If you google for studies, at this point you'll see an abundance of research on this with positive results, which apparently was just getting started when they dug into it and perhaps not well known to the average doctor. My memory plu

What might be some examples of Japanese and Korean foods which use nitrate-based salts for meat preservation? I assume meats marinated or cooked with high levels of regular salt are not what you are referring to? This looks like a gap in my

It's worth noting that despite not providing Vitamin D, there's still a fair bit of value in getting sunlight through glass: 1. Seasonal Affective Disorder is treated using just the visible light spectrum entering the retinas of t

Not saying your conclusion is wrong, but could this be selection bias? Maybe it's just that people with sales and marketing experience are disproportionately likely to write about it. I know some engineers with quiet side hustles that

The fact that we still don't know whether or not adult brains produce new neurons is incredible to me. It feels like we know so much as a species. But at the same time we're all just wandering around in these poorly-understood mea

I asked this question to a gastroenterologist recently and he suggested that people should treat them like medical drugs - don't take them at all if you don't have digestive issues, and if you do have issues, take them with medica

Adding my thanks to this. I have IBS and have done a ton of self-experimentation over the years to fix my symptoms (with reasonable success). I totally get what you mean about free will and being unable to think straight when your digestive

That's so interesting. When did the change happen? Do you think the recent instability is a result of this? And would you have any theories as to why this nonacceptance suddenly kicked in? I'm very interested in this topic as afte

Your life goal should be not to win any particular game, rather to win the sum of all games. Would anyone be able to help unpack this? I feel there is some depth to this idea but am not quite making the connection.
