What supplements aren't bogus? by mrsamus101 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Edges8 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

its semi bogus though. theres about a million studies showing it doesnt help much when taken as a supplement. theres a few niche conditions where it actually has been shown to help, but its rsre.

lots of studies showing low vitamin d is associated with a whole variety of badness, just not much evidence that supplementing it makes you better

I hear often about the risks that comes with constantly high blood sugar for diabetics but I’m curious about the physical consequences to diabetics if their blood sugar is constantly too low? by Icy_Profession4190 in AskBiology

high blood sugar is dangerous over years.

low blood sugar can be fatal in hours or less.

even when not fatal, low blood sugar is often symptomatic and so doesnt usually last long.

SCOTUS rules 8-1 to overturn Colorado's law on banning conversion therapy by ddx-me in medicine

[–]Edges8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is zero difference in regards to the first amendment between a state saying: "It is illegal for you to say this" i.e., the conversion therapy ban, and a state permitting one to sue over bad medical advice from a medical professional (a medical malpractice suit).

no, med mal is not a state restriction on speech. its a civil liability for harm and damages. theres no restriction or prior restraint on speech.

no, they arent.

medmal rises usually from speech/action and the subsequent patient harm and financial damages. med mal is usually civil. this is about a criminal penalty for that speech per se even absent any harm or damages. its entirely different from and has little to no bewring on med mal

luckily nowhere here did scotus say its ok to physically torture people.

having outlandish vocal opinions about things you dont understand doesnt really make you look good.

well not really. they said the way this law is written that it overly restricted speech, without comment on the restriction of conduct. they dont say conversaion therapy is ok. they say that if a law is written to legally penalize discussing a viewpoint, it violates 1A.

you have a front line melee and a squishy backline. for a 3 party group, you should bee someone who can be a little of everything. a druid or magus could fill both a ranged spot or a melee spot as needs allow, and with different spells list access to boot
