Do we know for sure that they trained on data from libgen etc? It's such a powerful source of information you'd assume they must have, although they would never admit it. There must be a way to test if they have, via enquiring about some niche information only found in certain books.

Lol... it was known extremely early on that fomite transmission was practically unheard of. People were hand sanitizing for years after this. God knows why. The FDA still hasn't even declared hand sanitizer safe to use by the way.

Dark mode is slightly harder to read, but it's preferable to having 4 screens blearing bright white light at me all day.

It wasn't a survey. Imagine calling something pseudo science without even reading the abstract.

The compliance rate was 89%, which is higher than that of statin drug therapy. If discipline was a factor, it was a very small one.

Very few vegans eat whole foods, which is what was used in the study.

You're right about Ghee. It is off the charts high in oxidized cholesterol. It's like butter on crack.

cronometer.com is an excellent and complete nutritional calculator. it calculates your individual amino acid requirements so you can get your complete protein for the day. your liver actually stores amino acids to form complete proteins so it doesn't matter if you eat incomplete protein one meal as long as your overall diet is balanced. complete protein is just a term for the amino acid makeup of human tissue, so technically the only complete protein out there would come from cannibalism.
