- zdragnar 8mo agoYou don't actually have to pick any of them.
- LargoLasskhyfv 8mo agoYour brain needs glucose. So some form of sugar is essential.
- zdragnar 8mo agoYour brain doesn't need to indulge in sugar to the point of becoming a poisonous vice. You can get more than a sufficient amount eating readily available whole foods. It's a bit like suggesting we are all addicted to water. Sure, enough of it will kill you, but that's not exactly helpful pedantry.
- LargoLasskhyfv 8mo agoIt depends. Not enough water kills you too.
- hackeraccount 8mo agoSure but the article seem to be suggesting this is a free lunch.
- gunsle 8mo agoExcept no one is going to outright lie to you that alcohol is “medicine,” that it’s not addictive, and that it’s entirely healthy to consume.
- lostmsu 8mo agoBut a glass of wine after dinner is good for your heart!

- NoGravitas 8mo agoMy grandmother used to insist that her nightly glass of gin was strictly medicinal.
