Vitamin K, gut bacteria, natto

Post on calcium connection is reaction with questions about lyl g's latest marketing spiel on his bandaid approach with vitamin K supplements. Gets greater clarity daily that all these bandaids stretch out the time it takes to recover from retinoic damage even as they provide short term relief. To be sure sometimes bandaids are still needed. Ironic enough I use them more when I go too many days without my vitamin K supplement. At least I am using 70% less supplemental K than a year ago. Seems a topic worth studying to get me off that last 30%.

Good dig here. Too funny. Took me a few sentences before realizing I was reading lyl g's weekly marketing spiel.
Our sushi chefs since 1999 taught us a bit of Japanese common knowledge. One is 6'1". The other is 5'2". Guess which grew up inland on a farm and which grew up in fisherman's family on the coast. Tall guy got fish/meat daily. Short guy got fish once maybe twice a week.
For more confirmation, current North Koreans are a foot shorter than South Koreans. And skinnier.
Think our ancestors knew the import of meat. And survived times of low meat intake with various supplemental tricks. Natto was a supplement. Both our sushi chefs eat natto. A tiny bit every once in a while. Like a supplement. They also both eat plenty of meat now. And their kids are big. As big or bigger than they are.
After 12 years of keto at over 70% fat intake, pretty sure my bifido was nil. Gut flow during those years was low to no bile. It was also sporadic to understate it. Got to think at least partly to blame for inguinal hernia. During those years we made our own yogurt. Ate it a few times a week. Kept intake low enough to stay in ketosis. That would explain plentiful lactobacillus and shortfall of bifido.
Endogenous vitamin K is worth studying. I am still weaning off supplemental vitamin K. I still resort to supplemental K when nose and gums bleed and cuts flow more than a few minutes. I never liked natto. I wonder how Grant succeeded with the prison diet so well these last 11 years.
