Why do you think your body is making you desperate for sugar?

I’d like to counter with the following narrative;

Assuming that there are only 10 people on the planet. All 10 people need enough ’currency’ to be able to trade in and among themselves. That amount is dependent upon a determined given level of lifestyle choices. In other words there is a minimum level. We should all be able to agree on that. Now, add 100 more people (110 in total) and try to use the same quantity of currency. It’s obvious that there will be a shortage of currency for the 100 people added to the scene. What does a shortage of currency do? Prices go down. Why? Because some of the 100 will decide to lower the asking price of their services or goods in order to accumulate currency for themselves. In that situation, there just isn’t enough currency to go around for the level of the population.

Now some people would say that prices would rise because, like Bitcoin, a shortage of currency means people would pay more to buy (dollars-currency)

Which force is more powerful? Someone that wants to pay more for their dollars by giving more services for any given currency, or the shortage of currency raising the price of services and goods?(note I’ve written these in reverse order, as one won’t have goods without currency, but will have services to offer)

It’s imperative that there be enough currency for a “stable economy” where prices aren’t fluctuating wildly. In other words, governments will, rightly so, print more currency to ensure that people don’t starve. (Which is exactly what would happen if there wasn’t enough currency to go around) With only enough currency in circulation for 10 people, 100 people would need to go without. Starvation is not an option. Therefore, a currency needs to be expandable to a level appropriate to the level of the population.

It is conceivable that the prices of services will go down but the price of goods will go up.

So one can see why a currency NEEDS to be expandable to the correct amount for a given society and its level of population. This point is hard to debate.

The problem arises when governments expand the level of currency higher than the needs of the population and do so to “invest” in war, social services, or to inflate away the resulting debts that accumulate.

However, Bitcoin, as a currency is just plain not expandable, therefore it isn’t suitable as a currency, because there isn’t enough of it to be usable by the global population. As more people want to accumulate Bitcoin, its price will rise. The same can be said for the USD, unless the U.S. government continues to print.

So, in conclusion, the debate over whether the “natural state of the economy is deflation” isn’t 100% determinable.

Man, when will a house be 0.25 BTC? That's the dream.

#Bitcoin below $100k is still cheap.

Problems with processed sugar :

A. Lack if minerals which are spent to metabolize food, especially high energy food like sugar. Fruit comes with minerals, and that's no accident.

B. Lack of phytonutrients which oppose dybsiosis. Consuming highly refined sugar, even natural cane sugar, leaves bacterial overgrowth unopposed.

C. High calorie malnutrition. The people eating processed foods loaded with sugar are rarely getting the cofactors needed (esp B vitamins) to support their thyroid and draw down their blood glucose, leading to chronic high blood sugar, which exposes folks to the type of inflammation that underlies diabetes. Natural sugars pushes folks in the direction of eating natural anomal products, especially organs which are rich in B vits.

D. Slippery slope to industrial sugar substitutes. With the problems above, it creates an opportunity for the food industry to wrongly demonize sugar by marketing sugar substitutes which, like seed oils, absolutely obliterate the metabolism. HFCS is the best of the worst because it is fairly natural, but it containd massive quantities of hidden starch which result in like a 3-4x sugar/energy consumption; one might consume a soda with 60g of HFCS a day, not knowing it has a glycemic impact of 240g of sugar. Your metabolism would have to be incredible to draw down that much blood sugar in short period of time.

Sticking with more whole, natural sugars generally leads to better health because it avoids these not so obvious traps.

Spent all morning learning how to swap out watch straps. It turned out my steel bracelet had a springbar in an endlink that wasn’t catching properly in the hole so I took it apart, tried on NATO and leather straps before going back to steel and swapping the top endlink for the bottom one until it clicked into place. Satisfying but very, very annoying work 😂

that’s rhetoric

more precise dialectic is:

it’s a composite of quantity and quantity

Why is male circumcision normalized and recommended by doctors in America while female circumcision is (correctly) viewed as barbaric?

nostr:note1908u6gs4ss8ske3742f79kcwq0l89zgs269cqt6s2lw3mt6rwtvqntz5ph

Male circumcision could have hygiene benefits and could improve sexual pleasure. Female circumcision mostly steals that from women. Without arguing either side, this is why I think they are viewed differently.

the greatest psyop in america may be the normalization of male circumcision

60% of newborn boys in the us are circumcised

it is a difficult topic because no parent wants to admit they made the wrong decision but that number should be zero

“You taking creatine for those gains, bro?”

Nah. Just red wine.

Keeping my Testosterone HIGHER.

Seriously.👇

Your body has a built-in off-ramp for testosterone.

It’s called glucuronidation.

Your liver tags free testosterone for removal and sends it out through your urine.

The enzyme that handles this is called UGT2B17.

Less of that enzyme means more testosterone stays in your system.

Quercetin is a flavonoid found in red wine.

And it does something wild.

It blocks UGT2B17 from tagging your testosterone for excretion.

YOU'RE PEEING OUT YOUR T BRO

STOP IT.

One study found red wine could reduce testosterone breakdown by up to 70 percent.

Look, wine might mess up your sleep.

Circadian rhythm is massive for testosterone.

But if you’re already MACROdosing creatine,

And you find yourself on a date?

Red wine is your move.

I have never drank oat milk and I never will.
