The startup culture talks the talk about "changing the world", but in truth most of us couldn't care less so long as we get our next funding round. For every Watsi, we have a hundred bullshit companies with bullshit products, providing yet

I read the post just a day or so ago about how the news are bad for you and make you unhappy. I thought to myself 'good for me that I knew that already and have limited my news intake to HN and HN only'. There we go - looks like it's not po

You shouldn't forget to compare general health of one who runs versus one who doesn't. Not only just wellbeing, but sick days (missed on income), medical bills etc.

Relevant: Upon landing, Polyakov opted not to be carried the few feet between the Soyuz capsule and a nearby lawn chair, instead walking the short distance. In doing so, he wished to prove that humans could be physically capable of working

My understanding is that when carbohydrates are in short supply, then gluconeogenesis kicks in and liver starts producing glucose from lactate, glycerol and amino acids. I.e. some information can be found here: Low-Carbohydrate Diet Burns

I would like to know more ... I know a bit about Inuit and their diet - I've read "My Life with the Eskimo" by Vilhjalmur Stefansson http://www.amazon.com/Life-Eskimo-New-Vilhjalmur-Stefansson/... Stefansson and another explorer, Andersso

Just to clarify - that was an example. Whatever will be wrong with Soylent, will probably be something no one considered. What do we know about completely eliminating fiber from the diet for an extended period of time? Or what do we know ab

As mentioned, there are too many "unknown unknowns" to say for sure. So I'll refer to an anecdote: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/animals-and-us/201106/wh... In her early 30's, Staci's health started going downhill. After twelve yea

What about all of the exceptions? The general approach to exceptions is that exceptions exist and yes, it is impossible to eat 100% foods that the paleolithic man ate. Obviously even modern cows or pigs did not exist 20K years ago. And on

Obesity is the result of a caloric surplus. Cavemen didn't have that luxury. Obesity epidemic is a very recent phenomenon. Are you arguing that there were no societies that had caloric surplus up until late in the XX century? Or would you

I've recently came to the conclusion that the Paleo diet is beneficial for me not because it tells me what to eat. No, it's because it tells me exactly what not to eat. With respect to what people ate (especially how much meat), the only s

To start, this almost implies that there's a room full of Old Powerful White Men (let's be honest, that's what you imagine) figuring out how to raise little consumer sheep. I've never been in such a meeting, but what would you imagine is

I absolutely can not believe that natural yogurt may somehow have 0 calories from fat. Fat occurs naturally in milk, from which this yogurt was made. Therefore, if this yogurt has 0 fat, it has been removed by an industrial process. I would
