@Kruton Important insight. Many people report "creatine sickness" and the usual answer is "that shouldn't be possible". Thank you for sharing

@Sugar I try not to pay too much attention to the outrage engine ("the media"), but I prefer to read books from great men in great eras. To me, it is clear that a vital metabolism coincides with fiery faith.

There is too much nuance here for this one paragraph to be sufficient, but I will summarize for the sake of brevity anyway. Christianity is so unpopular these days that it could not even field an Inquisition. Nor could Christians tear down Pagan temples, of which there are many, without a tremendous popular uprising. Taking the whole historical picture into account, it is clear, to me, that the faith you have a grievance with is not on the ascent when compared to the past.

@AdonaiLukather This detail is not central to your question, but I want to add that the Desert Fathers, who authored the principles of Christian monasticism, recognized that "not eating" was more harmful than helpful.

From Abba Poemen the Great:
"Once a monk approached St. Poemen to ask him about fasting, for he had heard about those who ate only every other day. St. Poemen admitted that in his younger days he had met those who practiced even more severe regimens eating only every three, four, even seven days. But he advised against it: "The Fathers tried all this out as they were able and they found it preferable to eat every day, but just a small amount. They have left us this royal way, which is light.""

@Sugar Do you mean the modern decline in religion? Disbelief has not been so widespread in quite a long time. When people were healthier and more vital they considered it important to praise the All-Father.

@peaty-runescape Intuition tells me they will find that it's not toxic if she's married and the sperm comes from one man.
