Reply to NY Times data visualization is Russian propaganda. Uses population for circle size instead of GDP. by electrons-streaming

Disappointing, but in keeping with an ideologically confused take. Unfortunately they become part of the problem in their selective use of quotes and and the glossing over of history, let alone the atrocities committed. This is not something one can be above... any pretense to be objective is absurd. Attention: this is not a drill.

Reply to comment by InTheEndEntropyWins in The implementation of a soft drinks industry levy in the UK in 2018 was associated with an 8% reduction in obesity among 10-11 year old girls with the greatest reductions seen in those living in the most deprived areas. No such association was found in 10-11 year old boys or younger children. by shiruken

Maybe. Unfortunately I could not see that the study controlled for that. They do mention other studies showing boys more susceptible to junk food advertising.

Well, metabolism is what links sugar intake to fat production. Too much sugar will eventually lead to excess being converted to fat, via an intermediate called acetyl-CoA. There are quite a few biochemical transformations that take place along the way. If you're interested, look up 'lipogenesis'. Part of the process is regulated by insulin, which is secreted when sugar is ingested. Note: if you follow the link at the bottom of this article it will take you to the original published study.

Clearly the differences between boys and girls go far beyond ratios of fat and muscle and how they are distributed. What is remarkable in this study is that it is happening at the level of intermediary metabolism, even at such an early age.

Amazing such a clear sex difference in metabolism exists already at this early age, mostly pre-puberty.

Reply to Pot allergy in bostin please help by [deleted]

There are some practicing doctors who have a specialization in helping overcome allergic reactions. Not easy to find but can help some people. If they are not able to detect it with their tests, then it may be more psychosomatic, which is not to downplay it, but a different approach, like therapist, may be helpful.
