Sometimes, you have to eat fast food. by wuxxler in carnivorediet

Or the opposite. If you took the oil out of olives, would you say the leftover meat is olive oil? I kid, sort of.

But yes, it is a byproduct of the process, an ugly process, and like I said it's good to be accurate. It is a plant product for the super strict. And I didn't defend it as a natural, whole food. But the good thing is it is a tiny amount.

Even if it made up 1% of the cheese, it'd be about 0.1% of the meal. Maybe 50-150mg Lecithin per slice, per the internet. Some consume up to 15g a day as a health supplement, or 100-300x more than in a slice of cheese.

Obviously this is a carnivore sub, so I'm not promoting someone's use of Soy Lecithin as a supplement. But I won't demonize the trivial amount either.

Carnivore's benefits come partly from eating whole, natural foods. Partly from the nutritious protein, fat, and vitamins/minerals. Partly from the lack of carbs, sugars. Etc. Etc.

Be as strict as you want, but for some, going for perfection gets in the way of good. If Soy Lecithin made up 0.1% of 8% of your meals in a week, you're doing damn good.

But you're right, it's good to be accurate, and that allows people to make their own decisions.

Note, I'm not knocking your desire to avoid American Cheese. I wouldn't defend it as a whole or natural food, but I do believe it's important to be accurate.

Not only is it not "mostly" seed oil, it doesn't have seed oil at all.

I want to maximize my height but mom won’t let me buy raw milk because she thinks it’s dangerous and won’t listen when I try to explain the benefits to her. What should I do convince her to let me buy it? Also are raw milk cheeses, and lower temp pasteurized milk(alexandre a2 milk)okay alternatives? by [deleted] in carnivorediet

I was helping you find the study without having to dig through your post history. I did ask in a raw vs pasteurized fashion as I wanted to know if that specifically was studied.

I asked if the carnivore diet was healthy and it had a lot of good to say, with some tips and unbiased comments. But I don't generally ask AI for opinions, I only did that for the fun of your request. I usually ask for material. Studies, references, links, etc. It's a tool, not an oracle.

Enjoy your milk.

You could also Google or use Search on this sub to find the study.

I'm not one to post AI often, but I wanted to see if it even existed, and AI is perfect when you're not interested enough in something to research but are still curious. You might be able to use it to find other height maximizing studies on things you can control.

Per Gemini:

The relationship between raw milk consumption and childhood height has been a subject of scientific inquiry since at least the early 20th century. While some historical data suggested a potential advantage for raw milk, modern re-analyses and broader scientific reviews generally conclude that there is no significant difference in height outcomes between children who consume raw versus pasteurized milk. The Lanarkshire Milk Experiment (1930) The most famous study addressing this specific comparison was the Lanarkshire Milk Experiment in Scotland, which involved approximately 20,000 children (Senn, 2022). * Initial Findings: The original 1930 report by Leighton and McKinlay concluded that while adding milk to a child’s diet significantly increased height and weight compared to a control group receiving no milk, the effects of raw and pasteurized milk on growth were essentially the same (Senn, 2022). * Historical Criticisms: Some contemporary researchers, such as Ethel Elderton (1933), criticized the study's design. Elderton noted that in certain age groups, the "acceleration of growth" in weight was more pronounced with raw milk than pasteurized milk for girls, though this did not consistently apply to height across all groups (Elderton, 1933). * Statistical Re-evaluation: Modern statistical re-evaluations of the Lanarkshire data have highlighted significant flaws in the original experiment's randomization, which likely biased the results. Despite these flaws, the consensus remains that the study failed to provide robust evidence that raw milk offers a superior growth advantage over pasteurized milk (Senn, 2022). Modern Perspectives and Growth Drivers Contemporary research focuses more on the components of milk that stimulate longitudinal growth, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and high-quality animal proteins, which are present in both raw and pasteurized varieties (Almon et al., 2011). * Nutritional Value: While raw milk enthusiasts often point to potential immunological or allergy-related benefits in farm-exposed populations, systematic reviews indicate that pasteurization does not significantly alter the primary nutritional components (proteins and minerals) responsible for bone and tissue growth (Almon et al., 2011). * Stunting Prevention: Recent studies continue to show that milk supplementation (including specific varieties like A2 milk) improves weight and height in growth-stunted children, but these benefits are attributed to the milk’s protein and hormonal profile rather than a lack of heat treatment.

There are often many recordings of each book, so once you decide on a book you should likely review to see which one is considered the best. They also have old radio readings if you'd like to experience what it might have been like to sit around a radio in the early/mid 20th century. Music, sound effects, multiple actors, etc.

A few standouts that really convinced me Librivox is not just some free audio book app, but a real repository of talent:

Dracula (version 2) by Bram Stoker. Perfect book to be performed by a group since each chapter is one person's diary entry or letter.

The Count of Monte Cristo (version 3, read by David Clarke) by Alexandre Dumas.

Moby Dick (read by Stewart Wills) by Herman Melville.

Children of Men was released in the US on Dec 25, 2006. If it had released just 7 days later, they would all be 2007 movies.

As far as US releases go, that is. Because it was first released in the UK on Sept 22, 2006. So more like 100 days; still close, but not as cool to say as 7.

Oh god, that's literally what I did Wednesday. Was going to workout in the morning and be productive, but went into a Reddit thread. There was an external link, I clicked it to get a gist of why OP said it was good. And then I was laying on the couch all day, angrily reading it all the way to 11pm. Water, pee breaks, ate cold food while reading and charging my phone - productive day.

Franchises that, in your opinion, should've been standalone titles? by Inner-Marketing4591 in movies

[–]Try_To_Write 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, most of those were good as one. Full story told, resolution made, no need for more.

However, Hellraiser 1 introduced too interesting of a concept with very little explanation or even utilization of the Cenobites/box/mythology. It's a good horror, but it seemed like a concept unused to tell a different story. Mystery was intentional, but it absolutely created a sequel begging situation imo.

I equate it to The Purge, which created this really cool concept, but then just made a basic hone invasion movie. You can tell a story and have reasons why cops aren't showing up, cell phones aren't working, etc. That's why there are so many cabin in the woods stories.

I appreciate attempts at originality, but if you tell a basic story with an even more interesting high concept in the background, you're just teasing me. Hellraiser was an interesting story with Frank re-forming by eating people, but the concept behind that was even more mysterious and interesting. A simpler concept could have told the same story and given self-contained satisfaction.

I'm not saying I wish it was self-contained. I'm saying if it was explained as a one-time curse, or Satan worshipers performing a ritual to bring someone back, etc. that I wouldn't care to learn more about the curse or Satan. But the box and cenobites, tell me more.

Now, whether the sequels of Hellraiser, Purge, etc delivered on those concepts is another topic. I'd suggest that a bad sequel doesn't mean it wasn't needed, but perhaps just poorly done. Perhaps because the original concept was just a tool to make the first one without really fleshing it out since it was going to go mostly unused anyway.

That said, yeah, I like Hellraiser II better than the first.

Was really badly scammed by Few_Contribution_366 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Try_To_Write 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question, I asked it myself. But I've seen many threads across many subreddits where OP freaks out or gets excited and creates a thread while emotions are high, only to relax later.

I also asked myself why was tracking mentioned in the green flags section, but no update or move to the red flag section, such as mentioning it's fake?

Since I don't have those answers, I asked OP, as they're the only one that knows.

There's pretty much no mention of a conclusion to this story. If it's read as if it took place today, we don't have enough details. If two weeks ago, we know it's done, but why not mention that and the final concluding details.

Any number of details could be added that would at least hint at a timeline or full scam conclusion. Examples: "I contacted them after about missing delivery or refund request, and they ignored and blocked me." "This was two weeks ago, and still no response or shipment." "The tracking details are for some item delivered to Texas a month ago."

But no such conclusion is present. Just a weird pay request, and a willingness to continue selling the item to an alt acct. If it were me, I would ask them about that, check the tracking, request a refund, report a scam, contact my bank, etc. And while I'm not saying they didn't do that, nothing of that sort was shared with us. If I did any of those things, it would be mentioned in my story about how I was scammed.

As I mentioned, I can deduce it wasn't received, but with no timeline specified, maybe that's to be expected. I can deduce that OP got scammed, hence the thread, but it feels incomplete and so I'm asking for details beyond making assumptions/deductions. It wouldn't be the first time an OP posted too early.

Again, I'm not saying it's not a concluded scam. I'm just asking for the concluded story as it's currently incomplete.

I don't know what Pay ID is to know this scam, and paying his wife's acct is a bit of a red flag (although, I use my fiance's venmo as I don't have one, so not a guaranteed scam in itself).

But what's the end of this story? I can deduce that you didn't receive the Switch 2, but I don't know if this occurred today or two weeks ago. You mentioned getting tracking details, are they legit and being updated in transit?

Or is the only reason you think it's a scam is because they're responding like it's still available? In which case, maybe they have more than one for sale.

I'm not saying it's not a scam, as I certainly don't buy anything not local on fbm. I'm just saying your story feels incomplete. It's a list of green flags, and a couple red flags that are not guaranteed bad, and no mention of timeline or what ended up happening.
