brute never said that hunter gatherers sleep all the time, or are to be emulated. brute is saying that lack of sleep can cause insulin and cortisol to spike.

Augustus was not actually talking to brute. brute therefore made this logical error, not Augustus. Augustus was responding to this line in particular, as referenced in Augustus' OP:BRUTE wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:18 pmagain, brute has never said anything negative about olive oil, and olive oil is mostly non-PUFA. Augustus is making several logical errors here:
1)brute never made the claim Augustus is refuting ("olive oil is bad")
2)olive oil is not actually high in PUFAs as Augustus seems to believe
If there is research indicating all pufas are bad, I am very interested in it, because I need to adjust my diet if so.classical_Liberal wrote: ↑ This lead me into the rabbit hole of polyunsaturated fats and cardiac disease.

C40 and brute are about 3h apart on this, indicating that brute is a strong owl and C40 is a light lark.Normal variation in chronotype encompasses sleep–wake cycles that are from about two hours earlier to about two hours later than average.
No. So I was a little surprised by your initial response to me asking.BRUTE wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 7:13 pmdoes brute really strike C40 as the type who hasn't tried this? brute has read tons of books on circadian rhythm, has tried supplements, has tried various sleep rhythms and strategies, has read scientific papers on the topic, has used a light box, blue blockers..
I don't mean to make the focus on you specifically. In these posts of mine here today, I'm interested in learning in general.BRUTE wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 7:13 pmit seems that C40 is looking for a way that he can blame brute for not sleeping right or not having the body composition that he desires. and in a way, this is right - brute could quit his job (again), and these issues would be fixed, like they were last time. brute would sleep like a baby, feel 100% all the time, and reach his ideal body composition once again.
brute's wisdom in certain areas (diet, sleep) has given him the serenity to accept the things he currently cannot change. trying something that's not possible would be a waste of resources. not everything can be changed just by believing in it. brute is open to arguments, but to be honest, brute has spent a metric fuckton of time learning about and experimenting with diet and sleep, and would be extremely surprised if he encountered a new idea.God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
So, kudos for updating, and may we all think things through as thoroughly as Brute.
All PUSFA are not bad. My statement above is pretty clear the evidence is not yet decisive. My opinion on the matter is essentially what Brute has already stated. Vegetable oils made from industrial process (corn, soybean, even canola) may be linked to cardiac disease. Re olive oil, in the same comment I spoke about my increased olive oil consumption as it is mostly monounsaturated, again already addressed by brute. Canola oil is also "mostly" mono, but less so than olive and a lower smoke point, so less useful in cooking and less healthyAugustus wrote: ↑Sat Jul 07, 2018 6:30 pmAugustus was not actually talking to brute. brute therefore made this logical error, not Augustus.

But a large new study published on Wednesday in the journal BMJ challenges the conventional wisdom. It found that overweight adults who cut carbohydrates from their diets and replaced them with fat sharply increased their metabolisms. After five months on the diet, their bodies burned roughly 250 calories more per day than people who ate a high-carb, low-fat diet, suggesting that restricting carb intake could help people maintain their weight loss more easily.
