@Emilia That video is long.

Does she say it's dehydrating even when it's fully saturated with water?

I was thinking about using hyaluronic acid on my scalp to soften my skin. Maybe that would be a good way to keep your scalp "moistened with glucose", combining the glucose with hyaluronic acid.

@LetTheRedeemed Do you have a source for sugar absorbing easily through the skin?

@LetTheRedeemed The nitric oxide thing might explain why it works--NO is said to be what makes minoxidil work.

FYI, d-ribose and deoxyribose are not the same thing.

Bump. I just think this is so neat.

I find it disheartening that anyone would not notice the difference. Well I know I'm a highly sensitive person, so there's that.

I can eat a few grams of PUFA without noticing a difference, but just about any restaurant meal is going to make me feel bad. I start feeling a bit "cold" and mentally dull. I start spelling words wrong and forgetting things. Feeling deflated, low. Headache. And just a general gross feeling in my skin. Sometimes feeling like I can't breathe.

I don't know anything about the "depletion". I would think some people are just more sensitive than others. It's not like I've avoided PUFA like the plague. I've been eating a handful of Cheez-its here and there.

I can see PUFA being similar to estrogen. I think that's the real reason it's pushed by the government, along with everything estrogenic or serotonergic that reduces meaningful thinking and makes people likely to submit to authority.

Vitamin E helps a lot, but doesn't make me feel normal. Aspirin helps a PUFA headache.

I thought I'd give it a while to see if I get used to the format.

I still hate it, and I'm still not quite sure why.

Anyone else?

"The totalitarians of the 20th century had less influence over people's lives than the US government does now."

Is there any validity to that statement?
