BonesOfTheMoonBut of course we don't want to poison our child.
oddThis baffles me so often. I have a coworker who is on cigarettes, weed, caffeine, and alcohol. But is not vaccinated, because that’s unhealthy.
Lately he cought me in the office eating sweets and started to educate me how bad sugar is.
You can’t make that shit up.
talLately he cought me in the office eating sweets and started to educate me how bad sugar is.
I mean, people do tend to eat more sugar than they probably should, but the main artificial sweetener that I see used in candies is xylitol, which is, unfortunately, also a laxative. Eat more than a few xylitol-sweetened candies at one sitting, and one’s in for diarrhea.
I assume that we don’t have an artificial sweetener in 2024 that both avoids having a laxative effect and has the appropriate properties to subsititute for sugar in candies. I’d be delighted if someone would manage to develop one, though.
Good lord. I went to the kitchen to get me a coffee and grabbed a cookie from the snack bar.
Xylitol also have interesting properties for preventing tooth decay. Not the worst sugar alternative imo
Preflight_TomatoIIRC it doesn’t do anything prevent tooth decay, it just doesn’t cause it, unlike sugar and many other sugar substitutes.
It stimulates the salivary glands, and saliva does prevent tooth decay.
A quick google search, xylitol and tooth decay, should convince you otherwise. Plenty of scientific papers to dive in
The laxative properties disappear after a while (a few weeks). Our body accommodates for it so that 200g per day are no big problem anymore.
SpookyghostYes we do, they just arent as cheap.
whoisearthThere’s a reckoning coming with social media mark my words. I don’t know when or how but it’s going to reach a tipping point when the destruction is enough.
It is destroying families and communities not government, or science, or policies. People like Elon and Zuckerberg are sowing the seeds that are actively destroying the fabric of society.
It’s already happened, we elected Donald fucking Trump to be president TWICE
Yeah. This guy seems to think “the reckoning” will be some sort of revolution, where in the real world we’re steamrolling into fascist dystopia.
Are you working with RFK Jr?
Lorem Ipsum dolor sit ametWell @[email protected] is actually Donald Trump, believe it or not.
Lmao imaging he’d go on Lemmy to vent about his “co worker” lol
Smart talking about yourself in the 3rd person to hide who you are.
I’m not Trump. I have the identity. The best identity. You can ask everyone. “The best identity” they say. Is he fit to run for president? Yes. Is Dungrad his secret identity. No. Clear no. Think back Waterloo and … and what they did to those wonderful people. Put that into perspective. Even Obama said Dungrad is not his identity. I like my coworkers. He likes his coworkers. Hardworking people they are.
Truly a masterful example of the weave, Mr. President
