I drink milk all day long, so I could never take it without proximity to dairy. I use armour ndt, which has to be digested for body usage.

Yes, look for user haidut

@Mossy , between that site abd this one, you wonder if ANY prepared food is safe. The best thing on these charts is plain chocolate m&m.

@the-MOUSE , from the process description:
"In addition, no salt product had high enough microplastics that could be conclusively recognized through FTIR testing"

I don't know if there is another kind of test that is better for microplastic.

@LucH -"For example, cells in your arteries require zinc. If zinc is not available, the body will substitute toxic cadmium for this metal. The result is arteries that are less flexible, leading to high blood pressure and damaged or cracked arterial walls. The body then tries to repair the damaged arteries by patching the cracks with plaque (=> cholesterol)."

This is new info to me. How much Zinc/how often for a person who won't eat oysters? I think I remember this is a mineral you don't want to overdo.

@happyhanneke said in I need x-rays:

Yes I do hold a smart phone for an extended period of time. I'm as addicted as anybody else

I try to prop my phone again something as much as possible so I am not actually holding it when I use it. I have been looking for something to hold with the phone in it when I do have to have it in hand, so I am touching it as little as possible.

@yerrag said in All things diabetes:

My own hot take (since I never had type 1 diabetes) is taking insulin injections will keep you type 1 diabetic just as the more you wear glasses the more your eyesight deteriorates. Insulin is overrated. You don't rely on it to absorb sugar as potassium is what does that. Insulin only lowers blood sugar by signalling the liver to convert blood sugar to fats, among many other things it does

Would you have time to expound on this? I can remember Peat, I think, saying one day insulin would be considered malpractice in treating a diabetic. What would be your thoughts if you knew a type 1?
