Sodas sodium content is minimal, much lower than physiologically concentrations and about equivalent to the amount found in tap water. To be honest if you are running you are going to want to be drinking something that has electrolytes such as sodium...likely in higher concentrations than are found in soda. Drinking pure…

I dont believe I made the claim of a vast majority and I certainly didn't presume to assume that of you personally.

Carbs are sugars and sugars are carbs. Starches are just chains of sugars and fiber is just chains of sugars you don't have the enzymes required to digest.

I think many people perceive life as a competition and rewards for basic participation (like getting up in the morning as an adult) being rather condescending at best and at worst instilling some pretty poor values (one should expect praise for carrying out basic functions of an adult). Personally my gut reaction to an app…

There seem to be two camps developing in this thread based on a different perception of the world....it is rather interesting. If people are willing to respond to a hypothetical I'd be curious how these two camps divide on this example: This year the little league season had a trophy for the one team that won the finals.…

I've struggled with depression as well....doesn't mean we deserve a reward for doing basic things. I am capable of more than getting out of bed, I'm not going to consider that to be the bar for a reward regardless of psychological state.

Running a marathon is an accomplishment, getting out of bed is not. If we start treating getting out of bed as an accomplishment it dilutes what "accomplishment" means. It is kind of like handing trophies out to everyone because you want everyone to feel good...all it ends up doing is making trophies pointless. It is more…

Was there somewhere where I claimed it was a black or white or either/or dirt of situation? If I at all implied that then allow me to say that isn't my meaning. I never claimed everyone works for work sake or that no one does. Honestly I'm not sure why you seem to be taking offense to what I am saying like I am being…

That is a depressing thought. I wasnt claiming that now all people work for money while previously all people worked for society or for passion. I'm saying it seems like the distribution is skewed a bit towards it being about money and how that isnt a good thing. I'd point to the fact that certain professions tend to be…

Yeah well scientists are just people and if you talk to them in person they will sometimes end up being more hyperbolic as well. Not to mention if what the scientist "said" is through the filter of a news article then the journalist had the ability to select what they considered the most "interesting" statements which…

As far as the comments towards science go refer to the comic I posted. I very much agree the media oversimplifies and sensationalized studies. I agree that the public perception of science and scientists is colored by this. I disagree however that actual scientific study publications are sensationalized though....if you…

Honestly 99.9% of what is out there is drivel. Whenever you try to distill something like diet into "good" and "bad" you are going to end up exaggerating and saying things that honestly aren't true. Even the stuff that is in theory "backed by science" typically suffers from the typical science news cycle which was fairly…

Yeah, toxic work enviornments and high turnover certainly have a share in the blame. I just think society as a whole has just sort of gone with that as the new norm and that seems unsustainable if we are to succeed.

This sort of attitude is easy to laugh at but is actually really detrimental to society. That we should applaud ourselves or others for the most basic responsibilities of adulthood. Seems like at some point society shifted in a way where "difficult" became synonymous with "bad" and "work" was something you should try to…

I certainly agree with you that macros play an important role in satiety as does how desirable the food is (subjectively determined). However, and this is important, if you are satisfied by starches then you are clearly satisfied by carbohydrates and you can only be satisfied by those if you digest them. I do not agree…

I guess I don't get why people want to reduce the calorie content of their food. If food has fewer calories that just means you will be hungrier after consuming it than had it had the original calories. All reducing calorie content of food is doing is ruining food. I mean if you want to reduce the calorie content of your…

Yeah I think I should step away as well if for no other reason than to let the conversation move on. Have a good rest of your day, no hard feelings thank you for the discussion.

When is it okay to ignore due process. Can you give a straight answer to that? Also I'm not referring only to criminal court but also civil court. In court there is transperancy on decisions through documentation, a chance for arbitration and appeal and severity of punishment is tied to severity of crime. In social media…

I do understand the bolded part here. However if a person goes to the police and confesses to a crime they aren't just assumed to be guilty and immediately punished their claims are investigated, evidence collected and then they are brought to a court and tried. How would you feel if confession to police resulted in just…

To all people sending me (a member of the public) online media sources and asking me judge guilt on the basis of that....are you just ignoring what I am saying or dismissing it or have I somehow not made it clear or what?

I think this just underlines how much we are speaking past one another. I am only saying this one more time just as I have said it many times before then I am going to leave. My issue is I dont think it is appropriate for the public to assess guilt on the basis of media. Your response to this is to send me, a member of the…

I can't speak for everyone but for myself it really isnt that I dont take Male harrassment of women seriously enough. I would be saying the same thing about how it is inappropriate to seek punishment through social media about a murder case too and that isnt because I dont take murder seriously it's because I dont think it…

Was that impression derived from things you read online? When I say I am uncomfortable about the public (including myself) coming to conclusions about guilt based off of online media and discussing what consequences that person should then suffer and then working to enact those consequences through social pressure I mean…

Oh I hadn't realized he was tried and convicted...I mean if someone is found guilty of a crime and then suffers additional social consequences as a result that is life. I just dont like the idea that one is assessing guilt of a person solely based on what they read about them online. Online accounts are not reliable and I…

Again, my issue isn't with punishment of the guilty...it is with guilt being assessed by the general public rather than a court and punishment not having a set standard that is connected to the nature of the crime. Your statement suggests that anyone who is accused is guilty...that is clearly not going to be true 100% of…

I'm not saying that white male privelage or other privelage doesn't exist...I'm saying that has nothing to do about whether or not a particular behavior or a particular punishment is just or not. If person A sexually harasses person B that is unjust. If the general public reads about it online and decides that person A or…

So you feel like there is a level of misbehavior that is not deserving of being called a crime but is deserving of social media based punishment that really has no standards or control over how damaging the effect is on that persons life? I'd argue if the offense is not criminal does it really deserve a punishment? If it…

Really? You think it is extremely rare to have someone suffer financially and socially due to claims made online? I'm not sure what to say to that.

When does the general public sit around and arm-chair judge someone based on what they read about them on the internet, determine whether they think they are guilty or not and then try to discuss what an appropriate punishment would be? Well...this thread for one. Again, it doesn't matter if the person being judged is…
