the "woke" agenda from the Jewish perspective

2023.7.3: news.pol/purges/zionism/
the "woke" agenda from the Jewish perspective:

Charles Jacobson 2023 6/25:

https://www.toojewishradio.com/Too%20Jewish%20MP3's/Too_Jewish_2023-06-25.mp3

. the liberal agenda has been about equal opportunity for all;

whereas the "woke" agenda now in play

is about equal results:

if a race or culture is getting worse results,

that is proof they are getting oppressed by

the races or cultures that are getting good results.

. people of the Jewish culture have some of the best results

so among "woke" liberals 

the Jewish nation has lost its status as victims,

and are instead a big part of the oppression.

. actually, the main reason that

the Jewish nationals are seen as oppressors,

is for their support of zionism:

[ their being willing to wage an endless war

to maintain a Jewish state in Israel

at the expense of the Islamic state that existed there

for several hundred years.]

. authentic Judaism entails zionism,

so when liberals attack zionism,

they are being antisemitic.

"Betrayal: The Failure of American Jewish Leadership" [ad]

vegetables having bitter anti-cancer goodness bred out of them

 2023.5.12: news.health/diet/
vegetables having bitter anti-cancer goodness bred out of them:

. when you hear that certain foods have anti-cancer effects,

consider that some are trying to breed sweeter vegetables

that could reduce their anti-cancer effects.


. many brussel sprouts have been bred to have less

bitter glucosinolates, which made them more popular.

https://twitter.com/scifri/status/1657085545338531840

https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/otc-birth-control-pill/#segment-transcript


. glucosinolates are known for beneficial effects including 

regulation of inflammation, stress response, 

and phase I metabolism.

Glucosinolates that combine with myrosinase, 

can become an anti-cancer isothiocyanate.

. foods with high glucosinolates 

should not be the primary source of energy

because heavy doses can result in goiter, anemia, 

organ lesions, and reduced growth.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology/glucosinolate


. in what other ways are healthy fruits and vegetable

made less healthy or anti-cancer by breeding that makes them 

sweeter or less bitter?

low-dose aspirin seems good for eyes except with vitamins

2023.3.2: web.health/diet/aspirin/blindness/

low-dose aspirin seems good for eyes except with vitamins:

summary:

. there are some studies that seemed to show

that aspirin increased your risk of blindness;

but the best type of study (randomized trials)

showed they actually reduced the risk of blindness

unless you happen to be the user of multivitamins.

. one study showed that only people with good genes

 may benefit from a good diet;

but you should be safe from AMD blindness if you

limit both omega-6 vegetable oils and your glycemic load.

Ophthalmology. 2009:

Low-dose aspirin and medical record-confirmed age-related macular degeneration in a randomized trial of women. 


. using 100mg aspirin every other day

slightly reduced your risk of AMD

yet increased your risk if you used certain multivitamin supplements.

"Among current nonusers of multivitamins, 

those in the aspirin group had a statistically-significant

32% reduced risk of AMD (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49−0.95) 

whereas among current users of multivitamins, 

there was a nonsignificant 14% increased risk of AMD

"In AREDS, both aMedi[Mediterranean-type diet] and its fish component

interacted with CFH rs10922109 for late AMD

(P = 0.01 and P = 0.0005, respectively); 

higher aMedi and fish intake were each associated with 

decreased risk of AMD only in participants with protective alleles. 

Closer adherence to a Mediterranean-type diet 

was associated with lower risk of progression to late AMD and to large drusen. 

The signal was greater for GA than neovascular AMD. 

Fish intake contributed to this protective association. 

CFH genotype strongly influenced these relationships. 

Hazard ratios (HRs) for progression in aMedi tertile 3 versus 1 

were 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.71-0.85, P < 0.0001) 

for late AMD, 0.71 (0.63-0.80, P < 0.0001) for GA, 

and 0.84 (0.75-0.95, P = 0.005) for neovascular AMD. 

For fish consumption, HRs for late AMD in quartile 4 versus 1 were

0.69 (0.58-0.82, P < 0.0001; AREDS) and 

0.92 (0.78-1.07, P = 0.28; AREDS2).

I reduce cooking time in 3 ways:

. soak the lentils in boiling water to soften them.

. puree the soaked lentils in a vitamixer;

and, that way some of the heat that was needed for

breaking up the lentils

can then instead be used for immediately

attacking anti-nutrients.

stolen cactus

2022.11.29: proj.apt`garden/stolen cactus:

. there were 3 pots of potatoes,

the pot on the right was half dug up,

in a place where 2 types cactus were located,

but one of the cactuses was thrown to the side.

I dug up the rest of the pot looking for potatoes,

but all I could find were 2 very small ones,

and one of the seed potatoes that seemed chewed,

while the pot seemed dragged out of place,

having me wonder if an animal did this,

but most likely a human was looking for a cactus.
