A new study, based on 96 Japanese office workers, found that staring at a screen for eight hours or more is associated with
lower mucin levels.
For sometime now I've realized that I'm dealing with
a low mucin issue but can't seem to find a way out of this maze.

Since that was published, well over 50
low - carb Paleo dieters have reported to me that dry eyes and other
mucin deficiency symptoms were cured by adding safe starches to their diet.

Also, I was wondering if it is wise to stay away from ketosis during this process since I remember you saying that
low carb (i.e. ketosis) emphasizes dryness (or lack of moisture via
mucin inadequacy).
But even prior to all this, we had severe concerns about VLC / ketogenic diets: the very
low triglycerides that these ketogenic dieters attain were being implicated in autoimmune pathogenesis in an Italian study; the
mucin deficiency that you mention were also being linked to immune (Secretory IgA deficiency); the T - lymphocyte dysfunction was being linked to ketosis and its effect on thymus; and the general leukopenic effect that a VLC diet has on everyone — this was being attributed to inflammation reduction but we were seeing WBCs fall into the 2s in many people.
Some micronutrients are required for
mucin production — notably vitamin D. [7, 8] Poland is fairly far north, and many of the Optimal Dieters could have been
low in vitamin D.
