   To be specific on what I've found so far. This is the most widely cited paper to demonstrate safety of aluminum adjuvants. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.... Quote from the p

   I don't know enough to say categorically if it's a good or bad thing, I'm actively curious about vaccines - when something is so sacred that you dare not question it, I get curious. Some things I learned the other day in skim

   I disagree. Actual food, meaning plants, animals, fungus is one thing. Novel chemical substances should IMHO be guilty until proven innocent. I realize there's a grey area between say, a plant, and some chemical isolated from the plant

   There's some truth there, but no matter how active one is, one can still out-eat the exercise with sugar.

   I imagine this is a substantial cause. And, sugar is also a physical addiction, and many children are given it in varying degrees of excessive amounts from childhood even if they're not particularly subjected to stress. There is a sp

   All four have the same kind of brain cancer? Or just have some kind of cancer?

   Anecdotally I think there's something to this, when all I have to eat is lacking in micro nutrients I tend to be hungrier. When I'm eating lots of very nutrient dense things, even when less calories, I feel satisfied.

   I know it's hotly debated and I don't imagine I could convince you :). This is my opinion. If I read right, you're saying that an entire food group that people have been eating for eons is simply "bad", specifically

   I don't know that that's true. Most healthcare is subsidized. And so is the sugar. There's very little movement to restrict the sugar. There are profits to be made on both ends (selling the sugar and the insulin for examp

    Next compare the price of a donut vs the price of a bag of flour and sugar ;)

    What's new to me is that it's becoming newsworthy, more people are talking about it. To my current understanding, metabolic syndrome caused by sugar / glucose spikes is by far the biggest root cause of physical health issue i

    Maybe, but all of the ones commonly called "seed" oils do as far as I know use a similar refining process with toxic hexane and probably other toxic stuff if I were to guess. There may also be a difference in the polyunsaturated f

    It probably would if it means oils with less chemicals, but might not affect diabetes much which is as I understand it, caused by glucose/insulin spikes. I did the math once and Americans ingest a lot of hexane just from seed oils ever

    They are, we'll see how it plays out over the next decade by which time diabetes will likely have climbed even higher. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2024/12/11/major-food-c... (I don&#x2

    There's truth here, and, as I understand it, carbs with high glycemic index do have the effect of blood glucose and then insulin spikes which cause metabolic disease and lead to diabetes which is the primary thing that's deadly he

    I don't think it's carbs as such necessarily, but the glycemic index of the foods and their addictive qualities - i.e. how easy it is to way overdo the glucose spiking. Yes, if you cut the carbs the problem is solved, but there ar

    Music has been a huge discovery and joy for me too. I left the tech world seven years ago after a "career" of five years, not super wealthy but having enough saved/invested that I could live frugally and it would grow slowly
