  • What's going on with the Russian link previews?

    Is there some service which is crawling the links in Russia?

  • <br>
    Jump
  • &lt;br&gt;

    actually:

    &lt;br&gt;

    but only sometimes.

  • I meant queue, not cue. It's a pun. It means that ketobros usually have a list of bad arguments, like a playlist. I usually fill my bingo card in 1-2 comments.

    though not at all a recent one

    go on, how old is it?

    The downsides of slight-to-moderate overindulgence of salt, mostly high blood pressure through water retention, can be offset by a more active lifestyle. (Sweat more, hydrate more, flush the excess out.)

    The downsides are many more. The hypertension is just the tip of the iceberg. And "sweating it out while working" is a weak excuse, especially irrelevant today.

    You're trying to make it into some huge necessity at a dose you don't even comprehend, you just assume that it has to be high. We already know that the very processed stuff is bad and it's usually full of salt. That's because salt is both a preservative and it makes food hyperpalatable, thus making it more marketable, more tasty, more desirable. That alone should tell you that salt isn't naturally common. The brain turns up those excitement responses for stuff that is rare: salt, sugar, fat, all in high density. Our tongues are so sensitive to salt intake that we literally adjust our taste.

    In terms of natural herbivores, I'll have to remind you that salt licks don't grow as formations in grasslands or forests.

    Ketobros love to defend salt because salt is very important to them. It's a preservative, and preserving meat is an old practice. Add salted cheese or butter for extra. And few carnivore/lion diet types eat unsalted raw meat, like... lions.

    And then we have these people: http://www.scielo.br/j/abc/a/8yHr8tMsx5hB6s3sbQZRzKC/?lang=en (note: these people are being cleansed from the Amazon now by ranchers, feed growers and miners)

    Stop trying to make it harder than it looks.

  • These two ancestral Y. pestis genomes were identified from a Swedish individual with Neolithic Farmer (that is, Anatolian-derived) ancestry (5035–4856 cal. bp)4 and an individual from Latvia with hunter-gatherer ancestry (5300–5050 cal. bp)10, respectively. Although these genomes are of very similar age and ancestral to all other plague genomes available, the two studies arrive at different conclusions: Rascovan et al. argue that their finding supports a role of plague in the Neolithic decline whereas Susat et al. conclude that these early plague forms are probably a result of sporadic zoonotic events.

    Time to check on the mooFlu in the US.

  • Putin is waging a war of aggression, for conquest. Nuclear attacks would contaminate the land and reduce its overall value.

  • Plastering agricultural land with parking lots and suburban sprawl is a crime against humanity. This wasteful land use needs to end.

  • I do remember, yes. Eggs are still bad, high cholesterol levels are still bad, eggs still raise cholesterol levels. TMAO is still bad. Eggs still raise TMAO.

    Industry pseudoscience is exceedingly dangerous. What the egg industry studies (and their friends in cheese) do usually is to swap their object of desire with something else that raises cholesterol; or they use people who already have high cholesterol. Most people aren't aware that there's a cholesterol plateau which, if already achieved, hides dose effects.

    take the numbers with a grain of salt.

    oh, and salt is still bad.

  • Looks like saturated fat. Don't eat it. Queue ketobro pseudoscience.


    Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios of total and cardiometabolic mortality for 1-tablespoon/day increment in cooking oil/fat consumption. Forest plots show the multivariable HRs of total (a) and cardiometabolic (b) mortality associated with 1-tablespoon/day increment in butter, margarine, corn oil, canola oil, and olive oil consumption. HRs were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, race, education, marital status, household income, smoking, alcohol, vigorous physical activity, usual activity at work, perceived health condition, history of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer at baseline, Healthy Eating Index-2015, total energy intake, and consumption of remaining oils where appropriate (butter, margarine, lard, corn oil, canola oil, olive oil, and other vegetable oils). Horizontal lines represent 95% CIs

  • Is bombing a dense refugee camp cheaper than operating a death camp? And does the Remote Killing aspect of it change the cost equation?

    Can someone do the math?

  • When you get into a car, everyone nearby becomes, at best, a competitor. Often, an enemy.

    It's an embodiment of The Rat Race and of atomization.

  • Grains and beans being subsidized would be great, but it would probably make them negative in price. You'd get paid to get them from a store.

    People who think that "vegan diet" or "plant based diet" means "you eat mostly fruits and veggies" are simply and dangerously wrong.

  • There are lots of Americans online who believe that artificial sweeteners are great and technology can fix anything, such as replacing the evil of sugar with something else and keeping the nice consumer product.

    Most people don't even understand blood sugar levels and are afraid of a line going up. It's pointless to talk to them, they don't want to change and will reject anything that actually means change.
