@icedquinn RFK Jr is right about almost everything related to food, but I feel like people are putting way too much faith in him. There are plenty of alternative food and drinks that don't use seed oils or beet sugars and they aren't that expensive. You don't even need to go to a farmer's market or health food store to buy them, just shop in the outer perimeter of your store. Meijer has a huge selection of cane sugar sodas.
@PurpCat@beardalaxy Back in health class in high school our health teacher told us that in parties that it's a good idea to actually finish a drink before getting up to talk to someone, use the bathroom, or something like that. Otherwise, someone might piss in it when you are not looking.
@xianc78@beardalaxy a while back i got fanta at a furry con with 2 friends who at the time were chill autists (around the time the nerds got MKULTRA'd) and they could not stop saying "goes down salty" because of a certain man who well, mixed it with something else.
@djsumdog@icedquinn The rise of the anti-fluoride movement has been going on for a while now, even before Trump appointed RFK. There have been fluoride lawsuits going on for the past few years. Derrick Broze has been covering some of the lawsuits.
There's been a lot of propaganda too that supports waste products being dumped into our food supply. People really believe putting Fluoride salts (industrial waste products) somehow strengthens teeth. I knew one guy who even said it was the cheapest thing we could do for poor kids dental health.
But the trouble is, those people who have been taught to believe the religion of fluoride will not be willing to even entertain the idea they could be wrong, and Orange Fascists + Scratchy Voice Anti-Vaxer supporting the idea that maybe we shouldn't be putting medication directly in the water supply just re-enforces that religious belief that they are the ones who are trying to kill us all ... :blobcatgooglyshrug:
@xianc78 i think the problem here is that line go uppers are obligated to absolute minmaxing society against the bottom line. so it doesn't matter if beet juice causes less diabetes, because beet juice costs more than grinding baby skulls.
@djsumdog@icedquinn@xianc78 with the nonstop lying and fraud coming out of the medical industry, at this point it's worth reconsidering our previously held assumptions of what's safe and effective vs what's a scam at best and dangerous at worst. if they've been fudging the data for the past couple decades, why not the previous few decades too?
@skylar@icedquinn@djsumdog@xianc78 The problem with being skeptical of certain medical practices is that you will inevitability find yourself in the company of crackpots and grifters. There are reasonable things to be wary of in the modern, chemical and microplastic-laden foodscape, for example, but it has a habit of getting lost in the autistic screeching of people who believe in medbeds, raw water, and chugging Ivermectin by the bucketload.
@djsumdog@icedquinn@skylar@H_A_Copington I think the real solution is to get the right amount of vitamins in. Vitamin B6 + Magnesium can produce serotonin naturally.
I think SSRIs are in the range of totally worthless to causing way more problems than they're suppose to solve. They should have fallen out of use decades ago.
At the same time, one of my best friends needs an anti-psychotic. One pill allows him to keep a job, keep his friends, be a functional member of society and not have the sheriff called on him. He was off his meds for a few months and it was not a fun time. He fully apologized to everyone; defending nothing of what he did. He remembered doing all of it and felt terrible for being off his gourd.
So yea, I agree. Throwing everything out can be a disaster. We don't have any real informed choice or consent for what does work, why it works and what doesn't.
i've started taking a magnesium supplement for sleep and it seems to be helping, and it really kickstarts the dream factory. like every night, multiple dreams. it's nice.
@icedquinn Okay RFK got one thing wrong. It's that the solution to seed oils isn't beef tallow. Coconut oil blows both seed oils and beef tallow out of the water.
@skylar@icedquinn@djsumdog@xianc78 emulate lifestyles and diets of those living long healthy lives and avoid ones of people miserable and in pain in their 50s and 60s.
