Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.06.28.544680v1?rss=1 Authors: Vandepas, L. E., Crim, R. N., Gilbertson, E., Yonemitsu, M. A., Unsell, E., Metzger, M. J., Lacy-Hulbert, A., Goetz, F. W. Abstract: Disseminated neoplasia (DN) is a form of cancer in bivalve molluscs that has been reported in some cases to be a transmissible cancer. Neoplastic cells are highly proliferative, and infection is often lethal. Some commercially valuable bivalve species (mussels, cockles, soft-shell clams, oysters) are affected by outbreaks of disseminated neoplasia, making disease diagnosis and mitigation an important issue in aquaculture and ecological restoration efforts. Here we describe a minimally invasive, non-lethal method for high-throughput screening for disseminated neoplasia in basket cockles (Clinocardium nuttallii). Basket cockles are native to the North American Pacific coast from California to Alaska. There is recent concern from some Coast Salish Tribes regarding an observed long-term decline in cockle populations in Puget Sound, WA. This has led to increased interest in monitoring efforts and research to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of observed basket cockle population dynamics, including assessing prevalence of disease, such as disseminated neoplasia. The rapid, non-lethal hemolymph smear screening method presented here to diagnose DN in adult C. nuttallii can be applied at field sites at low financial cost, and in a validation study of 29 animals the results were identical to that of the gold standard method, tissue histology. Due to the similar morphology of DN in different bivalves, this method can likely be generally applied for use in any bivalve species. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New cause area: bivalve aquaculture, published by Brian Lui on June 12, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Bivalve aquaculture improves animal welfare as a substitute for meat, fish, and other marine food. Possibly improves economic welfare in developing countries. Can be financially risky. There is a huge opportunity to scale. Improves water quality and reduces climate change because they are a carbon sink. Second-order effects are likely to be beneficial. Bivalve aquaculture means farming oysters, mussels, scallops, and other edible molluscs. Bivalve aquaculture has multiple moderate benefits as summarized above. This means that it tends to fall between the cracks when EAs evaluate its effectiveness, because we often focus on maximizing a particular goal. Indeed, searching for “aquaculture” (not even bivalve aquaculture) returned very few “hits” on this forum. This is an initial look into this cause area; approximately 10 hours was spent mainly on looking at sources. Note: I may submit this to the Cause Exploration Prizes contest. Animal welfare Bivalves taste good (should be self-evident), and are healthy: “oysters, mussels, scallops, and clams are good for you. They're loaded with protein, healthy fats, and minerals like iron and manganese.” Eating bivalves causes less suffering than an equivalent amount of chickens, pigs, cows, and most other animals. Depending on what it substitutes for, it would also reduce crop farming and associated rodent/insect deaths, which are more sentient than bivalves. Non-EAs are receptive to a proposal to substitute bivalves for other meat. They are not receptive to proposals to go vegetarian/vegan. Bivalves are also healthier than plant-based meat. Therefore, bivalves are the most effective way to reduce overall animal suffering. Developing countries Note: Epistemic confidence is low, and requires more research. But it's quite likely that bivalve aquaculture can have an enduring positive impact on developing countries. This report claims widespread benefits in Vietnam, for example: “There exists an opportunity to rapidly advance and sophisticate oyster aquaculture in Vietnam by exploring the full economic potential that has environmental, social, and sustainability benefits.” Even if distribution isn't developed enough for export, bivalve aquaculture can still provide highly nutritious food locally, as protein is generally rarer. Financially risky Note: Epistemic confidence is low, because these are comments on a preliminary request for feedback - more research needed. Bivalve aquaculture has tail risk, e.g.: “There are a ton of tail risks that can go wrong and wipe you out. Big one is disease, and the bigger the scale the harder that problem is. A lot of unknown unknowns.” “Intensive aquaculture is tricky, diseases and anoxic conditions can wipe out entire crops.” Counterintuitively, this is great for its attractiveness as a funding cause. It means that risk capital is valuable, and also means that the optimal risk-neutral level of bivalve aquaculture should be higher than it is now. It also means that we can be creative in how we approach spending money. For example, paying for insurance policies might be more impactful than investing directly. Lots of room to scale “Across the world there is an estimated 1.5 million sq km (579,000 sq miles) of coastline suitable for growing bivalve shellfish. According to Willer, developing just 1% of this could produce enough bivalves to fulfil the protein requirements of more than one billion people.” It's possible that a lot of this coastline is located in areas with bad governance. And not all of these places would be accessible or economically viable. But this is a tractable problem (scaling/new technologies) and shows that room to scale is unlikely to be the bottleneck. Note: mo...

The export of bivalve molluscs from Class B waters to the EU for human consumption came to a halt as of the 1st January. It’s had a devastating impact on mollusc farming businesses. DEFRA said they had had assurances from the EU that the trade WOULD still be able to go ahead after Brexit, and that the EU has changed the rules. Now, we get a response from the European Commission. A field lab being run by Innovative Farmers - a not-for-profit group which links up farmers and researchers - is looking at whether introducing trees into fields used for grazing, increases soil carbon. Those involved hope the data will be used by policy makers to decide how much farmers should be paid for adding trees to fields under a system of ‘public money for public goods’. We visit one of the farms involved. And Labour are reviewing all their rural policies in England, saying they want to be the Party of the Countryside. They vow more support for rural transport, health services, and community hubs. They're also scrutinising the Government’s current plans to phase out area-based Direct Payments for farmers and introduce Environmental Land Management Scheme or ELMs. Anna Hill speaks to Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Luke Pollard.

Sophia and Lily jump right in and talk about their inner nerds and how easy it is to fall “down the rabbit hole” when digging in to juicy nutrition research.   First order of business is Folate vs. Folic acid. What’s the difference and what’s the big deal? Well first off, folic acid is synthetic folate. If you’re a nerd like us, you may know that folate comes in many forms in food. Folic acid never comes in food and it can actually block 40-60% of the population from using folic acid! Not only that, it can block you from absorbing the good stuff from your food. NOT ONLY THAT, but the gene mutation that makes this happen is called MTHFR. That stands for methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase… but let it be known it can be a real MTHF**R when it comes to absorbing nutrients.    So… why is folic acid added into food anyway? Short answer… it’s cheap. Food manufacturers and supplement companies don’t want to cough up the dough for the good stuff. Of course, you can avoid it all by simply avoiding refined grains and cereals! Done and done.    Sophia and Lily then debunk crazy nutrition myths in regards to pregnancy and conception nutrition.    Myth #1 - Eat fortified cereal for a healthy baby   Truth #1 - You can’t find the same amount of nutrients in refined grains as you can in whole, let alone in comparison to other whole foods. The #1 indicator of poor nutrient intake is high intake of refined grains. Eating a lot of bread, crackers, and pasta means you’re eating less fish, eggs, berries, and greens. Not to mention the impact that refined foods have on your blood sugar.    Myth #2 - Cereal is a breakfast food   Truth #2 - grains in cereal are primarily carbohydrates. Mixing cereal with milk or yogurt only increases the carb load. Mix in some fruit beyond that and you’re looking at one sitting that consists of ½ the carbs you need for the whole DAY! Physiologically, everyone who eats a meal like this will see a massive blood sugar spike. Research shows that when you start your day with a carb rich breakfast, you will eat more food and have stronger hunger signals for the whole day! Eating a fat and protein rich breakfast does the opposite, even if the fat/protein breakfast has more calories than that of a carb rich breakfast.    Mental health issues can also be abated by eating a protein and fat rich breakfast. It primes your brain to be happier and more balanced all day long! Whereas a carb rich breakfast is greatly associated with higher anxiety and deeper depression all day long. High carb breakfasts also include fruit smoothies! There are fewer things on planet earth that will spike your blood sugar more quickly than liquid fruit on an empty stomach.    If you want to have smoothies on an empty stomach, it needs to have 20+ grams of protein and 10+ grams of fiber while containing less than 20g of carbohydrates. And honestly, a smoothie with that profile doesn’t usually taste that good. Sorry to say but this includes that fancy bag of protein powder from your best friend’s MLM affiliation. Protein powders that taste sweet but are low in carbs contain artificial sweeteners. None of which are tested on fetuses or pregnant women. Though we do know that these sweeteners cause birth defects in mice so… let’s just say no to them for humans too.    Myth #3 - Eating only plants is best   Truth #3 - Listen, we understand all the arguments for and against consumption of animal products. We respect people’s choices. We never argue against people’s ethical and religious objections. However, there are significant nutrient gaps that strict vegan and vegetarianism can create. If you don’t eat animals, nutrients aren’t available in adequate quantities and concentrations to support fertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. These nutrients are choline, glycine, vitamin K2, iron, zinc, omega 3, and B12. Even if you eat these nutrients in a veggie-based way, you won’t be able to absorb them. The same goes for vitamin A. Even if you eat lots of beta-carotene, you can end up with deficient vitamin A without eating animals.   Supplements can help, but even great supplements don’t always have the right ratios, forms, and amounts of these nutrients to nourish the baby and the mother well. It’s not the same thing to take algae-based DHA, versus getting it from animal foods. We are just scratching the surface as far as what women need while TTC and pregnant.    Look, there’s a difference between knowing what’s best and choosing to eat plants-only because of your own preferences and eating plants only because you believe a lie that eating animals is bad for you. Nutritionally, it’s just not true that plants alone are best. However, we meet women wherever they are at, without judgement, and help them do what’s best for their lives as a whole.    Listen up though. When we say “plant based”, we are talking about the challenges of a vegan and vegetarian diet in pregnancy. We are not talking about NOT eating plants. We highly recommend that women eat lots and lots of plants! In fact, we recommend that you make your diet MOSTLY plants! We just know, from research, that eating animals and animal products in addition to plenty of plants is the best way to feed your body for fertility and pregnancy. Even though some people have seemingly been ok through a plants-only pregnancy; it’s just not best.    But here’s some good news for ethical vegans! Bivalve shellfish like oysters, clams, and mussels have no central nervous system and therefore do not feel pain. Plus, they are generally very sustainably grown and harvested. Many vegans decide to eat these foods while TTC or pregnant to boost their nutrition.   Myth #4 - Artificial sweeteners are better for you and they help prevent gestational diabetes by keeping sugars low   Truth #4 First off, this is the dumpster fire equivalent of nutritional advice. YOu might expect that eating something that provides no calories or sugar would be superior to something that does contain sugar and calories. However, it turns out our bodies aren’t so easily tricked. When it comes to artificial sweeteners, you actually can still raise your blood sugar in a similar way to as if you were eating/drinking sugar! This is due in part to how our bodies react to strong sweet tastes, and also due to the fact that these sweeteners greatly affect the bacteria in our digestive systems.    Sucralose, or Splenda, is one of the worst offenders on our gut bacteria. Sucralose also really affects thyroid function! Eww! Thyroid function is also really vital to healthy fertility before you get pregnant, and vital to your baby’s brain development after you’ve gotten pregnant.    There are also studies linking consumption of artificial sweeteners in pregnancy to childhood obesity! Women who consumed artificial sweeteners on a daily basis had bigger babies, and their children were almost twice as likely to develop obesity during childhood.    These sweeteners prime your taste buds and brain to crave more and more sweetness, which makes you in turn want to eat more sugar! We are fans of laying off the sweet flavors and letting your taste buds adjust back to nature.   Myth #5 Low carb diets are dangerous in pregnancy - 56:00   Gestational diabetes means carbohydrate INTOLERANCE in pregnancy. That means carbohydrate intake needs to be adjusted according to what your body can tolerate. With that said, we don’t have a lot of data on SUPER low diets during pregnancy (less than 40g of carbs per day), but Lily does recommend swapping higher carb foods for more nutrient-dense foods that has a higher nutrient-to-carb ratio. Unlike most health professionals, Lily is not afraid of ketosis or ketones in pregnancy. In fact, in all mammals, pregnant bodies use fatty acids and ketones MORE READILY than carbohydrates as fuel. Though this is a different conversation than we are having here, it's worth noting that eating low carb is certainly not something to be afraid of.    As dietitians when we put the MOST nutrient dense foods into a woman’s diet we find that she is eating at minimum 70-90g of carbohydrates per day. If you try to pull a daily diet lower than that, you start to cut out healthy foods to get to that point. Plus, we have to use our bodies and brains when planning diets for pregnant women. Meaning, in the beginning of pregnancy women usually have food aversions, taste changes, and appetite variations. It’s really hard to be low carb at the beginning of a pregnancy!   As far as fertility goes, the same rules apply. Limiting your intake of high carbohydrate foods and swapping them out for more nutrient dense foods boosts your ability to make healthy hormones. Swapping out leaner proteins (chicken breast) for the fattier and more nutrient-dense cuts (chicken thighs) can get your body ready to house a healthy baby. However, going through heroics to force down your carb and protein intake in order to induce ketosis has not been shown in research to help fertility or pregnancy. These kinds of diets are not supported by research and they’re largely not sustainable.    Let’s also keep in mind that what a lot of people call “low carb” or even “keto” is simply limiting refined carbohydrates and sugar while focusing on veggies and protein. We are all for diet changes like that! True low carb diets (less than 50g per day) or true ketogenic diets are very different from what your neighbor is describing as she eats a lettuce-wrapped burger with a side of sweet potato.
