so, i was talking about flavonoids and wanted to post a summary. i still have some reading to do, but... i can't find any actual scien...

science is about the method underlying it. it's just as ignorant to write it off without testing it as it is to use it without any evi...

just to put this down, clearly. what do i think about "herbal medicine"? well, what does the science say? herbal medicine that...

so, i had a little talk with my landlord, who decided he wanted to get a rent increase in before they froze it. status: denied . well, let...

grargh. let's start again on monday.

hi. i received your message in response to my previous fax, and i've tried to reach your office a few times by phone with no answer. i c...

diamonds have some use in optics and lasers, but we don't need heaps of them. it's the kind of economic activity that just simply ...

the sad reality with mining diamonds is that it's just another form of carbon extraction. i'd rather mine graphene. it's far m...

there's certain minerals that humans need, but we neither need gold nor diamonds. this is just a net detriment to the environment, and...

you can tell me to escape to america. and, i might, in the end. but, you have to tear down the wall, first. tear down that wall!

i mean, it's clear that our governments are going to continue to take the most conservative response possible. sadly. the canada i grew ...

the flip side is this: if you're young, stop getting tested. it's an easily defeatable virus. you're fucking everything up.

my position is clear enough - the state needs to back off and let the virus spread amongst young people. the elderly have been given full ...

and, here's a twist: the glucosides appear to be anti-oxidants, but the aglycones of the same flavonoids may actually be mutagenic. :|...

to be clear: my view is that if your body can't absorb this, it doesn't really want it. i'm not taking flavonoid pills....

ok, i found a detailed walkthrough of flavonoid metabolism that is not the answer i want but is a big step towards finding it. i had to lo...

no. wait. i'm hungry. that article wasn't about naturally occurring aglycone flavonoids, it was about hydrolyed extracts, whic...

so, there's six types of flavonoids. & there's in turn six of the first type, anthocyanidins: 1) cyanidin 2) delphinidin 3)...

it's bad news for flavonoids, it seems. they don't get absorbed... apparently, the problem is that flavonoids tend to come attache...

hey, math nerds dabble. math nerds on disability don't do anything but :)

obviously, i'm oversimplifying and being a little dramatic to make a point - with flair. but, my point holds.

when you eat a cow for lunch, your body converts that cow into grain, and then does what it will with it. the difference is in the vitamin...

and, what does your body do with protein? get this. it converts it into carbs.

what does your body do with fat, then? it burns it. it's energy... well, before we invented electricity, we used to use olive oil to...

eggs have a ridiculous nutritional profile. they're probably the most healthy food on the planet.

it's like eggs. people think that, because eggs are high in cholesterol, they're bad for your heart. but, your body breaks down ...

so, no - i'm not particularly concerned about consuming protein. besides - it's carbs that build muscle, not protein. well, techni...

so, i think this is what we've got: carotenoids (not including pro-vitamin a) 1) lutein 2) zeaxanthin 3) lycopene 4) phytofluene ...

i just want to clarify a point, because it seems like the pigs are retarded. obviously, when i said i moved to pasta because i wanted to ...

ok, i'm taking a step back because i clearly missed a lot of phytonutrients. i'm almost  a vegetarian, and may end up cutting out ...

if i have to, i'll settle for kale, which should get me a ton of a, at least.
