In my experience, high fat isnt an issue since it makes you feel full... as long as you also aren't eating a lot ( > 20-100 g/day) of carbs. The real problem is they started pairing sugar and corn syrup and grains in general wi

Not that I consider the "war on drugs" to be valid in any way, but I haven't seen anything involved with it that is in the same category as the genre of "news" I am talking about: https://www.urbandiction

If you think the economic system is scammy, but most people just won't listen, you will experience the exact same emotions you list. So I have to disagree.

It gets more insane. I've also seen that in some places they instituted a "sugar-tax" but the federal government intervened and made an exception for people paying with food stamps: https://www.chicagotribune.com&#

The 1918 flu was exceptional in that aspirin recently became a generic drug and the recommendation was to soak the patient in it. The symptoms of aspirin poisoning are similar to those of pneumonia (the main cause of death via flu). > &q

See my post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18561136 Depending on how the data breaks down that could just be a narrative they are pushing for whatever reason. The "overdoses" include poisoning by prett

What do they mean by overdose? The WSJ did not seem to properly cite its sources here, but I am guessing it is this: >"Drug overdose deaths are identified using underlying cause-of-death codes from the Tenth Revision of ICD (ICD–10)

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. It is certainly possible this is just an artifact of changing demographics, or even adoption of ICD-10. It could even be that birth records are becoming more reliable than in the past so people are no

Why would there be any cherry picking? There are a number of people in this thread (and also many downvoters) who apparently believe very strongly about this stuff. Why can't they point me to the exact evidence that convinced them? And

People have told me similar about other topics and I learned from it. I interpreted it as a fact about how just claiming something is wrong appears to some people. The doomsday aspect definately accentuates it though.

Can you quote the part of the paper where you think it claims "99.9% of scientists [are] saying that we're screwed." I just looked and didn't see it.

Sorry, it is even clear which claim you are referring to at this point. Also, if you believe something so strongly why do you not have a go-to source for the information that lead to that belief? Why, exactly do I believe this is an impor

It isn't about facts or "truth" or "99.9% of scientists saying" we are screwed. That isn't how science/engineering works, its how politics works. Perhaps that is why there is difficulty communicating acros
