No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

No, snoring is not normal. It's a sign of ectopic fat in the airway.
Snoring is common today because most people have less then ideal metabolic health. It is not normal for our species. From a evolutionary perspective it's not a great idea to advertise to predators that you are asleep
Most ectopic fat is due to a high carbohydrate diet driving persistently elevated insulin levels driving excess anabolism driving ectopic fat (airway, liver, visceral)
The good news is ectopic fat is the easiest fat to lose when you change your metabolism
This is the third time now. I keep seeing you blame carbs as the main culprit for various health issues people have. It would be nice to see some primary sources to back it up.
Great prompt, I haven't complied a list of ketogenic reading yet, I've rectified that now.

All the primary resources I've read on keto
That's a nice list. Saving it for later reading.
But for the purposes of the discussion in this thread, I'm looking for sources that point towards ectopic fat being the main culprit of snoring to tie in with what looks like evidence towards low carb diets being a (not the) solution to getting rid of ectopic fat. If that's in the list you provided, I'd appreciate if you can point it out. It's not really reasonable to expect someone to dig through all of that.
No such resource exists just on snoring. It's not a major health concern (sleep apnea is) so not much gets published specifically on subclinical snoring. I'm synthesizing from my collected knowledge and commenting casually here.
Ketogenic -1.3.9.1.4 How hyperinsulinaemia produces the visceral obesity that is the key to the pathology of the insulin resistance syndrome - This is probably the most relevant thing to read with respect to ectopic fat
As far as the mechanism of action of why carbohydrates are driving ectopic fat please read - The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity - Beyond “Calories In, Calories Out” - 2018
Your not asking people to justify with references the "snoring is normal and healthy" vibe that is upvoted here. I think that speaks to the poor metabolic health we have come to accept in society
To be fair, your statement was very general "various health issues" and "primary sources". The only possible response to satisfy that would be all the primary sources on all issues.
