I wish it was a matter of education. Unfortunately that has little to do with the problem.

Those marketing claims are each about a very specific workload, not about general performance. Yes, it is often misleading.

As I understand it such diets allow the immune system to work more effectively, not suppressing it like, say, corticosteroids do.

I misinterpreted you as implying a libertarian anti-state argument. I had thought I was returning the same energy. My apologies.

You are right. Empathy in the literal sense of only being able to relate with others that have the same experiences and interests. I appreciate that clarity.

Thank you for expounding. I can only assume we're talking about empathy from the real estate lobbyists who control housing policy.

Empathy created the housing crisis?

On average I agree. Dog noise doesn't carry nearly as far. But if you're neighbors with noisy dogs, it's probably at the top of your mind.

We already know pollution from cars increases childhood asthma, and I imagine those pollutants could affect brain development as well. Edit: Also I would be curious to know how dog barks affect children's brains. Of all the environment

I've been leaning into Rust almost purely to escape from the mess that is C/C++ tooling which always makes considering a new dependency a time sink. Can someone explain the obsession with combining ECS with generational arenas?

Interestingly enough, NCRI is almost exclusively funded by pro-Israel lobbying groups. https://www.causeiq.com/organizations/network-contagion-rese...

Let us lean into McCarthyism without hesitation. Nothing can go wrong.

I don't know but I could imagine the extra oxidative stress and inflammation etc. might mean your body would need more of certain minerals than it otherwise would? Just speculating, not a doctor/nutritionist/biologist. Edit:

Magnesium is very important but of course the big confounding factor is that a higher magnesium depletion score is also a good indicator that you're consuming more processed foods and fewer whole foods.

Even in decentralized networks, power concentrates to the very few. We need to figure out how to democratically own and operate our platforms (and the world, lol).

And how do you think a government reinforcing a monopoly comes to be?

It's almost like you're describing the current system.

Isn't processed food associated with lower income?

I don't think either are great in the quantities most people consume, but the current evidence suggests saturated fats are worse if you are to simply replace one with the other.

by james4k 3y ago
Oh yea, I agree small amounts is ok, it's just the standard diet has sooo much of it.

Aren't saturated fats from plants like palm oil and coconut oil also associated with those negative outcomes?

What is his angle on why so much disease is associated with meat

The key part of those studies is that they were comparing omega-6 fats to saturated fats like butter. They are healthier than saturated fats all else being equal, but that doesn't mean you should have that much of it.

Living within an empire does not mean you control it, of course. But probably means you're conditioned to justify it. But yes, I agree. There is more in common with workers in the US and workers in Tijuana than with the owning class.
