American student discovers rare Bible with map of Greater Armenia
An inquisitive student from the American city of Portland (Oregon), Sam Bussan, discovered in the basement archive of the library of his Lewis & Clark college a 1599 edition of the Geneva Bible - the Bible of Queen Elizabeth I and Shakespeare, where there is a mention of Great Armenia, the official website of the Canadian CBC TV channel reports. According to the report, specialists say that in a rare edition of the Bible, the main scriptures are presented through complex woodcut illustrations. In one of the sections of the Bible called "The Situation in the Garden of Eden" a map of the ancient Near East and Greater Armenia, Babylon and the Persian Gulf is depicted on a wooden board.
The book is in good condition. An inscription was found in the book indicating that the edition was printed in London by the publisher of the English Queen, Christopher Barker.

I recently had a cardiologist say to me that sure insulin resistance plays a role, but the real cause is the cholesterol and LDL.
Well, the research shows that it's the exact opposite.
The reason that medical training teaches cardiologists to focus on the cholesterol and LDL is because we have drugs that can lower it and selling drugs is the way the system makes money.
Even if doctors tested for insulin resistance, most doctors have no idea how to council their patients on optimizing circadian rhythm and eating a whole foods diet to correct it.
The system is set up to use treatments that create profit, not an approach that actual creates healthier people and prevents disease.

Skin tags can be an early outward sign of a metabolic problem. When people with skin tags were checked for diabetes, about a quarter already had it, and some of them hadn't been diagnosed yet.
I think the link is insulin. High insulin pushes skin cells to grow and divide, and that's why skin tags tend to show up on the neck, armpits and groin, the same places where the darker skin patches from high insulin appear.
If a person has several skin tags, I'd ask for a fasting insulin test and not just a glucose check.

Testosterone matters for women too. Energy, libido, cognitive sharpness, and muscle maintenance all depend on it. It deserves to be part of the conversation.

I just heard an absolutely INSANE story which gets to the root of the sheer stupidity of modern medicine.
A nurse in the middle of the USA told me that she saw a 90+ patient admitted to hospital with an acute illness.
Per protocol, this patient was given BOTH influenza and COVID vaccines at the same time, while they were acutely unwell with another illness.
How on earth could doctors or hospitals think this is a wise idea? To give a frail patient who is already sick, a significant antigenic stimulation during acute illness? (it would take days/weeks anyway to develop immunity from a vaccine, even if it worked)
But the broad point is: stupid things like this happen everywhere I’m sure. No common sense. Complete madness from a pharma-obsessed medical profession.
I run two businesses: a translation company, and a health coaching practice. I also record interviews with health experts for the Low Carb and Fasting YouTube channel. But I can't make my morning cup of coffee! That's my husband's responsibility. 😍
My wife has a PhD-level ability to run a household, manage everyone's schedules, remember every birthday in both our families, and serve in the community and church. But she cannot, under any circumstances, make her morning supplement drink.
So every morning, I make it for her. I scoop creatine, amino acids, and more into a glass of water.
I'm starting to think she's pretending. Am I being played? Asking for myself.
Married folks, what's the thing your spouse "can't" do?

Ketones may help protect muscle during inflammation.
Researchers gave healthy men a bacterial toxin to trigger short-term inflammation, then infused the ketone BHB. With BHB in the blood, muscle protein loss from the forearm dropped by more than 70%.
An older study found BHB reduced the burning of leucine, a key amino acid for building muscle, by about 30%, and raised muscle protein synthesis by about 10%.
Ketones are a fuel, and they also appear to signal the body to hold on to muscle. @goBHBLabs

My Learnings from World Nutrition Summit 2026
Different Low-Carb Approaches. One Shared Mission.
One of my biggest takeaways from the World Nutrition Summit 2026 in South Africa was the mutual respect among people advocating different approaches to low-carb nutrition.
Some follow ketogenic diets, some advocate carnivore diets, while others are omnivores or do veg low-carb lifestyles.
Yet, what stood out was the genuine respect & appreciation for one another's work.
There was no need to prove that one dietary approach was superior to another.
People openly acknowledged those who had contributed to their knowledge and professional journeys. There was genuine appreciation for the work being done by individuals across different parts of the world.
The exchange of knowledge extended well beyond the presentations. The discussions revolved around nutrition science, clinical experiences, practical dietary strategies, lifestyle patterns and the challenges of implementing low-carb nutrition across different cultures.
What particularly pleased me was the curiosity about India.
Many were interested in understanding our traditional dietary patterns, the challenges of adopting low-carb nutrition in a predominantly carb-rich & grain-rice food environment & the work being done to improve metabolic health.
On a personal note, it was deeply gratifying to see the appreciation for my own journey of 11 completed years of medication-free type 2 diabetes remission, now entering the 12th year, through a low-carb lacto-ovo vegetarian lifestyle.
There was considerable interest in the extensive clinical and lab data I have meticulously collected over these years to document my metabolic health journey.
To my knowledge no one in India at least have the kind of data I have. They can make big claims but no data means they cannot prove anything.
It was equally encouraging to see the appreciation for our efforts to make low-carb nutrition more accessible globally, particularly through the Veg Low-Carbohydrate lifestyle course launched by Nutrition Network in association with Metabolic Health India®.
For many attendees, the summit was also a dream-come-true opportunity to meet the people who had inspired their journeys in nutrition & metabolic health.
Personally, I was delighted and privileged to meet Prof. Tim Noakes @ProfTimNoakes once again, along with several international friends, colleagues and professional connections. Reconnecting with familiar faces and building new relationships made the experience even more memorable.
My biggest takeaway:
We may differ in how we practise low-carb but we share a common purpose: improving metabolic health & helping people lead healthier lives.
There is much to learn from one another when we approach our differences with curiosity, humility, openness & mutual respect.
WNS 2026 reinforced something important for me: The low-carb movement becomes stronger when we learn from one another, appreciate one another's contributions, give due credits to our learnings and collaborate rather than compete.
Many thanks to @JanaMRetief , Martiza @KarenHeath007 & the Noakes Foundation team for all the efforts taken in organizing this event again.
@TheNoakesF @travisnoakes
Looking forward to more & more.

Vitamin C and glucose compete for entry into cells, and glucose often wins.
In tissue from the human small intestine, glucose cut vitamin C uptake by more than half. Other gut transporters that carry the oxidized form of vitamin C are blocked by glucose at very low concentrations. In both humans and mice, higher blood glucose went with less vitamin C inside red blood cells, and those cells were more fragile.
This helps explain why people with chronically high blood sugar can run low on vitamin C even when they're well fed, and why scurvy still turns up in patients with obesity and diabetes. The evidence is clear that a person's vitamin C status depends on more than intake. The amount of glucose competing with it matters too.

When the editor of the world’s most prestigious medical journal concluded that much of the clinical research it published could no longer be trusted, the problem was no longer abstract.
Marcia Angell, a pathologist who joined the New England Journal of Medicine staff in 1979, rose to executive editor and then served as interim editor-in-chief from 1999 to June 2000. She stepped down after more than two decades at the journal, formally to write a book. The deeper context was her growing conviction, formed from years of editing manuscripts, that pharmaceutical industry influence had compromised the independence of clinical research. She and previous editors had enforced strict conflict-of-interest rules, yet industry-sponsored studies continued to arrive with designs, analyses, and selective reporting that favored the sponsor’s product. Negative results were often suppressed, side effects minimized, and “academic” authors frequently carried undisclosed financial ties.
In a widely cited 2009 New York Review of Books essay, Angell wrote the line that crystallized her position: “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine.” She described an industry that had shifted from discovering useful drugs toward marketing, co-opting academic medical centers, researchers, and even the journals that were supposed to serve as independent arbiters. Her 2000 editorial “Is Academic Medicine for Sale?” and later book The Truth About the Drug Companies expanded the critique, arguing that commercial priorities systematically distorted what research was done, how it was conducted, and what reached publication.
Angell’s departure marked the end of an era of tighter editorial resistance to industry influence at the NEJM. Her public statements afterward made clear that she viewed the problem as systemic rather than isolated: once the bulk of clinical research depended on commercial funding, journals could no longer function as reliable filters of medical evidence.
