This is my last attempt at making any sense out of this forum thread, and dealing with Longshot. Meat - that would include chicken - is quoted on: a) a raw, wet-weight basis - so levels of fat AND cholesterol will not be as high once it's cooked, and depending how it's cooked can vary fairly...

Longshot, If you'll read my post - carefully this time - you'll see I refered to DIETARY cholesterol, NOT blood cholesterol levels. The quote you have is correct - BLOOD cholesterol levels are, inded, of concern. The cholesterol levels in FOOD, in most people with normal liver function...

Longshot, I'm curious. I worked some years back with the Special Learning and Behavioral Problems (SLBP) program for troubled Junior High, and High School students. Your erratic, emotional responses, and acting out are very closely related to what therapists see with this population. Now...

Thanks for the correction db. You are ,of course, correct. Dietary cholesterol intake is not really the issue for most people - saturated fat intake is of greatest concern. People with reading of, say, 300 total cholesterol generally have these readings because of a derangement in liver...

Hi Axeman, You were right! You warned me - I should have listened. I told you I'd probably regret not taking your advice! But I have enjoyed your input! Immensely!

Since this forum thread seems to have become Remedial Education for Longshot, let's correct his use of grammar, and spelling, along with his math skills. No Longshot, you are not playing "sematical" games with me, because such a word doesn't exist. I think what you meant was SEMANTIC games...

Oh Longshot, let's see if we can educate you a bit further - doubtful, as you've so clearly demonstrated, but we'll try...again. The recommended levels of fat are set as a PERCENTAGE of total calories. This means that the absolute NUMBER of calories is irrelevant, only the PERCENTAGE of...

Franklin, Height/weight measures are flawed, largely because they do not account for body composition. For example, you might have an athlete that's, say, 5' 8" tall but weights 190 lbs. Now, the insurance actuary charts are going to say this individual is quite overweight. However, if...

Longshot, For now, my question again is: What qualifications do you posses for giving opinions in this topic? That question seems pretty clear to me, and apparently to several others. As to what did I mean by "this tidbit," you'd accused me of "vague, unsupported opinion " in my...

The processes of deamination, and the production of ketone bodies in the absence of glucose are not "vague, unsupported opinions" of any sort. They are called (ready?): Aspects of...Biochemistry. You nipped nothing in the bud, you simply answered as you always do - with flip, off-handed...

So Slapshot, I'm curious. Since you seem to take great delight in the sarcastic ridicule of those who don't share your beliefs, just what background training is it that allows you to hold yourself up as the expert in this topic? I've talked about science, while you seem to have little to...

One example is the Inuit Indians in northern Alaska, whose diet consists of largely protein and fats throughout much of the year. In the absence of carbs, the body does two things. First, it will engage in a process called deamination where the NH2 group is stripped form an amino acid to...

One thing that gets consistantly overlooked in these low carb vs low fat discussions is the differences in fats. There is a huge difference in the way your body deals with, say, butter, and the way it deals with something like hemp seed oil which has a mix of omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids...

Just a quick note to say Thanks! kc and waggie! I appreciate your help!

Can someone explain the S&P futures vs Fair Value, and some of the ways it's used to interpret the market? For example, this morning prior to the open, it was quoted as: 6:22 AM -1.3 8:00 AM -0.7 8:20 AM -0.7 8:40 AM -0.1 8:55 AM +0.8 9:15 AM +0.6 (these were CST, by the way)...

Any floor traders or former floor traders out there? I'm a former ag floor trader, away from trading for about 5 years now. I'd be interested in talking with others with floor trading experience, and exchanging ideas on various ways we might turn our experience into concepts for trading off...

Thanks to all of you for taking time to answer my questions. I used to be a floor trader in the ags, but it's been about 5 years since I left. I'm interested in trying to take the experience of the floor, and trade away from the floor. I think the best thing to trade would have some...

Thanks Saxon, Just what is the ES? Any other proxies for the S & P you think are worthwhile? How about the E-mini, or any others? Thanks!

I've been away from trading for awhile, and am hoping some of you might be able to help me with a dumb question. There used to be a contract called "the knife," which I'm pretty sure was the NYFE Composite Index for the U.S. stock market. Many people, who didn't want to trade the S & P...
