The Autumn Equinox is today. This is one of the two days of the year where for everyone on the planet, the day and night are the same length, 12 hours.
It's also my second day of fully avoiding all types of inflammatory sugars and artificial sweeteners. I'm already feeling so much better that my usual aching lower back first thing in the morning is not aching.
Andrew Huberman https://www.youtube.com/@hubermanlab in one of his pods talked about "stitches" as in, the pain one often gets when exercising on a full stomach as being a "bleed over" of signals from nerves in the gut into the nerves around the diaphragm.
Well, I think that this lower back pain I was getting is bleed-over from pain in my kidneys from dealing with these toxic sugars.
I thought that it was just because my abdominals were imbalanced front to back, and I've been making some effort to strengthen my front with sit-ups, but eliminating these toxic sweet things seems to be a huge step to eliminating them additionally.
Now when I look around at people, I see so many people who are fat and in clear and constant pain from consuming sugars. The fat ones can't even breathe properly with all the fat constricting their breathing tubes, and adding so much extra weight to their bodies.
I dunno about you, but I think there couldn't possibly be any benefit to carrying around 20kg of extra weight.
That's the standard amount of weight allowed by airlines for your basic cargo bay luggage. Try lifting 20kg up sometime. That's how much extra weight people are carring around to be defined as "overweight".
Is it any wonder they are constantly breathless and don't want to move around very much? I don't really blame them but if only people would learn that there is no such thing as good sugars, except maybe lactose, unless you don't have the genetics for it.
Lactose intolerance is a lot less prevalent than people think, because the cause of most IBS and gut upset is sugars and dysbiosis, which is promoted by bad sugars, especially fructose and maltose. And second most common cause of gut problems can be intolerance of the A1 casein protein in Friesian cow milk.
The largest food manufacturer in the world, Nestle, are deeply involved in this business of promoting garbage sugars in peoples diets. They even feed all the cows on corn, full of starch and malt sugars, which alters the fat profile in their meat and milk to be more allergenic.
Humans thrive on a diet of milk, since the genetic mutation that prevents the lactose metabolism being turned off after weaning.
Vegans and other manufactured food cults like to make out like there's something "weird" about drinking the milk of other animals. None of these people have ever seen how the cows, sheep and goats just keep making milk if you keep drinking it. They don't realise that humans do the same thing, even, for around 2 years if the milk is consumed every time it builds up.
It is truly a gift to our species that we can continue to consume this amazing food into our adulthood, and having been on a diet consisting of 2L of milk every day, I'm more lean and muscular than I have ever been in my life.
