I wonder if it's as simple as ensuring diet includes adequate & consistent sulpher intake optimizes glutathione? It's likely a lot more complicated than that though.

Huh, sulpher-containing food (garlic, onion, cabbage, etc) has long been recommended to aid in the flushing of heavy metals as it's believed that they aggressively bind together to make much more bio-mobile compounds.

The fat burning zone (I prefer the term "fat burning bias" because it's not a switch but a gradient) would only begin to dominate as you use up all the energy in the food you eat. Any food you eat (not just carbs!!!) will cau

I think you misunderstand growth. It is not simple growth like a balloon grows as you inflate it. The economy is the act of economizing - the process of learning to do more with less. Growth is learning, to suggest we will stop learning or

We have reduced the amount of resources required for every $ of GDP produced by ~80% in the past century. Why do you think this will stop in the next century? It takes time for tech to propagate, which is why American farmers get 5x more fo

"if users can have mobile experience which is not tainted by interest of big co-operations" This is impossible. All co-operation has biases, for profit or for another reason, everything comes with "strategy-taxes".

I feel my age puts me in a unique place because I was lucky enough to grow up with computers as they matured. I have knowledge of the world before and after software ate it. What you call "technological baggage", I call wisdom.

Why can't it simply be that as most households moved from 1 to 2 income, the market adapted? What policies and/or regulations can we make to incentivize a market where house prices reduce over time? Is that the goal? Houses are on

I think that's more media spin. The actual sales stats show a TINY fraction of sales are to foreign owners, but more often for very expensive properties ($2M+), which can make things appear differently. Over 99% of homes, even in Vanco
