http://stm.sciencemag.org/node/186102.full Interestingly some lysosomal enzymes are only activated after 10 days of fasting, today how many people fast for this length of time? This is super interesting. What is the

In my mind there was this exponential explosion in sugar since the 70s It was probably not so exponential, it's more like an increased intake of everything. ERS data show that on average, US adults consumed 363 more calories per day

Normally one does not think of water as a reductant, but as a facilitator oxidation. Normally I don't think of water in either way ...

Just a thought. As you yourself say, we know only of one planet with life. However, looks like life only arise once on this planet. If life is so abundant in the Universe, why wouldn't it at least arise several times independently on t

Resilience is probably not that closely linked to the probability of arising. Maybe once it exists, it is resilient, but when it is absent, chances of it arising are still very low.

Do you think you're disagreeing with me somehow? Probably. I think the following is still controversial: My read on the current situation is that the evidence strongly indicates that sugar is a major problem There are multiple poss

the root cause of dietary issues is excessive fat in the diet, not sugar. Anything excessive in the diet will lead to gaining weight and eventually to obesity. I can not say which will lead to diabetes faster, consuming extra 1000 calorie

Someone cared to downvote. So I made a random Google search and came up with this guy, who is 5'8 and 210 pounds in contest state http://www.bodybuilding.com/author/john-hansen Which puts him at 31 BMI, so just ba

Adding random citations to straw man arguments proves nothing. Did we even read the same articles? Here are some examples I picked up in five minutes that look like completely reasonable referencing to me. Anyone with an Internet connect

To be fair BMI is not perfect. All your gym rats get lumped in Obese for example. Not really. To get to obese by gaining muscle mass one would most certainly have to use certain illegal drugs.

False dichotomy? It is quite possible to enjoy an activity and gain money at the same time.

Until a scientist in Australia proved ulcers were caused by bacteria. So consensus was wrong. Very wrong. Interestingly, among people who have Helicobacter pylori in their stomachs, only a subset develops ulcers. Some people have bacteria

This review draws from 204 studies, 20 of which you have cherrypicked one-line statements from. There are more studies. How many would be an "enough" number to convince you that it is not trivial to achieve optimal health on com

It seems easy to tell the negative effects of eating meat (might cause cancer, etc). It's absolutely not easy. For example, there is still no conclusive evidence on meat causing cancer. There is no mechanism - there are no carcinogen

The China Study[1] is a really good book that contains a lot of research about the effect on chronic disease a vegan diet has. I found it very interesting. Did you read any of the critisism though? Here are some http://www.chol

Hunting animals for food is core to what we as humans evolved to be. The way we sweat, walk, stand, etc. all seem to have evolved to be an endurance hunter. Clearly, our evolution favored those who hunt and eat meat. This is a great point

He has an IQ of 150. There are multiple IQ scales. Stanford-Binet, Cattell etc. Isn't just the number pointless, unless the type of test is also mentioned?

My guess is that he meant things like "fat makes you fat and causes heart disease", or "fruit juice is good for you", or "margarine is better for you than butter" or "meat causes cancer" etc.

So, if I don't write a review, the other party's review won't get posted either? Yes, I'm quite sure that's how it works currently. There is a deadline, which is 14 days, and also you are notified when the other s

due to the two-way review system, renters were reluctant to write a bad review since they were concerned they could get retaliated by the owners giving them bad reviews in response This, I think, is important. Both the renter and the land

Thanks, added your blog post to favorites. I lived in Melbourne for 12 years, still consider Australia my home.

Thanks a lot. I'm sure I read the book a few years ago ... will have closer look to make sure I'm not confusing it with "The Pragmatic Programmer".

Thanks, that is a good question to ask in the interview. I will. One of the reasons may be that I have experience in the particular field, and also worked for a competitor in my previous position a few years ago.

Well, that's too amazing to be true - as part of my preparation I started reading "The Art of Unit Testing" just a couple days ago (not that I did not write tests before, but got a suggestion that the book will help me better

I'm so happy that I've read four of the mentioned above - the first three and the "Code complete". Will try to do some more reading in the nearest days.
