Not a study but a theory: Sugar causes a blood sugar roller coaster with an energy crash at 2-3 hours that appears to be specifically designed to get us to over eat. In nature sugar exists in large quantities only during the short period of

If $400 a year isn’t a trivial expense for an ecommerce store, you are probably wasting your time. You can go with woo, which is marginally free. But it takes a week to set up vs half a day with Shopify. So, wasting 35 $100 hours to save

While an excellent use case, how big on an overall economic level is this? $20 billion? The big four accounting firms bring in about $40 billion in revenue each. Thus $160 billion would seem to me to be a reasonable order of magnitude est
