2019.8.26: health/diet/selenium/mercury-binding losses:
2020.1.7: summary:
. selenium (se) is an essential mineral
but it binds to mercury,
and there is a lot of mercury in some foods
especially since the industrial age,
(and some fillings release mercury;
and some flu vaccines may contain mercury).
so some may need more se than others,
ie, you may need more than is recommended.
. some lakes are low in se,
but the ocean has plenty of it,
so most ocean fish have more se than mercury,
however, even if ocean fish are not a
mercury hazard, they still have carcinogenic
endocrine disruptors such as PCB, and dioxins.
. in addition to using sardines for se,
(also omega-3 oils, and plenty of minerals)
I get se from Se-Methyl L-Selenocysteine
since it may have additional benefits
before being degraded into elemental selenium
that can bind mercury and be used in proteins.

Marine Collagen Peptides are a source of histidine
19.12.31: health/diet/histidine/
Marine Collagen Peptides are a source of histidine:
. I'm getting most of my protein from sardines
and Zen Principle Marine Collagen Peptides
from the skins of wild caught cod fish.
(precious cysteine comes from raw egg yolk).
. I was noticing from the price of histidine
that they could make a lot more profits if they could
extract the histidine and sell that separately.
. my source claims on the package
that each 10g of powder contains 230mg histidine;
also, I found an amino acid researcher
who claims that fermentation --not extraction--
is the usual source of histidine.

least-hassle way to get cash from using Bing search
2020.1.6: aq.cyb/net.bing/
least-hassle way to get cash from using Bing search:
. google is an important search engine
being my only access to some finds;
but the Microsoft Rewards program
gives you amazon cash for searching with Bing.com;
so I set my browser's default search engine to bing,
and keep google in my bookmarks bar for quick access.
. during days of research or reading news online,
I have hundreds of simple questions that bing is good at,
such as word definitions and spellings,
along with most of my questions about
health, politics, and religion.
. there is a limit of 150 points per day;
at 5 points per search, that is 30 searches.
more about earning points.
. in 2020 I get $10 for 10,500 points (70 days);
practically, I earned about $20 in 1.5 years.

usefulness and availability of various forms of #ginger #health #diet
2019.12.28: health/diet/ginger/
usefulness and availability of various forms of ginger:
2020: summary:
. Dr.Sears and others who promote
ginger as an anti-inflammatory,
suggest you should use only the fresh root
whereas the cheapest is dried root.
. people who are buying fresh ginger online
warn it can easily get moldy in storage;
so, it may be safer to buy only in store.
. I would like to find frozen cubed ginger;
but I found research that shows
powdered ginger does offer some benefits;
and, certain high-heat ginger extracts
may have more benefits than fresh.

#CBD slows #bone remodeling in study of #osteoporosis
19.12.17: news.health/osteo/cbd/
GPR55 antagonist reduced mouse bone resorption:
12.23: summary:
. bone strength is maintained by remodeling,
where bone is removed by osteoclasts
to make way for new bone by osteoblasts.
. CBD appears to inhibit osteoclast function
and might be of use against osteoporosis;
but it also increases the number of osteoclasts,
so that if you ran out of CBD for a time,
the osteoclasts would be reactivated,
and there would be many more of them.
. as seen with the Bisphosphonates
the strategy of stopping resorption is flawed,
and should rarely be used [Dr.Ott]
because while the bone may remain dense,
the bone is not maintaining its strength.
. interestingly, this is another situation
where CBD and THC counteract each other.
. as a strategy to control bone loss,
a person's hormone function is key;
[J Osteoporos. 2010]
but, never take hormones orally,
or when modified in some patented way;
that is how Hormone Replacement Therapy
got a bad reputation.
. see Dr.Lee about progesterone cream
for bone health as summarized by Dr.Jo.
