Great video by @mariokratz.bsky.social on lowering liver fat and improving insulin sensitivity in people with fatty liver. I happen to be in the least attractive group, given my very low-fat animal-product-free diet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cH8...

Great presentation on low-carb versus high-carb diets by @mariokratz.bsky.social. My own diet is low-fat, to the point I have to supplement with fats. Not because I think fats are horrible, but simply because I have no culinary use for them, i.e. I don't like them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrfT...

1/ Interesting video on fibre by @mariokratz.bsky.social In his typical dispassionate and objective style, Mario Kratz discusses different aspects of fibre, a nutrient that has always fascinated me, mainly because of the promise that it is satiating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T38Q...

Insulin resistance is one of the key factors underlying type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. And even among people with normal glucose tolerance, many are insulin resistant. To learn how you can determine whether - and why - you are insulin resistant, and what you can do about it: youtu.be/R8fOBSAgdBY

If you are interested in insulin, obesity, and diabetes, I highly recommend this conversation with @jimjohnsonsci.bsky.social Jim is very knowledgeable, but what I really appreciated here was his thoughtful and open-minded consideration of the cumulative evidence on each issue. Bravo!

How potentially harmful additives have infiltrated America’s food
