“Unless you’re looking to create your own Fight Club, a suggestion to go along with gazing uncomfortably at a stranger is to smile, nod or say ‘top of the morning!’ in a very strong Irish accent. Staring them down may not be in your best interest… well, unless a ‘mad dog’ moment is your desired ‘discomfort’.”
– Good point, Brandon.

Good lord. What healthy person would have signed up to be part of that sugar and fries study? Is there any positive outcome from that?
The coronavirus article is pretty interesting. Ironically, panic and fear suppresses our immune systems. If everyone ate healthy, got moderate amounts of exercise, slept well, controlled stress (and I know there are folks throughout the US and the world where circumstances make this challenging, we have many people struggling to just survive and I’m soberly mindful of that) the death rate of those who contract the virus would of course be under the 3.4% figure the WHO estimates. I believe the majority of folks who succumb to the CV are elderly. Throw in as a bonus (again, if you are in a position to do so) taking antioxidents and immune-enhancing supplements and doing several sauna sessions per week, and I think your chances of not getting a life-threatening case are pretty decent. No guarantees of course, just my rambling thoughts on the subject. All the best to everyone. 🙂
RE Omega 6 article – looks like cream (CR) isn’t a whole lot healthier:
“Triglycerides in the plasma S(f) greater than 400 fraction increased significantly (P < .001) after the meals, with a significantly (P < .05) larger increase after the CR meal”
I’m interested in the reason the elderly die and not the young is it we are taking better care of our young, is it diet, kids get even cold going and survive but the eldery don’t. I think thus is where more data is needed to understand human physiology more.
in regards to this: Immune support is always important.
the link features an omega 3 capsule product. Aren’t omega 3 PUFAs immunosupressive?
The covid psychology article lost my interest when it started comparing statistics from a nascent escalating epidemic to a full-cycle of seasonal influenza. This is one of the most common logical fallacies currently doing social media rounds. The concern is not how many people have had and have died from covid19, but how many might get infected and might die. However I do agree some of the current actions seem to be overreactions and some people are going way overboard. But only history will tell us if the reaction was balanced, over the top, or not enough.
Just look at the WHO website, and the current update tells you exactly how bad it is. The Psychology Today interpretation is painfully wrong.
Loved your places of pondering in the Sunday email, Mark! Regarding fermented milk, I drank it from a communal vessel inside a ger (yurt) while travelling through Mongolia years back. Definitely unlike anything else I’ve experienced!
The coronavirus article seems an impressive case of willful ignorance for a man with phd after his name. As experts have been at pains to emphasize the imperative to slow the spread is because it will rapidly and completely overwhelm our medical system. Basically, very ill people will go essentially untreated, the virus will rage throughout our hospitals which are full of especially vulnerable people, and countless senior living facilities of all kinds will become scenes of shocking carnage, at least by standards moderns are accustom to. I think a reasonable people can conclude this is a scenario worth trying to head off.
