That includes tea bags. They're usually made from woven polypropylene and shed microplastics like crazy into your cup of tea!

I tear the teabag open and pour the leaves in. They pretty much sink to the bottom of the mug. You just have to remember that they're there otherwise you get a surprise at the end. ๐Ÿ˜‘

I buy dumb things, but it's getting harder to do.

It's getting to the point where I'm going to have to buy appliance and physically remove the electronics I don't want in there.

The trouble is, if I were them, I would code the appliance to stop functioning if the microphone fails. That means I will eventually have to clone, modify, and reflash the microprocessor.

I really don't want to make a business out of that because I really have better things to do. But I see this coming.

I would not go on statins.

Cholesterol has a number of functions in the body. And your body is probably doing something to bring it into long term balance.

It happens to be an antioxidant, similar in action to how grease and oil in a machine prevent oxidation by coating surfaces.

Did you get heavy metal toxicity testing done by any chance?

Another thought is if you have been on a diet containing a lot of trans fats and seed oils, over time you body stores it in the cells. Now that you're eating saturated fats, the body will be exchanging that stored fat and flushing it out of the body. It can mobilize that fat via cholesterol so it might be a detoxification process going on.

Anyway, I'm not an expert on this. I would just let my body do it's thing if I'm otherwise healthy and resist the temptation to intervene with pharmaceuticals.

Oh come now.

Jumping directly to an ad hominem attack on my intelligence is disappointing.

Are you like, a 10 year old boy or something? Because even as a burn that response lacked any flare whatsoever.

Come to think of it, my 9 year old daughter can do a far superior job at a personal put down than that.

Try again, and this time put some effort into it please.

Excellent doco and I loved the humorous angle.

And your dive into Canola oil may actually explain why so many Canadians are retarded.

Oh I thought this was raw tallow! I for some reason didn't see the word "Soap" on the packaging.

The whole political uniparty PR is cringe.

"Hey look at us doing everyday human things just like you everyday humans".

It's like AI got handed the reigns and told to convince the people that politicians aren't reptilian aliens from hell, so it's spitting out cheesy, creepy social ops where everyone has more or less five fingers.

That's a beast! Is it functional or decorative?

I have a half finished project making some practice gladius swords out of plywood and steel bar stock that will be identical in weight, dimension, and balance as the real ones.

GM!

Today I'm rehydrating ceremonial tobacco from last year's harvest in order to destem and ferment it so that it will be ready for use later in the year.
