I don't see the diet as being universally applicable but the theory behind the diet is compelling. There's an overlap in risk factors for diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. There's also an overlap in medications(e.g statins/aspirin lowe

Not really. There's a pretty clear connection between insulin levels and weight gain. Spiking your insulin levels by eating carbohydrates will effect how calories are used for many if not all people.

I believe the argument is consciousness is not a causal product of relations represented in the brains structures but a property of the substrate. Consider that a brain model on a turing machine is equivalent to a sticks and stones model ru

When these discussions come up people often mention the Steelcase Leap as an equal. Find a local store that sells them and try them all out. For me the major distinguishing point was the lower back support. The cheaper Aeron version woul
