I would bet the effect is simply due to heart attack deaths. Heart attacks are the #2 killer. Alcohol improves circulation and ameliorates heart disease. I bet if you controlled for triglycerides or waist to hip ratio the alcohol has no e

I have no idea what arithmetic you're using. I get over 50 mpg. Annual insurance is about $100. Averaged out I spend maybe $200 on maintenance, taxes, and registration. Motorcycles are very much cheaper than cars. Japanese motorcycles ar

I'd be interested to see the motorcycle accident/fatality rate controlled for rider demographics, using car accidents as the control. I bet the difference is much less than commonly indicated. I think the risk is very controllable. It's a

I don't know what the heck the point of these scooters and vespas are. They're the same price as 250cc proper motorcycles. Seems like a tax on hipsterdom.

Motorcycle is an under-considered car alternative. Fuel is peanuts and total annual costs only a few hundred; a small fraction of car ownership. Only a few grand of capital is tied up in the bike. It's great if you only need to drive a co

I dunno. Craigslist has made the market for "stuff" pretty liquid. I can get rid of most of my crap for a healthy fraction of what I paid with way less than an hour of effort per item. Hell, a whole lot of my stuff came from craigslist.

Actually, I agree the last study looks ok. The problem is it's about a completely separate discussion. It's about MUFA, which nobody is talking about. Fully saturated fat is the recommendation. I don't think there's actually much debate t

Unfortunately, simple citations aren't really a way to keep things tied to fact. Most studies are garbage. It really takes a book or two to lay out a case.

From quickly scanning through those studies I don't think any one of them actually looked at a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. The so-called high fat diet was ~40% calories from fat, and they never defined what kind of fat (soybean oil, k

Probably the only possible way to put on muscle mass as a vegan is with loads of soy protein. Which is pretty much toxic. Have fun with cancer and endocrine problems.

"glycogen supercompensation" dieting definitely works. You eat zero carbs for about four days, going ketogenic. (Eat plenty of saturated fat instead; lots of butter.) Then you lift extra hard. Then for the rest of the day you eat a ton

Kurt Harris does a great job breaking it down. http://www.paleonu.com/get-started/ I think you're somewhat misrepresenting Taubes. His main message is more that carbohydrates are bad, and saturated fat is good.
