It seems like the average consumer of diet sweeteners is already likely to be overweight, diabetic, or have other ailments. This article seems highly sensationalized. For the average person, the risk of sugar impacting blood glucose levels seems far riskier than any side effect of a NSS

From my understanding the evidence of gut biome modification is weak, and would require a large volume consumption. Some NSS will cause temporary stomach upset if it’s your first few times consuming them. But I don’t think this has any long term impacts on gut health. Some NSS are healthy for your oral micro biome (erythritol for sure).

I was curious about this as well. It seems like arbitrary short names were “premium” without any value in their meaning.

Suggesting long term SERM use in replacement of a bio identical testosterone does not seem like the brightest idea. There have been reports of blurred vision, floaters in the eyes, and more (look on pubmed under just about any SERM, but specifically clomid).

In my opinion it would be much safer to suggest recombinant FSH and LH. The brain testes axis seems to have the least amount of atrophy over time from anecdotal experiences of those online and in a few case reports. I do not think HCG should be used long term due to the non-bio identical nature, but it is a good short term LH mimic if my memory serves me correctly. Would be a great addition to a TRT protocol.

Genuine question, how is a browser tab different than thunderbird? Besides storing a local copy of mail (which is obviously a huge win), I don't see a big difference. If anything I like the web UI better.

However, for my uses I simply installed proton bridge + apple mail. It just works with all email services I use.

Currently I forward all my iCloud mail to my protonmail. Not sure if the aliases will stick around after cancelling a subscription however.

These should be used in moderation with doctors supervision, but alpha-yohimbine (rauwolscine), l-carnitine (high oral dose, or inject-able dose, GLP-1 agonists, fiber, fasting mimicking diets, and intermittent fasting. I would start by reading the circadian code however. Getting your sleep on track is the first step to weight loss.
