@lowmegatron Carboxymethylcellulose isn’t that the shell of a lot of supplement capsules?

Emulsifiers in processed foods have been poisoning people for decades. It's now so bad that even the WSJ is writing about it. Emulsifiers increase the risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. They change the gut microbiome in ways that cause inflammation. Carboxymethylcellulose reduces bacterial diversity and increases "bad" bacteria. Bacteria bred on these additives invade the inner mucus layer of the gut, leading to inflammation throughout the body and increasing the risk of IBD. Scientists are investigating low-emulsifier diets as a potential treatment for Crohn's disease. "... carrageenan impairs glucose tolerance, increases insulin resistance and inhibits insulin signalling in vivo in mouse liver and human HepG2 cells. These effects may result from carrageenan-induced inflammation. The results demonstrate extra-colonic manifestations of ingested carrageenan and suggest that carrageenan in the human diet may contribute to the development of diabetes."

@sparbuchfeinde Damit geht halt das Knappheitssignal weg. Besser wär Senkung der Mehrwertsteuer auf alle Produkte.

Das norwegische Parlament hat ein Gesetz zur vorübergehenden Senkung der Steuern auf Benzin und Diesel verabschiedet. Die Maßnahme gilt von April bis September. Zudem beschlossen die Abgeordneten eine Senkung der CO₂-Steuer, was weitere Einnahmeausfälle in Milliardenhöhe bedeutet. In Deutschland werden die Bürger weiterhin voll belastet. Nicht einmal die Erhöhung der CO2-Steuer zum 01. Januar wird rückgängig gemacht.

@The_Real_G_Evil @pavel23 With fiber optic cables :-/

@pavel23 Kick Out the russians out of Ukraine. The Ground is Well fertilized.

When we lose synthetic fertilizer, expect 19-25% lower yield, 10-30% higher production costs and 20-100% higher retail price. On the other hand, it will be mostly organic food what you get in the long run.

@libertas_HH Bessere wär jodsalz. Deutschland rutscht anscheinend gerade wieder in einen jod-Mangel rein.

Ich esse die Produkte von Frosta tatsächlich ganz gerne. Die Zutatenliste ist sauber, ohne Geschmacksverstärker, und die Gerichte sind im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Fertiggerichten ziemlich ausgewogen. Ein Punkt könnte aber noch besser werden: etwas weniger Salz in manchen Gerichten wäre wünschenswert. Insgesamt aber ein vernünftiges und relativ gesundes Tiefkühlprodukt.

@tchaloyi @pintya_ Premium Price…. Better don’t Check how much a replacement MagSafe cable for MacBooks costs :-(

Great question 👍🏽 Simple answer: They fixed the noise from the inside. Apple spends a fortune hiding the filters inside the white brick itself. They use better insulated wires and high quality shielding so the cable stays slim and clean. Basically, they paid more for the engineering so you don’t have to carry a lumpy cable. It’s a better design, but at a Premium price.

Back in 2011, I went into computer hardware repairs. I started with laptop chargers. I remember peeling back the rubber, soldering wires, and always staring at that weird plastic bulge on the cable. It didn't look like it did anything, but it was on every single high-end charger I fixed. I used to wonder if it was a hidden battery or just a weight to keep the cord from tangling. It turns out, that little lump is the unsung hero of your workspace. It's called a Ferrite Bead, and its only job is to act as a silencer for your electricity. See, every electronic device is naturally noisy. They send out invisible electromagnetic signals. Without that cylinder, your charger cable would turn into a giant antenna, broadcasting interference that would make your Wi-Fi slow, your TV flicker, or your speakers buzz. Inside that plastic shell is just a chunk of magnetic iron. It catches all that electrical noise and kills it before it can escape the wire. It’s basically a muzzle for your cable so your gadgets can live in peace. INALEGWU.

@emazinh0 @cynomel Magnesium oil on …

@cynomel Have you tanned your balls?

The worst part about posting any health issue is people dead seriously replying like, ‘Have you ever tried magnesium?’ Nigga, I'm going to kill myself in front of you.

@elonmusk You forgot -German :-)

For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture. Nobody dies to defend a “multicultural economic zone”! American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for. Some may not realize it, but that’s why people come here. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@ross_jace @NoahRyanCo If you are in Germany (or Europe?) you can buy the non sparkling one gerolsteiner.de/produkte/miner…

@NoahRyanCo Does it only come in sparkling water? I don’t like sparkling water

GOATed water. As much calcium as a glass of milk. More magnesium than most supplements. More alkaline than “alkaline water”. Truly toxin free (no agricultural runoff) I drink one a day minimum.

@johndory1914 Kotti? Schlesisches Tor? Das wäre passender…

Impressions from electoral district Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg 1, where the Greens always perform exceptionally well with around 40 % of the vote It‘s also one of the very few areas in central Berlin where the architecture remains largely unchanged since ca 1910

@levelsio There is LEDs with better spectrum like sun@home.

💡 I literally can't buy incandescent light bulbs because they're banned in the European Union I wish I was joking Only LED lights allowed in the EU with all their negative effects on our health

@CaryKelly11 You are forgetting the phenols in orange (juice).

My friend drinks an 11 oz OJ every morning because vitamin C. He was stunned when I told him that it has a similar amount of sugar as an 11 oz soda (23g vs 36g). “But the OJ is natural sugar”, he says. But metabolically, both drinks behave the same once you drink them. The body sees both as simple sugars and the consequences are similar. And that No Pulp means the only part of the orange that slows sugar absorption has been taken out. Your blood sugar levels have no brakes. You may as well drink a soda and take a vitamin C tablet, or better yet, just eat an orange.

@sparbuchfeinde Das Problem sind die seed oils, nicht der Zucker. In USA ist diese anti seed oil Diskussion schon weiter.

Ich habe heute einen entfernten Verwandten in einem angeblich besseren Altersheim besucht. Kostet monatlich einen Eigenanteil von 3.800 Euro. Zum Trinken gibt es vor allem Tee und Kaffee. Dazu wird den ganzen Tag Zucker gereicht. Zum Frühstück gibt es Marmelade. Jeden Mittag um 3 gibt es Kuchen. Nach dem Abendessen gibt es Nachtisch. Hoher Zuckerkonsum gilt nach aktuellem Forschungsstand als einer der bedeutendsten Risikofaktoren für Demenzerkrankungen, insbesondere für Alzheimer und vaskuläre Demenz. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass die Pflegekassen das nicht wissen. Die Werte einer Gesellschaft zeigen sich auch daran, wie sie mit den Ältesten umgeht. Das Einzige, was dich davor schützt in so einem Heim zu landen, ist eine starke und intakte Familie.

@ben_brechtken Wenn ich nochmal anfangen würde, würde ich was mit equal weight all world nehmen…

Wie sieht ein gutes ETF-Depot aus? Wie viele ETFs, welche ETFs, welche prozentuale Aufteilung?

@perryonxdotcom @QuetzalPhoenix Agreed. The joke I know here (as German) is that there is no hills our mountains so they had to evolve their height instead

@ShachiGambhir Stare is famous. Just google for: Reddit Germany stare

Just spent a few days in Germany, and it’s easily the least welcoming country ever. People constantly stare at you with weird faces, strangers on trains will deliberately block the seats next to them. The overall vibe is hostile. Regretting every penny spent here.

@markeatsmeat There is a book called “the fiber menace” that relates to this..

I’ve been experimenting with fiber. I’ve been trying to hit the RDA for fiber which for me is ~38 g/day, mostly from foods like sprouted oats, raw fruit, potatoes, and cooked vegetables. Here’s what I’ve noticed: • Fiber helps with satiety • Fiber increases stool volume • Increased stool volume seems to increase colonic distension • I often notice low-grade irritability & subdued energy when stool volume is high • A good, complete bowel movement often improves mood & energy immediately I don’t experience much gas or bloating, which makes me think this is primarily about mechanical load & stretch in the colon. My current theory is that in some people, increased stool volume leads to colonic distension, which increases vagal afferent signaling and suppresses energy & mood until clearance occurs. This doesn’t mean fiber is universally bad. It does mean that dose, form, and context matter more than people usually acknowledge. Personally, I feel much better on a low or zero fiber diet.

@Thermobolic Check Ayran. Turkish salted yoghurt drink, great for hot weather.

Salt your milk. If you drink a ton of milk like I do, you can end up sodium deficient. Milk has a ton of potassium and calcium but little sodium. Calcium and potassium are excitatory. Sodium is kind of a stabilizer, dampening the effects. Tons of potassium and calcium with little sodium can put you into a state that feels like anxiety. I experienced this today and fixed it by supplementing sodium. 1 gram of sodium was enough to chill me out. I think I'll start supplementing 1g 3x / day. Important for people who drink lots of milk and eat lots of fruit - not eating regular meals that you would naturally put salt on.

@greg16676935420 In Germany you can eat it the whole year.

Be careful out there. The McRib usually comes back right before a major world event.

this is not super villian physiognomy. you need to recalibrate your physiognomy radar. this is textbook trickster physiognomy. court jester physiognomy. this guy will separate you from your silver and cast a little trickster demon onto your house and family line. obviously.

@Hit_the_Books In case you didn’t know this topic yet: haemochromatosis

since my high iron blood test 2 weeks ago i finally stopped eating red meat for the first time in almost 4 years. not for good, just to see what would happen. literally everything resolved - no longer tired/need naps - intense focus - BM quality significantly improved - food intolerances like gluten went away - can tolerate oats and beans again - can tolerate supplements again red meat every day just does not work for me. i dont give 2 fcks what carnivore zealots have to say. i've tried it all. i've tried red meat only, i've tried red meat and fruit, i've tried red meat and fiber, i've tried red meat and rice. none of it works when i do it several times a week. so instead of being dumb and listening to idiots on the internet, i'm just going to go to a bit more balanced of an approach. single ingredient foods still (obviously), avoiding nightshades, avoiding sugar (and limiting to 1 fruit serving/day), eating some fiber, eating some veggies, eating chicken, having a piece of bread, eating an egg here and there, not being afraid of small amounts of dairy, and taking some key supplements like selenium, zinc, and electrolytes the whole point of doing daily tracking, monitoring how you're feeling, running blood tests, is to ultimately feel good. so when you find out what makes YOU feel good, just do it. don't wait for approval from people on the internet who try to sell you products or sell you their course, just do you. that's the best health advice i can give
