    don't know who "Dr. Axe" is, his is just the first article I came to.

    I have little trust in what the FDA, the CDC or the WHO has to say about anything

     

    The name,  Dr. Axe,  rang a bell and I couldn't remember why.  Searched the name and the first page was nothing but ads for vitamin, mineral,  vegetable,  supplements and fad health books.  He's a chiropractor with bonefides from Palmer College of Chiropractic. 

     

    I hear you about the official, or officious, health industry.  But in the two dozen or so articles I looked at, reading either the Abstract or  Conclusion they reflect what the majority found,  that Splenda and similar have no or few negative effects,  and are overall helpful. 

     

    Also, the negative effects seem be mostly in the non-diebetic control groups.

    Man Robbed Carrying Gun In Back Pocket, Then Shot Trying To Get It Back

    I’ve seen this on Instagram by Colion Noir. Really dumb place to carry a gun! I carry concealed on my side but up closer to the middle of my waist. 
     

     

    That's the one in the link.  Guy seems a milquetoast that was carrying more to boost his ego more than as a tool. 

    "Hey, man, give me my gun back!" instead of wading in and taking it back.   

     

    I don't know if it loops at the end, but I counted around 20 , maybe 21 shots. So likely more than one gun involved  

     

    Re: accessing the video.  I only had to click one time to see the "violent content."  I don't consider that to be too many hoops.

    Not such a good idea. "Sucralose may increase blood glucose and insulin levels: Sucralose may negatively affect the very people who are using it to decrease sugar consumption and stabilize blood glucose levels. A study found that sucralose increased blood glucose levels and insulin levels while decreasing insulin sensitivity".

    https://draxe.com/nutrition/sucralose/

     

     

    I see "Dr. Axe" and red flags go up.  He's usually considered a quack trying to sell his pills and books.

    Studies are all over the place on sucralose, although most of them say it's generally safe.  NIH and the Mayo online site say that it's safe and has few negative effects.  A search for "Diabetes and Sucralose" came up with this overview:

    • Sucralose and type 2 diabetes
      A study found that sucralose had no significant effect on blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes who took sucralose for three months. 
       
    • Sucralose and glycosylated hemoglobin
      A study found that sucralose had no significant effect on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), a marker of blood sugar levels, in people with diabetes. 
       
    Studies in people without diabetes
    • Sucralose and blood glucose
      A study found that sucralose lowered blood glucose in healthy people when consumed with carbohydrates, but not in people with type 2 diabetes. 
       
    • Sucralose and insulin sensitivity
      A study found that consuming sucralose with carbohydrates impaired insulin sensitivity in healthy adults. 
       
     
    Other considerations
    • The FDA considers sucralose safe for people with diabetes. 
       
    • The WHO has an acceptable daily intake of 15 mg/kg of body weight for sucralose. 
       
    • Low-calorie sweeteners like sucralose are often used in foods and beverages to reduce sugar intake. 


    When I searched Honey and Diabetes the Google AI brought up this summary:
     

    Honey is a natural sweetener that has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. Some studies have suggested that honey may have beneficial effects on blood sugar control in people with diabetes. However, other studies have shown conflicting results. 
     
    Studies on Blood Sugar Control 
     
    Several studies have investigated the effects of honey on blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. A 2015 study found that consuming 50 grams of honey per day for 8 weeks significantly lowered fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. However, a 2019 study found no significant effect on blood sugar levels after consuming honey for 12 weeks. 
     
    A 2020 meta-analysis of 12 studies concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support the claim that honey improves blood sugar control in people with diabetes.
    Studies on Insulin Sensitivity 
     
    Some studies have suggested that honey may improve insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes. A 2017 study found that consuming honey increased insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. However, a 2018 study found no significant effect on insulin sensitivity. 
     
    Other Potential Benefits 
     
    In addition to its potential effects on blood sugar control, honey has been shown to have other potential health benefits for people with diabetes, including: 
     
    Reducing oxidative stress, Improving heart health, and Reducing inflammation. 
     
    Safety Considerations 
     
    While honey is generally considered safe, it is important to note that it is high in sugar. People with diabetes should consume honey in moderation and consult with their healthcare provider before making any significant changes to their diet. 
     
    Conclusion 
     
    The evidence on the effects of honey on diabetes is mixed. Some studies have shown that honey may improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity, while others have found no significant effect. More research is needed to determine the true potential benefits and risks of honey for people with diabetes. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before consuming honey for any medicinal purposes. 
     
    Pick your pick and choose your choice, you can find something to back any position.  But overall there seems to be more evidence that sucralose is save.

    Question for Russians/Russian speakers

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted · Edited by Subdeacon Joe

    I just watched it when I  could pay more attention. First time through I wasn't really attentive...half listening to my wife talking about a game she was pla.

     

    The "second wingman" comment is a little joke.   The CO is telling the zampolit to stick to him like a wingman. 

     

     

    ADDED:

     

    I take that back.....watching other episodes and it's used in a  mission context. They didn't seem to be in flights of 3.  No idea.

    Another thing, think of carbs as a daily budget,  you have only so many to spend in one day.    Spend them however you want,  but learn to make good nutritional choices.  Nutrient rich foods,  high fiber foods,  not empty carbs/calories. If you blow all your "budget" first thing in the morning you'll have a harder time with meals later in the day.

    CARBS ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND!!!

     

    And carbs is carbs, not just sugar.   Flour,  starchy vegetables, grains, sugar, it does matter

     

    That said,  some carbs, complex carbs, are less bad than simple carbs.  Whole grains, some starchy vegetables, and legumes for example.

    I don't think it gets into the egg, but,  supposedly,  the shell can be contaminated through improper handling.  

     

    The reason for destroying flocks is to prevent spreading it to other flocks.

    Question for Russians/Russian speakers

    Disclaimer,  my Russian is VERY  poor,  I can slowly stumble through text using online translators and can follow very simple spoken Russian.   

     

    Available on YouTube. 

    https://youtu.be/Yr-Zz5HbO7Q?si=ZVhxz-idbSY7fJj5

     

     вы все свободны

    vy vse svobodny

     

    "You're all free" (to go is implied)

     

    I  couldn't make out what got translated as "Execute," but I  think "Do it!" or "Get it done!" is closer.   Although I  suspect that it was the imperative of the verb, so maybe in English "Execute!" catches the spirit better.

     

    Re "Second Wingman,"  I THINK Soviet doctrine in The Great Patriotic War was fighters flying in pairs, and in flights of four.  So maybe the Wingman in the second pair?

    Strawberry,  chocolate,  and hazelnut seems to be a popular combination.  Just 2 of many examples

     

    https://thefeedfeed.com/neuroticmommy/strawberry-cake-with-hazelnut-filling

    This one uses a "Hazelnut Spread for middle Layer and no it's not Nutella. I purchased a non gmo brand from WholeFoods." 

     

    https://blissismyfood.sathyasai.org/recipe/sponge-cake-with-dark-chocolate-hazelnut-strawberry/

    This one adds "crushed hazelnuts on the sides of the cake."
    ...with the option to "Put the crushed hazelnuts on the sides of the cake."

    All the way up till we put the Nutella on there with the strawberries and the whipped cream. Chocolate and strawberries, yeah. But I don't know about nuts.

     

    I was going off his comments about the flavor combinations.
    Strawberries?
    Check!
    Chocolate?
    Check!

    Nuts?
    Check!

    Seems all his points are covered.  I also found several that were strawberry and hazelnuts without chocolate.

    Pizza

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

    I'll say that it's not AMERICAN pizza.  People were making pizza before the tomato was introduced - and before pineapple was introduced - to Europe.  Earliest record of pizza with tomato is early 1700s.  I did see a reference to pineapple being introduced to Italy in the 1600s, so possibly there was pineapple on pizza before there was tomato on pizza. :D  Although it kind of hard to wrap my head around how a peasant would get such a luxury item, or why a toffy-nosed toff who could afford pineapple would stoop so low as to be eating pizza.
