Serum albumin, a protein measured by a common lab test, has a large inverse relation with mortality.

Why?

Thread👇

In very old people, albumin was a more important risk marker than traditional risk factors such as HDL, LDL, and HbA1c.

"serum albumin concentration is inversely related to mortality risk in a graded manner over its entire range"

in both healthy people and those with acute or chronic illness.

But, low albumin is NOT a consequence of normal aging.

So, what's going on?

While there are suggestions that low albumin is a sign of undetected illness...

albumin is also associated with loss of muscle mass.

"the increased risk of disability with low serum albumin concentrations observed in the elderly may actually reflect an association with sarcopenia."

Sarcopenia = pathological muscle loss

Old age is not a cause of low albumin, but is associated with muscle loss

and indicates malnutrition.
Low dietary protein leads to lower albumin synthesis.

Albumin Synthesis Is Diminished in Men Consuming a Predominantly Vegetarian Diet

Since albumin is itself a protein, this points to lower protein intake

Conclusion: low albumin is a strong risk factor for mortality.

It's associated with low muscle mass and low protein intake.

Increased dietary protein and resistance training may be the best ways to counteract low albumin.

I’ll address every nonsense argument and lie used to defend the suicidal gender ideology Thats in vogue today:

3:45 - “So what if you don’t have gametes?”

It’s called a birth defect. You’re still male or female.


~5:00 *nonsense trying to say the sexes of seahorses could be swapped coz male carry the eggs*

male doesn’t produce eggs, he produces the sperm. He’s still the male. If I impregnated a chick then carried the amniotic sac in a backpack ‘til the baby was done I’ll still be male🤦‍♂️

5:10 - we could say there’s 4 sexes of fruit fly cause there’s 3 producers of different sized sperm

No. They’re still producing sperm. They’re males. This is idiotic. Is this whole video like this? (Probably. 99% likely. Abandon hope.)

~6:10 - hermaphroditism and sequential hermaphroditism exists therefore....

No. Some animals being hermaphrodites, which is meaningless w/o the existence of binary sex to contrast it to, still doesn’t make gender ideology or transgenderism valid.

Intersex ≠ transgenderism 🙄

6:20 - bilateral gynandromorphism is a disorder in some species (not in humans). Has nothing to do w/ “gender” or transgenderism.

Ova-testes in humans are also a disorder, usually found in those w/ the karyotype disorders that you ppl also try to appropriate (extra X’s/Y’s).
