Hi everyone! Not sure if this falls under “no advertising” rule or not, if so, forgive me and delete the post. I just wanted to share a website/tool that I’ve built for myself and thought that maybe it would be useful for someone else too.
Like many of you, I'm constantly trying to find appropriate food for my cats that has the correct nutrition (as suggested by my vet) and won’t break the bank. What I want is to have an up-to-date list of products sorted by their cost per kcal with the ability to filter by nutritional values (dry matter). Since I couldn’t find exactly this, I built this: https://foodrank.pet/cat
Currently, it holds over 450 Amazon listings, and ~1500 more are waiting to be added (it takes time as I have to manually review each new product to make sure that the nutritional values and calories are correctly scraped from the web). Existing listings are auto-updated daily. Even if you’re not buying from Amazon, this should be still a good source to look for the product names.
Disclaimer: I’m not sure how sustainable this is going to be but those Amazon links are affiliate links, so I could potentially keep running this server & daily data scraper forever(?). And of course, the information provided may be incorrect, so you should always verify. ✌️

Why nightmares and ‘daymares’ could be early warning signs of autoimmune disease

An increase in nightmares and hallucinations—or ‘daymares’—could herald the onset of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, say an international team led by researchers at the University of Cambridge and King’s College London. The researchers argue that there must be greater recognition that these types of mental health and neurological symptoms can act as an early warning sign that an individual is approaching a “flare,” where their disease worsens for a period.
5-20-2024 Yoga and meditation-induced altered states of consciousness are common in the general population, study says
Yoga, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and other practices are gaining in popularity due to their potential to improve health and well-being. The effects of these practices are mostly positive and occasionally transformational, yet they are known to sometimes be associated with challenging altered states of consciousness. New research by a team including investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital reveals that altered states of consciousness associated with meditation practice are far more common than expected. Although many people reported positive outcomes, that were sometimes even considered transformational, from these experiences, for a substantial
5-20-2024 Examining the benefits of out-of-network care for pediatric moyamoya
Total in-episode expenses and resource use before the index surgery (preop) and including/after the surgery (postop). The comparisons are separated for analysis into (A) single institution cohorts (1 and 2) and (B) multi?institution cohorts (3 and 4). Moyamoya disease is a rare condition that affects the blood vessels in the brain, especially in children. Narrowing and blockage of vessels significantly increases the risk of stroke and requires surgical revascularization for treatment. Although research shows that outcomes of revascularization are better
5-20-2024 Study explores links between social media use, mental health and sleep quality
The more time you spend on social media, the greater the likelihood of having unpleasant social-media related dreams that cause distress, sleep disruption and impact our peace of mind. Flinders University’s Reza Shabahang says that the vast and rapid adoption of social media has the potential to influence various aspects of life, including the realm of dreaming. “As social media becomes increasingly intertwined with our lives, its impact extends beyond waking hours, and may influence our dreams,”
5-20-2024 How are asthma and heart health linked?
Although the heart and lungs are neighbors in your chest, people may think of them as separate entities with unrelated problems. But a growing body of evidence suggests that asthma—one of the most common lung disorders—is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Asthma is a serious chronic disease in which airways are inflamed, often in response to specific triggers. It affects about 25 million people in the U.S., including nearly 5 million children, causing millions of annual visits to doctors’ offices and emergency rooms. “We call these major changes
5-20-2024 STUDY EXPLORES PATIENT TRUST IN PHYSICIANS
Trust in one’s physician drives positive health practices. In a scoping review, SUNY Poly Professor of Sociology Dr. Linda R. Weber discovered new developments in the measurement of trust, identified those measures of trust that have known reliability and validity, and compared those instruments’ conceptualizations, dimensions, and indicators. The paper is published in the journal PLOS ONE. Weber explains that 10 dimensions emerged from the study: fidelity, technical competence, communicative competence, interpersonal competence (i.e., caring), honesty, confidentiality, global, behavioral, fairness, and system trust/accountability. In addition, these findings provide the foundation
5-20-2024 TIMESAVING TIPS FOR COOKING HEALTHY MEALS
Living a busy, fast-paced life can make it hard to find the motivation to cook a healthy meal at home. However, learning some shortcuts in the kitchen can keep your healthy eating goals on track and help you avoid grazing on unhealthy snacks, grabbing the first thing you see in the fridge or going out for fast food. Why cook at home? Research shows that maintaining a healthy weight is challenging when you eat out too frequently. Restaurant portions often are super-sized
5-20-2024 UNDERSTANDING PERIMENOPAUSE VS. MENOPAUSE
Menopause marks a significant transition for women, yet understanding its precursor, perimenopause, and its symptoms can be complex. Dr. Stephanie Faubion, director of Mayo Clinic’s Center for Women’s Health and medical director of The Menopause Society, says experiencing perimenopause and menopause can be confusing for some. She says it is not only patients who may find it confusing, but medical providers as well, due to lack of training in menopause management. “Menopause is defined by no menstrual cycle for a year,” says Dr. Faubion.
5-20-2024 LOW-DOSE IRON SUPPLEMENTATION HAS NO BENEFIT FOR BREASTFED INFANTS, SHOWS STUDY
The American Pediatric Association recommends iron supplements to all healthy infants who breastfeed longer than four months, while its European counterpart, Society of Gastroenterology, Hepataology and Nutrition, does not recommend it. These deviating guidelines stimulated researchers to design a new study. Breastfeeding is strongly recommended, and the proportion of children are breastfed during the first half of life is high. The researchers wanted to determine whether breastfeeding babies could benefit from extra iron.
5-20-2024 ALLERGY MEDICATIONS COME WITH HAZARDS: BE AWARE
People with seasonal allergies often turn to over-the-counter and prescription medicines to relieve symptoms like coughing, sneezing, runny nose, congestion and itchy eyes, nose or throat. But they often aren’t aware that these meds—including antihistamines—have as much risk for potential side effects, drug interactions and overdose as other drugs. “All medicines have side effects associated with them even when they are taken appropriately and according to dosing directions on the label,”
5-20-2024 I CAN’T AFFORD OLIVE OIL—WHAT ELSE CAN I USE?
If you buy your olive oil in bulk, you’ve likely been in for a shock in recent weeks. Major supermarkets have been selling olive oil for up to A$65 for a four-liter tin, and up to $26 for a 750 milliliter bottle. We’ve been hearing about the health benefits of olive oil for years. And many of us are adding it to salads, or baking and frying with it. But during a cost-of-living crisis, these high prices can put olive oil out of reach. Let’s take a look at why
5-20-2024 Researchers uncover biological trigger of early puberty
Heather Brenhouse, associate professor of psychology, says disrupting the caretaker relationship can really traumatize a child or a developing rodent. Credit: Ruby Wallau/Northeastern University New research conducted by the Brenhouse Lab reveals how early life adversity triggers early puberty and late-life anxiety, paving the way for potential interventions. The onset of puberty has been creeping downward for decades. In the United States, the average age of girls reaching puberty ranges from 8.8 to 10.3 years old. The early start of puberty, which is associated with many health risks, can be
5-20-2024 Bioluminescence and 3D-printed implants shed light on brain–spinal interactions
Brain-spinal cord duet’s neurodynamic symphony is now accessible to scientists via novel multi-organ implants. Credit: Dmitrijs Celinskis A sensory process such as pain is no ordinary phenomenon—it’s a symphony of neural and vascular interactions orchestrated by the brain and spinal cord. Attempting to dissect this symphony by focusing on a single region is like trying to understand a complex melody by listening to just one instrument. It’s incomplete, potentially misleading, and may result in erroneous conclusions. Enter the Carney Institute’s team of visionaries. Their mission? To develop tools that allow

5-20-2024 New study reveals health and social benefits of car-free living
Participating in a three-week car-free challenge has enhanced the health and well-being of Oxford residents, according to research conducted by The University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations (CAST), in partnership with climate charity Possible and Low Carbon Oxford North (LCON), conducted this research project. After ditching their cars for three weeks, 10 out of the 12 drivers across Oxford who participated said they plan to continue with reduced car use beyond the project. The findings of this research project show that: Day-to-day transport emissions were slashed
5-20-2024 Research shows linked biological pathways driving skin inflammation
A certain biological pathway—a set of linked reactions in the body—drives the inflammation seen in the skin disease psoriasis, a new study finds. The work could lead to improved therapies for all inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic and allergic dermatitis and a type of boil called hidradenitis suppurativa, say the study authors. The findings are published in the journal Immunity. Inflammation is the body’s natural response to irritation and infection, but when out of control, it can lead to the reddish, flaky, itchy lesions that
5-20-2024 Prescription co-payments linked to more hospital admissions in New Zealand, study finds
A new study from researchers cautions that bringing back the $5 co-payment for prescription medicines could see a jump in hospital admissions. The study analyzed health data for 71,502 people and found those who didn’t pick up a prescription because they couldn’t afford the $5 fee had a 34% higher rate of being admitted to hospital.
5-20-2024 How a simulation is informing COVID-19 vaccine policy after our ‘return to normal’
As the saying goes “There is no such thing as normal” and this has been especially true after the pandemic. Before the emergence of the omicron COVID-19 variant, countries like the U.K. had high vaccination coverage along with widespread exposure to COVID-19 in the population. This combination of vaccine and infection-derived immunity is termed hybrid immunity and is different to vaccine immunity or infection immunity alone. In contrast, other countries, including Australia, New Zealand and those in the Western Pacific, had a very different pandemic experience.
5-20-2024 Researchers find intriguing connections between Alzheimer’s disease and other common conditions
A study has found that while some medical conditions appear to increase our likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease, others appear to decrease the odds. The study, led by Dr. Yijun (Nicholas) Pan and Dr. Liang Jin, analyzed data from 2,443 older Australians living in Melbourne or Perth who are part of the Australian Imaging, Biomarker and Lifestyle (AIBL) study, an internationally recognized cohort for dementia research. “We found anxiety and other neurological disorders are associated with increased likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease,” Dr. Pan said.
5-20-2024 Prepping autistic or sound-sensitive kids for cicada noise
As Chicagoans await the emergence of the cicadas, parents of children on the autism spectrum and/or who have sensitivities to sound can take a few steps to prepare for what is expected to be a loud summer. “Some children on the spectrum can struggle with loud or unexpected noises, such as toilets that automatically flush, fireworks around the Fourth of July or the emergence of a large number of cicadas,”
5-20-2024 Study highlights importance of screening for rare inherited iron metabolism defects
Over 40% of cases curated based on stringent clinical and laboratory criteria from the Indian subcontinent have an inherited iron metabolism defect on comprehensive genomic evaluation, report investigators in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics. Although iron deficiency anemia is the most prevalent form of anemia globally,
5-20-2024 Study finds tyrosine kinase Csk promotes germinal center B cell survival and affinity maturation
The authors found that Csk (a tyrosine kinase that attenuates B cell receptor signaling) is required for germinal center maintenance and efficient antibody maturation. The immune system strikes a fine balance by identifying and neutralizing disease-causing agents while carefully avoiding destruction of healthy tissues and cells. Now, researchers from Japan have shed new light on one of the processes that helps train immune cells to act only against genuine threats.
5-20-2024 Significant gaps between science of obesity and the care patients receive, say experts
As research continues to produce evidence about the underlying causes of obesity and optimal strategies to treat and manage obesity have evolved, there are disparities in application of the latest scientific advances in the clinical care that people with obesity receive. Widespread adoption of current findings, consistency of care and expertise in obesity care varies by health care professional and institution.
5-20-2024 Improving online depression treatment
Symptom course of depression for individuals who dropped out of treatment and those who completed treatment. In the dropout group, there is an initial decrease in symptoms while the patients were still in treatment, which tapers off as they drop out. For completers, there is close to a linear change over time. This suggests there is a relation between the more that an individual continues to participate in ICBT and their depressive symptom improvement.
5-20-2024 Women face worse chronic kidney disease management in primary care

5-20-2024 Anticancer potential of CLK kinase inhibitors 1C8 and GPS167 via EMT and antiviral immune response
The diheteroarylamide-based compound 1C8 and the aminothiazole carboxamide-related compound GPS167 inhibit the CLK kinases, and affect the proliferation of a broad range of cancer cell lines. A chemogenomic screen previously performed with GPS167 revealed that the depletion of components associated with mitotic spindle assembly altered
5-20-2024 Study sheds light on bacteria associated with pre-term birth
Researchers from North Carolina State University have found that multiple species of Gardnerella, bacteria sometimes associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and pre-term birth, can coexist in the same vaginal microbiome. The findings, published in mSystems, add to the emerging picture of Gardnerella’s effects on human health. Gardnerella is a group of anaerobic bacteria that are commonly found in the vaginal microbiome. Higher levels of the bacteria are a signature of BV and associated with higher risk of pre-term birth, but it is also found in women who have no sign

I've been baking with "weird" alternate (non-wheat) flours for a long time now, but somehow I managed to avoid trying chickpea flour until now. I immediately wish I had discovered it earlier.
It is very easy to bake with. It behaves similarly to some of the easier-to-bake-with gluten free flours, such as oat, teff, quinoa, or amaranth. It is much easier to work with than the "weird" ones such as buckwheat, almond, or coconut, which require major adjustments to recipes or creating totally new things around the flour. I subbed it 1 for 1 for oat flour in a muffin recipe, using about half chickpea flour and the rest a blend of almond and barley, and it came out really well.
Nutritionally, chickpea flour is a powerhouse. According to the USDA data it has 5.25g of protein per 1/4 cup. Oddly, it has a lot of sugar in it, but also a lot of fiber. Micronutrient-wise it is extraordinarily high in folate and also a good source of B1 and B6., with some B2, B3, B5, and vitamins E and K. Mineral-wise it is even better, with very high amounts of Magnesium, Iron, and Zinc, and more Potassium and Selenium that is typical for flours. So it seems to be useful nutritionally both because of being nutrient-dense overall, but having a somewhat different nutritional profile than the typical grain-based flours.
The protein situation with chickpea flour is perhaps better than the raw quantity suggests, because most people with a Western diet consume a lot of grains, especially wheat, but also to a large degree corn and rice, and the amino acid blend is complementary to all of these grains.
On top of all of these things, it's cheap. High-end brands sell it for about $3 a pound, but if you go to Indian stores you can buy it in larger quantities more cheaply, where it is called "Besan".
Does anyone else here use chickpea flour? I am interested in discovering new uses for it. I know it is used in some Indian desserts as well as some flatbreads like papadam. Like there is a food from France and Northern Italy called Socca. I'm curious what else it would work with. It seems like it might be good in pancakes.

I used to be anti-gun back in the day I confess. I work in scientific research and public health and my position was based on statistics that show that gun ownership increases risk of gun-related death and injury (surprising right?). To me it was undeniable that; gun ownership naturally comes with risk of crime and suicide. Fewer guns do equal fewer gun deaths in some countries, but low gun deaths or incidents in general can still be achieved with high levels of ownership. What got me to change my position was me questioning my thought process and the angle I was approaching the whole debate from and applying it to other positions in my life.
I think a lot of anti-gun advocates may have the same mentality I did. Which was a faulty utilitarian pov that places rights like free speech and bearing arms, as inferior to what will achieve the greatest statistical outcome in pros vs cons. It took time to realize how terrible that type of utilitarianism is and what it can be used to justify down the road (not to mention feeling like a machine). Reflecting on a few things like the consequences of free speech and common anti-lgbt arguments made me think "Should a persons rights be contingent upon statistics and pro-con outcomes?" and ultimately decided no. Rights like freedom of speech and gun rights should still exist in the face of negative consequences and risks. Our efforts should be on mitigating those risks while keeping the right in tact.
A few thoughts:
Freedom of speech and belief most of us view as positive. Yet it has a lot of bad consequences and real-world effects that can arise as a result of it, even turning into a net negative at times. With freedom of speech you can get ; hate speech, stochastic terrorism, cults, and proliferation of dangerous misinformation that gets thousands killed (think alternative medicine or lethal religious convictions like JW blood restrictions). Meanwhile stochastic terrorist asshats like Matt Walsh and LibsofTikTok are free to stir up hatred and paranoia about lgbt people. The real-world consequences are rejection, exclusion, homelessness, and increased suicide for their targets. Yet... all this is protected by the freedom of expression. It's something I have to accept is a consequence for the right of free speech to exist, that doesn't mean I cannot use my own to fight back and ensure a better future for lgbt youth. But I do it in a way that does not undermine a foundational right.
Alcohol: Many anti-gun advocates love to call us "gun nuts" make jokes that were compensating for small genitalia. Projection. And accuse us that we just wanna keep our "boom sticks" for fun and don't care about tragedy. Yet you'll find many don't share the same attitude for alcohol despite how similar it is to their case for guns. Alcohol has no nutritional value. Has negative health consequences (no safe limit). Kills and injures thousands per year, like one drunk driver who killed 26 people. Associated with violent brawls and stupid actions. Increases domestic violence. And only exists as a recreational drug for people to enjoy and have fun (like how some people do with guns). And contrary to popular belief, prohibition did work as it statistically reduced drunk driving, absenteeism, and other alcohol-related problems. Yet, people still saw it for what it was, draconian and unfair despite the "net positive" outcome. Even if it would be difficult, it only makes logical sense that if you believe guns should be banned due to increased risk and consequences, so should alcohol despite its social popularity. Obviously I do not advocate or support alcohol prohibition. Many countries accept the risk and find strategies to mitigate risk and harm.
LGBT folks*: I'm bisexual and one of the things that really drew me out of the anti-gun crowd was how a lot of their reliance on statistics and safety-arguments remind me of anti-gay arguments. It's a conservative argument that gays represent a larger portion of sex offenders and are at higher risks of abuse. Even if it was remotely true would the higher risk of sexual abuse in lgbt people warrant restricting our right to engage in same-sex activity or justify trying to cure us for the 'greater good'? As a neuroscience nerd I thought about various experiments which involved brain stimulation/modification and thought, even if it was possible to make gay people straight, it still would not be justified in doing so and violating our rights for the sake of safety or stability. It's an extreme example but one that shows how excessive "in the name of safety/stability" mentality can lead to rights getting trampled. And why its better to find a solution that can mitigate risk/con while also ensuring rights.
Obviously I recognize that rights are not fully absolute, I can't get away with directly making threats or owning world ending nukes. But that's just some of the things that turned me pro-2A and pro-gun in general. If mainstream democrats here in the US were smart they'd stop attacking gun rights and use gun culture as a positive vehicle for actual change, like not letting people get exploited by insurance companies or not creating hyper-individualistic insecure doomers with anger issues. Statistics should be used to identify issues so we can maintain our rights not strip them away.
Hope I didn't come across as too narcissistic, just figured I'd share some perspective from a former anti-gun
*Edit: This section was edited as the original alluded to some some studies of higher prevalence of sexual abuse amongst gays. After some discussion in the comment section regarding the publications skewed research and misrepresentation I've decided to remove this section. The data for such conservative claims is shoddy at best, and downright lies most of the time. I also should specify I do *not* support conversion therapy. The bit about the neuroscience experiments is meant to serve as an example of "Is it right to negate rights in the name of safety/stability even if you could?" thinking that pervades the gun debate. I chose LGBT rights since that is something familiar to me like the other two, though it can be applied to any character trait not widely socially accepted.

I can't FULLY commit to pursue med school. I decided once in 2021 and did the MCAT (got a low score) but I really hated it and at that point, I realized I was really only doing it for my parents. So I took a step back and said fuck this I'm not doing medicine. I decided I was going to take a year off after I finished my undergrad (major in biochem) which I finished in April 2022. I finish my undergrad and it all comes to me... I'M BURNT OUT AF. Like I was so burnt out from my undergrad - I was doing so many things at once, trying to maintain a good GPA, competing in a sport, trying to maintain a relationship, and not to mention the million extracurriculars I was doing. All for med school. I should also mention that I had undiagnosed ADHD which contributed to my burnout + my "I have to do everything I like, now, all at once" mentality.
So for a whole year until summer 2023, I was honestly just enjoying my life and traveled like I have always wanted. I loved my life, I had no responsibilities, I was doing what I loved the most (albeit I was working a part-time job that I hated but I pushed through so I can finance my travels). Just before my last trip in summer 2023, I started to do career counselling because I genuinely still didn't know what I wanted for my career. I have so many goddamn interests. The conclusion of that was that I was going to pursue Personal Training. Kind of random but that is because I started going to the gym in 2020 and met so many personal trainers and I just absolutely loved the gym. I loved talking about it, I loved learning about it, I loved making my own programs, assessing my nutrition and I was always so keen and eager to help those around me with their own gym/nutrition struggles. And because I talked about it so much, I influenced 6 different people in my life to pursue their own gym journey. I absolutely loved it when people in my circle came to me when they want to start going to the gym and need advice.
The only issue with personal training as a job for me was the instability and the fact that it's such a variable job, solely depending on the clients that hire me. And it also does not pay well enough for me to reach my retirement goals, which are to semi-retire around 45-50 y.o. I'm striving for early financial independence. I know I don't want to work for the rest of my life and I'm using my career as a tool to get to the financial independence I want. And in the worst case, I work until 65.
But anyway, my summer 2023 trip ended and I was now hit in the face with reality that I need to start a career. I start thinking about everything again, including med school and I decided Personal training is better suited for me if it was a part-time job, on the side of my main career job. AND I had this nagging thought in my head about business and analytics. During COVID, I learned a lot about the business field and I realized that I'd love to own a business/practice at some point in my future. I'm also a very analytical person so I decided to pursue a college certificate in Business/Data analytics, starting last September.
In that same September, I also decided that I'm going to pursue med school. I really just sat with myself and really reflected on everything. I told myself I was going to at least give it a try. There was only one school (McGill) that still had their applications open and didn't require MCAT so I applied anyway. I didn't get in. But that was expected bc I was an out of province student so I wasn't too bummed. But I studied to retake the MCAT anyway while I was doing the certificate (lol.. me again with the "I have to do everything at once") and I just wrote my MCAT last week.
About my certificate, I really enjoyed it (I finished in April). I was genuinely always so engaged with the material and it was almost like I had a knack for it and it came natural to me. This is my backup career if medicine doesn't work out.
About the MCAT, I also loved the material I was studying and for the first time, I genuinely understood the material and it was all just connected in my mind the right way. I was so motivated to learn and I was engaged with my studying in a way I've never had before.
Now, I'm done with my MCAT. I'm done with my certificate. And here I am revisiting my med school decision again. I know I'm going to love the med school material I learn and that I love to apply my knowledge to help others and I like to be analytical and solve problems. I know I want a high paying career to reach my financial goals. But IDK if I want to go through the rough times of med school/residency. I don't know if I want to be studying for such a difficult degree again and very likely burn out. I don't know if I want to sacrifice things in my life like spending time with my SO, my family, my friends, and travel. I'm so torn. I'm sick of my inability to make a decision. Maybe that's a sign of itself that I shouldn't pursue. But I genuinely feel like I'd love to be a doctor bc I know I ultimately do enjoy helping/making people's lives better in some shape or form. The conditions and the working environment of residents/fellows is just so tough. I have seen first hand what it's like to be in med school as I've been around my 3 cousins who did it. I just can't decide. I also think that by the time I'm done with my residency and specialty, I won't actually be in the field too long to "reap the rewards of my hard work" before my retirement goal of 45. I also did everything I needed for med school. I have the GPA, the extracurriculars, hopefully the MCAT score and all that. It feels like wasted potential. I'm even willing to re-do the MCAT in August if I don't get the score I need for this application cycle.
Either way, I plan to get a job in business/data analytics (after some travel) whether I apply for med or not since I wouldn't find out about any offers until March 2025.
I just know I'm sick of my inability to decide on med and this is the last straw for me. I can apply either way and decide in March if I get any offers but that's just delaying the decision. I also know that if I don't get in to med this application cycle, I'm not going to apply next year. I just can't go through this for another year, I need to get started on my life.

A big thank in avance to everyone who read this long help request.
I am in my late 20's and i've been stuck for a few years now trying to find what I want to do in my life.
I have already graduated and got my computer science degree. A year and a half before graduating I knew that I didn't wanted to get a job related to that (software and web development mainly) even though there were things I enjoyed (like web design) but at the same time I started to hate them. At the beggining I was really good at it until I wasn't (I guess I didn't put enough effort to it) and I felt really frustrated, I'm guessing that's probably the reason that made me hate every part of it.
Since then i've been looking for a career that I actually get to love or enjoy enough. Many have gotten my attention. First it was graphic design, then translator and interpreter, then photography. Currently I'm interested in data analytics and nutrition, and now considering web design or front-end development again, thinking maybe when I was studying I didn't like it because I just didn't give my best.
I have taken a lot of tests to find a career that suits my personality, insterest, etc. Most of those results say I am IRC or RIC or ICR on the holland code, or suggest me careers with one always present or at the top: computer science (or related). This has been really frustraiting for me because I've been looking for another one! But this tests suggest the one I already studied. Another kind of test says I am an INFJ (I know this is a personality test but still). Many people don't believe in this, I just have to say it's been pretty accurate, and the careers suggested (Nutrition, one that I'm interested in) for someone with this personality are completely different from the ones in the other tests.
I've been thinking (OVERTHINKING) about this a lot, I'm lost, I'm stressed, frustrated and I feel anxious. Right now I'm struggling to decide between Nutrition or any other career such as data analytics or web development.
I love languages but I think they could remain just as a hobby, just like photography.
I really like graphic design, I'm constantly using my computer and the time flies when designing any personal thing or for others. The truth is that not many people value this job. Maybe I could do something with it, I just don't think I would study this in a university. Maybe I could mix my interest for graphic design with the suggestions of all of this tests, front-end development, but I'm not sure given the past. This could only be possible if i get a job remotely because to get a job where I have to be present would mean to move to another city, the nearest to where I am from, and living there is a nightmare.
About Nutrition I really like to know about food, what it contains, how good it does to us or how could it harm our health. I like that I could provide the knowledge to help others. Listening to other people ideas about nutrition, eating, etc., I realize that we know almost nothing about it and how important it is. One way or another I would like to learn about Nutrition, I just don't know if I would like to make it a career. Choosing this would mean graduating in my early 30's.
I want a meaningful profession, something that is important, valued, it is important to me to feel that I'm doing something that matters, a job that gives the chance to have a life and not to feel tied up or suffocated. But how can I know which one will I actually feel the most satisfaction with? How can I choose just one having so many interests?
I appreciate any honest advice.

Coconut oil contains monolaurin, which has been linked to potent antiviral and antifungal effects. But how does monolaurin kill viruses, bacteria, and fungi?
What is monolaurin?
Monolaurin is a naturally occurring compound that belongs to a class of chemicals known as monoglycerides. It’s derived from lauric acid, a medium-chain-fatty acid found abundantly in coconut oil and human breast milk. Although monolaurin can be extracted from natural sources, many dietary supplements contain chemically synthesized monolaurin, created by reacting lauric acid with glycerol or glycerin.
“Certain fatty acids and monoglycerides, including lauric acid and monolaurin, are powerful antimicrobial agents,” explains Dr. Berg. “Virgin coconut oil has been used as a medicinal food to manage and prevent viral and bacterial infections for hundreds of years.”
In addition, monolaurin is a natural preservative that can play a role in food safety. Because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, monolaurin inhibits the growth of certain microbes linked to food-borne illnesses.
How does monolaurin work?
Monolaurin is classified as a monoglyceride, a simple lipid that readily attaches to other lipid structures, including the membrane surrounding viruses. By binding to lipid-enveloped viruses, monolaurin directly inhibits the normal functioning of viral particles. This disruption can prevent the virus from entering host cells and replicating, ultimately inhibiting its ability to spread and cause infection. In addition, monolaurin has been found to enhance the immune response against enveloped RNA and DNA viruses. These types of viruses are responsible for various infectious diseases, including respiratory infections, sexually transmitted diseases, hepatitis, and some types of cancers.
Benefits of monolaurin
Monolaurin is considered a natural remedy within the realm of alternative medicine, where it’s valued for its potential antimicrobial properties and immune-supporting effects. In addition to its impressive antiviral effects, monolaurin displays potent antimicrobial properties that are effective against various other pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and yeasts.

Antiviral

The antiviral effects of monolaurin have been extensively researched. According to a study published in Food Research, monolaurin has demonstrated potent antiviral properties against various classes of viruses, including:

• Herpes simplex virus
• Influenza virus
• Avian influenza virus
• Arbovirus (yellow fever)
• Coronavirus
• Zika virus

Much of this research has focused on monolaurin’s in vitro effects, meaning that it's been studied in laboratory settings rather than in living organisms. However, this data does provide valuable insights into monolaurin's antiviral potential. Interestingly, research published in the Journal of Nutritional Science found that the consumption of coconut oil, a rich source of monolaurin, supported rapid relief of COVID-19 symptoms.
The authors concluded, “This study bolsters the use of coconut oil as an effective adjunct therapy for COVID-19-positive patients showing mild-to-moderate symptoms.”
Antibacterial
In addition to its antiviral properties, monolaurin has also been found to be a highly effective natural remedy to manage and prevent bacterial infections. Because monolaurin is a lipid structure, it can bind to and interact with the cell membrane of bacteria. This can puncture bacterial cell walls, leading to leaks and loss of cellular functionality, eventually triggering bacterial cell death.
Data published by the American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) found that monolaurin compounds were effective at inhibiting various strains of gram-positive bacteria, a group of microbes associated with a wide range of infectious diseases. Gram-positive bacteria include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Salmonella, and Clostridium. These harmful microbes are known for causing a wide range of infections in humans, such as pneumonia, skin infections, food poisoning, and diarrhea.
Monolaurin may also benefit oral and gastrointestinal health if used topically as a mouthwash. A study published in the Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology found that a monolaurin-containing oral rinse effectively eradicated Helicobacter pylori. This bacterial strain is linked to inflammation of the stomach lining, ulcers, and stomach cancer.

Antifungal

Similarly to its antiviral and antibacterial activity, monolaurin can disrupt the cell membranes of fungi, which inhibits fungal growth and triggers cell death. In addition, monolaurin has been found to strengthen the immune system by enhancing the ability of immune cells to detect and destroy infectious yeast and fungal species.
Research published in Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin suggests that monolaurin is effective in the prevention and management of Candida albicans, a fungal species linked to oral thrush and vaginal yeast infections. Monolaurins' potent antimicrobial properties may explain why topical coconut oil application has been used for centuries as a natural remedy to manage fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot and ringworm.

Sources of monolaurin

Monolaurin is derived through the enzymatic conversion of lauric acid, which is naturally abundant in coconut oil and breast milk. Research published in ChemBioEng Reviews suggests that lauric acid comprises around 50 percent of the fatty acids in extra virgin coconut oil, making it one of the best dietary sources of monolaurin.
Certain fermented foods, such as yogurt and cheese, can also contain monolaurin. However, these foods typically don’t provide enough monolaurin to have significant therapeutic effects. In addition, monolaurin is available as a dietary supplement typically produced by extracting and purifying monolaurin from natural sources rich in lauric acid, such as coconut oil.

Dosage

The best monolaurin dosage depends on its intended use, your overall health status, and the specific formulation of the supplement. If you are taking monolaurin as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of microbial infections, a typical dosage ranges between 300 and 600 milligrams daily.
However, short periods of significantly higher monolaurin dosages of up to 1,800 milligrams per day may be necessary to manage acute infections. It’s also advised to start with a lower dose and gradually increase monolaurin intake to minimize the risk of side effects such as gastrointestinal issues and sensitivities.
Although monolaurin is generally well tolerated, it can interact with certain drugs, including blood thinners. If you are taking prescription medications or have underlying health issues, it’s vital to consult a healthcare provider to discuss the use of monolaurin.

How to keep your vibrations high to thrive through negative times

1. Stay hydrated: Filtered water with a pinch of Celtic Sea Salt added (see below)

2. Get outdoors as much as possible.=Natural Vitamin D

3. Eat Fresh Whole Foods=vitamins through foods

4. Mind your thoughts: choose positive uplifting thoughts, stay away from ALL negative thinking, and choose to embody happy feelings. Fear, Paranoia and Negativity are tools that empower the Dark Occultist Globalists (WEAPONIZED Negativity AGAINST humanity. See below)

5. Meet more positive like-minded people you resonate with, even if you might disagree at times they won't attack, belittle, argue with or demean you.

6. Get rid of TV and MSM=They program you with subliminal messages, subliminal energetic energies, and negative ideology (mind control/indoctrination). Don't let things you can’t control "control" you (see below)

7. STOP eating processed packaged foods/beverages, reduce to eliminate synthetic chemicals in pharmaceuticals.

8. Cash is King. Digital is part of the Digital ID and control through AI=Internet of Things (Mark of the Beast)

9. Spend more time in nature, walk outdoors, go barefoot and ground in earth to discharge negative magnetic toxins accumulated in body (see below)

10. Read books, light candles, meditate, sing, tap into inner creativity, get a calming hobby, learn to relax, and release workaholic materialistic obsessive ideology.

Grounding/Earthing (People obsessed and possessed over the need to wear shoes except when sleeping are cutting themselves off from the PROVEN health benefits through grounding)
*
Integrative and lifestyle medicine strategies should include Earthing (grounding): Review of research evidence and clinical observations
Highlights • Earthing (grounding) connects people to the Earth's natural healing energy.
• Reduces inflammation, pain, and stress; improves blood flow, sleep, and vitality.
• Earthing is a simple, profound lifestyle addition requiring no effort or dieting.
• Earthing is a GROSSLY overlooked factor in health and healing.
• Earthing should be recommended by health professionals to patients.
Core components of alternative, lifestyle, and preventive medicine include nutrition, exercise, stress management, and relationships. Missing from this formula is the practice of Earthing (also commonly referred to as grounding; in this paper, we will primarily use the term Earthing).
Earthing simply means reconnecting the conductive human body to the Earth's natural and subtle surface electric charge, an effortless lifestyle activity that systemically influences the basic bioelectrical function of the body. Doing so surprisingly stabilizes the physiology, reduces inflammation, pain, and stress, improves sleep, blood flow, and lymphatic/venous return to the heart, and produces greater well-being.
These are systemic, profound effects. People often report that after they start Earthing, they feel and look healthier and younger. Those with pain report less pain.1 Even mood improves.2
Earthing is easy to do and often achieves rapid results, particularly for individuals with chronic health disorders. ⬇️ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550830719305476
Grounding – The universal anti-inflammatory remedy
Grounding or earthing could be the anti-inflammatory antidote for modern man. It is one of the greatest kept secrets when it comes to our health and aliveness, and only a small part of the scientific community really understands the concept. Once health professionals and others realize that grounding is especially important in preventing inflammatory illness, an incredible effect on public health will be realized.

Conclusions
In conclusion, our study suggests that higher levels of ARA may reduce the risk of BPD. Preclinical models and randomized clinical trials are needed to rigorously assess a potential role for ARA supplementation (and other PUFAs) in facilitating BPD prevention and treatment, particularly in individuals who carry BPD risk alleles at the FADS1/2/3 cluster. More broadly, our findings also support potential avenues for precision health interventions focused on early-life nutrition to ensure that infants and children are receiving enough ARA and other PUFAs to support optimal brain development, which may also reduce the risk of BPD.
Discussion
This 2-sample MWMR study revealed 33 circulating metabolites associated with BPD, most of them lipids. Chief among these metabolites was ARA in its free form along with several complex lipids containing either an ARA or LA side chain. We showed that most of these metabolite associations were driven by genetic instruments at the FADS1/2/3 cluster, which encodes a family of fatty acid desaturase enzymes responsible for the desaturation of omega-6 PUFAs in the LA to ARA pathway as well as omega-3 PUFAs in the αLA to eicosapentaenoic acid to docosahexaenoic acid pathway (22). Taken together, these findings suggest that the conversion of LA into ARA by the FADS1/2/3 cluster genes may play a key role in BPD etiology. A potential role for PUFAs in BPD has been widely posited over the past decade, although attention has primarily been focused on omega-3 PUFAs such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (22). A key finding from this 2-sample MWMR study suggests that increased synthesis of ARA, an omega-6 PUFA, may lower BPD risk. Although the ARA pathway has previously been implicated in the pathophysiology of BPD (23), to our knowledge, ours is the first study to highlight a potential causal role. Additional work is required to uncover the relevant downstream mechanisms, although studies have shown that ARA plays a vital role in the central nervous system, both as a major phospholipid constituent of neuronal and glial cell membranes and as a signaling molecule (24). Given its presence in human milk, ARA is considered to be essential for infant brain development and is added to infant formulas in many countries (25). Therefore, ARA may exert an effect on BPD risk by affecting neurodevelopmental pathways, which would be consistent with contemporary views of BPD as a neurodevelopmental disorder (26). In children and adults, ARA can be sourced either directly from meat and seafood products or indirectly by de novo synthesis from dietary LA (e.g., nuts, seeds, oils) via the FADS1/2/3 cluster genes (21). Conversely, infants lack the ability to synthesize ARA from LA and so are completely reliant on human milk or formula for their ARA intake (27). Therefore, future studies to assess ARA supplementation as a potential preventive strategy for BPD may be warranted, particularly with children or infants with poor natural dietary sources of ARA. A GWAS of fatty acid levels in breast milk from >1000 Bangladeshi mothers revealed that the FADS1/2/3 cluster was the primary driver of fatty acid levels and that of the 33 fatty acids measured, ARA was the primary fatty acid influenced by this gene cluster (28). Specifically, the authors found that the sentinel variant at the locus, rs174556, was associated with a per major allele effect size of 17% higher ARA levels (28). This is a large effect, and so lower levels of ARA in human milk due to genetic variation at the FADS1/2/3 cluster could play a role in modulating BPD risk. The sentinel variant associated with ARA in breast milk is in moderate to high LD with the BPD sentinel rs174592 (r2 = 0.67, 1000 Genomes Project [European Super Population]), which suggests that the 2 signals do overlap. However, if the levels of ARA in breast milk were a driver of the BPD signal, then the mother's genotype at the FADS1/2/3 cluster would be more important than that of the infant. Thus, a hypothetical cross-generational effect like this would suggest that the FADS1/2/3 cluster exerts a larger effect on BPD risk than current data suggest. In this study, we have shown that the BPD GWAS signal at the FADS1/2/3 cluster is likely driven by PUFA metabolism, suggesting that ARA may be the primary effector. Although the liver is generally considered to be the central organ of PUFA metabolism, the FADS1/2/3 cluster genes are expressed widely across human tissues and cell types, including in the brain (29). Therefore, it is unclear whether this cluster impacts BPD risk via distal mechanisms either in the liver or another peripheral tissue or by local activity in the brain. A recent study using a Fads1/2 knockout mouse model of BPD showed that peripheral, but not central, Fads1/2 gene knockout was necessary to recapitulate the BPD-like phenotype, as evidenced by a loss of the phenotype after conditional knockout in the brain (30). ARA and other PUFAs are actively transported into the brain across the blood-brain barrier (31), and recent GWASs have uncovered genome-wide significant associations between variants at the FADS1/2/3 cluster and several brain imaging-derived phenotypes including cortical thickness and surface area (32,33). Taken together, this is all consistent with peripheral PUFA metabolism having the potential to impact central mechanisms. A major clinical implication of the associations observed here between circulating metabolites and BPD relates to the search for biomarkers. There are currently no clinically approved psychiatric biomarkers, although predictive modeling has been widely applied in attempts to identify biosignatures of different psychiatric disorders. For example, a recent study identified a lipid signature for schizophrenia that also translates to both BPD and major depressive disorder (34). High-resolution profiling of circulating PUFAs in psychiatric patients may therefore prove to be crucial in facilitating psychiatric biomarker discovery. There are several potential limitations to this study. First, although we observed an inverse correlation between the BPD and lithium response GSMR estimates across the 33 BPD-associated metabolites, the lithium response estimates were based on a GWAS of only 2039 patients with BPD (2). A potential role for these metabolites in modulating lithium response should therefore be considered suggestive at best, although several previous studies have shown that lithium and other mood stabilizers impact the ARA pathway in animals (35,36). Second, it is unclear to what extent patients from the BPD GWAS by Mullins et al. (5) who participated in this study had been prescribed lithium. Although MR studies are more robust to confounding from medication and other lifestyle factors than observational studies, it is possible that the signals detected in our study reflect a lithium-responsive BPD subtype. Therefore, additional studies to explore this in more deeply phenotyped participants are needed. Third, because our findings were based on GWASs of European participants, the extent to which they are applicable to other populations is unclear. However, the GWAS signal for BPD at the FADS1/2/3 cluster was originally identified in a Japanese population (37), which suggests that the relevance of our findings likely does extend beyond Europeans. Fourth, although we found little to no evidence to support a role for these 33 BPD-associated metabolites in other related psychiatric disorders, it is possible that they may be relevant for certain psychiatric subtypes. For example, the depression phenotype used in the Howard et al. (38) GWAS was very broad, and so MR studies utilizing future GWASs focused on specific depression subtypes that adhere to more uniform and clinically relevant diagnostic criteria may yield different results. Finally, our replication efforts were hampered by differential metabolomic coverage between the metabolomic discovery and replication datasets. Future studies should therefore focus primarily on replication and validation. Studies that apply the Metabolon HD platform and other high-resolution platforms to independent population cohorts will be crucial to enable comprehensive replication analyses. Moreover, the application of platforms with ever-increasing coverage of PUFAs will help to pinpoint the most relevant metabolites involved in BPD etiology. We propose that future validation studies should utilize the Fads1/2 knockout mouse model of BPD (30) discussed earlier. These mice may represent a suitable preclinical model to assess the efficacy of PUFA supplementation (including ARA) in treating BPD-related symptoms, thereby highlighting specific PUFAs for subsequent randomized clinical trials.

Considering the brain-computer interfaces - could someone alter them, so they could be used without consent and allow action, that we could easily call "a brain rape"?

Absolutely, in a high-tech, low-life society with Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), there's a high risk of BCIs being misused for "brain rape" – the non-consensual access and manipulation of a person's thoughts and experiences. Here are some ways it could happen:
Malicious Hacking:

• Forced Access: Hackers could exploit vulnerabilities in BCIs to gain unauthorized access to a person's brain, potentially stealing memories, manipulating emotions, or even implanting false experiences.
• Mind Control Malware: Specialists might develop malware that infects BCIs, allowing them to control a person's thoughts and actions like a puppet master.

Unethical Government Programs:

• Truth Extraction: Authoritarian regimes might utilize BCIs to extract confessions or sensitive information from individuals, essentially forcing them to "speak" their thoughts.
• Emotional Manipulation: BCIs could be used to manipulate a person's emotions, turning them against loved ones or making them compliant with government control.
• Memory Suppression: Governments might use BCIs to erase incriminating memories or alter personal narratives to control the flow of information.

Black Market Modifications:

• Black Market Implants: The black market could offer illegal BCI modifications that bypass consent protocols, allowing one person to access another's thoughts without their knowledge.
• Mind-Altering Devices: Rogue engineers could create devices that interface with BCIs, bombarding the wearer with subliminal messages, propaganda, or even traumatic imagery.

System Flaws:

• Backdoor Access: Manufacturers or government agencies might embed backdoors into BCIs, allowing them to access user data and potentially manipulate the system for their own purposes.
• Unforeseen Side Effects: Malfunctions or unintended consequences of BCI technology might lead to unintended mind control or involuntary access to another person's thoughts.

Protecting Against Brain Rape:

• Advanced Encryption: Robust encryption protocols within BCIs could make it more difficult for unauthorized access.
• Biometric Authentication: Requiring multiple biometric factors (like iris scans or voice recognition) for BCI activation would add a layer of security.
• Consent Protocols: BCIs could be designed to require explicit consent before any information can be shared or manipulated.
• Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating the public about the risks of BCI misuse could encourage responsible development and usage.

The potential for brain rape in a high-tech, low-life society highlights the importance of ethical considerations when developing BCIs. Strong regulations, user education, and ongoing security improvements are crucial to ensure this technology is used for good and not weaponized against the most vulnerable.

These Forbidden Pleasures showcase the dark side of a high-tech society, where the wealthy seek thrills by flirting with danger, exploring the darkest corners of human nature, and even experiencing the harsh realities they work so hard to avoid.

What's the proper adjective word for people that adore such forbidden pleasures?

Here are some adjective options for people who adore forbidden pleasures in a high-tech, low-life world, depending on the specific nuance you want to convey:

• Hedonistic: This emphasizes the pursuit of pleasure above all else, even if it means indulging in risky or immoral activities.
• Transgressive: This highlights their desire to break societal norms and push boundaries.
• Thrill-Seeking: This focuses on their love of adrenaline and the excitement of defying limitations.
• Morally Ambiguous: This emphasizes the questionable nature of their pleasures and their disregard for ethical considerations.
• Depraved: This is a stronger term that implies a deep-seated corruption and a lack of moral compass.
• Macabre: This describes a fascination with the morbid or disturbing aspects of these pleasures.
• Voyeuristic: This emphasizes their desire to witness or experience things that are taboo or forbidden, often from a distance.
• Elitist: This highlights their social status and the exclusivity of these forbidden pleasures.
• Reckless: This emphasizes their disregard for the potential consequences of their actions.
• Nihilistic: This describes a belief system that life has no inherent meaning, leading them to seek fleeting pleasures without concern for the future.

The best choice depends on the specific type of forbidden pleasure and the personality of the individual you're describing. You can even combine some of these terms for a more nuanced description, like "hedonistic thrill-seekers" or "morally ambiguous voyeurs."

How about decadent? Would that be also proper?

Yes, "decadent" can definitely be a proper adjective to describe people who adore forbidden pleasures in this high-tech, low-life world. Here's why:

• Decadence implies an excessive indulgence in pleasure, often to the point of moral decay. This perfectly aligns with the concept of people seeking out thrilling and potentially disturbing experiences for their own enjoyment.
• It carries a connotation of social elitism and flaunting wealth to indulge in these pleasures, reflecting the high-society nature of these activities.
• The word also suggests a decline in morals and values. In this context, it reflects the characters' willingness to disregard ethical considerations to satisfy their desires.

However, there are some nuances to consider:

• Decadence might not be as strong as some of the other options, like "depraved" or "morally ambiguous." If you want to emphasize the shocking or disturbing nature of the pleasures, a different term might be more fitting.
• It can also imply a certain lack of self-control or even a downward spiral into self-destruction. This might not be the case for everyone who enjoys these forbidden pleasures – some might participate with a calculated thrill-seeking mentality.

Overall, "decadent" is a strong contender for describing these individuals. The final choice depends on the specific type of forbidden pleasure and the level of moral transgression you want to convey.

Anyone have experience with a licensed nutritionist / dietitians in the Jax area they'd recommend? Looking for someone who takes appointments with patients, reviews data from the patient (like body composition scans and labwork), consults with them on their fitness goals and provides them with or helps them refine a detailed nutritional / macros plan customized to their specific healthcare needs. Most definitely not looking for a cookie-cutter / copy-and-paste approach. Nor am I looking for some "weightloss center" snake oil or any business that requires a longterm membership for these services. Nor am I looking for a gym or a personal trainer (already got that covered!) I'm looking for a registered professional. Anyone you'd recommend in the Jax area? Anywhere in Duval, Clay or St. Johns is fine. My understand is dietitians require more education and training to be registered as such, so that would be the preference.
Edited to add: apologies for the misspelling of "dietitians" in the subject line -- can't edit it now!
