"Some scientists have even argued that our near permanent exposure to artificial light, either through streetlights or mobile phones and tablets, represents a novel carcinogen through triggering disruptions in the body's biological clock, something that has been linked to breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancer. Studies have even suggested that continued light exposure during nighttime hours through shift work may facilitate cancer growth through lowering levels of the hormone melatonin."

Crazy that our eyes, the one organ dedicated to perceiving LIGHT, might have an influence on our brain's production of necessary chemicals?

Is it rocket science or is blue light killing you?

That was a heavy load indeed! Looks you could handle it just right 🫡

Be thankful for naughty nostriches who spam the network!

Attacks will come one way or another. Best to incentivize hardening infrastructure earlier rather than later.

Simple, sharable steps to adopt a Proper Human Diet

1. Eliminate anything containing added sugar from your diet.

This sugar provides no benefit to your body and leads to high blood sugar, high insulin levels & chronic inflammation. This includes fruit juices which in many cases contain more sugar than a Coke.

2. Eliminate all grains & legumes from your diet. Wheat, rice, oats, corn, soybeans, etc. These have very little in the way of meaningful nutrition and contain 2 things to avoid; i. starch-long chains of sugar that break down into sugar in your body & ii. gluten-like inflammatory proteins that lead to chronic inflammation.

3. Eliminate seed oils from your diet. Canola, soybean, corn, peanut, sunflower, safflower, etc. These oils are new to the human diet and contain too much Omega-6 fatty acids that research has shown to lead to chronic inflammation in some people.

*** These 1st 3 steps will remove 100% of ultra-processed food from your diet and will give immediate results (in weeks) for 80% of people.

4. Make sure each meal contains meat, seafood or eggs. These foods were eaten by your ancestors for millions of years and are very nutrient-dense. Although many main-stream sources claim that these foods are inflammatory, we've seen bloodwork from 10,000's of people whose inflammatory markers go down on meat.

Carbohydrate Knob theory: Some people can tolerated more carbs than others. People who fatten easily or develop diabetes easily need to turn down their carb intake knob closer to zero. Young, active people can tolerate more natural carbs in their diet. Remember, there is no Need for carbs in the diet. As you turn down the Carb Intake Knob more & more you will be eating more meat, eggs & seafood...

Snacking: Snacking is never healthy, regardless of the snack. Eat discrete meals during the day separated by periods of not eating. Eating due to boredom or stress is never a healthy choice.

Plant Toxins: All plants use chemical defense chemicals to protect their parts, this is inarguable. Some plants are more toxic than others. Some people can tolerate these toxins more than others. Anyone suffering from inflammatory or auto-immune disease should try 90 days of Carnivore to see if they are reacting to the plant chemicals.

DAIRY: All mammals (you) can tolerate dairy as an infant. At about age 4-8 years most people (70% +/-) become lactose intolerant. That is not the only problem with dairy. Many people also become sensitive to the Caseins & Wheys in milk. This manifests in inflammatory conditions of the skin, joints, gut, mental... Dairy also contains caso-morphins that mimic morphine in the brain and can make dairy addictive to some people. This is good for keeping babies interested in mother's milk, but can cause adults to over eat/drink dairy for the good feeling. Some cheeses actually concentrate the caso-morphin content...

OK, that a good beginner course, I will answer every good question you ask here...

What’s the biggest misconception about #Bitcoin

I’m trying to get a sense of how much usage we’re getting out of NIP-32 labels, NIP-58 badges, and NIP-51 lists. And more specifically, what they’re being used for.

Is there anyplace I can go to find out:

What are the most commonly awarded badges?

What are the most commonly utilized labels?

What are the most common names or titles for a NIP-51 list? (Not including “bookmarks,” “mute” or the other boilerplate generic ones. I think it may be “Nostr Devs” but not sure.)

#askNostr

I haven’t looked at the marketplace or online store nips in a while. What’s the current state of the art for starting a small online shop? #askNostr

I can’t sing, but I can math.

What are your two barbell skills?

It's Friday... tell me a joke

GM #nostr.

I’m unplugging for a bit.

Powell officially pivoted dovish on Friday.

Bullish.

Instead of frequently doing/joining Twitter Spaces, I'm thinking of firing up #Nostr Nests going forward.

A good idea or nah?

Is there significant interest here on #nostr for macro, investing and (obviously) Bitcoin-related discussions?

I'd love to build and share ideas more on #nostr rather than on X.
