My Ancestors' Stories
Tobacco string in the tobacco barn? vicinity of Barranquitas? Puerto Rico (LOC)
The Lamm family came from England, not Germany. Originally Lamb. I traced ancestors back to the 1690s when they arrived in North Carolina - I believe in Elizabeth City. The first arrivals were shipbuilders, as was my late father. Most now reside or trace their family to Wilson County (tobacco country).

The Glycemic Factor
As noted, the triggering of your mTOR to increase muscle mass requires healthy insulin and glucose homeostasis. Any impairment in the regulation of blood glucose and insulin activity could inactivate your mTOR and jeopardize your muscle protein synthesis.
Studies have reported that dietary protein has beneficial stabilizing effect on insulin levels when entering the circulation from ingested food. In other words, protein food benefits your body's glycemic control. And furthermore, protein serves as a perfect fuel during times of fasting and intense physical hardship.

Sugar and Fructose
Amplify’d from www.lewrockwell.com
f I were to
recommend just ONE dietary step that could have a most dramatic
impact on your health, it would be to eliminate soda from your diet,
and this one step could put you well on your way to lowering your
fructose intake to a more ideal range.
However, sugar
is addictive – even more
addictive than cocaine! Research has even shown that the mere
taste of sweet causes addictive behavior, so this is a
fact that many people must address.
