This is exactly why I’ve started only buying smart devices that work with Home Assistant and don’t rely on cloud services.

It’s a study with Walter Willett and Frank Hu, who are probably the most highly regarded nutritional researchers working in the field.
Here’s a great video about how these researchers are using big data to reveal insights into nutrition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8JQtwLNKXg

Have you tried uv? I switched to it from poetry a couple months ago. It’s not perfect but I’m enjoying it a lot more than poetry.

> the US essentially subsidizes the entire drug research industry
This isn’t entirely true. The US does pay more for drugs but a lot of this money isn’t spent on research. In fact pharmaceutical companies spend far more on advertising than research:

Nutritional studies are notoriously difficult to conduct. You either have to isolate subjects and monitor everything they eat and when. Or you have to rely on self reported data and people do an atrocious job of tracking food, estimating portion size, etc.
This study did the former:
> The duration of the study is 7 days including 3 days with controlled diet and 4 days (including 5 nights) in a metabolic chamber at the Institute of Nutritional Medicine at the University of Hohenheim.
I imagine it was prohibitively expensive to have more participants.

I see. Thanks for the response! Great article too.

With the way that Apple prevents you from reusing Apple IDs, does it mean that if my Apple ID is [email protected] and I migrate mydomainname.com (currently using G Suite free) over to iCloud that I can't set up [email protected]?
