Disagreed about ecdysterone.
While yes, it is indeed found in arthropods, it is also found in spinach and quinoa because it's classified as a plant-steroid, as in, it's derived from plants themselves. So, bugs have ecdysterone because they eat plants that contain ecdysterone. And yes, humans can metabolize ecdysterone too.
It's a very critical estrogen receptor beta upregulator that has plethora of functions including anabolic, adaptogenic, hormonal homeostasis, and etc.
Don't just "trust the science" at face value like the twitter post above. That's lazy. Please include your own due diligence to come to your own conclusions.
You are still ignoring the argument that chitin, and these forms of ecdysterone promote cancers and parasites. Which is the only argument presented.
Sad.
So people should not eat spinach, quinoa and other plants that contain ecdysterone because it's lumped into bugs simply because bugs have them too?
What about ecdysterone's characteristic of being an estrogen receptor beta upregulator? That's huge as part of the cycle to metabolise estrogen, thereby helping to thwart breast cancer.
I had only made the disagreement about the ecdysterone, no mentions about chitin. Which is indeed the only argument presented as a way for an onlookers in this comment section to not be scared of ecdysterone.
There's always a complexity when it comes to bio-chemical research. It helps to understand the varying concepts that equate the big picture, not just a small snip-it of something at face value.
I personally don't believe people should consume too much high fiber high ecdysterone plants such as spinach or collards greens, as they are best foods for rabbits, and other creatures with low life spans.
Past that point, I agree with most everything else you have said in your current reply.
You will just do anything they tell you and straight up go to the ditch thinking it's a mistake
Lol, no dude. I'm just arguing that people shouldn't be afraid of ecdysterone because it's literally in spinach and quinoa. That's it.
If they tell me to go to a ditch, I'll question why. Is it a job function, am I part of an engineering team, are we building a bridge, what are the logistics, who are my subcontractors, is it necessary to even cross the ditch, what's the cost to risk benefits analyses model, what's the impact on the local economy, will it improve residential, commercial, or industrial usage, etc, etc.
This is the exact same sentiment I have in my prior replies, there's always a complexity to certain questions, and it really really helps to understand the varying smaller concepts to understand the big picture as a whole. That's real science, that's not authority figure fallacy based science depicted as a snip it memed at face value.
