  • My doctor said something similar.

    But after years of me being on keto, losing 167lbs, having an “absolutely fantastic health record” and the “healthiest bloodwork” he’s ever seen (his words), plus significant improvement in mood, memory, and mobility, and a significant reduction/elimination of pain and inflammation, he changed his mind.

    He even said that most of the content he had heard or read when saying it was “a bad diet” all those years ago was “completely biased” and “worded very slyly” (also his words). After revisiting those sources, he realized they “weren’t actually describing real keto, just people eating a ton of fat” (which is not what keto is), “and crying about how bad fat is” (again, his words… which made me LOL). Also, mega bonus points for him - he actually checked into the sources and found that most of them were funded by the sugar industry.

    It takes nothing to realize you’re wrong; for some people, it takes a lot to admit it. He had no problem doing so, and even recommends the diet to other patients now.


  • Edit: facepalm I’m just noticing this is a community for the Boost for Lemmy app, not the official site. Please ignore me.

    In your account Settings, scroll down to the Languages section and select Undetermined and other languages you’d like to see.

    It’s not 100% foolproof, because as others have stated, the language tag isn’t required. But it significantly reduced most of the foreign-language posts I was seeing on the All feed, without impacting the feed in a negative way (AFAIK). For the remainders, you can just block the community if needed.



  • I copied it via Google Lens and pasted into a file to read.

    YMMV.

  • fetal bovine serum (FBS)… is derived from the blood of calf fetuses after their pregnant mothers are slaughtered by the meat or dairy industry.

    I did not know this… and after reading the wiki, I found it rather disturbing…

    The first stage of the production process for FBS is the harvesting of blood from the bovine fetus after the fetus is removed from the slaughtered cow. The fetus dies from the lack of oxygen by remaining in the protective environment of the uterus for a minimum of 15–20 minutes after the cow is dead
