is it possible that i have some underlying condition that's preventing me from gaining weight?

sure. but, nothing in the list checks out - except genetics & a high metabolism as a result of it. but, that doesn't change the physics if you keep your metabolism constant. 

i get tested yearly, and i neither appear to have diabetes nor do i appear to have any signs i'm developing it.

i'm not anemic. i get enough iron. i'm not b12 deficient, and i get an excess of it. 

my thyroid might be weird - i remember my grandmother mentioning to me once that she had a thyroid condition, but i think it was the opposite problem. i can ask them to check that next time....

likewise, if the estrogen does anything, it should increase my body weight.

i'm not going to expend less energy in an attempt to gain weight, that's insane. likewise, i guess i might drink too much coffee, but i'm not going to stop.

it just is what it is - i'm skinny, whether i like it or not.

if i lost 5 pounds relative to the last time i was weighed, that puts my current bmi at 19. i'd like it closer to 22-23. but, that's easier said than done.

fuck, i shift back to eating two giant meals per day (and still barely can) and i actually lose weight. my pants are falling off.

physics is a vicious science, and it's the simple truth of it, regardless of what the snowflakes will tell you - you decrease your caloric intake while leaving your energy expenditure stable, and your weight necessarily comes down. and, it has to be that way, too.

but, people want to do science based on surveys, participants are consistently dishonest (i know i was the only one in the building, but i didn't eat that missing cake. honest.) and the results they get don't pass the rules of basic arithmetic.

so, i'm kind of pissed, actually. i made these shifts to ensure i was getting my requirements over a 36 hour schedule because i couldn't actually eat three times a day, and i just ended up losing weight. which, i guess, gets the point across about the fact of the matter, here - i'm going to be perpetually emaciated-looking, whether i like it or not.

it's not about uniting the country, it's about ensuring the rule of law doesn't come back. nobody - not republicans, not democrats - wants to uphold the rule of law. so, what would have happened if obama had gone after bush? well, trump would have gone after obama for his own crimes, which were nearly as substantial. then, we create what the ruling class would see as a cycle of violence that they'd want to avoid. so, there's a consensus - call it the washington consensus, even. the timeframes add up. - that they just don't do this. like, at all. there's a caveat here, though, and it has to do with whether trump already tore up that consensus, and whether biden wants to bring it back or not. if biden prosecutes trump, the actual reason for it will be as retaliation for trump's attacks on clinton, which were in truth totally unprecedented in modern years. everything about trump is complicated, right? yet, even if biden interprets the situation that way, it's far more likely that biden will want to re-establish the previous consensus, at least until the next republican plays them for chumps. so, he's in a bit of a prisoner's dilemma, and i expect he'll at least try to do what he considers to be an attempt at co-operation, that meaning the re-establishment of the lapse of the rule of law, however incoherently trump may have failed at applying it (and, let's not be silly and assign any kind of consistency of thought to donald trump). then, biden's prerogative becomes to abandon the rule of law that trump failed to restore. but, i think jello realizes that, and he knows he's spouting idyllic silliness. and, i guess that says something about trump: he even managed to generate silly idealism and a suspension of cynicism from jello fucking biafra. that's surreal.

how is omar al-ghabra's background as head of the arab federation a conflict of interest in the role of transportation minister?

well, that's a role that, in the next few years, is going to require the awarding of a lot of contracts to construction firms, and canada has not stepped back from outsourcing or indicated any willingness to. it's easy to construct the concern: that putting somebody with his background in this role is going to end with what is essentially a handout to foreign construction firms, or to investors in the arab world, in general.

he might not do that, of course.

but, the point is that he has a conflict of interest.

these companies are mostly natural monopolies and should be nationalized, not broken up.

 ,

i mean, logically speaking, that's the right answer when justin trudeau, of all people, calls you a racist: yeah? well, consider the source.

in liberal canada, racists call out you!

there's probably some kind of psychological condition underlying the tendency of elite, upper-class white men to identify with what they perceive of as marginalized groups, as some kind of inferiority complex or something. it's no doubt something inverted, and no doubt goes through all sorts of prejudicial filters to get there; in context, the right idea would be something out of edward said, but internalized as a means of othering one's self, because they feel inadequate or different.

we've seen the blackface videos. he has a history of this kind of thing.

and, i've written about trudeau's obvious low self-esteem & poor self-confidence on a number of occasions.

further, we know that trudeau is deeply racist against multiple groups, due to his comments and behaviour. i mean, it's sort of hilarious to hear trudeau call somebody else a racist, given his own history on the topic. what does such an accusation even mean from such a source as justin trudeau?

we should really have a more in depth process associated with putting people in cabinet, in this country. it should at the very least go to a vote, and i think the conflict of interest, in context, is enough to vote against him.

he couldn't get a job at a fucking mcdonald's with that kind of personal hygiene.

i'll make the prediction right now:

if trudeau doesn't mow his face before the next election, he will lose it.

i think it's become clear over the last few years that if trudeau has not formally converted to islam then he'd might as well.

it's probably the reason for the assface ugly-as-fuck facial hair, too.

blanchet is right - there's a conflict of interest at play here, and it should have prevented the individual from being appointed to cabinet. it should have prevented him from being nominated, really.

i was not previously aware of this person's previous links to this organization.

what if the conservatives appointed the former leader of the canadian jewish congress, or a leader of the proud boys to cabinet? 

we have a very strange double standard with muslims because we bizarrely view them as "oppressed", despite the fact that they're the most wealthy people on the planet. well, it's not some accident - they construct propaganda to push the point, as it comes out of their religious texts. the generation of sympathy to advance political goals is actually a tactic delineated in the koran, or some book associated with the koran, alongside jihad and various other things.

https://globalnews.ca/news/7578857/trudeau-blanchet-alghabra-intolerance-hate-arab-federation/

this is why marx hated religion. he didn't seem to have much patience for the theology, granted, and, i mean, who does? he didn't mind the communal aspect of it, and even thought there were benefits to it.

but, probably his greatest single insight was the realization that religion is a tool of control that acts as a conservative force to prevent any sort of revolution at all. it doesn't just prevent proletariat revolt, it also keeps the bourgeoisie in place, in their struggle against the aristocracy. 

it is central to marxism that we need to hold the mirror up to the working class, to have them recognize their condition and reject the weberian formulation of the "protestant work ethic", which came later but is really what marx was on about. the idea that you need to work harder and harder to get further and further ahead is called slavery, and the fundamental purpose of left-wing politics is to abolish first the mindset - as a pre-requisite - and eventually the system of control that upholds it.

so, when you hear media or the pundit class try to pass themselves off as leftists by talking about "the american dream" or the "decline of the middle class", you should be exceedingly skeptical. that makes absolutely no sense in a leftist political discourse. like, at all.

that ties into these...let's say opinions about the pandemic response. obviously, everybody wants to minimize the loss of life, but it's made it very easy to tell the real leftists (who should strenuously oppose state regulation over personal freedom) from the fake ones (who are fine with and even seem to crave conservative forms of authoritarian or even monarchical governance).

i'm not going to sit around and get myself pissed off again. it doesn't matter, if there's no movement on the ground. all i can do is ask people to think more rationally and hope they figure it out.

you can't build a castle in a swamp, and you can't build a socialist society in a capitalist social framework.

go exist.

what's important in life is experiencing the freedom of having fun, not chaining yourself to the servitude of sacrifice and hard work in order to "get ahead".

and, that's a left-wing position.

and, you don't "get it".

there's a lot of very vulnerable people making a lot of very bad decisions right now, and if they keep making those bad decisions then they're going to pay for them with their lives.

that's the actual truth of it - if you're vulnerable, you need to take more responsibility for your behaviour, or learn the hard way for failing.

and, i'm sort of sick of being told to curb my behaviour for the benefit of people that aren't doing a damned thing to help themselves. this is not my responsibility, and i'm sick of being told it is.

if you're not vulnerable, it's time to tell the government to fuck off and go out and have some fun. if you get sick, it's your own damned fault for it.

stop sitting at home trying to protect people that refuse to protect themselves.

i wouldn't expect this to change.

Blinken told me that the Caesar Act is a “very important tool” to try to limit the Assad regime’s ability to finance its violence and to pressure it to change its behavior. The act provides exemptions for humanitarian aid, he said, adding that Assad, not the United States, is the source of his people’s suffering.

so, i'm back where i was for the mineral update, except to add the raspberry in as an ingredient. this will also allow me to double check the logic on how much of each mineral i'm deciding i ought to get.

starting with hydrogen...

hydrogen

i have set the requirements for water up to 40% per meal, realizing i will far exceed that with the coffee & two waters, alone.

wheat bran - 9.89*.07 = .6923 ml

sunflower seeds - 4.73*.08 = .3784 ml

flax - 6.96*.12 = .8352 ml

algal oil - 1.02*2.5/100 = .0255 ml

the new sum is:.

boron

boron is being treated as a water-soluble vitamin, so the requirements are being set to 100%/meal, 300%+ total and that will not change.

fluorine

the key update for fluoride is the water, actually. there is still 1000*.00104 + 1000*.005 = 6.04 mg of fluoride in the used toothpaste, but i'm splitting it by 4 rather than watering it down. so, 6.04/4 = 1.51 mg of fluoride in each cup of water or coffee.

the fluoride requirements have increased to 50%/meal, as the rdi is a strict per day and intake should be steady.

adding the natural fluoride means, 

for the glasses of water: .125*.85 + 1.51 = 1.61625 mg

for the coffee: .125*.35 + 1.51 = 1.55375 mg

raspberry:

obviously, i advocate the use of fluoride, but these anti-fluoride goofs have compiled a lot of data, including some for raw wheat bran:

https://fluoridealert.org/researchers/pesticide/fluoride-residues-food/

this site claims sunflower seeds have no fluoride, which i'm going to interpret as trace:

sodium & potassium....& chlorine

the sodium requirements need to come up to 150%, total, as they are a per-day requirement that should attempt to not exceed the rdi. likewise, the upper limit needs to come up to min{100*2300*1.5/1500 = 230%, k/2.5}, the second condition in the statement remaining the same as it's a ratio. potassium, on the other hand, should come up to 180%, which is 150% of the previous 120%.

i am going to treat both of these items like fat soluble vitamins, in setting the minimum levels at 40%, but i'm actually going to be a tad low on sodium in the fruit bowl and i'm not going to upset myself about it. in fact, i'm going to do something different with sodium in setting different limit levels, with 35-60% as the range for the fruit & pasta bowls, and 35-100 as the range for the eggs bowl, which is just simply going to have far more salt. the fact that my first two meals are low in salt is a good thing, and the fact that the eggs make up for it means i catch up in the end. i see no good reason to balance this out.

if the first two end up max, 150 - 2*60 = 30, so the eggs bowl has to have at least 30. 35 is set.

if the first two end up minimal, 150*1.10 - 35*2 = 95, so 100 is a reasonable, round upper limit. while i have set maximal levels based on the 2300 mg/day "danger level" identified by the state, i would prefer to stick as close to the ai as i can, with sodium - i don't really want this much higher than 175%, total, which maintains the same ratio across.

so, why pretend then? i'm nowhere close to the 2300 mg/day limit. why not set the upper limit to 175% instead of 230%?

so, these are my actual bounds:

potassium:

ai: 4700.

vitamin b5

i found that corporate pdf document for the fluoride content of sunflower seeds:

http://www.somersaultlifecompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/power_of_seeds.pdf

...and it's further confusing the point for the b5 content of sunflower seeds. 

the purpose of sunflower seeds was initially the b5. but, after sorting through data at the usda, i decided that there was an error in the information, as presented. the data has very high b5 numbers for roasted seeds, and much lower for dried seeds, which is bizarre because b5 is not heat stable, and roasting should degrade it. worse, the usda didn't provide sources for the higher numbers and did provide a source for the lower one. i consequently decided that i should pick the lower number, associated with the dried seeds, and deduce that the higher ones are some kind of mistake.

however, i've cross-referenced a bunch of the data at the above site with the usda's, and it's really pretty consistent, except to lowball. the usda has higher e calculations and higher b3 calculations, so you can't decide the company is inflating data - especially considering that it is trying to sell you on the e, then lowballing it relative to official government data. it's clearly not trying very hard, at least. that said, you expect a range - these aren't exact values. but, that's why i'm lowballing. i'm not interested in statistical nihilism. but, that means you want consistency where you can find it, and the 2.0 mg/oz total being presented by that document is about on par with what the usda is presenting for roasted rather than dry seeds. b5 isn't a trendy substance (although it maybe should be), so they don't have the motive to lowball e and inflate b5. but, they might be legitimately wrong. there is again no source, although this idea that an ounce of sunflower seeds contains 20% of the rdi for b5 seems to be what you get when you run an internet search, so we have some recycling going on, and the company may have fallen for bad data.

or, i might be wrong, and the data at the usda for roasted seeds might be right.

attempting a deeper search on google scholar more or less pulls up the same thing: while the information is legitimately inconsistent across the spectrum, books & serious academic papers tend to lean towards the lower numbers, whereas internet sites and pop science magazines tend to lean towards the 20% number.

can somebody do this with modern tools and methods for me?

there's a teaspoon of sunflower seeds in both bowls, so if i'm lowballing it, it'll come in higher than i'm calculating - by about 10%. and, that's fine.

aluminum & silicon

i think we'll leave the aluminum upper limits exactly where they are, so it's like nitrates & carnitine.

 

i intentionally set up silicon as a water-soluble 100%/meal type affair and, as i'm not adjusting aluminum, i see little reason to adjust silicon.

sulfur

i skipped sulfur because all existing requirements are tied strictly to amino acids and i didn't want to double up on it, but note that sunflower seeds are a leading source of sulfur and are now in both bowls. eggs are also a leading source of sulfur. garlic exists in the pasta bowl for now and may be removed, but i am considering adding broccoli. 

these are the sources of sulfur:

1) animal-based methionine - eggs, dairy

2) plant-based methionine - sunflower seeds, wheat, soy

3) cysteine - eggs

4) alium vegetables - garlic?

5) cruciferous vegetables - broccoli?

6) thiamin - yeast is the dominant source. way over the rdi.

7) biotin - yeast, vector, eggs are major sources. way over the rdi.

so, i'm not explicitly working this out, but i'm sure i'm meeting any reasonable requirements, and then some.

calcium

calcium will be treated like a fat soluble vitamin and set to 40%/meal, 180% total. as i remain a little leery about overdoing it with calcium, i'm going to increase the upper limit to 100%, but this is kind of trivial and just a check to ensure i'm not going haywire.

raspberry - 25*.45 = 11.25 mg

algal oil - 1000*1.02*.0034 = 3.468 mg

the new sum is:.

100*(34 + 11.25 + 5.4 + 5.9 + 16 + 18 + 23.5 + 5.11 + 6.24 + 30.6 + 3.468)/1300 + 48 +4.8 + 5 + 1.4545 + 5 = 76.5212692308

this is where the periodic table trips over into transition metals, so i'm going to take a stop, except to add two non-metal items:

selenium

i'm actually adjusting selenium to a water-soluble vitamin and adjusting the per-meal rdi up to 100%, as well as the total per day up to 300%. i'm also removing selenocysteine from the list, as this item shouldn't be separately listed. i was quick with selenium previously, as i didn't really know a lot about it and wanted to get to the next step.

this helped me understand what our body does with selenium better:

algal oil - 1000*1000*1.02*((.13/10000)/100) = 0.1326 mg

100*(.09 + .18 + 1.18 + .4 + .6 + .138 + 8.944 + 2.88755 + 1.8 + 9.96 + 4.23 + 5.432 + 4.24 + 3.048 + .1326)/55 + 10 = 88.6583636364

*recalculated to pick a different soy milk & ice cream value from usda that is hopefully more appropriate

- soymilk, original and vanilla, light, with added calcium, vitamins A and D instead of soymilk (all flavors), nonfat, with added calcium, vitamins A and D

- ice cream, vanilla, rich instead of ice cream, vanilla. this is premium ice cream, so it has a high milk content. i'd guess that's the difference.

regarding vector, the initial entry was as follows:

vector - (54 + 151)*.5*.015 = 1.5375 µg

however, i didn't record the source. oops.

i'm going to guess i found a usda supplemental document and took an average, and i can't find it now. it would suggest that you're looking at between 54 and 151 mg/kg - or 5.4-15.1 mg/100g. that seems a tad low relative to the other information i've found. as i can't source this, i can't analyze it and have to start from scratch. there will be a final, total update at the end that ensures i can source everything.

i may have taken data from wheat listed here:

https://ods.od.nih.gov/pubs/usdandb/Selenium-Content.pdf

...but, if that's what i did, the calculation is wrong because it's per cup (about 171 mg) rather than mg/kg and it should have been:

(54.9 + 151.6)*.5*(15/171) = 9.05701754386 µg

but, that number is for pure whole wheat, which isn't that good of an estimate, either. i'll catch this stuff in the end, hopefully. for right now, i'm simply not able to reconstruct what i was thinking.

(i found my  source:

https://www.fda.gov/media/77948/download

- crisped rice cereal - .151 mg/kg

- corn flakes - .054 mg/kg

that's not a very good estimate, and i clearly made it out of laziness, looking to move on)

there's an entry at the usda for "rice and wheat cereal bar", an idea very similar to what vector cereal is, that is 24.9 µg/100g. that would give 24.9*.15 = 3.735 µg, about a third of the previous amount, which is a good sanity check on the calculation. then, 24.9*.4 = 9.96 µg.

there's another sanity check here, which suggests "cereals" have around 20 µg/100g:

http://apjcn.nhri.org.tw/server/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/data/data5o.html

so, i'm using the cereal bar entry as an estimate.

but, i wanted to get to 100. so, what can i do, now?

well, i could note that the ear is 45 µg, which is 82% of 55 µg, and set the per-meal requirements to 82%, but this is a sort of a smudge. on the other hand, note that the other two meals are both well over 100% due to pasta & eggs, both major sources, and the impetus to boost the selenium through the roof shouldn't really be that intense.

something else i could do is note that one of the most concentrated sources here is the raw wheat bran, and note that i'm intending on boosting the wheat bran and decreasing the all bran, anyways. i need about 7 µg, which can happen easily if i move to 21 g of wheat bran, which would add an extra 10.864 µg, taking me up to 59.6261 µg. i could then, in theory, remove the all bran altogether, which i certainly won't actually do.

so, what i'm going to do for right now is flag it as lacking and move forwards, as it gives me a basis for reproportioning something i intended to do anyways.

iodine

iodine should be treated like a fat soluble vitamin, with requirements at 40%/meal & 180%/total.

the next update will be for the transition metals.

disclaimer:

i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.

diet options:

daily:

 2 ) pasta salad bowl:

- one tbsp of imitation bacon bits (isoflavones, maybe)

- olives?

- red clover (if locatable or foragable, for phytoestrogens)

- alfafa?

- rice bran is similar to sunflower in b5, but lower in omega-6 and lower in choline. also, less e. it would be better if i find myself strictly concerned about b5, but in the pasta bowl. this seems unlikely.

- dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & higher in choline, but also has a little b12 & has almost no fat. it's almost like the missing part of the yeast. i'm having trouble finding it though and don't think the isolate available at bulk barn is comparable. it seems to be largely seen as a waste product in yogurt production. it may be broadly useful across plates.

- broccoli?

- spinach for betaine

3) eggs:
- salami (45 g) (25% b1, 12% b3, 5% b5, 11.5% b6, 0% b9, 20% b12)

- rice (100 g) (60% b1, 35% b3, 4% b5, 6% b6, 69% b9)

- quinoa is perhaps better for betaine

need:

==========

remaining items to enter or investigate:

carotenoids (not including pro-vitamin a): <---maybe

1) lutein, 2) zeaxanthin, 3) lycopene, 4) phytofluene, 5) phytoene, 6) astaxanthin, 7) capsanthin, 8) canthaxanthin, 9) cryptoxanthin

chlorophyll:
1) chlorophyll a
2) chlorophyll b

other molecules required for proper metabolic functions:
5) ergothioneine  (cannot synthesize)   

6) pqq - .2 mg, or 400 ng, but can't find good sources

7) queuine - no rdi determined. milk, whole wheat, tomatoes.

10) creatine? (avoidance? creatine increases muscle mass (which is bad.) but also improves brain function (which is good). careful.) 

11) ribose

12) "nucleic acids"?

13) don't forget about heme

14) carnosine

15) allicin

glucose:
i'm more concerned about diabetes than weight gain, so...
the glycemic index is:
running total...

fiber:
i don't need many different types, i just need some. i'm not worrying about this.

& water

also, let's measure flavonoids:

anthocyanidins:
1) pelargonidin, 2) delphinidin, 3) cyanidin, 4) malvinidin, 5) peonidin, 6) petunidin, 7) rosinidin

flavonols:
1) isorhamnetin, 2) kaempferol , 3) myricetin, 4) quercetin  [rutin, troxerutin], 5) fisetin, 6) kaempferide

flavones:
1) luteolin, 2) apigenin, 3) techtochrysin, 4) baicalein (to avoid!), 5) norwogonin, 6) wogonin, 7) nobiletin

flavanones:
1) eriodictyol, 2) hesperetin, 3) naringenin, 4) hesperidin, 5) isosakuranetin, 6) pinocembrin, 7) sterubin

isoflavones:
1) daidzein, 2) genistein, 3) glycitein, 4) biochanin A, 5) formononetin

i should try to measure some further phytoestrogens:
