I knew a personage in their fifties who was diagnosed with high blood pressure, I advised them to stop watching, reading and listening to the ALPBC and Fauxfacts – but did they take my advice?
No – and now they’re dead, dead, dead. Just like my ol’ man, hounded to an early grave at the tender age of 80 by his rapacious reading of and listening to the j’ism purveyed by Fauxfacts and the ALPBC.
The japs couldn’t get him, but the two monstrous entities mentioned above eventually did. 😕

I knew a woman who was diagnosed with high blood pressure, she was in her early 50s at the time. Instead of taking medication to help the high blood pressure, she told various people, including myself, that raw garlic would cure her.
Allicin is the active ingredient in garlic.
It acts as a weak anticoagulant and can reduce sensitivity to thrombotic disease.
Untreated hypertension damages small-midsize arterioles and can cause microscopic centrencephalic vessel disease, usually vacuoles, leading to vascular dementia.
Hypertension is an asymptomatic disease, until it isn’t.

Whether ABCess fungus or politician, we can find satisfaction or even glee in the departure from public life of our self-designated alphas. This is understandable. What we seldom assess, however, is the damage they have left behind, which is often expensive to repair, or irreversible. The vandals move on, often to better paid positions, and we think we have won.
Winning cannot be achieved without effort. To win, one needs to compete. Winning by luck or happenstance is a blessing, but not an outcome we initiated.
We have deluded ourselves into thinking that one termite taking one bite of the structure before moving on, is nothing to be concerned about, because our field of vision is only one termite wide.

Of course the garlic didn’t work, and two years year later she was diagnosed with vascular dementia, her decline was shocking.

According to Dr Paul Mason (Low Carb Downunder) any oil at room temperature will oxidise. He has reservations about olive oil.

And Lizzie, you and Hairy are also such good friends too. I’m blessed. I will email you tomorrow. My mother, who can no longer knit due to her arthritis, was smiling seeing her daughters knit. My brother in law, who usually goes into the study when the three of us are together, because we discuss everything under the sun…loudly, has said tonight how quiet his wife, mother in law and sister in law are. He’s just said he might make knitting compulsory for us because it shuts us up!
I’ve also made cinnamon babka! Been busy!
Cass, anytime. You are the most inspirational woman I’ve ever known and that’s no mean feat.

The sweet and twenties have all gone home now. In terms of sugar content, the afternoon was a dismal failure. I did try to keep the cakes and sweeties down and provided a lot of fruit (blueberries, strawberries, cherries, grapes and raspberries) but the numerous little cakes and the big birthday one with ice cream as well as cream defeated my good intentions. Still, there’s nothing left now except a few forlorn crispy chips in a bowl. The big hit was platter of runny truffle double Bree, presented first with the various dips and bikkies and slices of Narn bread. My two older sons had earlier disappeared down the back garden with The Dog, a Staffy mix who bounded around everywhere over the rocks while they carried out a mind-altering shared smoking ceremony of their own. A rousing round of Happy Birthday hit the rafters as we lit up the cake and the birthday boy looked sheepishly happy. His father and uncle were taking pics, and the interlude in the garden with the dog had certainly put energy into their singing. We pretended not to notice.
Hint. Do no buy those numbers for the cake which are shaped as sparklers. They are a bugger to light, worse than mozzie coils, and for the second one you get sparkler sparks on your hands as you have to hold the match to the number for about 45 seconds before it ‘takes’. The first one which is necessarily close to make up the number is meanwhile merrily burning around and is nearly out. Only good for single digits, I concluded. The health freaks liked them though because no-one blew on the cake.
Hairy’s watching the cricket and all’s well with the world.
No.
Do ya know who Andrew Bragg’s current squeeze is? The ex Liberal member for the seat of Reid (the electorate my sister lives in)……the one and only Fiona Martin.
Bragg and Martin are ideally suited to each other, they’re just not ideally suited to the Liberal Party and they should f*ck off.

I am so proud of my twenty year old grandson. He is a worker and a doer and a thinker, studying as well. He is tall and good-looking and has a happy and intelligent approach to the world and its foibles. Anyone would be proud of him and how he’s turned out. His schizophrenic mother and his far-left American TDS stepmother as well as his entirely scatter-brained father and autistic thirteen year old half-brother were there too. He has time and concern for them all. And for me and Hairy too.

Very happy about my lot in life. I walked away (in reality, fled) from a potential place at the ruling caste’s trough in Scamberra (I’d been existing among them since January 2011) after making a (seemingly tough) decision to head back to Sydney in April 2017.
Soon convened the Sydney Cats, including Cass, Lizzie (and Mike), Tints*, jupes, Harlequin, Beery, Dragnet, Rafe, Mr Rusty, Col Bosi and possibly several others – who shall remain for now, unremembered.
Best decision I’ve made in a long, long time. We all at some point have to live with our decisions in life. Getting the hell out of Scamberra was a literal “no-brainer”.
And here we are! 😕

Yes, the harvest date is important. Light will oxidize fats. Many foods oxidize, especially cooked foods. Fried foods are the worst for that. Don’t just take these statements in isolation, think about it, challenge the idea. How much oxidation and what is oxidized are the key questions. Did he provide values for those? If he didn’t disregard it because it is a scare tactic. A little oxidation probably induces hormesis. Oxidation gets a bad rap. How many know about the opposite risk of oxidation, reductive stress caused by too little oxidation?
Aided and abetted by the health bureaucracy and the epidemiologists.

Also had a visit from a bunch of cockies, so I took a bowl full of stale bread bits out into the backyard. Put bowl on lawn. It was like a snowstorm! Immediately a whole flock of cockies and corellas arrived and availed themselves of the bowl of bread bits, with me in the middle. They get hungry in winter.

1. Seed oils are pro-inflammatory – really? Which ones? How refined? What fatty acids? What other trace compounds are pro-inflammatory?
2. Seed oils are pro-oxidative…err, how? Unprocessed olive oil will oxidise but highly processed canola or sunflower won’t without poor handling and impurities.
3. They’re literally poison, but coconut fat isn’t, flax seed oil isn’t, lamb fat isn’t…
A lot of the American criticism of these as a food product is based on very outdated knowledge.
(Not this guy, but…) Demanding saturated fats and omega 3, 6 and 9 acids…conjugated linolenic acid is one of the most heart-protective substances. All “omega” FAs have at least one double bond, that is they are at least monounsaturated.
Re the discussion on Hebel earlier today.
My house and every other house in the village is made from Hebel panels. Team of 4 can do a house in 2 days. Two fix the aluminium U sections to the frames, while another 2 start cutting the panels to size. When the u sections are on, two blokes position the panel, while the 3rd screws them into those U sections. The 4th bloke follows along with the grout.
A couple of days later the renderers come in and have everything looking schmick.
The insulation provided by the Hebel is incredible. This is the warmest (winter)and coolest (summer)house we have ever had.
If it is an omega 3 and 6 imbalance, just eat some more omega 3… …easy!

Oxidation gets a bad rap.
And for very good reasons, it is the final pathway mechanism of DNA cross-linking, mutations and cancer.
It’s also involved in the actions of reactive radicals in vasculopathies and thrombosis.
Loss of control of oxidative processes eg. superoxide dismutase, occurs with age.
Oxygen is the reason we live and die.
This guy has really shot himself in the foot. Rolled milled wheat, partially hydrogenated fats, sugar and cottonseed oil were around for decades if not over a century in a widespread manner before we got a decline in metabolic health from the late 1950s up until and including the current day.
His prior graph showing the 250 cal a day increase in caloric load with a shift to carbs and less fat, protein and saturated fat was pretty good.
Not yet, but next month they are going to limit the amount of cash you can withdraw daily to $1000.
I don’t think that’s just by ATM only, where it might be understandable, but in general.
Time for me to make some daily withdrawals, to built up cash reserves, as I like to travel with a bit of cash handy, and to keep some at home for when the machines temporarily (one hopes) go kaput.
Hope it works out better than you than it did for me!
So, I went to Dan Murphy’s because although their regular stuff is all pretty higgledy-piggledy with a a lot of garbage spread in, their French wines can be quite good.
So, wanting to branch out into Chenin Blanc as a variety I bought an Australian one last week, went for French this week to compare.
Bloke in Dan Murphy’s (there are usually have one or two people wandering about on weekends to give customers insights and suggestions) steered me toward two French Chenin, recommending one that was good and suggesting the other was good for its price.
Fast forward this evening, the wine chilled and the chicken in the oven.
I crack the wine for a taste and to let it open up for a bit. I note that the swirling indicates rather a viscous wine. I sniff and note intense fruit and honey. Slightly nervous I take a taste.
Botrytis.
It is a freaking dessert wine!
Out comes the generic Chardonnay into the freezer so I can have something.

Now we are getting somewhere. Fat-soluble vitamins A, D and K in butter are far more nutritious than refined and bleached CSO. He should mention in weakly deodorised canola, there can be up to ~200 ppm of vitamin E/isomers. Normally or heavily deodorised canola is about 0 – 50 ppm of vitamin E/isomers.
This is an argument I totally agree with and because it is factual. Seed oils can be nutrient deficient. There could be a very good argument that encouraging low red meat consumption and highly refined seed oil lowers vitamin K consumption to the point where the hardening of the arteries cannot be mitigated at all.

I’m struggling to fathom how a Fatmurican can average nearly 100 g a day of vegetable oil consumption. Such a diet no doubt would mean a lot of highly processed wheat flour and sugar.

On the internet there is a cure for every disease. A tragic example is people resorting to natural strategies for cancer. For all that is claimed about health secrets stress management may turn out to be the great neglected causal factor contributing to the diseases of civilisation. The internet isn’t helping, if anything it raises stress levels.
The big change is the slow development of genetically tailored dietary management. Not ready yet but soon, hopefully less than a decade away. Then wait another 30 years for that technology to mature.

Last night James Morrow interviewed Batya Ungar-Sargon, who is an opinion editor of Newsweek. I have a lot of time for Batya, she’s smart and switched on and she looks beyond the normal confines of most journalists. Batya understands why ordinary Americans, that is working class and middle class Americans, remain avid Trump followers. Unlike many journalists and commentators, she understands the Trump phenomenon, and she understands why Trump still has such a huge following among the hollowed out communities, towns and cities that once comprised America’s industrial rust belt, how these people over the last two decades have been done over, sold out by globalism, free trade, corporatism, big pharma and so on. And last night, talking to Morrow, Batya said something interesting about DeSantis, that whilst he’s solid on confronting progressive woke and he’s got a good track record dealing with progressive woek, he hasn’t confronted the woke in his own party, the GOP establishment, which still supports free trade, which still supports globalism, which still supports corporatism, which still support unnecessary US military intervention, and all the other establishment shibboleths that have destroyed the West over the last two decades, and in the process, destroyed human lives.

No, I don’t think you ever do.

It’s the benefits of palm oil & betel nut.
I want to know why omega 3 doesn’t undergo “catastrophic lipid peroxidation cascades” but omega 6 does.
The idea that mitochondria cannot function whilst they have omega 6 or hyperperoxidised omega 6 FA reaction products is rather odd. They can’t clear out during normal sleep/fasting? I thought there was a mechanism to remove fats and fatty acids.
Believe it or not, too far right.

He also fought to get the Lydia Thorpe bikie’s moll story published.
Management wanted to give it the pillow treatment because apparently it was “punching down on a blak woman”.
If high omega 6 causes heart failure, why is CLA heart protective?
Singling out omega 6 fatty acids being unable to be normally metabolised and the only fatty acid that undergoes lipid hyper peroxidation without proof is a joke, but it is what this guy’s panacea theory of cancer and metabolic syndrome rests on.

Oh and Miss Planet indeed Rabz.
It’s also a little bit weird that he’s blaming omega 6 FAs but he does not mention the effect of removing vitamins ADEK in supplementing rats/mice diets with omega 6 FAs which he mentions at the start are usually totally deficient in ADK at a minimum.
Fiona “Call the Police” Martin is one I’m well familiar with.
Now all I gotta do is remember who the heck Andrew Bragg is, & why I’ve forgotten him.
It’s also incredible he thinks you could put on 50 kg in 7 months by eating 19% of your calories from a high omega 6 fatty acid type fat source in your diet (being only 19% fat out of total calories).
So how fat would you be in 25 years?

Jebus cried bitter tears of anguish. Ms Cutter – the Nobel Academy just called, wondering where you’ve been all their lives.
Anyway, “Sliante” to all. Saturday night was to have been a pub steak and chips, but the cook’s gone home, sick, so it’s takeaway pizza and very good champagne.
Warner gone!
Warner.
Removed by Stuart Broad. Again. 9.
Glorious.
LAAAAAAABUSCHAAAGNE!
0!
Golden duck. Stuart Broad. God bless you, Brendon McCullum!
Labuschagne, as well, by Broad, caught behind.
Please, please let Smiff be the third wicket of a hat-trick.
A random acquaintance asked me what I thought about Warner.
I said, “he’s a cheating midget houso ranga”. It was reflexive and I wasn’t aware I said it until a second later, but it got instant and hearty laughter.
My word! Broad is on a hat trick!
We landed in Ha Noi the day after Giap died. It was an interesting place to be.
I rang a mate of mine, who was a veteran of that war – wounded twice – and told him he had outlived Giap – he thought it a great joke.
Hopefully the Australian marxist scum will be bowled out for 50.
I had a quick look and omega 6 FAs can induce cardiolipin remodeling. Not a good thing. Again though, how much, how often and what is the lifestyle consideration?
Good point. There is the old joke that if rodents take over the world they will be forever grateful for us curing cancer in their species.
A very old study had a conclusion that left me perplexed. It found that old men with the highest D levels also had the highest levels of cerebral vascular calcification. K2! They didn’t test for that.
Never draw a conclusion from an animal study. The omega 6 as the cause of all our ills is simplistic. It makes for a compelling video and bad science. I’m still not convinced of that earlier video arguing no changes in inflammatory status from various oils. What was trial timeframe? Chronic conditions take decades to manifest symptoms. What about their overall diet and lifestyle? Merely being in a clinical trial can change people’s behavior. I only use Cobram olive oil but don’t let it smoke off the pan. Too much heat.
I think there is merit in erring on the side of not consuming too much seed oil (like 80 g – 100 g a day [!!!]) but declaring it the sole cause of cancer and metabolic syndrome is batty.
Steady on.
It’s my go-to for warding off vampires.

A few wines, Warner gone. Good times.
The last word on diets.
Steel cut oats.
Brilliant.
I’ve got a dose of Covid three days before I’m scheduled to drive up to FNQ for my swansong project.
All oats are steel cut – how the fvcking Hell do you think they are harvested?
Looking fwd to a Neutron power plant.
Siouxsie Sioux – just magnifique.
Doh. Make that a Blue Monday
Maybe a Neutron power plant or dance.
Err, wrong.
They made the playoffs of the last T20 World Cup.

At the moment I’m reading Cyclone Coasts by H.H. Wilson (1980). It’s an account of her trip north along the west coast of Australia. Each settlement’s cyclonic history is detailed, as well as other interesting anecdotes.
One story worth quoting refers to the North West Cape (pp. 46-47):
There’s a memorial there to both those attacks.
Steel cut, as opposed to the more plebeian rolled oats.
Bob Carr had very strong feelings about them.
There’s two well brought up young ladies – nicely reared…
Extraction 2 last night and The Covenant tonight. Both good.
Hey, Miss Personage – I want a love like …
Me thinking of you, thinking of me, thinking of you, type love … 🙂
The whole group is good.

Love your work. Just finished watching Covenant. Different kind of Guy Ritchie movie. Enjoyed with a couple of beers, a wiskey and a cigar.
Liked the credits: After Bidens withdrawal 300 murdered, thousand in hiding. My wife follows a US group who sent a private airfleet in and extracted hundreds after Biden closed shop and put a lid on things. There really is an A Team out there sometimes when Government fails to back up their words.
Duck. – help me pleeeease
After dinner I get the wave in me to eat something sweet.
What do I do?
When I walk past a bakery my feet are rooted I stand in front of the widow staring at the chocolate donut which is saying eat me.
I wilt and demolish the donut only to want another one.
What do I need to do.
Carr was awful but looking back was he any worse than Baird or Gladishocklian?
Credlin has got to the nub of the problem, not only did Gallagher, Wong, Albo, Plibbers not counsel Higgins to go to police, so did the Wilkinson media complex. All are guilty of participating in a vigilante action to get Lehrmann disconnected from our established legal system. That the media refuse to vilify them for this is a disgrace.
Marvelous.

well after 2011 Rabz- insulting tosh for which he was rightly pilloried. About 5 years ago iirc. “In a conversation with Senator Sinodinis…” Oh Lord.
Mr Smith, the wobbling Garrett impersonator.
Gorn. Snivels from the field, as he should.

I said from the beginning that this was a hit job on the Morrison government and Labor, the Greens and their friends in the MSM didn’t give a toss they were trashing the presumption of innocence. But, as Paul Kelly writes today, they were also aided by a completely incompetent, spineless, supine and craven PM by the name of Scott Morrison and his idiotic government.
The whole thing has been and remains a disgrace, even yesterday, that utterly putrid bitch Gallagher said she believes Higgins was raped. And Higgins’ three million dollar bucks? Payment for services rendered.
1. Put. The Donut. Down; or
2. Do enough exercise to work it (and anything else you like to eat) off.
The End.
The steel cut iats was from his stint as Foreign Minister when he made it pretty clear he was in it for what he could get out of it. He didn’t give a rat’s about his portfolio, he just liked the jets and hotels and honour guards and doubtless stuff that a well balanced person does not need to prove to themselves.
As Premier the problem with Carr was that he had the Press completely in his thrall. Like Keating, he has them so that even when he abused them they would adore him all the more.
The press were unpleasant with Gladys, but never for valid reasons – it was always that she was not as left as they wanted – and she sucked up to the left plenty.
“Carr was awful but looking back was he any worse than Baird or Gladishocklian?”
Carr was far worse than Baird or Gladslag.
No, the ‘orrible weird grotesque deformed steel cut oats hoovering homosexual* was most certainly not.
He was also “tough on croime”, as various provincials that don’t exist in NSW are now discovering.
And “his woife” was of the Asian extraction.
*His treasurer, the four foot eight Michael Vegan, was also (entirely unsurprisingly) a homosexual.
Steel cut IATS?
Auto-Corrupt is very fickle as to when it works, as well as inept.
Rabz and Cassie- I defer to your opinion. Actually that whole FM scam- appointed not elected to the Senate- a total indulgence on OPM. Gladishocklian’s abortion ambush is in a clash of its own though.
class of its own*
I read a cricket journo before the Test Championship saying that Warner wanted a swansong summer, culminating in his last match at the SCG. The way he’s going, he won’t last this series.
putrid bitch
Its these neutral statements that leave me wondering where commentators sits. LOL.
I knew about Egan- common knowledge.
Is it just me or do all Bony M songs sound the same?
There once was a cricket top order…
Milts – we had to put up with sixteen years of those f*ckwits, courtesy of the Greiner* gifting them fixed four year terms.
*and don’t get me started on that monumental gliberal knobhead …
I’m going back to the days when the Australian Defence Forces were comprised of a gang of mildly alcoholic, heavily armed, sex maniacs, but I’ve been in an Iroquois helicopter, with “Ride of the Valkyries” in the background…the adrenaline was flowing…
Part of the reason I left NSW Rabz! In those days Bracksie didn’t seem too bad…
sacre bleu!
