SAMA HOOLE: Modern nutrition science: 70 years old. Funded by food industry. Causing epidemic disease. Traditional wisdom: Millions of years old. Tested by survival. Producing healthy populations.

Every traditional culture Weston A. Price studied had dietary wisdom passed down through generations: Swiss villagers: "The butter and cheese make strong bones. Don't eat the valley food." Gaelic islanders: "Fish heads and organs have the strength. Don't skip them." Maasai: "Blood and milk make warriors. Grain makes farmers weak." Inuit: "Fat is life. Lean meat is death. The white food is poison." Polynesians: "The sea provides strength. The land food is for famine." Australian Aboriginals: "Follow the animals. They know what to eat." They weren't guessing. They were passing down thousands of years of empirical observation. Children who ate traditional food: Healthy, strong, survived. Children who didn't: Weak, sick, died. Natural selection is the ultimate peer review. It ran for millennia. The results were clear. Modern nutrition science: 70 years old. Funded by food industry. Causing epidemic disease. Traditional wisdom: Millions of years old. Tested by survival. Producing healthy populations. Which one should we trust? We chose the 70-year-old industry-funded science. Because it's "modern." The traditional cultures watched us choose wrong. They tried to warn us. "That food will make you sick. It made us sick. Don't eat it." We called them ignorant. Backward. Unscientific. Then we got obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions, mental illness - all at epidemic rates. They were right. We were wrong. The evidence is overwhelming. But admitting this means admitting we've been poisoning ourselves for 70 years while calling it progress. Can't have that. Too embarrassing. Too expensive. Too many industries to dismantle. So we keep pretending traditional cultures were lucky. Or genetic outliers. Or that their health was coincidence. When actually they knew. They'd always known. And we forgot.

BASIL THE GREAT: A list of dictators who abolished Jury Trials

GIMMEMYCOUNTRYBACK: During her tenure . . . she handled 872 Asylum claims, granting asylum in 779 cases (83.3% grant rate, including 14 other relief types), far exceeding the national average denial rate of 58.9% and the San Francisco court's 28.7% denial rate

SAMA HOOLE: Fructose metabolism: Goes straight to the liver: Unlike glucose (which every cell can use), fructose is processed almost entirely by the liver.

"Did you know fructose bypasses insulin?! This means fruit sugar is superior!" Yes. Fructose bypasses insulin and goes straight to your liver. Where it's converted to fat through de novo lipogenesis. This isn't a feature. This is how you get fatty liver disease. Glucose at least gets used by muscles immediately. Fructose goes to your liver, gets turned into triglycerides, and stored.

You've just discovered the mechanism by which chronic fructose consumption causes metabolic syndrome. --Sama Hoole

"But fruit is natural! Humans evolved eating it!" Barely. And the fruit we evolved with was nothing like modern fruit. Wild berries: Small, sparse, seasonal, mostly seed with minimal flesh. Maybe 6g fructose per 100g if you're lucky. Available 2-3 months per year. Modern fruit: Year-round, bred for sweetness, minimal seeds, 15-20g fructose per 100g. An apple is a weapon of mass metabolic destruction compared to what our ancestors found. Fructose metabolism: Goes straight to the liver: Unlike glucose (which every cell can use), fructose is processed almost entirely by the liver. Converts to fat: The liver turns excess fructose into triglycerides. This creates fatty liver, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Doesn't trigger satiety: Glucose signals fullness. Fructose doesn't. This is why you can eat fruit until you're sick and still want more. Feeds de novo lipogenesis: Your body literally makes new fat from fructose. This is the mechanism behind "how do gorillas get fat eating plants?" They eat massive amounts of fructose. You don't want to be a gorilla. "But honey is ancestral!" Yes. And our ancestors raided bee hives maybe twice a year and got stung to shit in the process. They weren't buying jars at Tesco and having it daily. The dose makes the poison. A small amount of honey occasionally? Probably fine. Daily fruit smoothies because "it's natural"? You're giving yourself metabolic syndrome with extra vitamins. Fructose is fructose. Whether it's in an apple, a Coke, or honey. Your liver processes it the same way. The "but it's natural!" argument is meaningless. Arsenic is natural. Doesn't mean you should eat it. If you want optimal metabolic health, fruit is unnecessary at best and problematic at worst. You don't need it. You're just addicted to sugar and using "but vitamins!" as justification.

KEVIN DALTON: It turns out the mystery taxpayer funded NGO that flew in a bunch of drug addicts from around the country to a beachfront “facility” in Santa Monica dumped all the addicts in MacArthur Park in downtown Los Angeles after the scam was uncovered.
