Sure, but my point is: how is this going to turn into votes? These would be state races, and Ken Paxton is unpopular. Seems like a loser issue to hang your hat upon.
Additionally, working out causes muscle micro tears (from what I understand), which is part of the mechanism for building muscle. Like you said, no amount of imagination will produce the physical effects of exercise.
I’m not an expert, but I clicked on the link to the studies and got this jargle:
At PAIST (ProxiHealthcare Advanced Institute for Science and Technology), our in-house research laboratory, we continuously expand our research on…
Emphasis mine. This is a huge red flag. Additionally, they don’t have basic links to the studies in reputable journals. You have to email them to get the studies, which makes me suspicious that it has any kind of objective peer review.
I did find this 2016 paper, however. No idea if Science Direct is reputable. The notable section is this:
For the biofilm treatment, an electric signal with increased total electrical energy, 0.25 V amplitude sinusoidal signal at 10 MHz with a 0.25 V DC offset, was applied in combination with low doses of the antibiotic gentamicin (10 μg/mL) for the BE.
They’re essentially trying to do the same thing here, with Fluoride being their analogous antibiotic. The electricity at that frequency is supposed to break up a protective “biofilm” the bacteria produces, ostensibly allowing the fluoride to do its work.
However, I fail to see how it’s significantly better than just brushing your teeth, which is what the brushing is supposed to do. Furthermore, what happens to plaque? Or the dead bacteria? Does it just stay on your teeth?
The inventor is a PhD Electrical Engineer, so this just seems like an over-engineered toothbrush to me.
I can’t remember where the poll is, but I saw a breakdown of that vote by recent moves to Texas vs. established Texans (5+ years), and 57% of the recent moves voted for Abbott, and 52% of established Texans voted for Beto. Coupled with the Republican voters in Texas, it was more than enough to swing that election (plus, turnout was abysmal at, like, 24% overall, iirc).
Now, a sizeable number of those recent moves came from rural California. Texas was their Conservative dystopia they wanted to live in; but notice I said “was.” Florida has become the new dystopia for Conservatives, so I think Texas Republicans’ days are numbered if they keep on this anti-bodily-autonony kick.
It’s like these people get to the “ashamed of your past” stage and don’t move on to “learn from it” like most people.
Sorry you feel bad about your ancestors being slavers, lady. Maybe try cleaning up your family’s name by making a good legacy, instead of being the same kind of revisionist asshole trying to justify slavery by any means necessary.
I’m not a biologist, doctor, or chemist, but my guess is “no.” We have evolved to use oxygen to create energy within our cells, not some other gas.
I would hazard an additional guess that it’s not a simple matter to just swap out the oxygen molecules for something else. Carbon monoxide binds better and more readily to our cells, yet that mixture would asphyxiate you.
They talk around it and try to couch it in scientific jargon, it sounds like they’re using it to produce lactic acid only, so no alcohol, which is then sterilised and filtered to death before being used as an additive.
Seems like a lot of work to make sour beer, but I have no doubt these will sell out in no time regardless, due to the provenance.
And this all assumes that they aren’t just lieing about it.
And I had to ask, because it sounds a lot like a recipe for snake oil.
One of the most important aspects of these brewers yeasts versus regular bakers yeasts or wild yeasts (like a sourdough starter) is that they can thrive in higher alcohol environments, allowing them to convert more sugar into alcohol…
And it was this aspect that I learned about just a few days prior that led me to question the whole thing. For the purposes of making what average people would consider beer, it seemed like you couldn’t just swap in whatever you wanted.
