Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

😂 What wasn't funny:

Last Wednesday was a good day to:

• Give up red meat. Focus on seed oils for healthy fat.

• Stop resistance training. Cardio only.

• Get indoors. Stay safe from the sun.

• Scroll social media in bed to relax and fall asleep.

It was a bad April Fool's joke.

🤯 What your brain wants:

You're going to want to sit down for this.

Eating red meat might help avoid Alzheimers. (r)

In a new 15-year cohort study, researchers found that higher meat consumption was associated with better cognitive trajectories and a ~55% lower risk of dementia among those carrying the high-risk APOE4 genotype. (r)

At the highest levels of meat intake, the usual cognitive disadvantage seen in APOE4 carriers appear to disappear.

☕ What I ran out of:

I ran out of chocolate LMNT—the secret ingredient in my coffee.

This resulted in a ~50% reduction in coffee consumption.

Result: I've been sleeping longer. My normal 7-8 hours has been 8-8.5.

Alas, my next shipment of LMNT arrived. So now I am testing to see if returning to my previous baseline coffee consumption reverts this sleep pattern.

If you want to give up coffee, I recommend dropping the chocolate LMNT.

If you don't want to give up coffee, then I recommend trying chocolate LMNT, with the caveat, you may not want to drink coffee without it again.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

🤜 What it feels like to HODL:

Owning bitcoin in a nutshell.

🍫 Soy what:

Supermarket accidentally orders 38,000 bananas.

A massive tofu spill overwhelms a small town in Missouri.

A KitKat heist may cause an Easter shortage.

We’ve always encouraged people to have a break with KitKat — but it seems thieves have taken the message too literally and made a break with more than 12 metric tons of our chocolate.

As always, it's an honor getting to spend some time with you.

Hope you have a great weekend!
