Most fruit juices have a GI of ~50, which is moderate (about the same as a sweet potato). They don't really spike blood-sugar. Fructose is low-GI. They also contain other phytonutrients and flavenoids which may aid health in appropriat

One more factor, besides the ones other posters have pointed out, is tolerance. I find my tolerance to the anxiety provoking effects increases faster than my tolerance to the anxiolytic effects. If I haven't consumed any in a while, I

Wasting 10s of 5 billion people's time = 1585 years of life or 27 lives, but I think most would agree killing 27 people is far worse. You can't really equate the two.

Being more efficient during higher energy demands doesn't necessarily optimize you for the same conditions with lower demands. It would be interesting to re-calculate energy expenditure at rest for the over-exercised grouped.

There's a sweet spot of physical activity which optimizes energy expenditure:appetite. Too little or too much and your appetite is higher than your expenditure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22855277?dopt=Abs

What if using them on crops saved more lives, especially right now, by avoiding starvation scenarios in prone areas, farmers from going bankrupt (and upping risk of suicide), etc. It's not a simple problem, you have to do the cost-be

The math might not work out as poorly as you imagine. I don't know the exact numbers for Sweden, but in Canada (where insurance is required for downpayment less than 20%), putting 5% is actually not a bad move, even if you have 20% dow

In the GTA (Toronto area) it costs around $2500 for a SFH, or $1M+ to buy. Around Ottawa, a house rents for similar prices, perhaps a couple hundred less, but the same house can be bought for half the price. It absolutely makes sense to re

I personally like buying used, keeping it in good shape or even improving on the bought condition, and re-selling when I no longer need it/am moving. My aunt's mother-in-law just moved back to England from Canada. She spent thousa

We could make that work with the tech we have these days. For example, meeting people at point A from points B and C, agree upon a time, then use google maps to tell you when to depart to arrive at point A at the agreed upon time.

Do you know how it would compare to something like a space-heater in terms of something like $ per degree heated per cubic meter?

A few ways automation can help: 1. Things become cheaper. Maybe you don't need a car anymore since robot taxis are much more affordable. Houses become cheaper to produce, as well as the objects inside. Food is cheaper to produce. 2. St

It would vary depending on type of exercise. Giving my opinions based on being very interested in the subject for years, without bothering with citations. For muscle-mass, the health benefits come from having higher glycogen storage (helpin

If there was less demand for expensive areas, the market would adjust and they would become less expensive. The overall effect would be an averaging effect on real estate prices as cheaper areas became more expensive and expensive areas che

Exposure therapy is pretty effective and works by introducing new information, so it can't be too defective. A cat scratched me when I was a kid and I was afraid of cats for a few years, but I met some friendly ones and overcame my f

Most of that land is sold with a mortgage with 5-20% downpayment, and so that ongoing payment already dwarfs the one-time purchase cost. Alternatively, you're talking about rent. Also, large wealth doesn't generally just run out

Wouldn't this only work as a method of increasing middle class wealth if you owned 2+ properties? Otherwise, you have to live somewhere. You can't sell your house and unlock that wealth increase without spending it all on the next

There's only a few strains of mould which pose a health problem for humans. I wonder if the mould in areas where it's endemic has colonized the "friendlier" strains, competing with the toxic ones, like good gut bacteria.

I'm wondering if the mould problems are made worse by the fact that there's already a ton of mould there, spreading spores rampantly. Combine that with a density the US South doesn't even come close to reaching, and you'

May usually means 'has some evidence behind it'. Heuristic: the probability of it being true should be high enough to be worth talking about.

There's probably multiple factors. My guess is high social status. Having high social status confers a high degree of safety, especially evolutionarily, and yields good reproductive success.

I find the concepts of responsibility and blame to be leaky beyond use in a lot of situations. Can you help the situation? Great, it would be wise to do so. If not, try and get yourself into a position where you can, if possible, otherwise

Power is great at lowering stress, actually. A sense of control goes a long way to alleviating it. https://www.pnas.org/content/109/44/17903

Potatoes are actually not that cheap per calorie. By weight, yes, but they're full of water, which dilutes the nutrient density per gram.

The situation is more nuanced and complicated with fruit juice . Too much is probably bad for you, but moderate amounts have been shown to have health benefits. In poorer areas many can afford juice but not whole fruit. https://w
