There is actually no scientific evidence that artificial sweeteners are harmful for the digestive system in the amounts humans regularly consume them. compared to cardio-vascular health and the evidence of the effect of sugar therefore is way stronger. of course it is best to abstain from both the best you can, but if you needed to choose it is always better to grab the artificial sweetener than the dice of sugar

The fact that so many trust social media over experienced and trained experts is utterly confounding to me. China made it illegal to give advice on health/safety subjects your are not an expert in on social media - we should follow suit.

I appreciate this, especially considering how often people get their medical advice from non-experts and influencers.

That said, one of my least favorite things doctors say is that you need to avoid stress. I’m not saying they’re wrong or that what they’re asking isn’t good advice. It is. If you can find a way to live with less stress, it’s incredible for your overall health.

The problem is, how is that possible? It feels very much impossible. Maybe I’m just abnormally anxious (who isn’t any more; and yes, I absolutely am) but it feels impossible to live with little to no stress. Honestly, even a medium sized amount of stress feels utterly impossible. Even with regular therapy.

Anybody got an answer to solve that riddle?

Health is true wealth because it can't be bought. It can't be truly revived if damaged. In addition, it's the reason for our very existence.

In 2019 I removed junk food / meat / dairy out of my diet and switched to eating a variety of fiber filled whole plant foods. Whole grains, beans, fruits veg, nuts, & seeds. 🥦🍞🫘🍠🍏
I poop 3 times a day, quickly, smoothly, & easily.
I'm happy to have a happy gut.

Presented by Colgate Total, which contains an anitbacterial agent called Triclosan that will probably damage your biome and disrupt your hormones. Nice one Vox.

Why is dietary fiber considered the ultimate motivational speaker? Because no matter how stuck you feel, it always knows exactly how to inspire a massive movement.

Why did the probiotic break up with the fast food? It realized the relationship was completely toxic and they had no common culture.
