  • Does gout come from consuming animal products? Hmm, I hadn’t heard that, before.

    Opposite actually - fructose intake, alcohol intake (same pathway as fructose in liver), advanced glycation end products (glucose intake) are the major drivers of gout.

    https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-821617-0.00004-8 Section 7.3 if you would like to know more (overwhelmingly so) - it’s available on the normal 🦜 sites.

    Basically the old connection that meat can drive uric acid a bit and uric acid is a component of gout isn’t actually helpful, during a active flare up avoiding meat can help reduce uric acid levels a tiny bit but it does nothing to address the systemic cause of the gout in the first place. i.e. Watermelons have a high water content but are not causal in drownings, but avoid eating watermelons while actively drowning… same thing

    As you all know by now, on September 10th, Charlie Kirk was murdered on a college campus in Utah. While I’ve always vehemently disagreed with Kirk on 95% of issues, and while I stand by everything I said about him in this video, he didn’t deserve to die. Nobody deserves to be murdered or physically harmed because of their words and beliefs.

    When I found out he was shot, I had the misfortune of seeing the video. It was the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I had to stop doing homework. I couldn’t pay attention in class. It shook me to my core. It affected me a lot more than the Trump shooting, and not just because this time someone had actually died. The President of the United States will always be a target. If the President actually gets shot, it’s shocking and horrifying, but it usually means that the Secret Service just had a bad day. But when a political commentator, an internet celebrity who held no public office, is murdered in cold blood, something is deeply wrong with your country.

    My thoughts are with Charlie and his family.
