in the 80’s who died of a heart attack while running?......Bill something or other?.................
Cigarettes taste terrible!.............good fiber, but horrible taste!................
Your doctor is correct.
The problem here re the free urea may be from abusing/ODing on some of the over the counter products that can be toxic when too much is taken.
