Simulation
Glucose spike and safety tradeoffs
The model is intentionally simple: carbohydrate load, glycemic index, fiber/protein/fat buffering, acid, cooled-starch, meal-order, and movement multipliers. It is for ranking and self-experiment design, not medical dosing.
Safety gates
Where not to improvise
Ferments
Use clean vessels, measured salt or starter, and verify rapid acidification. Treat pH 4.6 as the hard safety boundary for low-acid foods.
Leftovers
Cool cooked starch in shallow containers and refrigerate within two hours. Reheat thoroughly; do not repeatedly cycle warm rice or potatoes.
Sprouts
Raw sprouts are a recurrent outbreak vector. Cooking is the safer optimization, especially for children, pregnancy, older adults, or immune suppression.
Probiotics
Start small and prefer food sources. Avoid live-microbe experimentation during severe illness or immune compromise without medical guidance.
