In addition to weight loss, fasting can reduce activated microglia in the brain which could play some part in this, as microglia was mentioned in the study.
Probably not. The line between fluorinated and nonflourinated is very clear. For more standard organic molecules like BPA small changes can actually change bio activity significantly.
Yes, PFAS and PFOA is a vast array of chemicals. My understanding is the EPA can only target specific chemicals for regulation. Therefore it is always cat and mouse when a new chain is added to change the chemical slightly in shape, but not function.
PFAS are a class of chemicals, not specific molecules. Depending on your database there are thousands or millions of them. Broadly they are fluorinated carbon chains of an arbitrary length. They are analogous to oils and fatty acids with Fluorine instead of Hydrogen. Banning them bans a wide arrange of industrial processes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-_and_polyfluoroalkyl_subst...
PFOA is a specific chemical, and probably one of the most widely used. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluorooctanoic_acid. It could be replaced by something like ADONA. So there is the cat and mouse game. But by banning PFAS in general, you can ban pretty much all fluorinated chemistry from consumer goods.
Here what the EPA is doing is banning impurities. Any chemical reaction will have some side products, especially organic chemistry, which are labeled as impurities. No matter the exact fluorinated chemical used in the reaction, it will produce some amount of PFAS as side products. By targeting the PFAS impurities, they don't have to ban a specific input chemical, they can ban large classes of chemicals that produce similar impurities.
Environmental groups involved in the case welcome the EPA’s decision to essentially ban Inhance’s fluorination process.
I would agree. I too met my wife on OkCupid and she happens to be the smartest woman I know. Her whole family is incredibly smart.
I had another OKC date from that era where the woman had a very high IQ, her father was a prolific author and her late 20’s brother was VP of ask.com at the time.
I had just assumed it was the Silicon Valley bubble clientele (and still just might’ve been). But only 3 years later I recall younger male coworkers describing how much dating apps declined and how terrible the dating scene had become with “swipe culture”.
I’ve found Marcus filly to be a great starting point for “functional bodybuilding”. He is an ex cross fitter with amazing physique but after rehabbing many injuries his programs and youtube videos emphasizes functional movements as a key foundational principle to all workouts.
Makes me wonder, would the heat cycle on a common dishwasher do similar things, coating the plastic dish in nano particular or is it specifically the microwave aspect?
“Other people tried to put tDCS on a cadaver and said that there wasn’t enough electricity that was penetrating the skull to make any difference in terms of action potentials. But the next meta-analysis found some effectiveness for depression and anxiety. The study[1], published in 2017, was one of the best out there.”
