What is ideal soil? by Gary Matsuoka "Pure sand is still the best long term potting soil, but the weight can be a problem. At my home we like a mixture of roughly 50% sand, 25% peat, and 25% pumice." *Compost is not ideal because its decomposition into sludge can cause root ball hypoxia.

Interesting Books Reviewed on Smedley Butler's War is a Racket and eating your own vomit: "The tragic thing is that many people who follow along and have read a lot of similar material will, in spite of all this knowledge, still say, "Yeah, but we have to go fight this war in Iran." What is the point of all this knowledge if you're just going to turn right back around and eat your own vomit? To use a biblical analogy, it’s the dog that returns to its vomit. Once you've seen all of this for what it actually is, how can you possibly go back to that mindset?"

![[How to Make Ray Peat-Inspired Coffee?] When making pour-over coffee, some of the most interesting compounds, such as terpenoids, trigonelline, chlorogenic acid, melanoidins, etc., are most soluble at lower temperatures. So, if you dump boiling water over the grounds, you're going to be missing a bunch of the good stuff. "I use a fine grind, and moisten the grounds slightly with warm water first, then slowly add water of increasing temperature. The tastier aromatic things dissolve first at low temperature, and as they are removed the hotter water gets the progressively less soluble things. It makes a very intense, dark, almost opaque extract." — Ray Peat (2014)](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1800500661970247798/ext_tw_video_thumb/1800375130343743488/pu/img/saqGDaCRSOOdRiOK.jpg)

![[Sugar vs. Fat: Which is the Superior Fuel?] "When fats are oxidized instead of glucose, more oxygen is needed to produce the same amount of energy, and less carbon dioxide is produced." — Ray Peat (2017) Let's use basic stoichiometry to compare the oxidation of palmitic acid to fructose: Palmitic Acid: C₁₆ H₃₂ O₂ To oxidize 16 carbon to CO₂, we need 16 O₂: 16 C + 16 O₂ → 16 CO₂ And to oxidize the 32 hydrogen to H₂O, we need 8 O₂: 32 H + 8 O₂ → 16 H₂O Since palmitic acid already contains one O₂, we need a total of 23 O₂ to produce 16 CO₂, resulting in a respiratory exchange ratio of 0.7. In other words, the oxidation of palmitic acid requires more oxygen and produces less carbon dioxide. Now let's look at fructose: Fructose: C₆ H₁₂ O₆ To oxidize 6 carbon to CO₂, we'll need 6 O₂: 6 C + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ And to oxidize 12 hydrogens to H₂O, we'll need 3 O₂: 12 H + 3 O₂ → 6 H₂O Since fructose already contains 3 O₂, we can subtract 3 O₂ from 9 O₂, resulting in 6 O₂ required in total. Dividing 6 O₂ consumed by 6 CO₂ produced gives us a respiratory exchange ratio of 1.0. This very basic stoichiometry shows that, compared to oxidizing sugars, oxidizing too much fat shifts a person towards a state of pseudohypoxia (using more oxygen and producing less CO₂), which is synonymous with metabolic stress: "The physiological response to stress includes increased metabolic demand which, if sustained, can outstrip the body's ability to supply adequate oxygen, leading to hypoxic conditions in tissues." — The Stress of Life by Hans Selye (1956) Remember that CO₂ is critical for metabolism and is not a waste product: • CO₂ is needed to use oxygen efficiently (Bohr effect). • CO₂ protects from free radical damage. • CO₂ protects against an excess of intracellular calcium. • CO₂ protects against glycation by forming carbamino groups on proteins. • CO₂ is the "prize" of cellular respiration, not a useless byproduct. *Some people suggest that since fatty acids are more energy-dense and contain more potential ATP, they are a superior fuel. However, the density of a fuel doesn't matter — the metabolism using those fuels dictates how rapidly energy can be produced. And per molecule of O₂, which the metabolic rates determine the use of, glucose still produces more ATP (~6.3 ATP) than fat (~5.6 ATP).](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1800138528518480231/ext_tw_video_thumb/1800137871707250688/pu/img/gWDa2QLOWcEU1Wyb.jpg)

Young Danny (pre-Danny Kaczynski) proposed 5 years ago that finasteride "worked" by creating a supraphysiological amount of nitric oxide in the body (bad). I haven't come across a better explanation yet, but would be open to different perspectives. When I sent this video to Ray, this is what he wrote back: "Yes, I think that’s exactly right. I think tissue renewal is usually paced by things like the day-night cycle, with NO, estrogen, heme oxygenase and its products, and serotonin being increased in proportion to the urgency of the renewal, activating cell division. With age or chronic stress such as malnutrition, the ability to finish the process of differentiation and maturing is decreased, making those things and the injuries that induce them, more unpredictable and dangerous." — Ray Peat (2019)

![A video article from 2016 on the role of histamine and mast cells in pattern hair loss: Antihistamines for Male Pattern Baldness? [2016] "The role of mast cells in male-pattern baldness is unknown, but the large numbers often present is a striking feature." "Following from my understanding of the implantation process of an embryo in the uterus, and the function of mast cells there, leading to formation of the placenta, I’m inclined to think of them as potential agents of tissue renewal or regeneration. I think their activation by estrogen, and quieting by progesterone, suggests that they are probably activators and guides for stem cell formation and differentiation, depending on the availability of support. Their presence in cancers has always seemed to me to indicate that both allergies and cancer are mainly systemic energy problems." — Ray Peat (2015)](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1786454059727118655/amplify_video_thumb/1786453204323958784/img/yTHl6Mj9Cpe1EGb-.jpg)
