Many people’s hormones are out of balance due to a diet with lots of sugar and fructose. It never hurts to cut down and see if things improve

That photo gives me anxiety

You can use forks of firefox that dont build in the tracking, such as mullvad browser.

There is no difference between carbs as sugar and carbs. They all end up in the blood stream as glucose.

Fructose is really bad and usually doesn’t get converted to glucose.

Fiber is not absorbed by the body and just passes through.

Carbohydrates are not essential for human life. You can be perfectly healthy without eating them. The body does use glucose for blood cells and about 15% of brain metabolism, but that can be created by the liver on a as needed basis.

There are people who differentiate carbohydrates based on how quickly they arrive in the blood stream as glucose, in my view that’s a unnecessary distinction. Elevated blood glucose is really dangerous for the body, regardless of how delayed it is. That’s why the body prioritizes burning the glucose off first when it’s elevated in the body.

What function does elevated glucose have? (I.e. why eat carbohydrates)

• increase blood sugar for hypoglycemia
• raise insulin levels
• some athletes believe it helps their performance

The sports term is carb loading, and for non-fat adapted athletes it does help their endurance, prevents bonking. But for fat adapter athletes who don’t eat carbs, it’s unnecessary as they don’t bonk. The blood only carries 5g of glucose, and when you use it all up you can bonk, the body does not store glucose at all… the body stores fat. So people who burn fat don’t bonk because they don’t run out of energy

What benefit does fiber have?

• reduces transit time of all food
• reduces absorption of other food
• can be converted into short chain fatty acids in the intestines

Obviously, reducing the nutrition from the food you eat is only a “good” thing if your diet is unhealthy.

The SCFA’s are interesting, you can eat fiber and have some of it turn into fat by bacteria, or you can just eat fat directly and skip the middle man. This is the whole “fiber feeds the gut” argument you hear, gut research is still early stages. Its not clear what the ideal biome is, but whatever you eat will determine what lives in the gut. The bacteria will adapt to your diet and stabilize in about 9 months.

Some people believe fiber helps with constipation because of the reduced transit time, that isn’t actually true. Fiber is actual causal of constipation (in one RCT, the only fiber RCT that exists…)

Haha. This isn’t evil… if you want evil ideas let’s talk about moving walls when the player isn’t looking

I’ve been playing the blue prince recently, it’s put me into a mood :)

Depends on the context of the game. If you have clues, maps, items, mechanics that would assist an adventurer then having a maze with islands would be rewarding for the invested player.

I.e. leaving footsteps in the sand, or being able to paint walls, or leave breadcrumbs, or finding a old incomplete map

no loops where you can return to a point without retracing your original path

The downside of not having little floating islands in a maze is you can solve them by always going right (or left).

How do they make any money to afford lawyers?

I can’t imagine why people wouldn’t want a ministry of truth validating everything they say and see

Voyager opens it in voyager on your home instance. It’s really nice

Math is not a crime

There are some really bitter people on Lemmy. That’s why there are so many downvotes everywhere. Some people just need to go outside and touch grass… Which is a form of traveling.

It really is. Not even a big trip. Anything that changes your perspective is very helpful. Putting everything into context.

Sorry for all the hate you got on this post.

Any amount of external carbs will cause the release of some amount of insulin.

They could make baked cheese crackers (so no carbs) and then their daily snacking is just fat.

It’s a interesting article. They didn’t mention stress and it’s relationship to blood glucose.

Stress drives cortisol which drives blood glucose. High blood glucose feeds cancer growth (warberg effect, metabolic theory of cancer).

Anything that can bring blood glucose levels down would be good.

Yeah, I was able to set it up using the openwrt interface luci. Just ignore the other stuff, experiment in luci until you dial it in

Typically surrogates carry a couples baby to term, they are not genetically related to the child. The procedure is done via IVF.

What you describe is having 100ish children, with 100 different biological mothers… An different thing entirely.

In most of the world it’s illegal to sell a child.
