There are lots of mouse studies that point to bad metabolic effects from soybean oil consumption. Many of these mechanisms are the same in humans. If one wants to start pulling the metaphorical thread on seed oils, this is not hard to do, a

There are many debunkings of The Game Changers, this is a good place to start: https://youtu.be/jClsLOuQ2DE?t=772

The bioavailability is much lower and it’s usually filled with factory oils like soybean oil which is not very healthy.

The calory in calory out (CICO) model is pretty much debunked I think. Some foods affect metabolism, others affect satiety. People in the US had enough food a hundred years ago, yet they weren't morbidly obese.

The environmental impact is also suspect. There were about as many head of cattle (buffalo) in the US before white people arrived as there are now, but somehow the cows are causing global warming, not you know, fossil fuels.

I didn't claim you made up the bankruptcy numbers. I just pointed out the economies are different. We are discussing a strategy for dealing with the virus, not who has the most money. If you've been to Scandinavia you will know wh

You should visit Scandinavia sometime. The Swedish and Norwegian economies cannot be compared easily.

The Scandinavian countries are actually quite different economically with regards to e.g. which industries represent most of their GDP. Since they are so small they are not very diversified. They're smaller than many US states and most

Do you think it's possible that since more people have had the virus in Sweden, they are "through" to the other side while Norway isn't? How would that affect the excess death number?

The counting methodology is not the same so it's not necessarily an apples to apples comparison

Yes, I agree, the debate needs to be open. I also think that being allowed to champion your own opinions and defend your past choices is a given, not least since these people whom I may disagree with may have good arguments that should be c

As a Norwegian I don't trust a Norwegian newspaper to be anywhere near impartial with regards to the economic question. I also think it's hard to compare Norway and Sweden economically given the amount of money spent on stimulus b

Are you talking about confirmed cases here?

And the people who don't go and find a new job will replace you in the market place. It's natural selection.

Very cool, mind sharing some? Others may have the same.

I build my Linux Go binaries on my macOS development machine. Cross compilation is trivially easy in Go and I never had any libc version problems.

Along these lines, not drinking excessively with meals can help, since you're not dilluting your stomach acid.

Norway produced only slightly less oil in 1987 than they do now. The Aleksander Kielland accident happened in 1980, and by that time, oil was huge business.

Do you think emissions are increasing in an exponential manner or a linear manner?

It's hard to survive in a healthy way for most of the world without eating animals unfortunately. Animals die in nature all the time, in much worse ways than the clean deaths they would get in a meat processing plant. Death is part of

A couple more possibilities could be that smokers are less likely to notice any symptoms they might have, or are less likely to report those symptoms and get a test. Smokers are probably less conscientious on average - it's almost the

Old people own stuff. Why is that important in this context?

I haven’t considered that angle but I think it comes down to human nature mostly. Trust in authorities seem to be our default mode of operation, and critical thinking is not something that’s taught in med school or valued in hospitals. Doct

This is pretty common in medicine. Consensus weighs heavier than actual evidence unfortunately.
