and, when you get a good price,
it will be for technical grade;
whereas we should have NF or USP grade
for use in eyes, ears, and internally.

how #vegan diets are more prone to bleeding

9.6: health/diet/how vegans are more prone to bleeding:
9.10: summary:
. vegans seem more prone to bleeding;
Sears's zone diet research suggests
that there is greater risk of bleeding
when taking high-dose fish oil,
because the omega-3 oil EPA
greatly exceeds the balancing effects of
arachidonic acid (AA) omega-6 oil.
. it is quite likely that the converse is true,
those with very low levels of AA,
are going to have a bloody EPA/AA ratio
even if their EPA is not high.
. one of the richest sources of AA is egg yolk,
and AA may be why a 2018 study showed
Chinese eating one yolk daily can
reduce their risk of bleeding death.
. a great vegan source for both protein
and the omega-6 that may be converted to AA,
is chickpeas (1.1g omega-6 per 100g);
of course, nuts and seeds
are the richest source of omega-6
other than processed oils.
. chia seeds and walnuts are balanced:
chia: 5.8g omega-6, 17.5g omega-3.
walnuts: 38g omega-6, 9g omega-3;
walnuts are rich in polyphenols too.

9.6: news.psy/science/how to get more natives involved:
. on @scifri radio they featured how to
get more natives involved in science.
. First Native Americans are

#christian proof our #god does not hate #queers

9.5: relig/christian/proof our god does not hate queers:
. Rush Limbaugh on the radio reminds us
people who believe in the god
don't worry about global warming;
because, this place was made for us,
so, how could it be so easily destroyed
by such things as cow belching?
. also, I couldn't find it in his transcript
but I thought he said something
that seemed similar to the idea
that the god of the entire universe
hates unrepentant queers;
has Rush any idea
just how queer nature really is?

why is the sky blue? the #god

8.14: phi/metaphysics/why is the sky blue? the god:
. the universe is just a math model:
all the colors that I see it has
are actually coming from my own soul;
but I wouldn't know what to do with all my colors,
without the god's assignments
telling me how to arrange them.
. our soul's color blue has been assigned to
EM wavelengths of 430 to 450 nanometers,
or a frequency of 7.03x10^14 Hz.
8.15: web:
. usa's gov explanation of why the sky is blue
has nothing to do with perceiving blue;
the question they answer is
"why is the sky emitting EM at 7.03x10^14 Hz?"

can you trust Consumer Reports with vitamin D advice?

3.19: mag.health/diet/vit'd/
can you trust Consumer Reports with vitamin D advice?:
Consumer Reports [cr] on Health april 2019:
"do you really need more vitamin D?" [vd]
. new study with 2k IU for 5 years
didn't reduce risk of cancer or heart disease;
1600 IU in elders didn't prevent falls or build bone.
. this article implies that these are good studies
and that all prior studies showing benefits from vd supps
are all bogus or defective;
but this article has done nothing to prove that.
. if all the studies are good
it could mean that vd alone doesn't help;
you need other dietary and lifestyle changes too.

trust flu vaccine? we need humane organic farming

19.6.17: tv.pol/healthcare/industrial farming
/Rob Wallace`african swine fever:
6.19: summary:
trust flu vaccine? we need humane organic farming:
. part of the reason for encouraging flu vaccine
is that globalized factory farming
is increasing the rate of flu virus evolution;
but flu vaccine is often not protective;
what we really need is to discontinue
globalized factory farming of animals
by mandating humane organic farming.
. I summarize the work of
biology Ph.D. Rob Wallace
and others concerned with the way
factory farming promotes disease.

single women live longer than married? #health #peterprinciple

6.8..9: health/social/
single women live longer than married women?:
. according to Heather Havrilesky
married men live longer than single men;
but single women
live longer than married women.
[the week magazine 5.3; p36].
how can this be?

. perhaps the typical guy who doesn't marry
is a "weekend warrior" prone to
death by poor diet and sleep loss.
(shifting sleep to later on the weekends
is a form of sleep disruption;
as is binge drinking).
. but how are single women living longer
than married women?
