#Hunde sind ebenso an stärkehaltige Nahrung angepasst wie der Mensch
In einer Studie wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen den Nahrungsgewohnheiten verschiedener Tierarten und den Kopien des #Amylase-Gens untersucht.Dabei zeigen die Ergebnisse deutlich: Je höher der Stärkeanteil in der Nahrung einer Tierart ist, desto mehr Amylase-Genkopien sind im Genom enthalten. Tatsächlich haben nicht verwandte #Säugetiere, die in verschiedenen Lebensräumen leben und verschiedene Arten von Nahrungsmitteln essen, eine ähnliche Anzahl von Amylase-Genkopien, wenn ihre Nahrung einen ähnlichen Stärkegehalt aufweist. Auffällig ist dabei, dass Tiere wie #Mäuse, #Ratten, #Schweine und #Hunde, die seit Tausenden von Jahren in engem Kontakt mit Menschen leben, sich schnell an die große Menge an Stärke in der menschlichen #Nahrung angepasst haben. Sie haben vergleichbar hohe Anzahl an Amylase-Genkopien wie der Mensch

CW: health issues (thyroid, liver, gremlins)?
As of this year I have a lot of trouble assimilating the nutrients in what I eat, along with a sudden rise last year in total #Cholesterol, #Amylase, and #Lipase in the blood.
No medical professional seems to be able to give me a definitive answer, although the doctor I saw last night observed my (chronically) low side of normal thyroid blood levels. Low #thyroid can slow down #Digestive processing and do a lot else into the bargain.

CW: Enzymes and Oat Drinks for the Revolution
Based on science (see above toot), I concluded that you can make #oat milk using diastatic #malt (aka. active baker's malt), since malt naturally contains the enzyme #amylase, which breaks down starches into sugars. While #sprouting, the berries produce this enzyme to digest the starches.
Producing malt from cereal berries is easy and doesn't require special equipment, but it takes some time. However, you don't need a lot of malt, so you don't need to do this often.
- Sprout some cereal berries. You don't need one of these fancy sprouting glasses -- a nutbag or muslin cloth (which you need to make plant milks anyway) is all you need; you'll find instructions online. Sprouting takes a few (3-5) days, so plan ahead.
- Spread the sprouts on a baking tray and bake them at 50-60 °C (= 122-140 °F) until the grains are completely dry.
- Pour the flour into a box and keep it in a fridge.Traditionally, malt is made using #barley (which contains a lot of amylase), but you can also make it with other grains. For #oats, however, you need to use "naked oats".
