Reply to Scientists find people with Long Covid have 2 major cytokines of the immune system (IL-8, IFN-γ) reduced by 100% by sagdiyev1

> Up to half of individuals who contract SARS-CoV-2 develop symptoms of long-COVID approximately three months after initial infection. These symptoms are highly variable, and the mechanisms inducing them are yet to be understood.

So, many of the questions people will have about this are simply not going to have an answer yet, unfortunately. I see several for this submission already.

Reply to comment by SilentBeetle in Study finds link between ‘free sugar’ intake and cardiovascular disease by YoanB

If you want to get pedantically technical, we can say that you need to either consume the carbohydrates that will break down specifically into glucose or foods that directly contain glucose itself, but you can't survive with literally 0 glucose.

While we don't need to consume added sugars or already simple glucose, fructose, maltose, or sucrose, we must consume enough carbohydrates that will break down into glucose to support brain function.

Your words specifically were

>There is no dietary need for sugar.

Which is simply untrue, unless your making the argument that we could mainline glucose infused saline or something to avoid eating it, but that's silly.

These ADHD like symptoms are all very surface level stuff. There’s not the impulsivity or inability to regulate emotions or executive dysfunction listed here. I was diagnosed before everyone had smartphones. I would like to hope diagnosis digs a little deeper than the surface now days, as depression, anxiety, and even autism (also apparently phone addiction) have several parallel symptoms to ADHD.

The surface level stuff would explain all the self diagnosed “ADHD TikTok” assholes running around with their misinformation, though

Honestly. From personal experience, I'd argue both simply based on the total number of people in my study (1, me). I never used to be like this. I forget many words, forget tasks, get distracted more easily, have trouble sitting through a movie, trouble staying on task. I never had this problem till a few years ago (32 years old now). It's been noticeable for me. I've known something is wrong for a time now. Wasn't sure what. Not 100% sure, but this seems like a good explanation of how my mind has changed since after highschool.
