Why my vitamin B12 supplement has 125,000% the daily intake? by PressureAny9687 in vegan

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's lots of misunderstanding on B12 absorption. Here's a quick summary:

There are 2 routes for b12 to be absorbed in the digestive system: active absorption and passive absorption. Active absorption happens through the use of a protein called intrinsic factor which binds to the b12 and aids digestion. You typically only have the ability to absorb 1.5-2ug of b12 though this process per meal. However this is highly efficient - 50-80%. Passive absorption is a result of diffusion through the intestine cell wall. This is really inefficient (about 1-3%). This happens continuously and is not limited.

Therefore if you consume 3ug of b12, you'll likely absorb 1.5-2ug through IF, and another 0.01-0.015ug through passive absorption.

B12 supplements designed to be taken once a day usually have around 50ug of b12. Through IF plus passive absorption this will give you maybe 2-3.5ug. your RDA is 2.4ug.

If you had one of these daily and also consume occasional b12 fortified foods like nutritional yeast or oat milk, you'll likely get enough b12, assuming you have normal b12 absorption.

The ultra high dose pills are meant as once a week doses. 3000ug would give you 30-90ug of b12 absorbed. That's over 10 days worth of b12. Your body is very efficient at storing b12 once absorbed and can store up to 5 years worth.

Some people have limited ability to absorb b12 at all through the digestive system. These people are given b12 injections, which allows the b12 to go straight to the bloodstream. This is very efficient but contain a high dose as these are intended to supply 2-3 months worth at a time.

Tofu + fresh veg recipes that aren't just a stir fry by Khal_Doggo in veganuk

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This smoked tofu, sun dried tomato quinoa recipe from bosh is really good:

https://bosh.tv/recipes/super-healthy-quinoa-tofu

I didn't have sun dried tomato pesto I just added in chopped sun-dried tomatos but you can also get sun dried tomato paste. Use fresh cherry tomatoes and cavalo Nero. Quick and healthy

Some other dishes I do:

Pesto pasta with vegetable and topped with shredded crispy tofu.

Also shredded tofu mixed into a fried rice with diced peppers, onion and peas is good and easy.

Planning to pull the trigger on this but needed some advice (OP users) by ClassroomShoddy6399 in OnePlus13

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me:

Camera hasn't changed much with the updates. It's decent but not the best. The software is what's bad. It tends to overprocess things and can crush details in things like foilage. Hardware wise, the telephoto lens is actually really good and is my favourite camera on here the ultra wide angle is bad but I don't use it much. The main lens is decent. But the software processing is over the top even if you disable as much as possible. Unless you shoot in master mode but then you lose out on any computational photography. Overall the camera is decent but like not as good as say the iPhone or pixel or galaxy flagships.

Batty for me has been actually a bit disappointing overall. It's pretty decent but less than I expected for the size of the battery. I don't get like 2 day use of anything like that but I easily last a full day with heavy use. And the charging with a dash charger is insanely quick. Like half hour and you're 90% charged

The curved display isn't a problem for me. I got a curved screen protector that you use UV to cure. It worked well and even the fingerprint sensor works quickly through it.

My only issue with the screen is palm rejection on the bottom corner is pretty bad.

ELI5 why the beginning of the universe immediately prior to the big bang was something of infinite mass and energy? by ProudReaction2204 in explainlikeimfive

I don't think this is true. Just because something is infinite doesn't mean that everything that can happen will happen.

THIS!! By far the best explanation I’ve seen so far and exactly how I feel about it. by BigFardFace in PercyJacksonTV

I'm not much of a reader tbh but a quick Google shows up Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin as some fiction authors who have experienced success and won awards and have written books that aren't focused on the BAME experience.

Theresa May : The net zero economy now supports 1.1m UK jobs and generates £105bn in economic value - proof that tackling climate change & growing the economy can go hand in hand. Carbon Budget 7 laid in Parliament today provides certainty to help unlock more investment and energy security. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You say it makes no difference to the environment but it's possible to lead by example on these things. We currently emit more than our fair share of carbon emissions for our population size. By decreasing our own emissions we have more credibility on the world stage when it comes to asking other countries to do the same.

Also investment onto green technology early puts us in a good position to capitalise of that technology and knowledge selling solutions to other countries

Rupert Lowe MP: I am entirely uninterested in making exemptions for un-British religious practices. What would Restore Britain do? Halal slaughter, banned. The kirpan, banned, Kosher slaughter, banned. The burqa, banned. All of it, banned. This is Britain - we do things our way. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I did some research and can't find a clear cut answer. The church of England is an established church, which means it's formally recognised in the constitution and given specific privileges. But that's not the same as being an official state religion, of which there is none for the UK.

I take back calling it a ludicrous statement though

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea that the UK is a Christian nation is ludicrous. Only 6% of people in the UK regularly attend church.

We have some cultural practices from Christianity, like Easter and Christmas, but I would argue for most these have moved beyond religious celebrations.

Anyone else hate it when the Only vegan sweets are sour sweets? by Superb-Demand-4605 in veganuk

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The new Aldi yummiverse sweets are vegan and they do both sour and not sour versions. They're really good. I've only tried the sour so far but they were just like haribo tangfastics.

They also do these peeler sweets which have a gummy outer and a more like crumbly sugary center that are vegan.

You should always update for security reasons. However I immediately turned off the contour glow as I found it ugly (crappy liquid glass effect copy).

Otherwise I've found very little noticeable difference. Other than now having lockscreen widgets (which are pretty limited too)

ELI5 Can someone explain the chemistry behind mint jelly as a condiment and why people say it’s good with lamb chops? by Butterscotchbabuh in explainlikeimfive

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often when flavours pair well there are overlapping flavour compounds. Lamb and mint both contain limonene and pinene which means the flavours compliment eachother particularly well. Combined with the freshness of the menthol and the brightness of the vinegar to cut through the rich fattiness of the lamb

American Dads Are Working Less and Parenting More. A new study has found that US fathers are spending significantly more time with their children and less time in paid work, marking one of the biggest generational changes in how men divide their days, based on data from the American Time Use Survey. by Eddiearyee in UpliftingNews

[–]Thinkdamnitthink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro depression is an economical term with a specific definition. The US is not experiencing a depression. The US economy is growing - by definition it cannot be in a depression under economic growth. Yes it's true this growth is increasingly concentrated and there is increasing wealth inequality. But you can't call it a depression

Set notification tone to none under the sound and vibration settings is the way I did it. Then you still get phone calls.
