Imagine a basket of apples. It is good for you. If you eat many of them, you might eat too much, but you need to eat for a little while for that to happen.

Now imagine that we blend those apples into apple juice. It is much easier to drink, than to eat the same apples! Now you need to make sure you dont drink tok many, and almost all the sugar is in the juice.

Now lets boil the juice for a while, and clarify it. All the tangy cider taste is gone, and it is much easier to drink.. Suddenly it is like drinking a juice box, and you shouldnt have many of those.

When we make sugar we basically take that juice, and boil it until only the sugar is left. Suddenly you can eat the whole basket off Apples in one go!

Shallow social media hype, for profit, seems to be seen as a sort of baseline. Sigh.

So much social science posted here on reddit is just that, opiniated poltical overhyped garbage.

Having opinions is fine, being an intellectual drawing upon a catalogue of knowledge discussing something not explicitly studied is how society works. "Science says Im right" due to weak studies saying something remotely in your direction is concealed heavy handed politics.. It deserves no respect as science.
