Yea and how many studies do you still see trying to push the notion that dietary fat is the problem without controlling for sugar intake in the recipients diets and using cholesterol as their marker despite the 5 meta studies done in the past 20 years not being able to identify any meaningful association between animal fat and heart disease/early mortality. Nutrition science is such a sketchy field as the vast majority of studies are funded by corporations seeking a certain bias in the outcome to support their product.

My grandmother had and my mom has alz . They moved to the states when my mom was 12 from a small fishing village in NB around 1958. They went from eating fish and home grown foods ... to American processed which was really starting to be popular. Throw in air pollution ... there just has to be some correlation.

Agree with you here. I call these "connesseuir blends" and you can definitely snipe a specific high like this. I'd love to start seeing more d8 research though, I know that it functions with two receptors instead of d9's one, and in the past 6 months or so I've been experimenting solely with it over d9. It seems to me like some of the negative effects that come from heavy d9 use are not present in d8, or are lessened.

I mean, a couch potato is a derogatory term for a person who takes little exercise and spends a great deal of time watching TV. I’m disabled and largely housebound. I’d be offended if someone chose to insult me by calling me a couch potato as if I chose this life, but I can’t deny that the definition fits.
