#christianity evolvers

7.6: relig/christianity/evolvers:
. the reason we never save for 7 years
to cover for the 7-year famines that cause war
as the bible warns us of,
is that we are too eager about
following the bible's other lesson:
be fruitful and multiply to fill the earth .
-- see, there is never a famine in your own land,
there is only conquering of other lands!
. the bible was created by us
to pat ourselves on the back .
...
so looking at the entire bible,
you see them only documenting the forces of nature,
[12.29: as directed by supernature]
not showing the way of salvation or peace;
[12.29: you assume salvation is peace,
but salvation is perfection through evolution].
. you could say nature provides salvation;
because, conquering is evolution is
agility and strength .

ethyl esters of fish oil raise fasting #insulin

7.5: web.health/ethyl esters of fish oil raise fasting insulin:
7.5: 12.29: summary:
. the natural form of fish oil
is to bond the EPA and DHA fatty acides
within a triglyceride or phospholipid;
but a more concentrated cheaper way
is by bonding with an ethyl ester;
testing of olive ethyl ester was positive,
but ethyl esters of fish oils
resulted in significantly increased
fasting levels of insulin
(suggesting they cause insulin resistance?)
todo:
. the doses of fish oil were rather high;
so does an equivalent dose of natural fish oil
have a similar effect on insulin ?

some food sanitized with nuclear radiation

7.2: news.pol/healthcare/food is now sanitized with nuclear radiation:
summary:
. radiation virtually cooks food;
so it's not easy to tell what's fresh;
there is a label you can see
that tells you your food is not fresh .
todo:
what does "not fresh" mean?
is irradiation denaturing proteins or oxidizing vitamins?

AIDS from organ transplant antirejection drugs

6.21: web.med/organ transplant/AIDS from antirejection drugs:
summary:
. the first year after transplant with antirejectives
there is increased risk of the same sort of cancers
seen by those with AIDS from HIV infection;

there is a chance of living without antirejectives .

Mormons are Jewish++

6.19: news.relig/judaism/mormons are Jewish++:
adapted from tabletmag.com:
. unlike many other Christian groups,
Mormons do not believe that
God abrogated his covenant with the Jews
or replaced them with a non-Jewish "new Israel".
Rather, Mormons consider themselves to be
part of the Israelite community including Jews.
. LDS theology is "inclusionist"
rather than supercessionist.

shaver weasel conspiracy

6.18: pos.gear/shaver/weasel conspiracy:
. I had a good electric years ago,
but during my last move sending it by mail
one of the employees went postal on it .
. I looked for electrics but was surprised at
how they all depended on unreplaceable batteries
-- how long is that supposed to last,
so I started using manual razors (blades).
. I reuse one many times by spraying it with alcohol
to avoid water corroding the edge .

paprika

6.17: web.health/paprika:
summary:
. paprika is dried fruit (to be limited
as an excessive source of oxidized vitamin C);
but even dried, it apparently has a lot of
usable vit'E, B6, lutein and zeaxanthin .
