eewww I didnt realize I messed up this reply. Here it is for easier viewing: I'm no anthropologist, so correct me if im wrong, but homo erectus ate an awful lot of veggies, and not so many man-made chemicals or deep fried foods, yes? Also it's important to note that I'm mostly playing devil's advocate in this thread. Not…

of course it's oversimplified, but all these white people on forums saying "i'm not lactose intolerant! therefore most people must not be lactose intolerant!" need it simple. :P

huh. clearly reading comprehension isn't a strong suit. to me, "reality time" was referring to the first thought, while the second was a completely different idea. but apologies if that was unclear to you sweetums.

who are you again? your selective memory is a wonderful thing. either that or you're new-ish. I don't remember you from years ago.

sounds to me like he's a doctor who explores options other than drugs first - which to me - makes for a very GOOD doctor.

which is better? lol

it raises HDL which is the good stuff. and i'm sorry, but if i need studies when i make assertions I believe to be true, then so does everyone else. otherwise I'll just refuse from now on - which would make me immensely happy.

study please.

Sigh... WHITE PEOPLE are mostly lactase-persistent, meaning most white folks can drink milk without problems. NON-WHITE PEOPLE are mostly lactose-intolerant. The majority of people around the world are not white, therefore it IS TRUE that the MAJORITY of people are lactose intolerant. K?

Reality time: If you don't WANT to go vegan, you won't stick to it - no matter how much anyone tells you you "need" it. If you truly WANT to try veganism, go for it. If you don't, then don't. Very simple. Honestly, add coconut oil, chia seeds, and any other medium chain fatty acid containing foods to your diet and watch…

Nvm I'm sleeping

damn I didn't see this. but the irony is strong. not about you, but the poster you quoted, who attacked me repeatedly before I whipped out the "hangry". G'night for real!

Perfect - I'm gonna go to sleep, but in the meantime maybe you can tell me why IF is solid scientifically and a juice fast isn't. kthxbai!

agreed. :wink:

Yup. I always wonder why IF people rail against cleanses. (same concept kiddos)

- Body doesn't need a change, except to pack on some more muscle, which I'll get back to shortly. - Not trying to prove anything. Thus the experiment. The point is that I DON'T have all the answers. - Not sure why y'all get so worked up over this stuff - it's kind of like gay marriage. It doesn't affect you so why do you…

I wasn't disputing the vitamin example, simply the idea that the body "doesn't absorb what it doesn't need". Certain minerals and heavy metals that are absorbed by the body can reach toxic levels in certain circumstances - how is this possible if the body only absorbs what it needs and excretes the rest? I also am not…

so the carcinogens?

Dude you're 18 and skinny as *kitten* and you're worried about eating 2000 calories? look at my pictures. I'm 5'7" and I eat 3,000 - 4,000 calories a DAY. I honestly am concerned that you don't have a healthy relationship with food. There's no reason in hell for you to have been eating 800 calories a day.

so glad you're taking your own advice and making it stop. much appreciated. go have that donut. :)

this is patently false. the body absorbs whatever there is to absorb. it's not a choice. what about radiation? what about carcinogens? what about lead poisoning? what on earth are you talking about?

science literally cannot prove impossibility. sorry bud :)

donut?

If poop creates no residue in your colon, why do you have to wipe? ETA: this is the grossest convo I think I've ever had.

The intestines and colon do a TON of absorption of nutrients (which is why suppositories are a thing). Is it so wild and fantastic to imagine that when these areas are NOT shiny and clean, the elements of the left over fermenting waste materials reabsorb? Is that completely and utterly impossible? I don't have the answer,…

Lol you guys are acting like this is more than a three day experiment... kind of entertaining to be honest.

Ok right. Visibility. So does that mean that there's some gunk up in there that could use being flushed out on occasion? Clearly it means there's something that doesn't get purged through typical bathroom trips yes?

I'm not. What do doctor's prefer you do?

No throwing away of pulp. No worries there. Secondly, anyone taking a cleanse should absolutely replenish their gut flora by taking a solid probiotic Thirdly, I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool believer. I'm curious for myself, and more so I'm curious about how it may or may not affect the mucus production in my body. It's an…
