I'll give you my cheeseburgers when you pry it from my cold, dead hands...

Well, I did cut back years ago with the discovery of my very own personal stash of gallstones; and still have them.

Well, I just had quadruple bypass surgery in mid April, so I can blame my gut bacteria, and not bacon and cheese?.....................

Cheeseburgers are fine, just ditch the bun.

As medical remedies go, red wine and olive oil consumption is one I’ll indulge in even without the benefits.

I’ve also found that regular consumption of yogurt with live and active cultures has reduced my diverticulitis from 6 times per year to never.

Rather concerning to read that red meat, eggs and other animal products increase the gut’s production of TMAO. Kept reading and found that, thankfully, olive oil and red wine limit the production of it. We eat plenty of red meat, eggs, butter, etc. But I also buy olive oil by the large tin and drink box after box (don’t judge me!) of red wine.

Had a checkup with the cardiologist yesterday-everything looks good. It’s just that my family Cardiovascular history is about as bad as it can get so I am careful about our diet.

all gut bacteria imbalance is caused by LOW stomach acid. There’s essentially no such thing as high stomach acid (and yet the MMC (mainstream medical community) is quick to prescribe antacids.

“In subsequent mouse studies the researchers found feeding young animals TMAO rapidly degraded vascular health. After several months of being fed TMAO the young animals’ vascular function effectively resembled that seen in very old mice.”

And that right there is the problem with the study.

Backing up prior research findings, the study affirmed dimethyl butanol, a compound found in olive oils and red wine, blocked the gut bacteria production of TMA.

Drink red wine with your cheeseburger, or dunk it in olive oil!

I gave ‘em up—along with all unhealthy food—a long time ago. Never felt better in my life—and my EKG etc. show why.

So red meat, eggs and other animal products (which increase the gut’s production of TMAO) are bad for you?
Shame that these are good sources of Vitamin D ...

I recall reading recently about a large-scale study of the drug Metformin - it showed that diabetics given this lived years longer than those without the disease! It can also reduce inflamation, improving outcomes for cancer and heart treaments.
