Sugar To the Rescue!

Ray Peat (“Sugar issues,” 2012) wrote …

“Experimental evidence shows that polyunsaturated (omega-3) fats retard fetal brain development, and that sugar promotes it. These facts argue against some of the currently popular ideas of the evolution of the human brain based on ancestral diets of fish or meat, which only matters as far as those anthropological theories are used to argue against fruits and other sugars in the present diet.”

Paul Titus, M.D., & M.H. Givens, Ph.D. (“Intravenous Injections of Glucose in Toxemia of Pregnancy,” The Journal of the American Medical Association, Jan, 14, 1922) wrote …

“Regulation of the diet so that there is a preponderance of carbohydrates, and an avoidance of more than short intervals of fasting by eating frequently, will control mild and even severe cases of nausea and vomiting. This increased carbohydrate intake may be augmented by giving the patient glucose solution by mouth and by bowel.”

“In the more seriously toxic patients, the intravenous injection of glucose solution gave striking results, and in the first paper our methods of treating these patients were outlined in detail.

“A series of seventy-six cases was reported, of which number fifteen were of the most serious type of pernicious vomiting of pregnancy with emaciation, jaundice, albuminuria, etc. Since that time sixty-eight more have been treated, among whom were eleven who could be classed as cases of pernicious or ‘intractable’ vomiting of pregnancy. It was necessary to perform a therapeutic abortion twice in the entire series of 144 cases, and one of these was a fatal case. It is doubtful that the latter was actually a case of vomiting of pregnancy, since the clinical course of the patient’s progress toward death was more typical of acute yellow atrophy of the liver.”

According to the same source (Titus & Givens) …

“Clinically, the intravenous injection of glucose is a valuable therapeutic measure in toxemia of pregnancy. Theoretically, there is no reason why it should not be of value in the various toxemias not related to pregnancy; and while its use in septicemia, pneumonia, thyrotoxicosis, etc., has been noted, there seems to be no reference to work similar to ours. It is true that glucose has been administered by rectum and by mouth in a haphazard sort of way for various of these pregnancy toxemias, but we believe that its therapeutic importance has not been properly recognized, nor has its prompt action and beneficial effect when administered intravenously been appreciated.

“Glucose, especially when thus injected, serves rapidly to restore the depleted and damaged liver cells, being stored as glycogen. The liver is thus fortified and aided in its fight against the toxins of pregnancy. The glucose acts as diuretic, and possibly furnishes some glycogen directly to the general as well as cardiac musculature.”

    Oleic acid is the only fatty acid our body actually manufactures, and it’s the prime storage fat in healthy people.

    Humorously, human beings have more in common with olives than they do with cattle.

    Emanuel Revici (Research In Physiopathology As Basis Of Guided Chemotherapy With Special Application To Cancer, 1961) wrote …

    “The analysis of different urine samples have shown that the amount of water present in urine seems to influence indirectly its constitution. It could thus be seen that while very diluted urine, corresponding to a large amount of water excreted, is usually alkaline, concentrated urine, corresponding to small amounts of water excreted, is generally acid. Furthermore, it could be seen that these changes are related to more profound metabolic differences. When related to nitrogen metabolism, it could be seen that diluted urines are rich in free ammonia while concentrated urines in uric acid.”

    According to the same source …

    “In fish, with water almost unlimited, nitrogen is excreted in the form of ammonia. The high toxicity in this form of nitrogen excretion is counter-balanced by the amount of water in which the excreta are diluted. Fish are ammonloselic. In terrestrial mammals, where the amount of water available is more limited, the excretion of nitrogen is made in the form of urea which is much less toxic than ammonia. The danger of poisoning the drinking water through excreta is thus reduced. Mammals are ureoselic animals. For birds, for whom water is scarce, the form of nitrogen excretion is uric acid, which through its low solubility in water, has little chance to contaminate the drinking water. Birds are uricoselic.”

    Ray Peat (“Water: swelling, tension, pain, fatigue, aging,” 2009) wrote …

    “The amount of water a person needs is extremely variable, depending on things such as metabolic rate, activity, and the temperature and humidity of the air. Working hard in hot, dry weather, it’s possible to drink more than two quarts per hour for more than eight hours, without forming any urine, because all of the water is lost by evaporation. But in very hot, humid weather, a person with a low metabolic rate can be endangered by the smallest amount of water (e.g., ‘Meteorological relations of eclampsia in Lagos, Nigeria,’ Agobe, et al., 1981).”
