For the record, not all scientists accept the research regarding birth control and mate preference as sound science. There's not even good evidence that humans can detect (even unconsciously) the MHC genotypes of another person (most of th

But has there been any evidence ever that the pesticides used on foods are harmful? Or is it all just fear?

Apple should be perfectly allowed to do this, but if they insist on continuing with such behavior, you can be sure that when my contract is up for renewal, an iPhone will not be my next device.

Most people who are defaulting on the loans essentially pay nothing in taxes (excluding the payroll taxes, which allegedly are separate).

While it's true that the article perhaps goes a bit too far without knowing much, I can't think of many other reasons other than that Apple is screwing Google because it is planning to integrate this feature into its own software. As a web

And which type of omnivorous animals? And which type of fat? Saturated fat has little effect on rats, but polyunsaturated fat induces tumors in rats according to to many studies. Low-fat, high calorie diets lead to more tumors than high-fa

My "knee jerk reaction" is simply that there isn't enough evidence to provide real nutritional guidance. The types of studies that need to be done have not been done. And the fact is, there are not numerous studies consistently showing a co

I'm not reasoning that all foods are equally beneficial and harmful, and I accept that it may very well be that a plant-based diet is superior to a meat-based diet. I reject the idea, however, that we know enough to say that this is true, a

I agree, this is one of the biggest flaws with this line of reasoning. However, it does say something (although it's unclear what it means for us) that some of those cultures had less incidence of the diseases commonly associated with old a

>follow-up studies to examine the processes in detail. Examining the processes isn't sufficient to provide proof unless it's a completely thorough examination. Biological science isn't at that point yet, and so what this usually means i

Absolutely, and the observations suggested that hormone treatment was possibly even beneficial. That's why it's completely true that correlation != causation. You can try to "control" for differences in the observed groups, and epidemiologi

Which animal studies prove that eating meat will decrease longevity in humans? Sure, if you feed meat to rabbits, or other vegetarian animals, but there are just as many animals that are essentially incapable of eating not only grains but

Heart disease has also increased with sugar consumption. Older cultures that ate primarily meat, but not a western diet also showed almost no heart disease.

On the other hand, as I explain above, epidemiological studies are essentially useless for anything other than formulating hypotheses (see the debacle with hormone replacement therapy). It baffles me that anyone would entirely change their

There are zero controlled studies showing this, however, and all of these studies are epidemiological/observational. It's confounded by things such as the fact that many of the groups that are vegetarian also essentially engage in calori

>It’s very clear that the more meat you eat, the earlier you die. Cut out as much meat as you can. Absolute nonsense. The only thing that has a clear relationship with extending lifespan is calorie restriction. The rest is very very unc

But it would be a good backup -- it's far better than busy signal (which I have gotten on two different occasions of calling 911).

I could be wrong, but I got this from the book "Asset Protection" by Adkisson and Riser (well known attorneys in this area): Under state law, having a registered agent in the state of incorporation creates nexus sufficient to allow the cor

But incorporating in Delaware doesn't make you immune to the laws of your home state. In fact, it allows people who want to sue you to potentially sue you in either state, thus doubling the amount of applicable laws (and possibly forcing y

It suggests that $120 is an outlandish price to pay for an operating system, but it doesn't seem so outlandish to me, if it's a good piece of software. People will spend that price, per month, on a cable or satellite bill (even in our curr

Does this mean that I can incorporate there and run the business with a physical presence from some other country? Yes, but you will still pay taxes in that other country. In fact, most states other than Delaware will also not charge you

The advice about Delaware and Nevada isn't necessarily good advice in terms of liability and in terms of taxes. If you're sued, you may have to go to Delaware or Nevada to defend yourself, and even if not, you may be subject to the laws of
