Raw Beer comments

Keto and Paleo diets are usually pushed by the same types who fall for the conspiracy theories etc.

Oh, you mean they are less likely to blindly follow mainstream narratives?

A friend did the Paleo diet and despite his doctor telling him it was his diet causing repeating kidney stones, he refused to believe it. What a tit.

Well, according to kidney.org

"Possible causes [of kidney stones] include drinking too little water, exercise (too much or too little), obesity, weight loss surgery, or eating food with too much salt or sugar. Infections and family history might be important in some people. Eating too much fructose correlates with increasing risk of developing a kidney stone."

So assuming the story is true and that he is your friend, you should tell him to switch from paleo to keto, or better yet to carnivore...

Russia and China can make peace with a Japan in NATO.

It would be best for Japan to not be associated with NATO since they are actively attacking Russia.

Japan should remain neutral and maintain friendly ties with both sides.

NATO sure likes throwing money away!

The message I got when I attended a presentation by someone doing related research is that as temperatures shift the optimal area for these reefs also shift. So they might observe bleaching in some areas because it is now too hot, but they'll find them thriving in nearby areas where it was previously too cold. Articles tend to avoid mentioning the latter...

It's obvious there's pro Russian or Russian posters on this site.

It's obvious there's pro Neocon posters on this site.

No! It will only lead to trouble for Japan.

NATO is not a defensive organization. It is offensive; used by the US to maintain its hegemony.

I suspect Kishida is being pressured by the US to contribute to NATO's activities.

Japan should stay away from NATO, and instead improve its ties with Russia.

Equality of opportunity is a good thing, but focusing on equality of outcome will only lead to problems.

This is for example a very clear review of evidence of the extra health risks associated with the carnivore diet, what criticism do you have about the data used, the methodologies or the conclusions of this report?

Hmmm, nice graphics, but it looks like a whole bunch of hypothetical ideas based on associations and assumptions but with little actual evidence. I don't have time read it all, but with a quick scan I found a bunch of debunked stuff (e.g., Okinawans consuming very little meat).

The author concludes that consuming meat increases inflammation and cardiovascular disease. But what we observe in people who follow the carnivore diet is the complete opposite.

One thing the author wrote which I agree with is the following:

"It is interesting to note that a number of clinical trials which have utilized animal-product-rich diets (low-carbohydrate, high-protein or high-fat diets) in comparison to more mixed diets that are higher in carbohydrate and lower in fat demonstrate benefit in CVD risk factors, despite inherently reduced plant food consumption and increased saturated fat intake [39]."

Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

There is no evidence of extra health risks being associated with the carnivore diet.

Of course there is, how else would you explain that respected institutions of medical science clearly conclude so based on the scientific literature?

No, not based on the scientific literature, but rather on their funders. How else would you explain that "respected" institutions of medical science fire their experienced dieticians if they refuse to promote products (e.g. artificial sweeteners) produced by companies that provide considerable funds to the institution. Or fire surgeons (e.g. Shawn Baker) who instead of automatically recommending surgery to their patients, they suggest first considering dietary changes.

Did you try carnivore? Or keto?

Yes, but it's all easier said than done. You're juggling work and life and you're at a convenient store looking for lunch. There's not much that will, at reasonable cost, fill you up and be keto or carnivore.

Yeah, finding stuff when you're out can be challenging. But there is no reason why one would need to eat 3 meals per day. Two or even one meal per day can be beneficial, and is easier to do on a carnivore diet.

Did you try carnivore? Or keto?

Why recommend unhealthy options that come with extra health risks?

There is no evidence of extra health risks being associated with the carnivore diet. But there is plenty showing that the carnivore diet reverses a range of health issues (diabetes, obesity, autoimmune, high blood pressure...).

Had tried every diet, had tried swimming a few times a week without any noticeable results.

Did you try carnivore? Or keto?

I’m just observing the conformity. It’s incredible.

Indeed, I also observed the same conformity. Those who believe in fake meats being healthy also believe the shots are safe and effective, IVM is a veterinary medicine, Trump is literally Hitler, Biden is sharp as a tack, government and other officials are qualified and honest,...

If you care about your health, eat real meat.

"Real meat" is a well described risk factor for heart problems, the recommendation is to avoid eating all kinds of meat and instead increase plant based food in your diet,

That is indeed the narrative that is being pushed, mainly from questionnaires where participants are asked what they eat; and they include things like hotdogs, lasagna with meat sauce .... as eating meats. But there is no legit evidence against eating real meat (e.g. steaks). The same can't be said about the ingredients of these fake meats.

I predict a huge wave of heart trouble because of the unnatural health choices many people have made from 2021 onwards.

Yes, I also think much of the cardiovascular care over the next decade or two will be focused on treating the harm caused by those choices.

 the WHO will be given power to impose restrictive measures such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates.

Bodily autonomy and the right to refuse people who want to insert things into your body against your will is paramount and inviolable.

Yes, especially since many of the approved and mandated products are increasingly been proven to have serious adverse effects and low or no effectiveness.

Before anyone is granted any power, there must be an open, honest, and in-depth discussion of what happened in the last pandemic. Until then, no thank you!

This would be a different scenario if people didn't start fires.

Yeah, last year officials were saying that the vast majority of fires were in Canada were started by people. Now why would people want to do this....?

Oh, so this is why many people distrust healthcare professionals, not because the latter did anything wrong...

Riiiight....

Another good question is: who is running the country now? Because Joe certainly isn't...

If Biden stands down Vice President Kamala Harrison becomes the candidate.

Now that's scary!

I think they want to have Newsom, but they worry about the appearance of having him take the spot of what many think should go to Harris, a female woman of color....

Trump is not great, but he's much better than anyone the Dems have lined up.

Suddenly, RFKjr will look great to so many Americans. No wonder CNN played dirty tricks to keep him out of the debate.

Why is she talking for him ?

Good question. Joe should be saying this, but she's the one who can speak coherently.

If Trump wins, he'll demand more money for "protection".

If Biden wins, he'll lead us to a major war.

Let's hope RFKjr gets elected, great candidate except when it comes to israel....

Trump pushes falsehoods

i.e. not going along with the controlled narrative....

Over the years of checking out mainstream and social media I have come to better understand that: the function of politicians is to enrich themselves and their friends at the expense of tax payers with the aid of the MSM. Social media is filled with intentional dis/misinformation and clueless idiots, but it also has some brilliant informative content that can't be found in the MSM.

Strange how Denmark wants to tax cows and pigs to help fight global warming, while giving permission to Ukraine to use Denmark-supplied weapons outside of Ukraine. I doubt those are "green" weapons....

As there's little fermentation of plant material

And much more fermentation of animal material, circular logic is not an argument.

...but an understanding of metabolism is. Our bodies break down and absorb most (all?) the animal material. Very little left over to be fermented in the gut.

A famous quote comes to mind "You WILL eat ze bugs"

Yeah, they want us to eat ze bugs, but when they get together they eat meat.

Avoiding super-healthy legumes and grains, for example, is rather bizarre.

LOL

In addition to looking at the alleged environmental impacts, we should also seriously consider the impact of these measures on our health. The mainstream narratives of both of these issues have very much been corrupted.

Hopefully sanity will be restored... soon

Humans produce the same ... ahem... gases.

Only if you eat certain veggies and carbs. Those who follow a keto diet (especially carnivore) don't fart...

Complete scam.

Yes, most certainly is.

But as Europe is sensibly shifting to the right, there's hope such a terrible law could be repealed before 2030.

Hear, hear!

These BYD vehicles should be banned from Japan due to data security and privacy risks. They are collecting information on every driver, every trip they take and areas around Japan where they drive. Cameras all over them filming.

I'm less concerned about China spying on me than my own government spying on me.

Having said that, I'd never buy one due to dependability and safety issues.

This is a true leader, One who genuinely cares about the safety and security of his country.

Yeah, that's why so many israelis are fleeing...

Praising a genocidal maniac is actually a very bad look.

Yeah, reminds me of those who praise that dude with the little mustache.

What a nasty , petty country Israel is.

Always has been, and always will be. It never would have been tolerated if it it wasn't for America's support (complicity). Time to restore historical Palestine.

israel's nastiness is so over the top that it can no longer be hidden, but it was always there...

You are a professional, credentialed scientist with a PhD in a related field according to a previous post.

Somewhat related, yes.

I hope to learn more than I’d learn from the podcast/Joe Rogan crowd.

Why, what is wrong with the Joe Rogan crowd? He gets to talk to top experts in the field, who will never be allowed on the Pfizer-sponsored MSM. You might learn something, if you're discerning enough to weed out the obvious imposters...
