    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    According to the article, its an unusual coalition of the awake who are bitcoin true believers: "... Given this, why all the enthusiasm for bitcoin? Partly, the technological ingenuity of the scheme.... But more fundamentally, bitcoin unites futuristic left-wing Internet anarchism—the...

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    Also, "authoritative" bears continue to come out of the woodwork calling it a bubble and urging caution. When its bubbled out, the authoritative bulls will be coming out all over declaring this time its different and still safe to buy.

    Kudos to MMs

    Maybe it'll turn out another disaster, who knows? Plus we don't know stop, target etc, But shorting 4 points below decade plus resistance seems a nice trade- especially given the seasonal forces working with the technicals. Look at long term SPX not Dow chart to make sense of it.

    Bitcoin thread anyone?

    It's pretty easy to view this as a bubble, but achilles' basic definitional logic is powerful. Most people have barely heard of bitcoin, never mind buying and participating.

    Russian Tycoon bets on Immortality

    Yeah, hard to imagine. Wonder if it has more to do with being young?

    Russian Tycoon bets on Immortality

    Makes sense that only the wealthy would initially have access, but I don't know about narrow appeal. Fear of dying is universal, its not just an upper class concern.

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    I have read into this topic somewhat, but haven't bothered addressing the "high carb diet leads to diabetes" worry on this thread. It sounds logical on the face, but there is just about zero population data backing it. Asians, for example, eating rice centered diets have much lower rates of...

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    NoDoji has, demonstrating impressive patience, given you explanations and links to solid research backing her position. Meanwhile you can't even correctly name the diet she advocates.

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    You did not say one correct thing in this post including your definition of vegan. :confused:

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    No, not sure why is it so fascinating to you. I don't know anyone whose behavior is 100% consistent or conflict free. I mentioned my smoking as way of illustrating the health promoting effects of a whole plant food diet. What I find so striking, is that eating in this manner eliminates many...

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    I think the storing fat for winter part is logical but speculative. Gundry connects it to the bear fattening up to hibernate. We are closer related to jungle dwelling great apes. So maybe its the same logic? I have read elsewhere and think its widely accepted that fructose causes elevated...

    If you read game eating from that, OK.

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    My smoking status has not changed since I mentioned it less than a month ago on this thread.

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    Where did I say vegans eat natural game? I don't know of anyone defining a vegan diets like that. Maybe if you were foraging full time for vegetation to eat you would get enough b12 from the soil. Personally, fond of washing my produce, I supplement it. There is no reason a person eating a...

    Sick kids on Medicaid wait much longer for care

    No mystery about why this is occurring. The article leaves out the key fact that Medicaid reimbursement rates have been cut yearly to the point they are so far below the private market or Medicare that almost no medical providers can afford to accept it. Providers are free to charge no show fees...

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    Thats not the vegan argument being made on this thread. There is piles of research documenting the negative health effects of eating sizable amounts of animal products. The animal cruelty and industrial farming aspects are separate moral arguments. As has been repeated, the only nutrient...

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    Its pretty clear your not going to read much about any of this material before just spouting off. So, I guess reading the Gundry book would be too much to ask, but reading the summary above was too much too? The guy is a renowned surgeon who has invented procedures. Like any ethical doctor...

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    So I finished the Gundry book. Its well written and compellingly argued, but I certainly wouldn't characterize it as a refinement on Fuhrman. The level of research and data support doesn't compare IMO. Just to summarize, the similarity between the two is focus on green vegetables, especially...

    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    Great post AMA! And, particularly thanks for the Dr. Grundy recommendation. Hadn't heard of him before. Downloaded his book and have already stayed up too late with it. He is a compelling writer. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TO681Y/ref=kcp_casc_buybook/?showKP=true
