Zoë Harcombe's primary value appears to be providing reading material for a specific audience of anti-establishment contrarians. https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zo%C3%AB_Harcombe
Thank you for your civil and balanced reply. I don't mind that contrarians like Seyfried exist and ask questions. They appeal to my contrarian and skeptic nature. What I have an issue with is a medical doctor/researcher…
I wouldn't page David Sinclair about any supplements. See: Resveratrol.
That doctor (Seyfried) is not a great doctor either. He is an antiestablishment, contrarian ideologue who omits data and arranges his facts to fit his hypothesis. Sure, cancer might be a metabolic disease to some…
I think this is a solid take. Not a hater of Elon, but the last year has made it difficult to remain impartial on anything about him. Billionaires, you're not sending your best.
Maybe you missed the part where I did not dismiss the results of the study. I simply took the next logical step and pointed out that vitamin D has not been proven as a preventative or cure for COVID. That's right.…
This is a strange way of titling that article, I think. Not very responsible journalism, but I get that this is the kind of title that generates clicks. Vitamin D doesn't "fight" COVID directly. Vitamin D plays a…
Tragically accurate comment.
So data is the new gold... I'll stick with actual gold.
I found this article to be unnecessarily complex. Can banks and lending institutions create money out of thin air? Contrary to the title of this article, in the US the answer is yes. Money is created by the "stroke of a…
Shouldn't be difficult to get a long gun you have valid ID, no felonies, no history of violent use of firearms (or threatening display), no sex offenses, no misdemeanors and don't admit to marijuana use. If you want to…
Although beef and other animal ruminants have always been part of the planet's carbon cycle where carbon sources are kept in balance by carbon sinks. What knocks us out of balance is extracting carbon sources (ancient…
Brazil is the dominant food producer in the Western Hemisphere. I didn't mean to bring up soybeans with regard to deforestation (although it is a factor), I used the soybeans example to illustrate that livestock,…
This is true. Many people think that you can just get rid of livestock and grow kale. It doesn't work like that. Still others think you can get rid of livestock, which eliminates the need for feed crops, which then…
Q: If I give up meat, will Brazil reduce its cattle ranching? A: No. Brazil isn't raising livestock for the US or North America. Not even 1% of their livestock products are imported to the US.
Where does 50% of all fertilizer come from? Animal waste/manure. Where does the rest of fertilizer come from? It is synthesized from fossil fuels...
What is a net positive about "stop eating meat" unless you're livestock? From a nutrition perspective it's not a positive thing to "stop eating meat". Besides changing your diet there are hundreds of other net positive…
The supporting study: Flavonoid intake is associated with lower mortality in the Danish Diet Cancer and Health Cohort https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-11622-x "Dietary data were collected using a validated…
Um, people PREFER to be deluded and promised all the sweet things needed that prop up their belief systems. Hence the world is chock full of shysters, hucksters and snakeoil salesmen. I mean, case in point: who occupies…
