Reply to comment by bkydx in The brain can rapidly detect and process fearful faces that are otherwise invisible to the eye. There appears to be a neural pathway for detection of fear, which operates automatically, outside of conscious awareness. by Wagamaga
But it is perceptable by vision, that's how your amygdala knows to be afraid of it. Maybe something else kicks in afterwards if it's around long enough, not sure, but you'd definitely "see" it, just not consciously

“Ratio to counter” I know these words at least.

If i understand this right, though, this is a factor that could create a tendency, not a causal connection? I hope it leads to treatment options.

Reply to comment by Gemini884 in New study shows Acceleration of global sea level rise imminent past 1.8℃ planetary warming by 9273629397759992
> There is no evidence for projected warming <3-4C of any tipping points that significantly change the warming trajectory.
Just to back up this point, r/science discussed a paper in Science which examined known tipping points 5 months ago. I extracted a list of those tipping points, their thresholds, their effects, and their timescales.
As you say, none of the near-warming (<4C) near-term (<200-year timescale) tipping points had significant global effects on warming or sea level rise.

Thank you. This study is purely correlation. It’s not causation. Correlation can give a good place to start when looking for cause but they are in no way the same thing.

This is a correlation study not causation.

Isn't a potato more complex than sugar tho? Taking more time to digest?

Fruit has Fibres and other chemicals that counteract the effects, to some extent. For example, Inositol is an Insulin mimetic.
It's mainly super concentrated Sugars and Fructose.

Yogurt is fairly easy to make yourself actually.
They all are but you have to make small batches cause things spoil very quickly without preservatives

Our old people are overwhelmingly bigoted jerks too so it might be that some people try and play that off as senility when in fact they just don’t care about others and never have.

Wait until I tell you the wonderful story of the Saturated Fatty Acid Palmitate. How it dysregulates Glucagen Like Peptides.
You see those expensive new diabetes drugs? All they do us switch back on GLP-1; which Palmitate, in high concentrations, switches off.
Now get this, the Government tells us to eat low fat foods to lose weight. But, low fat foods aren't a food group anymore because they cannot carry fat soluble vitamins.
How do they address this? They add Palm Oil or Palmitate as a carrier of fat soluble vitamins in low fat food and spreads like margarine. Especially those 'Cholestrol lowering' margarines (don't get me started on the lies around cholestrol)
They tell us to eat low fat foods to lose weight, and give us a nice big helping of metabolic disorder along with them. Chemically induced diabetes.
Like Cheshire Cats, the last thing you see are the Narcissistic smirks of Lobbyists disappearing into the shadows behind the politicians behind these regulatory guidelines.
P.S the sellers of Low Fat Palmitate Rich food have heavy investments in Insulin and Diabetes drug companies.
They know precisely what they are doing.

The article is putting the cart before the horse. Checking smartphones more often isn't causing more daily cognitive failures. People who are prone to more daily cognitive failures (such as those with ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, or any number of other disorders which include executive dysfunction amongst their symptoms) are, as a result, more likely to check their phones frequently throughout the day, whether fo reminders, out of distraction, or just a subconcious search for that hit of dopamine.
Co-relation does not equal causation. Reporters writing about studies pretty much always twist it for an agenda.

Depends on the bud, if I'm dehydrated or hungry, but yea.
I don't really attribute that to the marijuana tho.

I see. I'd suggest that it's more corporate-mandated, because were it not for the undue influence of corporations in government, the government might have put out more sensible diet advice that led to healthier outcomes. I'm aware that that's just speculation.

It's a bit of both. I say government Mandated because all their food pyramids and diet advice are a recipe for diabetes, and they are well aware of this.

Does it have to be "government-mandated" as opposed to "corporate-mandated"? 'Cause I feel like regulatory capture by big corporations is closer to the root of the problem than any government regulations. Then again, I suppose that's not a question for this sub.

They knew from 1908 to 1936. 100 human model studies 10s of thousands of animal model studies.
10% Sugar or fructose and 3% salt diet causes metabolic disorder and vasculature dementias.
They confirmed it all the way back then.
