For me, the turn off was that any ipv6 connection on Linux was ALWAYS slow as hell to resolve, often leading to timeouts. Tore my hair out for ages, only to discover after much frustration and searching online that the solution was as simpl

What about a diet with completely unprocessed meats and plants? Basically, a diet entirely devoid of processed foods? I bet that would be equally anti-inflammatory, and be good for heart health.

How arrogant. It is philosophy that gave birth to science is it is today. In fact, "science" was once known as "natural philosophy". Science is a practical philosophy based on experimentation via the scientific method. I

Yeah, this could make it slightly difficult. Good thing I asked the question, though, because this answers it in a way, unlike the other unhelpful commentor.

You're wrong. If you want to know why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM A brilliant lecture by Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology. He knows his stuff. :)

300 calories of glucose is going to be far healthier than 300 calories of fructose, because of how they are metabolized by the body.
