I have been researching this as a hobby for several months now and have landed on a few "truths" which I will hold dear to me.

- The average human needs far more Omega-3 and far less Omega-6. Supplements of Omega-3 have been proven to help with inflammation (and heart disease, et al).

- Supplementing Omega-3 through fish oil or algae oil, etc. is proven to be effective, in a world where often times supplementation is not a substitute for diet.

- The Western world is less enraptured by spices and vegetables that are proven to reduce inflammation. I know this addresses your question, but does not answer it - there are many foods of this category. Turmeric, ginger, and maqui come to mind. This is one of many considerations for our higher prevalence of heart disease.

- Supplementing extracts of anti-inflammatory/antioxidant plants has been shown to improve oxidative status in controlled studies.

- Diets low in carbohydrates have been shown to reduce inflammation.

^ I would share links, but I have hundreds of bookmarks and I wouldn't really know where to begin. I'd suggest just starting with searches on Pubmed or other scientific bodies and letting your exploration grow organically. It's a bit of a journey of understanding, and a whole lot of "what seems to make sense". Much of this stuff can not be proven except through trial - the fact of the matter is that there are too many intricacies, unless you care to devote your life to understanding it.

There are sure to be a lot of surprises in terms of what we have taken as truths, along with their dubious conceptions.

You might find studies that are counter to what I've stated, or it might be that your body composition doesn't respond as impactfully to these things as mine has. I am open entirely open to the idea that there are misfires in much of the research I have held dear. Only within the past few years has there been a concerted push toward studies on low-carb diets and the effects of inflammation, but they generally seem to point to these very important truths.

I am crusading a bit because I've been struggling with depression and anxiety my entire life - it took 27 years for me to consider that my diet might be the culprit, and with these changes I have an entirely new outlook on life. I understand that not everyone has these battles, and so do not need to seek these solutions.

But for those that do or must, it's been such a dramatic shift that I hope they will find hope in a possibility, that through research they can find a solution of their own. I never imagined that my mental health could be so influenced by my diet.

As they say (and which I never truly acknowledged): Your gut is a second brain.

Oh yeah that makes sense, thanks for the explanation. Similar to how the positive affects of meditation can be quite addicting, I imagine!

We humans sure do like getting addicted to stuff.

This situation seems comparable to Typescript in this analogy. It has taken several years, but I feel like it is beginning to take hold.

I don't think "remembering to eat" is really in line with anorexia, if that's the parallel you're trying to draw.

I know you're joking, but it's really not a concern at all. A healthy mind will seek food after a fasting period.

I'd add a caution of my own, which is not to gorge yourself during this period. Your body should be given time to adjust back to a normal diet. Though this isn't much of a concern for brief fasts under the intermittent fasting regimen.

Worth noting that if you refuse to get fats from animals, it's important to get your DHA through algae oil.

Without commenting on the design, I just want to say that I appreciate how well the information on the home page is laid out.

You addressed all of my questions in order and in a compelling way. Very solid melding of marketing and education.

> as simple as it is useless

I have found this mindset helpful. Is it regarded as useless in a dietetic context?
