If the SCFA's are made by fermenting fiber in the lower intestines or not, this is really interesting. Extended release Butyrate supplement pill could be the holy grail everyone is looking for?

    Great video, have you looked to see how your methionine intake correlates with changes in your epigenetic age and blood bio markers? Looks like Brazil nuts and sardines are the only foods you eat that are considered high methionine.

      Thanks Tyler, and not yet, but once I have enough epigenetic data, I'll definitely do that. Sardines (~0.8g/d) and yogurt (0.2g/d) are my largest sources, with smaller contributions from brazil nuts, oats, corn and others each at 0.1g/d..

    What does the 0.15% methionine, represent? Cronometer says the RDA is 0.4g. On a 2000c diet, I get 0.9g every day (or 197%) of what's recommended. This is on a vegan diet. Is the 0.15% methionine of the mice study the amount in total grams or of calories consumed? or is it a comparison over the RDA?

    • @conqueragingordietrying123
      @conqueragingordietrying123  Рік тому +6

      0.15% = grams of methionine *4/daily calorie intake. Note that cronometer doesn't have methionine intake for all foods, so you may want to look at your list in cronometer to make sure cronometer shows that data for each food.
      There's usually a big difference between the RDA, which is the minimum intended to reduce disease risk, and what's optimal for health and longevity. The RDA wasn't designed for the latter.

      @@conqueragingordietrying123 I guess I’m still trying to understand. So are you taking 4 (representing 1.0 gram times 4 calories per gram of methionine consumed) divided by the total calorie intake? So 4/2000, for example, would give you 0.002 or 0.2%? Seems hard to do that in calories and it’s such a small number. So, if I consume 0.9g of methionine on a 2000 calorie diet, would that be 0.9*4/2000, or 0.18%? If so, I guess I’m restricted unless there are lots of items where methionine is underrepresented. I try to only use generic food descriptions and look for the ones with the most numbers filled in.

      Methylmalonic acid from protein metabolism is affected by b12, folate, and b2 status.
      High protein diets don't lower lifespan if you have the right cofactors for metabolism for protein by products and amino acid metabolism.
      FGF21 and 23/Klotho are involved in nutrient sensing for phosphorus and calcium. Less to do with high protein or methionine level, more to do with parathyroid hormone and tetrahydrobiopterin function.

      I think chris masterjohn talks about this a lot, glycine and glynac have showed better lifespan+better inflammatory markers. From my point of view methionine increases the needs for cofactors but is overall healthy. Most people are just glycine deficient, and paired up with too much methionine it leads to unhealthy results.
      Also you get a lot of scfa from ketosis and there are several studies that show you don't need fiber and that your body can have higher inflammation from it, we are not herbivores. This study is poop :))

    Don't know how you concluded they weren't calorie restricted if they were significantly leaner on low methionine even if food volume was higher. Either they consumed less calories (possible since diet composition would be significantly different with such low protein) or they were more active.

      ketogenic diet can be formulated in a lot of different ways, methionine is part of protein and most protein is in animal meat. So a high animal meat+fat diet is ketogenic, but so is a avocado/nuts/olive oil/veggies diet that is very low. Ketosis is just high--ish fat low carbs low/medium protein.
