Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.

This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Wheys in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental... Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content...

OK, that a good beginner course, I will answer every good question you ask here...

Excellent info. Where does one go to get blood work done, and what should I be asking for?

I need more of this in my life.

I enjoyed it less the mockery that was the Jones Gabbi fight.

Thought that was an asphalt cart path at first look. Strange.

It seems the argument is that every upcoming presidential election is the most important of our time. I would argue the opposite. Any candidate that has a chance of winning will continue to perpetuate the status quo.

Elections are becoming less and less important.

Utxo set analysis time!

I have found a "toolchain" to extract taproot utxo pubkeys that's at least *reasonably* efficient - more on that, at the end, for the engineers.

But here's an analysis of a snapshot of the whole 167M utxo set as of 16th March 2024.

Of the 167M utxos, a full 39M are taproot (in other words, about 1 in 4 of all the individual "bits of bitcoin" that exist in our global consensus, are taproot - but not 1 in 4 *bitcoins*, i.e. not by value)!

Of that 39M, 33M are *sub 1000 sats*, i.e. basically dust or near dust. Pretty obviously, these will be "data carrying" type (probably ordinals stuff? sorry I don't know the details). Here's a rough breakdown of the taproot outputs in the utxo set by value:

Amount in sats    Number of utxos(taproot only)

> 5 million         51674

> 2.5 million       81512

> 1 million         154130

> 500k              238060

> 250k              352235

> 100k              800843

> 50k               1043038

> 25k               1333547

> 10k               2853756

> 1000 sat          6084116

> 100 (i.e. ~all)   39034007

This will not be news to most. IMO taproot *economic* usage only picks up when Lightning implementations start using it; there is only fairly limited other incentive, for now.

For my taproot based 'anonymous usage project' (see recent posts), a filter of about 500k sats makes sense to me - anon sets of 250k are pretty decent, though as we've seen, we can definitely support much larger sets.

About the "toolchain".

Step 1 is to run the dumptxoutset RPC call against Core. As noted, this currently returns an 11GB data set of 167 million coins, so be aware if your setup is size constrained.

Step 2 is to parse the custom format of this data set. I believe it's Level DB. I found the easiest way was to run this useful tool: https://github.com/theStack/utxo_dump_tools/ against the file created by Step 1. This creates a sqlite database with intelligible columns in the 'utxo' database (like 'value', 'scriptpubkey').

Then I wrote a primitive Python script to do a SELECT from utxos WHERE value >=? AND scriptpubkey LIKE '5120%' .. something along those lines.

I can directly take the output of Step 3 as input to the aut-ct tool I've been talking about recently to create tokens.

Good analysis, can't zap you.

Hey nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm, is there some way of disabling the nostr features of your plugin? I use Alby as an LN wallet only and occasionally your nip07 functionality clashes with nos2x.

Great question, I also run into this issue from time to time.

Not looking for a fight, just providing an alterate point of view.

Have a great day!
