Berlin, Germany (SPX) Sep 13, 2010
Since their discovery in 2008, a new class of superconductors has precipitated a flood of research the world over. Unlike the previously familiar copper ceramics (cuprates), the basic structure of this new class consists of iron compounds. Because the structure of these compounds differs from the cuprates in many fundamental ways, there is hope of gaining new insights into how the phenomenon of superconductivity arises.
In cooperation with an international research group, researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) have now discovered a magnetic signature that occurs universally among all iron-based superconductors, even if the parent compounds from which the superconductors are made possess different chemical properties.
Superconductors are generally produced by "doping" so-called parent compounds, which means introducing foreign atoms into them. There is a strong correlation between magnetism and superconductivity here - both being properties of solids.
Conventional superconductors, such as those used in MRI machines in hospitals, do not like magnetism because it disturbs the interactions that lead to superconductivity within the crystal.
It is quite a different story for the celebrated high-temperature superconductors, such as cuprates and iron-arsenic compounds. In these cases, the magnetic forces actually help, even promote the onset of superconductivity. These compounds feature magnetic orders which, if they occur in a crystalline structure, are a telltale sign that the material is suitable to be a high-temperature superconductor.
With the new iron-based superconductors, it turns out that the symmetry of a magnetic order corresponds exactly to the symmetry in the superconductivity signal.
Dimitri Argyriou (HZB) and his colleagues have produced iron-tellurium-selenium crystals and determined their chemical composition using X-ray and neutron diffraction. They measured the magnetic signals in the crystals by performing neutron scattering experiments on the research reactor BER II of HZB and on the research reactor of the Institute Laue-Langevin in Grenoble.
They discovered that the symmetry of the magnetic order is significantly different from that of other iron-based parent compounds, such as iron-arsenic compounds. Yet, surprisingly, this difference has no impact on the development of superconductivity as a property.
It has been detected that the magnetic signal caused by superconductivity - often referred to as the magnetic resonance - has the same symmetry as that of the magnetic order. And this is the same in all iron compounds, and apparently follows a universal mechanism that causes superconductivity for all of these materials.
Dimitri Argyriou describes this property as follows: "Going by what we know about the magnetic order of iron compounds, the iron-tellurium-selenium materials ought not to exhibit any superconductivity. But the opposite is the case: Despite the differences in magnetism, the signature of their superconductivity is the same.
If we were now to understand how superconductivity arises in light of different starting conditions, then we could perhaps develop materials that are superconductive at even higher temperatures."

José Andrés in Haiti
The smile of a child is a powerful thing. I see one in Fond Verettes. The people of this small town in the hills of Haiti are living in poverty, yet they have opened their homes to some 8,000 displaced earthquake survivors. I've come here from the U.S. on a humanitarian mission, but for now, I'm also taking refuge, escaping the rain by ducking inside a food vendor's plastic tent.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced December 13, 2012 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's measures to open conservation land to emergency haying and grazing during the 2012 drought freed up a record 2.8 million acres and provided as much as $200 million in forage for producers facing critical feed shortages. Vilsack made the announcement during the national drought forum in Washington, D.C. co-sponsored by numerous federal agencies, governors' associations and academic partners.
"The Obama Administration remains committed to doing everything it can to help farmers, ranchers, businesses, and local and county governments meet drought-related challenges," said Vilsack. "Now we know that the actions taken by USDA and other federal agencies at the height of the drought provided much-needed flexibility during a difficult time. We also know that drought recovery is a long-term proposition, and we will continue to partner with producers to see it through."

The Bang Bang Club is the title of a documentary film currently in production that examines South Africa during the last days of apartheid, and the impact that violence had on four photojournalists covering the conflict.
The movie is based on The Bang-Bang Club: Snapshots from a Hidden War (2000), a book documenting the lives of those four photogs: Ken Oosterbroek, Kevin Carter, Greg Marinovich and Joao Silva. The book was written by Marinovich and Silva, the two of that group who survived.
The New York Times photojournalism blog is running a series of photo/audio slideshows with the work and voices of those photographers. Today, Joao Silva retells the story of what was happening outside and within when he shot the photograph above -- a man being hacked to death by an angry mob.
Snip from series introduction:
Their bond was formed in the field, where injustice and death lurked. It was a camaraderie that came from the constant experience of mortal danger -- Mr. Oosterbroek was killed during a gun battle in April 1994. They also shared a mutual understanding of how important it was to document the tumultuous events unfolding in front of them as apartheid gave way and South Africans struggled to form a new government. It was a battle most brutally waged in townships populated mainly by poor blacks.Showcase: The Bang Bang Club (Part 1 of 2) (New York Times, Thanks, Reverse Cowgirl)
(...) Mr. Marinovich was fairly new to photojournalism in 1991 when he won a Pulitzer Prize for a series of photographs of supporters of South Africa's African National Congress burning alive a man they believed to be a Zulu spy. "I had been too scared to say anything to try to stop it," Mr. Marinovich said, "and so that really disturbed me about myself and who I thought I was at the moment."

Subject: Re: [htdig] Including Pull-Down Menu Pages
From: Douglas Kline (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Date: Fri Oct 20 2000 - 13:24:35 PDT
Thank you for your responses to my e-mails about security lapses of versions of
ht-Dig prior to v. 3.1.5, the issue of stability of a version, and using <LINK>
tags to enable ht-Dig to find Web pages referenced only through menu bars. I
have looked up these Web page references you mention and as I wrote earlier the
<LINK> tags enable the search engine to find the pages.
I think that the inability of the search engine to find pages referenced
through the menu bar and not by hyper-links is a significant disadvantage. Web
programmers who employ these menu bars may not know that they won't be
traversed by search engines and may not think about it and use <LINK> tags even
if they know. Whoever maintains the search engine may not know either. Even
if they know or find out eventually, actually installing <LINK> tags for all
pages referenced through menu bars and not through hyperlinks might be quite
difficult and even making sure that all Web programmers are aware of the need
for <LINK> tags for future use would be problematic.
Even if you are using the <LINK> tags, you could still be at a disadvantage.
You might put the tags for a menu file's links in any page which uses that menu
file but then you would have multiple copies of the <LINK> tags when only one
was necessary and, if the menu file changes or any of the links in it changes,
all files with the corresponding <LINK> tags have to change too. You could put
the <LINK> tags in just one file which calls the menu file but then if that
file changes and doesn't call the menu file or it's removed or the links by
which it is reached are removed, you would then have to put the <LINK> tags in
another file. If a page is reached by both a hyper-link and a menu bar and the
search engine finds it through the link and the link is later removed, then a
<LINK> tag will have to be added so that the search engine can still find it.
Ultimately all this is possible but keeping track of it and avoiding mistakes
will be much more difficult and the more Web pages and people involved, the
more difficult.
All this boils down to the fact that, in the case of these menu bars, Web pages
are reached by the search engine by a different means than that by which they
are reached by the user. That is the ultimate source of the problems I have
described. As these menu bars become more common, more pages will not be found
by search engines which their users expect to find them.
Nonetheless, we will be using the <LINK> tags for lack of an alternative.
The point you made in an earlier message about shopping carts and the
undesirability of indexing their contents suggests that a way of marking these
menus to be followed or not followed by search engines would be useful.

Woman threatens to "shoot everyone" in Burger King over cinnabon freshness
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
MOUNT PLEASANT, SC - Tuesday May 13 officers were called to the Burger King located in the Mount Pleasant Towne Centre for a disturbance involving a gun.
When officers arrived the victim's and witnesses told police that three black females entered the restaurant and ordered food. According to the report one of the females began arguing with an employee about her cinnabon not being fresh.
One of the suspects asked to speak to the manager and both parties continued to argue the three females then left the Burger King. Witnesses told police a few minutes later one of the suspects re-entered the restaurant with her hand inside her purse stating that she was going to "shoot everyone."
When employees threatened to call police the suspects left the area.
Police continue to investigate the incident. If you have any information about his crime contact CRIMESTOPPERS at 554-111 or 1-88-CRIME-SC.

Geoengineering: the latest test in public engagement
Geoengineering researchers were due to test the technology of Stratospheric Particle Injection for Climate Engineering (SPICE) in Norfolk this autumn. However, amid various challenges from the public and the media, the body overseeing the project - the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) - decided that further consultation with stakeholders is needed before going ahead.
Geoengineering will be a challenge for science dialogue over the coming years. It combines political and ethical issues which deal with many of the most controversial aspects of the climate change debate. Last year, Sciencewise-ERC supported a public dialogue on geoengineering in partnership with the Natural Environment Research Council. Considering this dialogue and subsequent events raises some interesting lessons and questions about the role of these dialogues in emerging areas of science and technology.
What range of engagement activities are needed?
Participants in the Sciencewise-ERC public dialogue gave cautious support for geoengineering, laying down caveats but suggesting that research in various areas should go ahead. The proposed SPICE test fitted within these parameters; indeed, the test did not in fact constitute geoengineering itself, but rather aimed to test the mechanics of spraying particles high in the atmosphere, using only water. However, this issue is a helpful reminder that despite the importance of national level public dialogues, they do not guarantee acceptance at a local level, or with stakeholders or the media. These different strands of engagement will continue to be necessary as geoengineering develops.
Is the EPSRC's decision to pause the experiment an example of good governance in action?
Hilary Sutcliffe has described the decision to delay the work as evidence of a failure in the project's governance. However, EPSRC explained that the decision was taken as part of its responsible innovation approach. The SPICE team was asked to reflect on the ethical implications of the project so far and at this 'stage gate' took the decision which, project organisers have stressed, was supported by the scientists involved. Therefore, is this an example of good governance of responsible innovation, with checks and balances ensuring decisions are reconsidered when necessary?
Is the decision an example of bowing to the loudest voices over the views of the public?
One blogger who is supportive of geoengineering sees the decision to pause the project as a response to the actions of 'loud, organised opposition to climate engineering'. This raises a tension between stakeholder and public engagement: have noisy anti-geoengineering campaigners essentially 'trumped' the results of a public engagement initiative that gave it cautious support? The border between stakeholder and public is not always a clear one. However, as Jack Stilgoe suggested in last months' interview, they do require a different approach. Future dialogue needs to find ways of adapting to this.
Continue the discussion on the Sciencewise Forum.

Chicago IL (SPX) Oct 11, 2010
Transgenic corn's suppression of the European corn borer has saved Midwest farmers billions of dollars in the past decade, reports a new study in Science.
Research conducted by several Midwest universities shows that suppression of this pest has saved $3.2 billion for corn growers in Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin over the past 14 years with more than $2.4 billion of this total benefiting non-Bt corn growers. Comparable estimates for Iowa and Nebraska are $3.6 billion in total, with $1.9 billion accruing for non-Bt corn growers.
Transgenic corn is engineered to express insecticidal proteins from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Bt corn has become widely adopted in U.S. agriculture since its commercialization in 1996. In 2009, Bt corn constituted 63 percent of the U.S. crop.
Corn borer moths can't distinguish between Bt and non-Bt corn, so females lay eggs in both types of fields. Once eggs hatch in Bt corn, young borer larvae feed and die within 24 to 48 hours.
The major benefit of planting Bt corn is reduced yield losses, and Bt acres received this benefit after the growers paid Bt corn technology fees. But as a result of areawide pest suppression, non-Bt acres also experienced yield savings without the cost of Bt technology fees, and thus received more than half of the benefits from growing Bt corn in the region.
"We've assumed for some time that economic benefits were accruing, even among producers who opted not to plant Bt hybrids," said co-author of the study Mike Gray, University of Illinois Extension entomologist and professor in the Department of Crop Sciences. "However, once quantified, the magnitude of this benefit was even more impressive."
Over the past several years, entomologists and corn producers have noticed very low densities of European corn borers in Illinois. In fact, Illinois densities have reached historic lows to the point where many are questioning its pest status, Gray said.
"Since the introduction of Bt corn, initially targeted primarily at the European corn borer, many entomologists and ecologists have wondered if population suppression over a large area would eventually occur," Gray said. "As this research shows, areawide suppression has occurred and dramatically reduced the estimated $1 billion in annual losses caused previously by the European corn borer."
This information also provides incentives for growers to plant non-Bt corn in addition to Bt corn.
"Sustained economic and environmental benefits of this technology will depend on continued stewardship by producers to maintain non-Bt maize refuges to minimize the risk of evolution of Bt resistance in crop pest species," Gray said.
This study titled, "Areawide Suppression of European Corn Borer with Bt Maize Reaps Savings to Non-Bt Maize Growers," will appear in the October 8 edition of Science.

Hello everyone my name is Caleb and I recently decided to quit gaming. I just have a few question for those of you who have been through the initial part of quitting. How long did it take until the urge to play constantly faded if at all? Does having other hobbies you enjoy as much as gaming help? Is anyone completely free of gaming and doesn't feel the urge to play and how long did it take you to get there? Thank you to anyone who can help answer these questions and have a fantastic day!

For me, the first 2 days off are the worst, especially when it is not on my own terms. After that, I realized I can do this on my own. I still have urges occasionally - I think last week I almost caved in. Fortunately I've been able to direct my energy into working out. It's pretty much this and school for me now. Once you replace gaming with a healthy hobby, you feel pretty much free from gaming. I've been off for 2 months now and last week was my first urge since I quit, and that was because I exposed myself to my "friends" who played the same game.
But yeah that's pretty much it for me now. I am happy to help if you need it!

Hey Caleb, a great book to get and read is Alcoholics Anonymous's "Living Sober." As a gaming addict, I found that book very helpful as a practical guide to staying sober in early recovery. One the things it recommends is a healthy hobby.
Personally, when I was done I was done. I hit a 12 step program, started working that program, and never looked back. I don't think I even noticed my gaming-related struggles in early sobriety because I was so glad to finally be done gaming. That said, 2 years in, I still get subtle urges and thoughts. There are certain things I simply don't do so I don't have to worry about them triggering an urge:
1. I don't read gaming news anymore
2. I don't watch other people game
3. I don't talk about games with people
4. I don't daydream or fantasize about games anymore (twice in the past 2 years my old DND game master mind kicked in and I was fantasizing about dragons or thinking about the game in other ways; but I saw those for what they were and gradually let them pass from my mind over the course of an hour)
5. If I feel like something somebody else is doing around me is potentially triggering for me, I move or leave.
The one BIG thing I didn't do when I quit this last time was throw everything away. Every time I did that in the past when trying to quit, I didn't make it very far. Instead, I said good bye to my guild mates, grieved the loss of my days as a gamer (because it is a loss, in its own sense), and slowly gave away or sold off all of my gaming accounts and DND miniatures instead of destructively and punishingly throwing them out. I also was throwing myself into another 12 step fellowship to work on my recovery (I hadn't found CGAA at that time).
Hopefully we see you around in meetings!

Having read Jack McClellan's blog I felt compelled to join him. I, however, do not wish to make my identity known.
From reading his blog, I am not surprised at the encounters he faces from day to day. Indeed, being a pedophile is a hard thing to live with. Like Jack, I too long for young girls. I have also, like Jack, never done anything illegal. I also never plan on violating the law regrading children.
Sex crimes are something that will haunt a person forever be it child molestation or rape. Just knowing the penalties and what sex offenders must go through is enough to keep me straight.
I can not keep the thoughts from clouding my mind though. I often find myself looking at clothing ads and drooling over the child models. So instead of hording Victoria's Secret I have Goody's and other such catalogs laying around the house.
This is a hard life and I see (almost on a daily basis) no one taking the time to understand Pedophilia. Things like To Catch a Predator, Perverted Justice and Law and Order annoy me to no end as they simply perpetuate a stereotype about pedophiles. I have never hurt a child and will never seek to be with one.
So, Jack McClellan, I join you but remain behind a cloud of anonymity.

The latest evidence that fans are not turned off when there's a work stoppage in pro sports: The NBA is finishing its lockout-shortened season with banner TV ratings.
ABC's games are averaging 3.3% of U.S. TV households, up 10% from last year. ESPN, despite a scrambled schedule that put NBA games in time slots where they hadn't previously aired, is averaging 1.3%. That's even with last year, when ESPN's NBA games got their best ratings since the network got NBA rights in 2002.
TNT's games are averaging 1.7%. That's up only slightly from last year, when NBA got strong ratings partly from the buzz about LeBron James joining the Miami Heat. But TNT is on track for its most-watched NBA games ever in part because of continuing interest in the Heat -- its four highest-rated games, outside Christmas Day, involved that team.
SPICE RACK: ESPN's Chris Berman thinks its "long overdue" that ESPN and NFL Network won't show shots of players hearing by phone that they're about to be drafted. And by the way, he doesn't worry about his online critics. ... Cable TV's NBC Sports Network, says spokesman Chris McCloskey, will announce Friday that its NFL Films-produced NFL Turning Point weekday show hosted by Dan Patrick has been renewed for two years and going forward will expand beyond the regular season to air past the Super Bowl. ... NBA TV's next The Association: Denver Nuggets (6:30 p.m. ET Wednesday) includes a wrenching subplot: George Karl, the team's cancer-surviving coach, still dealing with that experience as he worries about bad calls and timeouts.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
Zero carb is getting (relatively) popular. A handful of valued MDA forum members eat little-to-no-carb, and several others probably imagine it's ideal even if they don't personally follow it. I wanted to address this because there seems to be some confusion as to how a zero carb eating plan relates to the Primal Blueprint eating plan. To begin with: I think zero carb can be a viable option for some, but highly impractical for most. If one had access to and ate different animals, all range fed and without pollutants, and if one ate all offal (and stomach contents) it's possible to approach zero carb… but again highly impractical. If you really, really love meat and fat and offal, and get genuine enjoyment from eating nothing but meat and fat and offal, have at it. On the other hand, if you are looking for a wider variety – and gustatory enjoyment – of the foods you eat, zero carb may be unenjoyable, impractical, unnecessary, and at worst (if not done just right) downright dangerous.
Let's take a look at just a few of the reasons why vegetables are a part of The Primal Blueprint:
First, it's highly unlikely that early man would have consciously avoided edible, available vegetation. We already know that current hunter-gatherers take advantage of anything edible within reach – plant or animal. We are adaptive capitalists, ready and willing to exploit any situation to our advantage. Humans are survivors and they'll eat whatever is available. If you subscribe to the "out of Africa" model of human evolution – as do most anthropologists – the bulk of our evolution took place in the lush, fertile Africa grasslands where both game and vegetation were plentiful. Grok wasn't throwing together multicolored salads every day at noon, but the precedent for plant consumption is there. The opportunity certainly was.
People have ranged far and wide across the globe, living in a variety of environments and ecosystems, each with different sources of food. Looking at the fossil records, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact Paleolithic diet (whatever that means), seeing as how vegetable matter degrades and bone endures. But it's safe to say that meat and fat have always been preferred by man, and our ancestors' adoption of a meat and fat-heavy diet necessitated and prompted (in the cycle of positive feedback between culture and physiology that so often describes evolution) the smaller guts and bigger brains we enjoy today. Many like to take this point combined with examples of people surviving on animals alone as proof that vegetables should be restricted or avoided entirely. As I see it, when a carnivorous-predominant group does arise, like the Inuit, it is only out of necessity. They are an exception to the rule. The Inuit survived in a barren, arid environment by eating whatever was available: marine animals, fat, blubber, organs, and fish. It wasn't by choice. They weren't turning their noses up at bushels of berries and teeming fields of wild cabbage; the opportunity simply wasn't there. In every other case, humans will eat both plants and animals if they are given the chance, and plant matter is mostly available all over the world, depending on the season.
The Inuit do, though, show us that an-all meat, zero carb diet has the potential to be healthy. It might even be desirable for certain people if (here comes the tricky part), as I said, they use organic range-fed whole animals – muscle meat, fat, organs, offal, stomach contents – to get the whole spectrum of fat-soluble nutrients and vitamins. All those thriving near-carnivorous traditional groups the zero carb crowd likes to throw around weren't buying tubes of 80/20 Walmart beef and nothing else; they were eating spoiled organs, consuming stomach contents, fermenting full-fat dairy, drinking fish liver shooters, gnawing on still-beating bison heart, and feasting on a "guts and grease" diet. Stefansson's oft-cited all-meat diet experiment wasn't just muscle and fat; it was fried liver and brains, fish, and a whole host of animal products. As for the ground beef and water diets that seem popular in some ZC circles? You're fooling yourself if you think that's an optimum diet for health and longevity, and I'm not sure if some favorable lab numbers garnered after six months of eating nothing but burger mean much at all. Better than the standard American diet of chips, sodas, cookies, and rancid fats on top of the same burger meat? Maybe. Optimum? Not a chance. Let's see what happens in thirty years. Staunch ZCer Danny Roddy's strangely scurvy-esque symptoms following a purely pemmican diet should give you pause.
That sort of fear of macronutrients is silly and potentially dangerous. Avoiding grass-fed beef liver because it contains a few grams of carbohydrates is crazy (or did you conveniently forget that crucial aspect of the Inuit and Plains Native diets – organ meats?). Eschewing pastured eggs and all their yolky goodness because of a fraction of a gram of carbohydrates? Madness. Now, avoiding all carbs because you feel better without them? I can get behind that. Trying to maximize fat loss by going zero carb for short periods of time? Worth trying. Trying to prove your glucose-freebasing marathoner friends wrong by beating them on a ultra-low carb diet? I love a good self-experiment; do it! A complete zero carb diet is possible to get right, albeit a bit impractical and unwieldy for most people (if you think sourcing grass-fed beef is tough, trying finding a steady supply of pastured thyroid glands, kidneys, livers, brains, tripe, and heart!), but so is an omnivorous one. Which would you prefer? Which would enhance your quality of life? As long as you're avoiding grains, legumes, sugar, and industrial vegetable oils, these are the important questions to dwell on.
But what of vegetables? Is there anything inherent to be feared? Most plants are, at the worst, harmless. Others, like the seeds of wheat and barley and legumes, really don't want to be eaten and can cause problems. These guys employ various anti-nutrients, chemical defenses like lectins and gluten to prevent and dissuade consumption. Certain animal and insect species have developed tolerances, but we generally have not. It is necessary for proper health that we humans "deprive" ourselves of these foods. I get that. And people sensitive to nightshades should avoid them, just as the lactose intolerant should probably avoid even raw dairy, and people with a severe shellfish allergy should avoid shrimp. This is basic stuff. But to posit that humans are somehow wholly intolerant of all vegetables and fruits is nonsense. Leafy greens like spinach and kale, carrots, asparagus, broccoli, squash, even the occasional sweet potato – some people would have you believe these are poison. Unnecessary? Perhaps. Dangerous? No, and especially when eaten with plenty of fat, vegetables are excellent vehicles for delivering beneficial nutrients, vitamins, and minerals to the people consuming them (read a few of our Smart Fuel posts on vegetables for more info on this point). Leafy greens, for example, are great sources of magnesium and calcium. Sardines and mackerel are good sources, too, but do they negate the utility (or deliciousness) of a plate of kale, sauteed in garlic butter and topped with lemon juice? This, to me, isn't a point not to be taken lightly.
There's more to this picture. As long as you're going to be cooking your meat there are good reasons to eat your steak with a side of veggies. A researcher named Joseph Kanner has spent a career looking at how the potential nastiness of cooked meats – oxidized fats, for instance – are neutralized in the "bioreactor" of the stomach with the inclusion of antioxidants from vegetables, red wine, and tea. Does this mean vegetables are required for safe consumption of cooked meat? Probably not, but unless you're eating all your meat and offal raw, ultra-slow-cooked, or super rare, you may want to include a small salad, a bit of broccoli, or a glass of wine with that ribeye. Plant-based antioxidants (flavonoids, carotenoids, and other phytonutrients) in general provide a good line of defense against stress, inflammation, and the ravages of aging in the context of the former two conditions. A perfect zero carber who closely watches meat sources, gets plenty of sleep, good Primal exercise, and leads a low-stress existence is probably fine without piles of vegetables, but the average person who stumbles upon the PB and needs to drop a few dozen pounds, kick a few prescription meds, and maintain on inconsistent sleep? A Big Ass Salad (BAS) for lunch and some berries for breakfast (along with near carnivorous eating otherwise) will go a long way toward healing them – and they'd definitely be a huge improvement over what they were previously eating.
And this gets me to my final main point on the importance of plants. The Primal Blueprint eating plan supports vegetation in large part because it's meant to be a sustainable regimen – for life. Our supportive stance on vegetation is meant to include, rather than preclude. I'm trying to positively modify as many individual eating habits as I can in my short time on this planet. My work is my work, but I'm passionate about it, and I don't want to be a starving diet guru with an incredibly loyal but miniscule cadre of die-hard followers. I want to affect people on a huge scale. I refuse to water my message down ("drink diet sodas and avoid saturated fat"), but if including lots of vegetables attracts more people without detracting from the nutritional merits of the lifestyle, I'm going to keep doing it. I'm talking about the people who need our help the most. They are our parents, our friends, our neighbors, and they stand to gain the most from adopting a Primal eating plan. Excluding vegetables right off the bat would only turn people away and relegate us to "fad diet" status immediately. It's already an uphill battle, folks, and we don't need any more roadblocks. Please, though, don't read this as some sort of vague admission that vegetables aren't a critical part of a healthy eating plan. I only mean to note this added importance that veggies bring to the PB.
Before I wrap this up, let me speak specifically to how this relates to the official Primal Blueprint Food Pyramid – which is founded on vegetables, and to a lesser extent, fruits. Vegetation gets prime seating at the base as it makes up the bulk of an average PB meal, with meat and other animal products following up immediately after. When you take a look at the average Primal eater's caloric daily breakdown though, fat and meat take the lion's share. And when we publish a PB recipe, more often than not it features animal flesh proudly and prominently. Vegetation represents the foundation of the pyramid graphic but not the bulk of the caloric reality, which might seem designed to mislead.
It's not, though. For one thing, the sheer volume of raw vegetation is immense. Three cups of raw spinach quickly become less than a cup's worth when exposed to butter and a heated surface. A few cups of buttered broccoli might displace enough three-dimensional space to fill a plate, but it won't fill you up; the ten ounces of steak to the left will take care of that. In that sense, vegetation can and often does form the foundation of a Primal eating strategy, calories notwithstanding, but it's not a ton of calories derived from plants. That would take kilos of greens and pounds of carrots, and we aren't lowland gorillas with immense fermentation chambers in our protruding guts. To really get a sense of how many or how few vegetables and fruits the PB prescribes, though, look to the Carbohydrate Curve: it's totally open-ended. At the height, it's 150 g/day of carbs, from vegetables and fruits and natural starches. Athletes can even extend that and go a bit higher, depending on activity level and glycogen needs. It goes as low as zero carb, which I characterize as an "excellent catalyst for rapid weight loss." You'll also note that while I don't recommend it for prolonged periods, it's not because I fear ketosis, or that excluding plant foods will kill you; it's because I can't support the "unnecessary deprivation of plant foods."
In the end, the PB comes down to maximizing quality of life. I want to enjoy every bite of every meal. I want to stay out of the rest home, avoid hospital stays, and stay active into my twilight years. Hell, I want my twilight years to be inundated with beams of radiant light. I don't want my life to be a heavily regimented procession of pills and white coats. I want to have my sensible vices, like wine or dark chocolate. I want to eat vegetables because I enjoy them – not because I'm under the assumption that they're magic. I have the means and the wherewithal to eat a complete, totally ideal carnivorous diet, but I prefer variety. I like my steak and my eggs (a gram of carbs doesn't scare me) and my asparagus.
Let me know what you think PBers, ZCers and everyone else. Thank for reading!

194 Comments on "What About a Zero Carb Diet?"
I am with you Mark…I couldn't see giving up my pure love of fruits and vegetables. Zero Carb seems pretty radical but if it works for someone…give 'er hell!
I am so happy to see this post. There is a bit of an extremist attitude permeating the forums lately. The all meat diet, don't eat fruit crowd are giving unhealthy advise. Thanks Mark, once again the voice of reason. I personally couldn't go a single day without a big salad and other veggies.
A worthwhile and astute comment. I also wonder if the selective breeding of animals has affected their 'nutrient content'.
you don't need fruit but not sure about veggies
I have just started eating more veggies, I was very heavy on the protein/fat. I finally figured out the trick to salads, because I don't like cutting up all the stuff each time. I was lazy. So now I cut up a bunch of stuff before hand and eat it through the days it stays fresh.
It always confused me when people were really down on some fruits, but I guess they were trying to lose weight. Me? I'm trying to maintain/gain muscle mass, so I need those fruits and sweet potatoes.
Have a look at ketogains… if you're trying to gain muscle, you want to eat protein not fruit. Protein grows protein…
I was just thinking about this very subject last night while eating my rib eye and enjoying my roasted Brussels sprouts/onions/garlic/bacon side dish. Life without veggies would be too boring. One of these days, when I'm done losing weight, I'll be able to add in a little fruit. Until then, the veggies keep me sane.
Maybe I'm biased because I am from Belgium and live near Brussels, but that's the way to way to eat the sprouts!! ;-D And if you tolerate some dairy, you could add some cream…
Cream sounds divine! I'll try that next time. I had some lemon juice on mine, and that was good, too.
Got me out of lurkdom – what an excellent and informative post 🙂
I especially appreciate the explanation re: vegetables making up the 'bulk' of the pyramid, but not necessarily the caloric breakdown. I noticed the same thing when I transitioned from Atkins to Protein Power Life Plan to more of a Paleo-style eating plan. Sure, I eat lots of vegetables, but they don't take up a lot of room in terms of the overall macronutrient ratio. And besides, the "BAS" at lunch worked wonders for me.
Thanks again!
just throwing this out there but if you're getting week or dizzy throwing in IF might do more to slow your progress towards weightloss than help, you might be affecting stress hormones negatively which will work against you in terms of getting your body to let go of extra 'stored energy' i.e. insulin response to the reintroduction of cho in form of fruit/veggs.
Great post Mark! If not for the vegetables and the variety they add, I don't think I could have done the Primal diet. And they are so darn tasty. BAS is one of my favorite meals.
Priscilla,you are such a natural! The caemra loves you and love your cute accent (hey, I have one too )!The pink icing is genius, well done!
Please read the post from Don http://donmatesz.blogspot.com/2010/01/masai-use-of-herbs.html
You will find that the Masai do use a lot of herbs. They say that they wouldn't be healthy if they didn't do so. They ate it because they needed it even though they may not have like them.
Inuits had no option either way.
The Inuit go under the ice during low tide to gather sea vegetables and mussels. They also seasonally consume pine tips, bearberries and tundra fruits and greens. While their diet is mostly fat, blubber and meat from whale, walrus, seal and fish, including shellfish, they do have some sources of vegetable-based caloric consumption.
I had to kind of laugh at this – have you been to the Maasai Mara? There's little – very little – that's not meat that's fit for humans to eat.
Blogger Stargazey at lowcarb4you.blogspot.com explains why very low-carb or zero carbs might actually be harmful for some people in her post "Observations on Protein Intake in Low-Carbers."
I tried near-carnivore for a while, and although I felt fine I did get bored.
However, going overboard on the roast veggies one evening reminded me that there is a balance to be had!
Food is to be enjoyed!
Here are a couple of links from Stargazey's blog:
My current perspective is that fruits and vegetables played the same role for our ancestors as most supplements do today: providing us with many of the vitamins and minerals essential for optimum health. I'd really like to learn more of the theory and rationalization behind this to explain how we can thrive without such important micronutrients such as calcium. One of the best posts I've read here. It really challenged my paradigm.
Well try reading this post: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-1349960/5-day-fruit-vegetables-myth-claims-nutrition-expert.html
Calcium, for one, can be gotten from a good bone broth, if you can't handle milk, or sardines. In fact in the article she states plants are only providing us with two vitamins and minerals that we can't get from animal sources: Vitamin C and Potassium.
I found it an eye opening article, but I'm still going to eat veggies, I'm just not worrying about getting enough anymore since I prefer meat 🙂
The brain and adrenal glands of animals are actually very good sources of vitamin C, so if one decides to go 'No Carb' then it's a good idea to eat a wide variety of offal. Also, red meat and fish are good sources of potassium, but the potassium will leach out into one's cooking medium. Therefore in order to get all the potassium contained in meat, which is sufficient for getting one's RDA, one should always consume the leftover broth or fat from cooking.
So in reality, one doesn't need plants at all. 😉
Your requirement for Vitamin C lowers once you stop eating vegetables.
Personally, I operate very well on very low carb, but I do love my fruits and veggies. If I have them in the house, I'll eat them, but if I don't have any I don't worry myself over it. Even when I was a kid I would have rather eaten only meat, but was always told "you can't do that." It's nice to know that if I want to eat only meat and eggs, I can, and it won't kill me. 🙂
That's funny – as a kid I loved the veggies (and especially the potatoes) but was never that keen on meat. I turned vegetarian at 16 and remained so for five years (until I found myself drooling over cold roast beef in the supermarket).
I like meat well enough now, but really only if it's well seasoned or otherwise flavoured in some way. I'll happily eat a bowl full of what is effectively bolognese sauce but give me a steak on its own and I'll be bored and unsatisfied.
I'm still wondering why I now have had 5 gallstone attacks in the night. Is it from eating too many fatty proteins?
Now I'm worried I might have to really change my diet! I have read I need to cut out eggs, coffee, meats with fat, etc.
Do I need to become a vegetarian?
Barbara, Your liver is under severe stress. The proteins and fat are seemingly aggravating and already existing condition, however that does not mean that you need to cut them out.
You may need to limit your amount of fat until you are able to control the liver/ gallbladder issues and STAT!
Try a gallbladder cleanse, under a doctor's supervision, it needs help.
See Dr. Carlson's thorough response to a query about low carb/high fat diets and gall stones/pancreatitis:
When you don't eat a lot of fat, the bile in your gallbladder gets goopy because it has nothing to do. Then, when you suddenly start eating fat, it starts working but it has all that goopy bile, which causes trouble for some people. You have to start on the fat slowly.
The Eskimos/Inuits may have been healthy, but they were also short-lived.
ZC forerunner 'The Bear' had a heart-attack, which he tried to blame on the 'poisonous brocolli' he was fed as a child – hard to take him seriously after that. I'm LC at about 250 PER WEEK in the winter, 300 in the summer which suits me perfectly. I have tried to do Kwasnieski-style 80% fat diets and it was a total bust – I've seen similar reports time and time again.

Trish wrote: "Actually the Bear got cancer…"
Actually, the Bear developed BOTH cancer AND a heart attack, and he did attribute the heart attack on the broccoli his mother forced on him in his childhood, despite many years of veggie avoidance afterwards. Talk about confirmation bias! It was reported in his obit
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/15/us/15stanley.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 and elsewhere.
The Eskimos/Inuits may have been healthy, but they were also short-lived.
I have heard that in a few places. Do you know where I can find the hard data to confirm it?
Actually the data on them being short lived was after they had started adopting the Western diet and lifestyles. The current life span is 67 years, but is based upon a western diet, poverty, alcoholism and glue sniffing as widespread problems and limited access to health care. There is no direct lifespan data with the traditional diet but in the 1830s 25% of the population was over 60. And there had been significant contact at that time.
Good point. They became short lived after adapting "civilized" foods. I am not sure about eskimos, but our Yakuts (an north- Asian population in Siberia) who used to have very similar very low carb intake were reported to have an average life-span of 130. Even ages like 150 were not uncommon there. Same with traditional Mongols who only eat meat (all parts) and milk and are true zero carbers.
I personally don't like vegetables at all, I just eat them because they are supposed to be healthy.
I always tend to be suspicious of people who say they don't like vegetables… my suspicion is that they've never had vegetables that are properly cooked and seasoned. Overcooked veggies are horrid and don't need to be on ANYone's plate… same with under-seasoned/under-fatted (adding butter, EVOO, bacon, whatnot…)
I wish someone could explain to me how it's possible to hate properly cooked, properly seasoned veggies. I just don't believe it!
Nah, it's true. I've had veggies cooked every way you can imagine and I'm not a fan. Never have been. I mean, I like some of them ok, but I don't really ever crave them. I'd just as well not eat them, but I do.
It's like when I eat a really tasty veggie, I think "hey, this is great! for ________ (insert vegetable name here).
Fruit is another matter.
I agree, I hate the taste of veges! I have had to eat them for years now.. trying to heal an autoimmune disorder. I have buttered them, seasoned them, roasted them, boiled them.. I never LIKE them or crave them, but force them.
Sugar addicts or newbies generally won't like veggies in my experience. An acquired taste for many recovering SAD people. Not saying these commenters are, just saying…. 😉
Not a newbie or a sugar addict. Just don't really like veggies. Not that I thought you were talking about me, mind you 😉
The inuit drank alcohol year-round? Where does this notion come from? Thanks.
Alcohol was introduced into Inuit societies by western settlers…I don't think they have any traditional form of alcohol production. They have the same allergy induced problems with alcohol dependency these days as the more southern Native American people.
Exactly! They can't metabolize it, which has been a tragic disaster for them and, as you say, the more southern peoples.
He reported they made their own raw spirits. The ability to make alcohol is as old as man himself. I'm sure it was a type of ice wine/spirit since water freezes at a higher temp than alcohol. Very easy to do.
I can't recall ever reading anything to that effect in Vilhjalmur Stefansson's works, and I've been going through searchable indexes trying to match likely terms and still haven't come up with anything. If you provide a reference that would be awesome.
I don't remember exactly. It might be My Life With The Eskimo. It was about six years ago when I was hanging out with my then fiance in Maine and she had the book lying on her couch. I do vaguely recall also seeing the reference on the internet.
Not all that hard to imagine: http://bit.ly/cJllyo
The zero carb diet isn't paleo or primal. Even though the Masai and the Innuit eat a lot of animal products, they don't follow a zero carb diet. Besides, they are just two among thousands of hunter-gatherer tribes that have been studied. Other tribes eat plenty of plants, such as the ?Kung and the Kitavans. If you want to eat like your ancestors, you must eat animals and plants.
THANK YOU so much for this article, Mark. I don't advoce zero carb at all, not even very low carb – especially for those who weight train.
I think some of the Indian groups did eat the stomach contents, "guts and grease"
My brother in law lived on Victoria Island for a few years – yes, they eat the stomach contents of caribou, and caribou eat lichen. Basically, pre-digested veggies. He couldn't bring himself to eat that, or the buried fermented fish heads (even though his background is Finnish!), but he tried everything else.
I agree 100% Mark.
I big fat steak with plenty of veggies draped in butter sounds good to me.
Apparently, the Ache hunter-gatherers of Paraguay get about 10% of their calories from honey. Honey tastes good and it is most of the Aches' favorite food.(They eat a boatload of meat too.) African hunter-gatherers eat honey as well.
I don't advise eating honey, or other sugar, but I am pretty sure it was part of the actual paleolithic diet.
Since going lacto-primal, I've really begun to enjoy the flavor of vegetables. My favorite combos are meat with salad or meat with onions and peppers. I've always liked the style of Vietnamese cooking which serves deliciously flavored meats with lettuce in which to wrap it. Very primal!
Great sensible posting.
Hey, anyone else hoping Mark does a followup posting sometime about the advantages and disadvantages of consuming "stomach contents"?
EEEWWW. Those scurvy pictures are gross. Goin' to eat my BAS with bell peppers now.
It is thought that the races split several hundred thousand years ago. This would mean that for a good portion of the human race, those living in the northern climates, vegetation was not even present for 4 – 6 months of the year.
Zero Carb is NOT primal… whoever thinks it is needs to take anthropology 101, what do you think Grok didn't eat a fig, an apple, or any fruit? Even on days he was out of MetRx 😉
I'll quibble on a point: wild apples are disgusting. Unfit for human consumption. I know they didn't eat ancient apples.
I love the wide range in recommended carbohydrate intake of the PB. There is too much contextual variability in each individual's life (and in paleo food availability) to advise low or narrow range of carb intake. I definitely fall in the >150g a day range. I have been on Rippetoe's SS routine for six months and am approaching intermediate programming. I am an energy consuming and expending machine. There is no way I could maintain progress and growth without tons of food including energy rich carbs.
This is a very hard diet to achieve! Carbohydrates are what the body needs to sustain energy. I don't think I can handle this kind of diet.
Fundamentally not true. If anything, once you are keto adapted, your energy levels go up. It is a myth you need carbs. Your liver makes all the carbs that your body needs.
Nice post. I think this diet is pretty hard to achieve too but if you get the benefits of it then it'll be well worth it. There's so many diets out there, it's insane! Just listen to your body.
I tend to roll with 50-70 grams of CHO a day during the winter months and i tend to consume 90% of it PWO meal. All veggies, no fruit. I will start back on some limited fruit when it comes into season around here.
An awesome post! Many congrats Mark. Possibly the best primal/paleo post ever. Incredibly sensible and comprehensive. Anyone interested in the topic should start by reading it.
Best regards,
Regarding the Inuit eating the stomach contents of animals, this paper (Vitamin C in the Inuit diet: past and present)has a statement by an elderly Inuit woman who calls the stomach contents of caribou and hare "salad" and reports that hare stomach was a favorite of Inuit children.
Thanks once again Mark for being the Voice of Reason.
I heard from several people once they start eating Primal they "feel" Soooo Good that's the only way they choose to eat for "life"! It just makes sense!!!
Vegetables are awesome. Just avoid wheat and sugar. I do disagree that very low carb is difficult to healthily employ, at least for me. Before I got into cooking and using more vegetables for variety I lived on a pastured beef (just ground beef and steak cuts), pastured eggs, and raw pastured milk/butter/cheese. My only source of carbs was maybe 50 grams of lactose a day. I did this for years and my numbers were great and I felt awesome.
Wow, no opposing views yet? That's unusual.
I believe all of Mark's concerns have been adequately addressed. However, everyone needs to find out for themselves what their own carbohydrate tolerance level may be. Assuming your metabolism isn't too damaged, you can probably settle for simply avoiding the "neolithic agents of disease" a la Dr. Kurt Harris.
There is no question that you can thrive on an all meat diet. The Masai however were neither all meat or low carb by anyone's definition. My problem is when people suggest it (all meat) is the only way to thrive, ignoring abundant evidence to the contrary.
I also have a problem with the body cavity argument. Yes the Eskimos gave away all the organs of the body, but they did eat all the organs in the head. That is not up for dispute. Stefansson clearly recorded that in his work.
Exactly 🙂 They also usually ate the kidneys. And then there are cultures who do almost the exact opposite – throwing the muscle meat to the dogs and eating all the body cavity organs, so who knows what's best?
I just eat what's available, what tastes good, and what makes me feel best, physiologically and psychologically. Works pretty bloody well for me 😀
Also, all foods upon digestion report to the kidneys as either acid or alkali (base). The typical American diet is net acid producing. Fruits and veggies reverses this metabolic acidosis.

Police have arrested 18 alleged associates of New York's Luchese organised crime family on racketeering charges, law enforcement authorities said on Thursday.
The wave of arrests overnight, with a 19th man still on the run, marked the authorities' latest blow against New York's historic five Italian mafia families.
"Today's arrests mark another important step in our continued efforts to shut down La Cosa Nostra in New York City once and for all," said federal prosecutor Preet Bharara in a statement.
"Operation Crooked House" was a two-year investigation by prosecutors and state and city police into alleged illegal gambling and bookmaking, loansharking, extortion, and attempts to corrupt the police.
The defendants face multiple charges punishable by between five and 20 years in prison.
As a result of government efforts to infiltrate the mafia and break the "omerta", or code of silence, the defendants went to considerable lengths to protect themselves, prosecutors said.
In addition to bribing a New York Police Department officer and a detective - both of whom were actually working undercover - they used coded language and met in places with loud background noise to foil hidden microphones, prosecutors said.
"These defendants not only allegedly operated a highly organised criminal enterprise, but actually attempted to infiltrate and corrupt the NYPD to protect themselves and their profits," said New York state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

Personally, I don't think so. I think on something so large and important that it honestly should have been thought over better.
