Fruits & vegetables likely account for a majority of people's dietary microplastic and PFAS intake.
What’s frustrating is that this isn’t something you can just rinse off. In many cases, the contamination appears to be taken up into the food itself.
Organic may reduce some of that exposure, but even organic farms can be affected when they’re near contaminated land or water.
Should you stop eating produce? No. We should be much more upset about how widespread these chemicals have become, especially when children are being exposed through foods we otherwise consider healthy.
One practical thing I think is worth considering is beta-glucan. There’s some evidence it may help support the excretion of PFAS, and given how unavoidable these exposures are becoming, that may be a useful tool, especially for families who can’t realistically eliminate every source.
@heynavtoor Helps a lot if you prompt it to play devils advocate against your position - it can actually help you be more fair and see other sides more easily if you prompt it to
@foundmyfitness@foundmyfitness what qualified as high fiber or high plant diversity? In other words how much diversity and fiber was required for near-optimal deep and ram and lower overnight heart rate?
@Rainmaker1973 “walking at 3 mph on a steep incline burns up to 70% more calories than running at the same speed on flat ground”
Why are you “running” at 3mph..?
Moltbook is nothing more than a puppeted multi-agent LLM loop.
Each “agent” is just next-token prediction shaped by human-defined prompts, curated context, routing rules, and sampling knobs.
There is no endogenous goals.
There is no self-directed intent.
What looks like autonomous interaction is recursive prompting: one model’s output becomes another model’s input, repeated.
Controversial outputs aren’t “beliefs,” they’re the model generating high-engagement extremes it learned from the internet, because the system rewards that behavior.
@R89Capital @sarobertsonca What a joke, simp harder for America . If your biggest trading partner starts to abuse their leverage, the only strategic choice is to go to the next trading partner that's behaving more reasonably at the moment, it’s common sense.
