Public Memo to Dr. Mike Eades

Just another mishmash of links and commentary 1. Am I imagining things, or did Dr. Mike Eades just dismiss by implication, a few dozen arctic and Inuit researchers going back over 100 years as “lack[ing] an understanding of basic biochemistry?”  Eades After all, it’s quite clear, if one actually reads the post, that it’s almost…

Chicken Soup With Apple

Yes, apple. Click for higher resolution I make all my chicken soup with leftover rotisserie chicken caracas, with skin & bone. In this case, there were two of them.

Lies, Damned Lies, and The Inuit Diet

Below is likely to be a last installment from “Duck Dodgers” on the true Inuit diet, a series of posts that began last March on the subject of “animal starch.” This only led to more and more revelations about the Inuit diet; about their purported high fat, ketogenic way of life. None of it turns…
