@sibaburck There are inconsistencies in the study results. Many other plants may contain active B12 as well, such as chlorella or duckweed, etc. Veganhealth.org has a great summary. The original argument is nonsensical through, as if “lab-made” means “bad”.

B12 is the only vitamin vegans needed to supplement and it was just proven that some varieties of seaweed have bioactive b12. Meaning a vegan technically does not have to supplement to get every nutrient. Your argument is officially debunked.

@OperadorNuclear @error_525 Would you educate Third Reich folks for example? Empower their war machine with more knowledge? Not to mention profit from their market... And pay taxes there?

@error_525 Me gustan los que hacen las cosas bien en ciencia y tecnología nuclear y no me gustan los que solo se basan en sus prejuicios y sus sesgos ideológicos.

Моя первая книга "Энергия атома спасёт мир" 🌍 уже доступна на русском языке в "Лабиринте": labirint.ru/books/882184/ Разрушаем мифы об атомной энергетике. Эта книга бросает вызов всему, что вы считали само собой разумеющимся, и меняет ваш взгляд на многие вещи. В ней также есть отдельная глава, посвящённая атомной энергетике в России 🇷🇺 Mi primer libro, LA ENERGÍA NUCLEAR SALVARÁ EL MUNDO 🌍, ya está disponible en ruso. Derribando mitos sobre la energía nuclear. Este libro cuestiona todo lo que dabas por hecho y cambiará tu forma de verla. Incluye un capítulo exclusivo sobre la energía nuclear en Rusia 🇷🇺

@cremieuxrecueil "To power" is a poor word choice, but you can certainly supply a central heating system. Such systems work in Denmark and Sweden. Providing useful energy = is to power

10 points to whoever identifies the very obvious reason you cannot "supply the waste heat from your cooling system to power homes and businesses nearby." This is your hint:

@galaxysplain @dr__idz I thought about sodium bicarbonate (there must be some data on BP), and it seems there is no risk. Thus we shouldn't presume a negative effect on BP of sodium-containing molecules such as MSG unless tests show otherwise I need to read more studies with MSG on BP specifically

@beyond_garde @dr__idz above 50 mg are illegal because in *pill* form they are linked to stomach issues. But even compared to not adding anything, I highly doubt there is a significant risk, due to the lack of structural similarity prior to digestion, the tiny doses, the fact glutamate is amino acid.

MSG is not bad for you. ❌ That narrative was actually anti-Asian bigotry perpetuated by western doctors and media outlets - for economic gain. The data is clear. For the vast majority of people MSG is perfectly safe at dosages found within food products 👍🏼

@debatni_denik Podobně tak biologicky je správně říct, že lidi mají srdce. Byť medicínsky víme, že někteří jedinci srdce mají uměle. Intersex variace nic nevyvrací, akorát biologicky model dvoupohlavního rozmnožování u lidí má svoje hranice a nelze ho aplikovat i v jiných sférách, tj. medicíně

@debatni_denik Tj. pokud nemůžeme určit, jestli je to už puberťák či ještě dítě, neznamená, že rozdělení na dětí a puberťačky je špatně👇

@debatni_denik Je mi lito, že nevyzněly silné kontrargumenty, ale u uličních debat by se to dalo čekat. Já bohužel 5. nemohl přijet do Prahy. Až na kontrargument o počtu intersex variací ve společností.

@debatni_denik Rozlišujeme-li pohlaví podle typu pohlavních buněk, stále je možné diferencovat pohlaví podle binární proměny i u intersex lidí. A jo, infertilní intersex taky. Dospívající a v menopauze taky. A zrovna v biologické optice to má smysl

@TheNutrivore Sure, no problem

@beyond_garde I think we should just VC about it.

So, just to be clear. You sign off on this? 🤔

@TheNutrivore If you are eating a banana, you are eating a fruit. What you are saying: if you are not eating a banana, you are not eating a fruit.

@beyond_garde I just don't see why you'd reject P2 on that basis. Both it and what you're describing are entailed on P1.

@TheNutrivore How? Since neither honey nor coconuts are animals, thus eating those things is vegan. Maybe there is some distinction between non-animal beings and things, but then the argument falls apart anyway; one line of the thought doesn't follow from the last (in that case)

@beyond_garde Those things not being vegan is consistent with P2.

@TheNutrivore The knowledge that being isn't an animal isn't sufficient to determine if eating this being would be vegan, since there is still a potential of indirect exploitation of animals via eating non-animal beings.

@galaxysplain I like the last group the most. It describes artificial sweeteners by what they do, by the very property we use them. It is also some form of futureproofing of the term. I think, in my bubble, the "sugar alcohols" is the most common one.

@galaxysplain I think those are three different groups; the first is "sugar alternatives", the broadest of all: anything except white powder. The second one is "sugars alternative" (plural), "not-sugar sweetener", the third is "low calorie", "non-nutritive", "zero calories", "low GI" etc.

What is the best term for the sugar alternatives sometimes called "artificial sweeteners" (even though white sugar is artificial too). (I prefer "sugar alternatives")

@debatni_denik Rád bych se zúčastnil, ale nejsem v Praze. Jinak záleží, jestli je to parametr druhu nebo jedince. Taky, jestli je to biologický pohled (binární proměnná), nebo medicínský (třeba každá intersex variace — jiné pohlaví, ovšem lze i jinak)

@TheNutrivore @PlantBasedNews I recommend using the contact form in the left corner of their webpage. in case you didn't

Hello, @PlantBasedNews. I'd be interested in speaking with the author of this article that was released today. I think the presented arguments against oysters being vegan aren't very strong. Please DM if there is any interest. Thanks! ♥️✌️ plantbasednews.org/culture/ethics…
