Milk

  • Big Milk is so powerful, I've had older women in China ask me how I got so tall if I don't drink milk.

    This is China, with no history of drinking cows milk and like 90% of the population is lactose intolerant.

  • Supposedly this is (of course) a lie/mischaracterization by RFK, that the study is comparing t/sperm levels of kids from the 70s with kids now, and so the kids from the 70s might have had higher levels but now they are in their 60s so...

  • I'll fall back on my default null hypotheses here.
    The effect is probably minimal if it exists at all. If there is any effect, it is probably negligible if you are doing the big things right. Your body is smart, and responds to changes in its environment with an eye towards improved survival and fitness. It is not a simple CICO machine.

    you could hypothesize and these rambling thought experiments...or you could watch the video, and see there are several studies saying the effect exists and isn't minimal

  • I think we saw what will happen with the whole jobs data fiasco. Some report will come out saying autism rates are the same, the govt will claim fake news , fire someone, then come out with their own numbers in black sharpie showing rates are super low, the best numbers. And no child deaths recently either, none.

  • I'd echo the tip previous, that vegan-substitutes for things (like cheese) are not going to be exactly the same, so don't go in to things thinking "this has to be exactly like X". Instead of cheese sauce, it's just a really nice sauce made from cashews and potatoes and carrots and nutritional yeast.
    .
    Also cravings fade with time. I used to think I couldn't go vegan because I loved pizza and ice cream so much. Now I don't really miss them. And it's easier than ever now to indulge those cravings when you really want to, with all the great options now.
