In this episode we discuss:
- Why you might want to think twice about using resistant starch for blood sugar regulation and gut health
- Ways to increase or reduce the amount of resistant starch in the foods you eat
- How to tell if resistant starch is negatively impacting your gut health, and why non-resistant starch may also pose a problem
- The optimal calcium to phosphorus ratio according to the research
- The calcium paradox and why calcium intake doesn’t increase excitation or calcification
- The hidden dangers of excess phosphorus intake
