Wow: Crossfit, Inc. Ends Use of FaceBook, Stating that FaceBook's Heavy-Handed Censorship Dictates That It Is No Longer Fit to Serve as a Marketplace of Ideas
I've knocked Crossfit before (chiefly because guys like Elgintensity told me to) but man, am I loving them today.
CROSSFIT, INC. SUSPENDS USE OF FACEBOOK AND ASSOCIATED PROPERTIES CrossFit is a contrarian physiological and nutrition prescription for improving fitness and health. It is contrarian because prevailing views of fitness, health, and nutrition are wrong and have unleashed a tsunami of chronic disease upon our friends, family, and communities. The voluntary CrossFit community of 15,000 affiliates and millions of individual adherents stands steadfastly and often alone against an unholy alliance of academia, government, and multinational food, beverage, and pharmaceutical companies. CrossFit, Inc. defends relentlessly the right of its affiliates, trainers, and athletes to practice CrossFit, build voluntary CrossFit associations and businesses, and speak openly and freely about the ideas and principles that animate our views of exercise, nutrition, and health. This website--and, until recently, CrossFit's Facebook and Instagram accounts--has long catalogued CrossFit's tireless defense of its community against overreaching governments, malicious competitors, and corrupt academic organizations. Recently, Facebook deleted without warning or explanation the Banting7DayMealPlan user group. The group has 1.65 million users who post testimonials and other information regarding the efficacy of a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. While the site has subsequently been reinstated (also without warning or explanation), Facebook's action should give any serious person reason to pause, especially those of us engaged in activities contrary to prevailing opinion.What they're getting at at the end there is that the US government's official dietary advice is completely wrong, and has been for fifty fucking years, causing millions of people to die earlier and live unhealthier lives, but because this completely wrong information is "official" that means all dissent is, per FaceBook, either "misinformation" or conspiracy theory -- and that's probably why FaceBook banned this "Banting" diet group. And a note on that: A man named Banting was one of the earlier people to publish a low-carb diet plan -- back in the 1800s. It worked then, it works now. The "new" and "untested" low carb/LCHF/Keto/Atkins diet is actually far older than the supposed tried-and-true government diet plan.
Facebook and its properties host and oversee a significant share of the marketplace of public thought. To millions of individuals and communities across the world, Facebook and its properties remain the platforms where ideas and information are exchanged. Facebook thus serves as a de facto authority over the public square, arbitrating a worldwide exchange of information as well as overseeing the security of the individuals and communities who entrust their ideas, work, and private data to this platform. This mandates a certain responsibility and assurance of good faith, transparency, and due process. CrossFit, Inc., as a voluntary user of and contributor to this marketplace, can and must remove itself from this particular manifestation of the public square when it becomes clear that such responsibilities are betrayed or reneged upon to the detriment of our community. Common decency demands that we do so, as do our convictions regarding fitness, health, and nutrition, which sit at the heart of CrossFit's identity and prescription. To this end, all activity on CrossFit, Inc.'s Facebook and Instagram accounts was suspended as of May 22, 2019, as CrossFit investigates the circumstances pertaining to Faceboo'’s deletion of the Banting7DayMealPlan and other well-known public complaints about the social-media company that may adversely impact the security and privacy of our global CrossFit community. These publicly sourced complaints include but are not limited to the following: 1. Facebook collects and aggregates user information and shares it with state and federal authorities, as well as security organizations from other countries. 2. Facebook collaborates with government security agencies on massive citizen surveillance programs such as PRISM. 3. Facebook censors and removes user accounts based on unknown criteria and at the request of third parties including government and foreign government agencies. 4. Facebook collects, aggregates, and sells user information as a matter of business. Its business model allows governments and businesses alike to use its algorithmically conjured advertising categories as sophisticated data-mining and surveillance tools. 5. Facebook's news feeds are censored and crafted to reflect the political leanings of Facebook's utopian socialists while remaining vulnerable to misinformation campaigns designed to stir up violence and prejudice. 6. Facebook, as a matter of business and principle, has weak intellectual property protections and is slow to close down IP theft accounts. 7. Facebook has poor security protocols and has been subject to the largest security breaches of user data in history. And finally, 8. Facebook is acting in the service of food and beverage industry interests by deleting the accounts of communities that have identified the corrupted nutritional science responsible for unchecked global chronic disease. In this, it follows the practices of Wikipedia and other private platforms that host public content but retain the ability to remove or silence--without the opportunity for real debate or appeal--information and perspectives outside a narrow scope of belief or thought. In this case, the approved perspective has resulted in the deaths of millions through preventable diseases. Facebook is thus complicit in the global chronic disease crisis. For these reasons, CrossFit, Inc. has placed Facebook and its associated properties under review and will no longer support or use Facebook's services until further notice.
And by the way -- how are the official US dietary recommendations working out? Oh, that's right, obesity and diabetes rates have soared since they've been adopted by the public. So FaceBook is doing with the nutrition debate what it does in the political debate: It decides there is one (1) correct view of an issue, that view being pushed by the same clatch of left-leaning bureaucrats who decide everything, and then bans anyone who proposes any other view. I've said this before, but if you read Gary Taubes on how the US government "science" on nutrition came to be, it's amazing: The fat-is-bad hypothesis became government-approved "fact" the same way that global warming did. Literally -- there was no actual scientific evidence backing the fat-is-bad hypothesis, so the ringleader pushing the theory, Ansel Keyes, created his own conference, sent out invitations to doctors he knew agreed with him, and then voted that the fat-is-bad hypothesis was true. They created a "consensus," in other words, and then, having no actual evidence to back their theory, claimed that a "consensus" was just as good as evidence. Even better, maybe! And now FaceBook has decided that the existence of a "consensus" is enough reason to squelch people's contrary opinions. All in the name of "safety" and "truth," you understand. So that's the end of all debate, all critique, all challenge: A corporate monopoly run by a weirdo nerd-weakling-on-a-power-trip will decide what the True Holy Book of Science and Right-Think says, and chase all the infidels into the shadows forever. Fuck. This. Shit. Finally, someone with some heft and cachet is standing up to FaceBook. Today I can say to CrossFit, Inc.: Bro, today, you definitely lift. BTW: This issue is important to CrossFit because while CrossFit has no official diet, I think about half of crossfitters are paleo (which is a cousin of keto), and then another quarter are keto. Are the rest vegans? Maybe the rest are vegans. I don't know. But CrossFitters are generally not followers of USDA dietary advice or the food pyramid. Mandy P. writes...
290 This Facebook thing is actually a really serious concern in the low carb and keto community. There are several prominent figures that have had their Wikipedia pages removed, and the belief is that it's due to vegan propagandists and activists. Jimmy Moore and Doctor Noakes are two really frequent targets.Yes, I thought of that too -- it's the vegans flagging these people for recommending high amounts of animal protein and fat. And what I thought was: Vegans are the sort of leftwing community Facebook would immediately obey, and start banning people based on their shrieks. Do you think someone could get vegans banned for the various lies they propagate? Nope!

Let's face it: ALL dietary advice - all of it - is laughably wrong. Every scintilla - ridiculous.
I've said this before, but if you read Gary Taubes on how the US government "science" on nutrition came to be, it's amazing:
Gary Taubes is a charlatan. He started out writing pop sci articles on physics, then realized the money was in diet/ nutrition bullshit, and switched over. He's a cut above Kevin Trudeau, but not two cuts. Time to wake up and smell the coffee.

>>So FaceBook is doing with the nutrition debate what it does in the political debate: It decides there is one (1) correct view of an issue, that view being pushed by the same clatch of left-leaning bureaucrats who decide everything, and then bans anyone who proposes any other view.
Doing this with anti-vaxxers, too, right?
I am not an anti-vaxxers, but I do think it is valid to question the *number* of vaccines required and the schedules recommended for getting them (several at once, etc.). That, and the fact that seemingly no one in government wants to acknowledge the impact of out of control immigration/open borders has on the spread of disease and degradation of herd immunity.
facebook is becoming mini-tru.

While I agree the government never gets anything right, if kids would stop eating sugar, soft drinks and chips... those are not in the food groups. Fast food?
And remember, so much of the processed food has corn syrup or some other type of crap in it if you are not eating pure food, without additives.
Eat real food, watch your caloric intake.
Kids eat junk and do not exercise. We are a wealthy nation with so many choices and indulgences.
People are free to eat whatever they want. It's their choice But, many children are not being raised on good, nutritious foods. That is on the parents.

@22: "Zuck also banned Tim Noakes, a South African doc who flipped to low carb."
I think too many folks give Zuck too much credit for what goes on in the moderation cubicles.
Yes, I assume he personally intervenes in some situations, but more often than not, I'd guess lower level minions are fully in charge.
One of the biggest problems with social media is that left leaning folks aren't just the majority of total users, they're the VAST majority of the subset containing activist users that actually take the time to flag and complain about stuff.
And the young kids who are tasked with reviewing algorithmic suspensions aren't gonna rock the boat when those suspensions reinforce their own preconceived political beliefs and trust in authority.

Oh wait you're not a farmhand? Oh well, get 6-11 servings of bread and potatoes per day anyway.

Anyone sticking with FB for anything other unavoidable narrow business purposes needs their head examined.
Users have no control whatsoever over what happens to the content they upload, the private messages they send, the summary of their use of the platform, or the information that is gathered from their mobile devices (which is basically every fucking thing that can possibly be gathered from them, mics and cameras included).
There is a misconception - among younger users, because they're gullible and don't think very hard about tech, and among older users, because they're just gullible - that you can simply set things "private", and that private messages are what their name implies. They are not. FB sells access to these with zero fucks given about what the third party does with them.
There is also a misconception that the potential data gathered from spying via GPS, Wifi usage, acelerometer, microphone, and camera is too much to realistically exploit. That is simply not the case, and not only do you have FB doing it, you have hundreds of creators of other apps that are FB affiliates also working on it.
The privacy issues are severe enough that we've cut off a number of family members from receiving pictures; people were doing stupid shit with them, even with the metadata removed.

Same goes throughout all of Silicon Valley.

The government works to ban everything that the body needs to survive: fat, sugar, salt, etc.
The government exists for only one thing: itself. It wants your money, to control you and to dictate how you live so it can grow itself exponentially.
It controls you by making you dependent on it via diet, health care and yes, gun control.
Facebook is the devil and must be destroyed.

The government exists for only one thing: itself. It wants your money, to control you and to dictate how you live so it can grow itself exponentially.
It controls you by making you dependent on it via diet, health care and yes, gun control.

Think about this: how could one experimentally determine the health benefits/ hazards of a given item? Subjects would have to eat that one item for days/ weeks/ months to obtain hard data. Otherwise, you'd have confounding variables all over the place, but even in this case, you'd have the confounding variable of the effect of eating such an unbalanced diet.
Conclusion: dietary studies, and the recommendations from them, are lousier science than climastrology.

I can still like the movies themselves. It's about story, not the world in which it takes place. I just let the assumptions of the world go, try to get a hold of them on the story's own terms, and then work from there.
Good example (that's removed from the corp question) is Children of Men. I find the world visually believable but not terribly logically cohesive (it's cowritten by an outright Marxist so it's a world built on Marxist assumptions). And I still love it.
Regarding Rollerball itself, I've seen most of it once 15 years ago, and I barely remember it.

And they wonder why their loinfruit can't pay attention for 5 nanoseconds when they're hopped up on high doses of caffeine and sugar and have ADD and all those other made up crap "diseases" that doctors can't find any medical evidence for?

At this point I think leaving Instagram is even more important than Facebook. For what I've seen, Instagram's demographics are younger and that's where the ad dollars are flowing.
Good on CrossFit, this probably will have actual monetary impact on it and it appears CrossFit is willing to pay that price.

164 Good example (that's removed from the corp question) is Children of Men.
I find the world visually believable but not terribly logically
cohesive (it's cowritten by an outright Marxist so it's a world built on
Marxist assumptions). And I still love it.
Not your point, but I loved the book and found the movie to be utterly uninteresting. I turned it off after 20 minutes.

I've heard they're very different beasts, though I've yet to read the book. I know that PD James was really Catholic and the book was infused with that. The movie has a heavy subtext around immigration that's not in the book, if I recall correctly.

@156: "156 Walter Freeman, that statement about Zilicon Valley immunization rates is serious? Wow."
Wired.com has an article from early 2015 titled: "THE SICKENINGLY LOW VACCINATION RATES AT SILICON VALLEY DAY CARES".
The story has been around for years, and a bunch of websites were bumping updates earlier this year.
The stats are pretty grim, and should lay to rest any notion that anti-vax stuff is driven by homeschoolers and crazy orthodox religious folks.

Hopefully other corporations will sit up and take note, and finally realize that conforming to leftist groupthink is NOT ht best way to please customers, but in fact is disastrous in the long run.

150: I'm not convinced about sugar and behavior. Growing up in the 60s, our schools sold candy at the lunch counter and used it for every fundraiser. We sat attentively in class. I attribute it to poor discipline from the parents and schools and decreasing parent child interactions coupled with a tendency for parents to protest any action toward unruly behavior. For the record, the teacher pupil ratio in my school was about 36:1, so class size was not an determinant of behavior.

You should watch it again, seriously. (The James Caan version, of course) It's one of my favorite movies of the 70's, and every year it gets more and more prescient. Now it's downright prophetic.
Really, the game is just the spectacle - watch for all the hints about the nature of the Society that has created such a world. Ours looks more and more like it every day.
Perhaps the creepiest part is where he figures out the there are no more actual libraries anymore, and all historical data has been collected into one huge worldwide database... and now parts are being systematically erased, whether accidentally or deliberately, we're never quite sure.

PBS Frontline did a two-part story on facebook a few months ago. It included the expected handwringing about how they helped sway the 2016 election thanks to Cambridge Analytica, but it also included some very telling interviews.
They interviewed a senior, well-established data security guy who had left facebook because they didn't take it as seriously as he wanted.
They also had a lot of footage of some of these facebook executives, the ones who had been there since the early day. Talk about unimpressive and in wayyy over their heads.
I would recommend watching it if you can find it online or on-demand on cable.

Ummm.... I go to a crossfit gym three times a week. Ain't no such thing as a crossfit machine. Most of your work is with barbells and body weight. Oh, and the odd kettlebell.
They *do* use machines though--cross country skiers, rowing machines, and my favorite, "assault" bikes.

I Give no shit about Facebook and their travails.
Don't use them, Twitter or any of the social media crap.
I keep the interaction at the point where it makes my personal life easier.
And THAT is quite a lot of interaction, unfortunately.

In the James Caan Rollerball, Jonathan is portrayed as a kind of athletic thug, no one thinks he has any intellect, no one respects his mind, just his muscle. But bit by bit, Jonathan becomes the only one in that world who starts to figure out what's really happening, what the nature of his world truly is. Well, others may know, but they all say the System is too Strong, too all-encompassing, you gotta do what you're told, don't cause trouble, don't think for yourself.
And the point of the movie is - how does One Man resist when the entire power structure of his world is dead set against him?

You know, companies were able to make money before Facebook.
A lot were sucked into Facebook by the mirage of $0 new customer acquisition cost.
The reality is, people who don't want to pay for information, won't buy your product; and exactly zero people like having ads inserted in their feed

There's basically a running joke in Silicon Valley about how long company founders will stay after Facebook acquires their company. Everyone says they're happy with the independence promised by Zuck, but they're always gone within a year or two.

No causal relationship between sugar consumption and hyperactivity has been established. Kids used to get recess and long lunch breaks during which they could run around and maul each other, in addition to any PE classes they had. Now lunch breaks are barely long enough for you to finish your food, and recess is no more. Sugar isn't the problem, preventing kids from blowing off steam during the day is.

Both main branches of my family tree ate high fat foods - however both led highly physical farming lives (cattle and apples). They ate lots of carbs as well.
Hard work. Rise with the sun. Two hours chores then breakfast. Work. Supper at 1pm ish. A sixty minute nap. Back to work. Dinner. Bed

all those other made up crap "diseases" that doctors can't find any medical evidence for?
I wonder how many of them are, in essence, mental problems. Not
hypochondria but something our minds ordinarily deal with or compensate
for but, because our compensation mechanism is out of whack, suddenly
become all-consuming.
I have an ADD daughter. When she was younger, she completely lacked focus in anything. She was diagnosed and medicated, and the transformation was immediate and nothing short of miraculous. She's brilliant and accomplished.
ADD is undeniably over-diagnosed, but to suggest it's a made up crap disease is ignorant. Learn something before you spout off.

Oh, forgot, before The Cold Blue yesterday, went to CFA for the divine peach hate-shakes. This location was really good. MIA table [Marine Corps] next to the entrance, all the service flags hanging from the ceiling, skeery skeery poster showing military sniper, and another with a touching "thanks for your service" scene. We all commented on how it was almost like a bit of America, in America [well, CA - but the most "military" major metropolitan area in the country], and a perfect warm-up for the movie, of course.

Dutch cocoa is very low in carbs... I make a hot chocolate with cocoa and sugar substitute and cream... Tastes delicious.

204: Actually our recess was closer to 20 minutes, our school had a "disciplinarian" on staff. Parents normally sided with the staff and the teachers had no issue assigning punitive assignments, staying after school to wash the chalkboards, or frequent parent meetings. Nearly all of us had moms at home who would be marshalled in if there were problems, and shaming someone for poor conduct was not litigated.

Sorry if I left that impression, as I didn't mean to. Nor did I wish to say that some of the problems people have are "made up crap diseases". Nor did I wish to say that people suffering from them are attention addicts or hypochondriacs.

180 You should watch it again, seriously. (The James Caan version, of
course) It's one of my favorite movies of the 70's, and every year it
gets more and more prescient. Now it's downright prophetic.
Really, the game is just the spectacle - watch for all the hints
about the nature of the Society that has created such a world. Ours
looks more and more like it every day.
Perhaps the creepiest part is where he figures out the there are no
more actual libraries anymore, and all historical data has been
collected into one huge worldwide database... and now parts are being
systematically erased, whether accidentally or deliberately, we're never
quite sure.

I was 10 mins late to a workout last week so I started doing overhead presses at 115 with no warm up sets. Not a good call.

I've been writing film reviews for years and always posted them on FB with no problem. Recently, I saw RED JOAN and posted my review. I mentioned the word spying since the movie was about espionage. It was flagged and removed because it violated FB community standards. I followed up but got no reasoning, and assume it had something to do with my descriptor of 'spying.' A few weeks went by and I reposted just saying 'here is a review' and it was allowed through. The new standards are too mysterious and arbitrary...or are they?

This Facebook thing is actually a really serious concern in the low carb and keto community. There are several prominent figures that have had their Wikipedia pages removed, and the belief is that it's due to vegan propagandists and activists. Jimmy Moore and Doctor Noakes are two really frequent targets.
There is one group, the 2KetoDudes (they run a podcast) that moved their entire operation to a private forum about a year or so ago. I don't know how much of their audience they actually took with them, but for other groups and companies it's starting to look like it may need to be an option. We are definitely chatting about it behind the scenes.

Oh and Human Resources is neither human nor a resource. Idiots.
The biggest cancer--after HR--in corporations today, is that their
marketing and public relations departments are stuffed with people who
don't buy the product their company sells
So a three-whisker soy boy and a lumberdyke tell a razor company more women will buy their razors if they would bash men a bit

Radical veganism being an offshoot of the most vigilant doomsday environmental activism, so yeah, those folks are precisely the kinda people who would bang on their keyboards until they "win" their crusade, no matter how petty.

There is sugar (in whatever form) in so much "food". Kids are getting it for breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner. I do not mean in natural forms either, like an apple.
Posted by: artisanal 'ette at May 24, 2019 01:37 PM (vEIlU)
The quantity is relevant; the origin is not. Sugar is sugar, no matter where it comes from. "Natural forms" are exactly the same as "unnatural forms," whatever those would be.

234 206 Of course, I myself make zero attempt to follow any kind of "lo-carb" diet. Right now I'm drinking a hot mocha made with real Dutch cocoa (which I brought back from Holland), Demerara sugar, and home-made cold-brew half-decaf Ugandan coffee.
Dutch cocoa is very low in carbs... I make a hot chocolate with cocoa and sugar substitute and cream... Tastes delicious.
Posted by: It's me donna
If you can tolerate thew taste of sugar substitute, then go for it. I myself cannot resist real sucrose with real disaccharides. I've participated in doing in-house food startup studies that showed that the human tastebuds really do have a notable preference for disaccharides (i.e cane sugar) over lame ol' monosaccharides (i.e. corn syrup, fructose, etc.). It's the reason why "Mexican Coke" (made with real disaccharide cane sugar) always defeats plain American Coke (made with cheap corn syrup) in taste tests. Otherwise, the two versions of Coke are exactly identical.
Disaccharides taste even better if the cane juice isn't refined as much, which is why I always use Demerara sugar if possible. Turbinado and Muscovado are OK too, best Demerara is the best.

I wonder how many of them are, in essence, mental problems. Not
hypochondria but something our minds ordinarily deal with or compensate
for but, because our compensation mechanism is out of whack, suddenly
become all-consuming.
I've wondered about that too. I'm sure everyone here is somewhat familiar with "the placebo effect." That there's some scary shit IMO.
And I agree with the lack of discipline, too. Thanks a lot, Dr. Benjamin Spock, for screwing up several generations of children and their parents, you bastard.
But still, having little kids full of sugar and caffeine certainly doesn't help.

I have to think that this may be the Achilles Heel for the whole proposition-- that this kind of data mining really doesn't change people's behavior significantly. Shoving more ads at people, 'targeted' or not, doesn't mean they simply won't become better at ignoring them, making them no more effective than they ever were.

I've read Taube's book. He does an excellent job of explaining where the high carb/lo wfat diet came from. (George McGovern had a hand in it. Are you surprised?) I don't take my nutritional advice from him. But I don't think you need to be a credentialed scientist to show where the government nutritional theories are wrong.
Every year, when we get new insurance at work, we have to go through this thing of doing a health survery. I stop when they tell me to go low fat.

Disaccharides taste even better if the cane juice isn't refined as much, which is why I always use Demerara sugar if possible. Turbinado and Muscovado are OK too, best Demerara is the best.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that ADD didn't exist, but I believe it's misdiagnosed more often than not, especially if it's a teacher saying a student has it. 98% of the time, it's a boy student and boys are naturally more active than girls of the same age.
They need to reinstate recess and PE. Let the little yard apes burn off some energy and they'll pay attention better in class. And stop drugging boys. They don't act like girls and never will.
OK, life beckons, BBL. Y'all settle down and try to behave...

My personal evolutionary biology theory as to why humans prefer disaccharides is that there are really only three disaccharides possible in our diet: Sucrose, maltose, and lactose.
However, sucrose comes from a plant (sugar cane) that until very recently in human history only ever grew in one specific place (Papua New Guinea) so 99% of humanity never tasted sucrose while we evolved. And maltose can only be created by doing a complicated germination/dehydration process with certain grains, and thus also was unavailable to the human diet until very recently in evolutionary history.
Ah, but lactose, that has always been available to us -- in the form of mother's milk. For millions of years, the only disaccharides a human could ever even possibly experience was in mother's milk. So we evolved to associate that specific kind of sweetness with the life-giving/emotional bonding experience of breastfeeding when we're babies.
When we taste disaccharides, we are instantly transported back to that perfect time in infancy. That's why disaccharides are so addictive and taste so much better to us.
Sucrose (and the much rarer but still delicious maltose) short-circuit the brain and triggers the same kind of pleasure we remember from being newborns.
And yes, it's pretty much the same reason why adult men like boobs so much. They can't help it --it's genetically ingrained.
On the other hand, monosaccharides are what early man ate once we're grown up (fruits, etc.), so don't have the same core-experience associations.
That's my theory and I'm stickling by it.

The biggest problem is a mismatch between diet and activity level. If you're going out to plow the back 40, then you need a huge calorie-laden breakfast to power through until lunch.
If you're going to the server farm to swap out some hardware, not so much. You can get away with a small snack instead of a full meal without ever feeling hungry.
As a whole, we're still eating like hard-working laborers, when most of society isn't.

As a whole, we're still eating like hard-working laborers, when most of society isn't.

Have you ever seen "The Trouble With Angels" which is a great 60's film which stars Haley Mills as a RC high school girl and Rosalind Russell as the Mother Superior. Anyway, there is an obnoxious character in it whose name is Marvel Ann. I don't know why I thought of that when I read your post, but I did.

Yes, it has a lot to it. It's funny and also has some deeply serious and spiritual moments. For some reason-maybe because he was raised as a RC-my husband loves to watch that film. We've seen it about 10 times I also think Rosalind Russell was a great actress and could do so much with just a lift of her eyebrow and vocal inflection.

this will probably get willowed:
on the processed vs unprocessed carbs/sugar
unprocessed carbs have lower Glycemic Index - meaning they will take longer to raise your blood sugar, which is why they are perceived as healthy
but in the long term, unprocessed carbs often cause cumulative damage to your intestinal lining, leading to autoimmune diseases

Nutritionally, yes, all sugars eventually are equal in the body.
I'm talking about TASTE preference, not nutritional profile.
Disaccharides DO have a different taste to the human tongue/palate, and in some as-yet unquantified way, they DO produce some extra kind of emotional "rush" in the first few seconds after eating.
Ultimately, once digested, of course, they have the exact same calories as any sugar. A teaspoon of sucrose will make you just as fat as a teaspoon of glucose pr fructose. Of course.

We can talk about whether or not HF corn syrup is the issue. I would suggest that you look at old photos (maybe from the 1900s) of fat people. Because fat today gets distributed in odd ways. People now get fat pads on the back of their necks, for instance. There is something in today's food that is being handled differently.

Seems like it would be much easier to come up with an alternative to FB. One that didn't deplatform or look like shit or work like ass? Maybe there is one, but I haven't heard of it.

@440: "I love eating steak in front of vegans and veggies. The looks they give me makes the meat that much more flavorful."
Back in the '90s, I lived in England, and worked with some wild eyed activists, social and environmental.
Several were vegan, but one was a pint loving, cigarette rolling, true blooded Englishman who made a point of frying up blood sausage for lunch in the shared kitchen.
Good times.

The problem was when the corps went corporate. Hiring turned over to HR. HR hires leftists and grievance mongering Diversity YaY types. Who hire more like them. Soon HR controls what you can say, who you can hire.
I saw it happen in real time at MSFT.

They're all in for using what they've built to be a propaganda machine for their personal politics. Usually its a blend of social marxism with globalism.

I have friends who totally went on a no carb diet. Like almost izero carbs including veggies. They can't figure out why their endurance sucks and they don't have any energy without supplements.

What I did sometimes is have a coffee with cream AFTER I break fast. Like if I needed coffee mid-day, then I'd have my coffee with cream.

On the subject of ADD/ADHD, yes, there really is such a thing. It's got a neurochemical component and everything. I've known people who have it and respond to medication. The problem is that it is overprescribed. But that doesn't change the fact that some people legitimately have it and legitimately respond to treatment.

>>>
What about beet sugar? When and where was that harvested?
this is interesting. When France was blockaded by England during the Napoleonic wars, France was starved of sugar, so Napoleon paid scientists and botanists to figure out how to refine sugar from beets (which france could grow).
But here's the thing: Sugar cane is hard and expensive to grow. Apparently the farming of it is so hellish they mostly used slaves to do it.
Consequently, sugar was very expensive until the 1840s or so.
But the refining of sugar from beets was a game-changer and sugar prices plunged after that, and sugar started being put into everything.
and poor people started getting fat, and getting diabetes-- previously, only rich folk had managed that, because only they had regular access to sugar (and of course, highly refined white bread too).
it's a weird thing, the reverse of the current situation, but poor people used to be thin and used to have all of their teeth, while the rich were fat and had mouths full of cavities and dentures.

>>> All I know about low carb diets is I've been on one since September and I've dropped 55 lbs and my A1C has gone from 7.1 in September to 6.4 in December. I've kind of leveled out now, all the easy pounds are gone, but I'd like to lose another 45-50 pounds before I'm all done.
that kind of happened to me, too. that's why i'm fasting. there's just that fifteen pounds of excess fat (above a fit amount of fat) that just won't let go.
Or rather: When I start to cut into that, I get hungry and start breaking rules. like that fat is influencing my hormones to get my brain to protect it.

No. But about 1/3 of kids with autism have changes in behavior with changes in diet. 2/3 it has no effect at all. So it is worth a try. If it works for you or your kid, then great. If it doesn't then experiment a bit, but don't beat it to death. It is worth trying, but don't go bankrupt trying endless diet combinations/special foods. If a few obvious changes don't help, then probably it won't help.

Speaking of unscientific yet far-reaching government policies, consider the linear model of toxicity. The idea is that if a certain toxin exposure level produces X level of risk, exposure to 1/1000 of that toxin level produces 1/1000 the risk level. Non-linear response, and very importantly, threshold level of exposure, are never considered.
The linear model was the idea of one guy who pushed it hard. There is no scientific basis for it,
and it causes unnecessary, very costly restrictions and expense.

Then explorers/traders from India discovered it (apparently -- its discovery was not recorded or noted down anywhere), and brought back to India sometime B.C. - -we're not sure when. But even after that, sugar cane was confined to India for many hundreds of years, and made into kind of rough sugar crystals called "jaggery." It was traded (as a precious spice) to the Persians and thence to Europe, but very little ever reached the West. It was only when the Arabs tried to invade India that sugar became more commonplace; they were repelled militarily, hut during the invasion they "discovered" sugar cane growing and took some plants back with them, and planted the canes first in Mesopotamia, and then ultimately on Crete, and processed the juice in Europe's only sugar refinery at a Cretan town that came to be called Qandi, named after the Sanskrit word for "lump of jaggery." Which, by the way, is the origin of the word "candy" -- candy originally was just crystallized sugar on a stick from this Cretan refinery, and was spelled "sucre de candi" by the French Crusaders who first encountered it.

Ever hear the theory that the Roman Empire helped weed out levels of near sightedness?
If you were near sighted, you couldn't be an archer, so you were dedicated to front line praetorian work which, I guess, had a higher death rate.

According to the Fettkes out of Australia, yes. Apparently, vegetarianism is a big Seventh Day Adventist thing and there are prominent members of that religious group that influenced the dietary guidelines. I dunno if they mean that exclusively in re: the guidelines in Oz.
As far as FB for marketing goes, it's ass, but it wasn't always that way. A year or two ago, marketing in our rating a ton of business, but as they've changed their algorithms any ads we put up, again within our own community groups, get buried very quickly. You borderline have to spam the groups with your ads to get views. It's the same on personal and business pages. Very little of your audience sees what you post, and you get incessant pushes from FB proper to pay them to "boost" your posts to try and get more eyes on them. I'm sure that means they bury the non-paid ones to entice people into paying.
It used to be a decent platform for business, but as time goes on it's gotten to be a crappy one.

I certainly didn't mean to imply that ADD didn't exist, but I believe it's misdiagnosed more often than not, especially if it's a teacher saying a student has it. 98% of the time, it's a boy student and boys are naturally more active than girls of the same age.
They need to reinstate recess and PE. Let the little yard apes burn off some energy and they'll pay attention better in class. And stop drugging boys. They don't act like girls and never will.
=======
Interestingly enough. Studies with kids, boys and girls, neurotypical and those with special needs, have shown everyone learns better after physical activity. Although the improvement is more marked in boys. It is the most marked in kids with autism. Activity is critical to learning in children.

Pregnancy is not comfortable. It is not attractive. Many women suffer through constant sickness. The after effects on the body can be life-long. I know many people say things about the beauty of a pregnant woman, the glow, etc. I just don't understand why so many girls/women allow themselves to go through this only to get an abortion at some point, even at the worst point, when it is so very easy to prevent in the first place. You get pregnant because you want to have a baby. Why in the world so many use abortion as the birth control is mind boggling.

On the subject of ADD/ADHD, yes, there really is
such a thing. It's got a neurochemical component and everything. I've
known people who have it and respond to medication. The problem is that
it is overprescribed. But that doesn't change the fact that some people
legitimately have it and legitimately respond to treatment.
Posted by: Big Carb at May 24, 2019 02:11 PM (RD7QR)[i/]
Since I've married a teacher and seen how the education sausage is made, so to speak, I've learned a lot about things that I thought I already knew.
ADD is real, and it is heartbreaking. There is a kid in Mrs Hade's class that was recently put on his meds...and now he's normal. Before he couldn't sit, couldn't concentrate, couldn't do anything but run around and be a nut. Now he's not a mind-numbed zombie, he is bright and engaged and has gone from a failing student to one of her best.
I still believe it is over prescribed and wrongly medicated in a lot of instances, but when it works, the difference is astounding.
And when the medication is actually given to the kid instead of sold on the street. Which is a thing.

Given the incredible lack of sales I'm getting from books despite thousands of followers on social media, I'm leaning toward walking away, too. I was told that was a good way to get book sales; create a platform, people learn who you are, make them happy, pitch your books every so often.
The biggest problem with self publishing is the lack of outreach: how can you sell books to people who've never heard of them? But either I'm lousy at it, or social media isn't working any longer -- if it ever did -- as a sales platform.

Same deal with the cane fields on Oahu in the '70s. Us kids LOVED it when they'd burn the fields, the black ash would come down with long strips of the cane stalks. You could see the veins and texture of the plant as long as you caught it in mid-air. Handle it the slightest bit roughly and it'd break down into black ash powder.

That's a good question. I don't think much research has been done on the origins and history of refining sugar-beet juice. It's the one "counter-example" to my theory, because sugar-beets can grow in colder climates, and thus humans could have had access to disaccharides earlier in history, if we had just known how to refine the juice of these specific tubers. Don't know when that practice started. It may have just been a way to compensate for cane-sgugars shortages and expense at some point, and didn't pre-date cane sugar.

I'm at a lower sales point than you, but my little blog seems to drive the meager sales that I do see.
I'll keep my blog tied to my Twitter account (and I have a "business" Facebook account that I should link it to), but the blog is where real thoughts go.
I'm trying to attract people there, where long form communication seems more natural.
The biggest problem with self publishing is the lack of outreach: how can you sell books to people who've never heard of them? But either I'm lousy at it, or social media isn't working any longer -- if it ever did -- as a sales platform.

It's also a popular way of getting rid of the cane stalks which are like wood. I don't know if they still do it because global warming but that was how they used to prepare the fields at the end of the season in PR.

South Louisiana, where a lot of cane is grown - at the right time of year, the horizon is full of columns of smoke from the cane fields.

Just make a tray out of aluminum foil. Fill it with coarse sea salt and slide it into the smoker when it is in use.

ADD is real, and it is heartbreaking. There is a kid in Mrs Hade's class that was recently put on his meds...and now he's normal. Before he couldn't sit, couldn't concentrate, couldn't do anything but run around and be a nut. Now he's not a mind-numbed zombie, he is bright and engaged and has gone from a failing student to one of her best.
I still believe it is over prescribed and wrongly medicated in a lot of instances, but when it works, the difference is astounding.
And when the medication is actually given to the kid instead of sold on the street. Which is a thing.

What helps is testing. I had to do a 6 hour test before my doctor would prescribe it.

What about beet sugar? When and where was that harvested?
this is interesting. When France was blockaded by England during the Napoleonic wars, France was starved of sugar, so Napoleon paid scientists and botanists to figure out how to refine sugar from beets (which france could grow).
But here's the thing: Sugar cane is hard and expensive to grow. Apparently the farming of it is so hellish they mostly used slaves to do it.
Consequently, sugar was very expensive until the 1840s or so.
But the refining of sugar from beets was a game-changer and sugar prices plunged after that, and sugar started being put into everything.
and poor people started getting fat, and getting diabetes-- previously, only rich folk had managed that, because only they had regular access to sugar (and of course, highly refined white bread too).
it's a weird thing, the reverse of the current situation, but poor people used to be thin and used to have all of their teeth, while the rich were fat and had mouths full of cavities and dentures.

Great historical info! This fills in some blanks in my history knowledge-base.
So, yes, sugar from beets came AFTER sugar from canes, as a cheaper substitute. And by sheer chance, it also was disaccharide.

My mother, who moved her in 1934, said the old-timers then referred to sidewalks as "bankets." It took me a while to find that reference: It was from French "banquettes" or "little banks," since that was what the sidewalks turned into every time it rained heavily.

Soy Cuba, the Soviet propaganda film, had a segment that ended with a cane sugar field burning.
Of course, it was in defiance of the bourgeoisie.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
Aside from the Communist propaganda aspect, that was an amazing film. The first 15 minutes especially -- the one single tracking shot that went through multiple scenes -- incredible. Top-notch cinematography.
The final scene with the burning sugar cane fields was just a glorification of Castro's rebellion, and forehead-slappingly heavy-handed. But great visuals.

We don't know the details, but early explorers did follow the coastline down through what is now Bangladesh-Burma-Thailand-Malaysia-Indonesia, to New Guinea. They never really had to go out into the open ocean, so it wasn't that difficult - -just crawl along, hugging the coastline. We can trace the explorations only through the resultant "crop exchanges."

"A man named Banting was one of the earlier people to publish a low-carb diet plan -- back in the 1800s."
I wonder if he's related to Frederick Banting, the Canadian who was the co-discoverer of insulin back in the 1920s.
