Has an actual doctor diagnosed your condition? I think this qualifies as something worthy of one of those "a case report" publications. Yes, I do intend to challenge your position, but I mean no offense. Maybe the problem is not s

Is there any research around that tests whether self-defined "night owls" are immune to the hormonal effects of sunrise and sundown (as visual stimuli)? I once considered myself one, until I started actually rolling the blinds up

Definitely. However, this has been used to market a myriad of so-called health products that are far from ideal. I follow a carnivore diet and have always been a bit scared of messing up my microbiome, while finding it quite strange that I

It might be nitpicking, but there are many, many subtleties that depend on individual aspects that exhibit a high level of variability. Take, for example, minerals (electrolytes). Calcium absorption is greatly affected by the rest of your d

All doctors recommend eating well. But none of them actually knows what eating well means. Or, rather, they might think they know, and still you get ten conflicting answers.

The paper you linked mentions the diet twice, and both mentions are positive: > Early diagnosis of the GLUT1 deficiency syndrome is important because adherence to a ketogenic diet (Glossary) [15] is an effective treatment for most patien

I must be missing something. What is the relevant portion of the article you linked? They even praise the ketogenic diet. In case you wonder, the brain uses around 25% glucose and 75% ketones even in deep ketosis. Glucose in the blood is

I assume you know what a risk factor is and how it is established. I also assume you know what association is, and what it does and does not mean. Should I also mention epidemiology and observational studies? It must be clear to you, then,

That goes both ways. To be honest, you can bear the burden of proof yourself. If you want to show me I'm wrong, I'm more than willing to review the evidence. Unless of course you're just projecting the whole armchair thing on

Your body also prefers to metabolize ethanol (which provides quite a bit of energy, by the way) before anything else in the bloodstream. What does that tell you? Absolutely nothing. I could go with the "get rid of poison" narrativ

It can burn glucose (table sugar is sucrose ). It can also burn other stuff [0] and have almost no requirements for glucose, all of which can be provided through gluconeogenesis from amino acids and the glycerol backbone of fat. [0]:

The "good'ol'data" approach is useless when the data themselves are useless from the get go. LDL cholesterol is not a predictor, indicator or otherwise relevant measure with regards to disease, at all. If anything, HDL&#

That's exactly the premise behind Mojo Upgrade and other couple sex practice questionnaires.

From personal experience, having dealt with MDD/bipolar^, I can attest that exercise does help. However, exercise alone is not always sufficient. Daily meditation sessions help tremendously. But the icing on the cake (pun intended) is,

Copy and paste the link. It gives a 403 because the referrer is HN (so not from the same domain). No referrer, no 403.

The results themselves are not wrong per se. Reaching this conclusion from those results, however, is frankly insulting and should make all authors of the paper ashamed. > These data indicate that physical inactivity (e.g., sitting ~13.5

I hope I'm wrong here, but I fear that the author is, in a way, just moving the goalpost. A dissatisfaction with one's work that manifests as some sort of "what I do doesn't have meaning" or "what I do doesn&#x

You cannot assume this is an NIH study just because the website hosting the PDF is from the NIH. The NCBI is somewhat of an online repository of papers and citations, nothing more. The study was published in the journal BMC Complementary an

Oh, boy. Spain is pretty bad [0]. Nobody eats paella that often. Nobody who isn't a tourist drinks sangría. There is also no mention of northern cuisine except for pulpo a feira. Spanish gastronomy is a very regional thing. [0]: https

I find "appetising" and "less filling" are understatements. When I think of the food industry, I tend to think more in terms of "behaviour reinforcement" and "psycho- and physiological addiction".

S&H is not always fixed-rate. In fact, "handling" two items should cost more. Shipping more weight should also cost more.

A funny thing is that, in Castilian (Spanish spoken in Spain), the word "Internet" is always used without an article. We do assign the masculine gender to it when we attach adjectives to it, but never an article, which actually is

Editing a layer and changing the number of filters, stride or kernel size effectively changes the shape of that layer, but it should cascade a re-calculation down the path, which currently doesn't happen at least on my screen.

You could go with the route other users are suggesting and eat something that is filled with water and will probably leave your system undigested (e.g. fiber-filled vegetables). Or you could also try ingesting mud, for that matter. I sugges

I derive that same conclusion by using common sense, but unfortunately I don't have any answer other than that. I could find some anecdotes online, but that's all. There's also this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x

I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with my comment? Either way, it greatly depends on what you understand by "efficient". I dare to assume you are referring to ease of access, which is by no means a measure of efficienc
