  • Health effects associated with consumption of processed meat, sugar-sweetened beverages and trans fatty acids: a Burden of Proof study

    Study title… CNN title is only about meat.

    A meta-analysis of observational epidemiology

    All of the issues with epidemiology apply

    • association is not causation
    • hypothesis generating only
    • healthy user confounders
    • people eating meat are often eating high carbohydrate diets
    • metabolic context of the participants
    • food frequency questionnaires filled out yearly or every 4 years.

    I don’t have access to the paper, it hasn’t made it to the Free Academic circles yet, so I haven’t been able to read it.


    Is everything we eat associated with cancer? A systematic cookbook review

    I personally think the reason EVERYTHING is linked to cancer, as well as the massive surge in cancer since the 1900s, is all due to the modern metabolism (sugar burners) being very different then pre-1900 metabolism (fat burners)

    • High carbohydrate load, high blood glucose load, high insulin levels
    • Industrial Oil, systemic body inflammation
    • Agrochemical contamination of food supply, more systematic inflammation

    The problem with these observational studies is they don’t look at the modern metabolic context, so in this context, yes EVERYTHING is associated with cancer - because the studies arn’t looking at the right variables.

    This is exactly why hard science doesn’t use association to draw conclusions, epidemiology is hypothesis generating only

    If you haven’t read about the Metabolic Theory of Cancer I highly recommend giving it a read. It’s a much more compelling model, and explains the surge of cancer since 1900, as well as actionable steps to reduce incidence (reduce sugar and inflammation).

    Session was a good idea, but not implemented well

    All file attachments go to a central server I think in Canada

    They copied the signal protocol, and monero, to build their application but they removed perfect forward secrecy. Because it was hard to implement. This means of any session device ever gets compromised, somebody can look at the entire conversation from packets they captured on the wire

    I’m much more excited about simplex and briar



  • To be fair, they’re not messaging you. Their messaging your boyfriend. Different people get different advice.

    People’s Friends see red flags, and they want to tell their friend about it before they get into more trouble. That’s normal human behavior.

    Of course, you can prove, through a lifetime of good deeds and work, that you’re the exception. And I look forward to having a happy and committed life. But people will be doubtful, and that’s okay. Even if they never say it, they’re still thinking it. So it’s good that this is all out there in the public.
