[ExI] Re Atten: For any extropy libertarians

[Max More]

Depends partly on what you select at McD's. It's not necessarily worse than
other fast food places, but tends to be demonized. The fat isn't
necessarily a problem but, unfortunately, they cook not in a good saturated
fat like coconut oil, but probably in something awful like canola oil or
some other seed oil.

As spike says, it's also a matter of frequency. The occasional McD's, even
the less healthy choices, aren't going to kill you.

All this must be customized according to your specific biochemistry. We
still know extremely little, but it seems that the 20% of the population
with the allele for ApoE4 should keep their fat intake relatively low. You
can find out whether you have that allele for $99 through 23andMe. If you
do, you're also at higher risk of Alzheimers. If you have two copies, you
10 to 30 times the risk of developing Alzheimers.
