Years ago when I noticed my blood sugar starting to rise, I cut out all sugars and starchy foods like potatoes, rice, bread, cakes, cookies, candies, etc. I started using stevia in my morning coffee. It soon started bugging me though because it gave me a funny feeling in my mouth and made me drool. I reverted to a single spoonful of pure cane sugar in my coffee. Within a few months I'd lost 30lb and when I asked my doctor how my blood sugar was, she replied, "remarkably better, in fact better than mine".

I later did some research and found an article from the University of California medical school explaining the glycemic chemistry of fructose and how it affects our blood sugar levels, and hence diabetes. It seems fructose is really a poison but nature provides an antidote in the form of fiber. Unfortunately most commercially available fruit juices have had all the fiber filtered out of them. Almost all soft drinks except pure soda water contain a particularly unhealthy ingredient called high-fructose corn syrup or glucose-fructose without any fiber. Fructose is sweeter than sucrose so sleazy businesses can save a buck by using a smaller (and thus cheaper) amount of fructose in their products than they would with real cane or beet sugar. At least in Mexico they still use real cane sugar in their Coca-Cola.

I'm not at my principle residence where I have access to the article I'm citing but if I get a chance I'll post a link.

TLDR- Stevia's OK but real cane sucrose is better.

I suppose from experience you might know that you are going to have several options, and I imagine that some employers offer 401ks or various kinds of funds to employees, but they might not have very many options... .. It would be interesting to here what kinds of options that people have, and historically various kinds of government 401ks have not had any options for ETFs, and they have ONLY offered various kinds of index funds, so it will be interesting to see if some employers might start to offer more kinds of options in the funds that are available to the employees.

There may be zero calories in Coke Zero but the artificial sweeteners in diet/zero drinks are more difficult for our body to process. It's advisable to take carbonated drinks as little as possible.

“While soda and other carbonated drinks have been associated with negative health effects, carbonation is not harmful in and of itself,”

Since caffeine is considered a drug, anyone who drinks coffee everyday is technically a drug addict. Good on you for staying clean

Mushrooms and coffee? I don't think my stomach could keep that down.

 Thanks for the tip!  Is this better?

I really like this, doing more than most exchanges in the space have

A few years ago, I took a shortcut while making a hat for cygan.  I looked and looked for his original avatar in a large enough size to work with but the largest image was only 80X80 px and the square patch on the hat is about 250X250 px.  Never having seen a 1 Deutsche mark coin before, I didn't know the basis for the "bitcoin" he was using - I thought it was an image of a collectible but I coudn't find it anywhere.  Fast forward to today and after a couple of PMs I was enlightened.  I asked him if the 1994 on the coin had any significance and he said "No" and suggested that 2009 would be more appropriate.

 This is what he used to use:



and here's the new coin I minted today because as you know, there were no Deutsche marks minted after ~2001 (it can never be easy):



and subsequently placed on a newly constructed original:



as avatar-szed it looks like this


 Originally, I only made this one and only in this size:

 

I think all the corners I cut have now come back to bite me (only wrt hats though)

Do you live on another planet?

The BTC halving is now less than 100 days away.

New ATH incoming?

Very few people can be found here who take the decision to invest around the age of sixty.

The stars are aligned for $200k Bitcoin in 2025.

Apparently, David Hasselhoff reacts to acceleration faster than his passenger... So funny!

I remember I was hooked on that show.

Initially there were many in the race for the first spot Bitcoin ETF: BlackRock, VanEck, Grayscale Investments, Hashdex, Valkyrie, Fidelity, Invesco, WisdomTree, Ark 21 Shares, and Franklin Templeton.

Now only Grayscale, VanEck and Fidelity have filed their 8-A.

A Form 8-A is typically filed when an ETF is approved.

Any of us in bitcoin should be able to make up the difference between 62 and 68 or whatever it might be, so I am sort of a fan to just start collecting it right away.. but surely the variables are going to differ. .and then how much is it that you need in order to be at fuck you status (even if you are not completely there)?  

Let's say for example that a few years ago, you thought that your social security, pension and 401k and/or whatever else you have (not counting bitcoin) was going to be able to pay around 140% of your monthly expenses, but then a lot of things might have had to have been cut in half in regards to your expectations, so I am not saying any of that would be going to zero, including social security, but the debased dollars are likely causing it to be way lees able to pay your expenses than you had anticipated.. Accordingly, you need a supplement, and in comes bitcoin... so maybe you don't have full entry level fuck you status with bitcoin but if you have 50% of entry-level fuck you status, then it may well be enough to supplement your other items... yet with anything, it sure would feel comfortable to have a wee bit of a cushion, and likely bitcoin will have good chances of keeping up with inflation (debasement) in such a way that it makes up for several of the short-falls of the other funds..

Of course, we likely don't have guarantees, yet bitcoin does seem to be an ongoingly great hedge as a supplement income..
