@pitdesi My understanding is that HFCS is worse because of faster absorption (the fructose and glucose are not bound), so it causes a higher sugar spike that worse for your health.

Turns out Spain is advocating for banning end-to-end encryption for hundreds of millions of people in the European Union. Didn't have that on my bingo card. https://t.co/PqNZb7aaRH

Seeing this important narrative re-emerge… still having troubles truly internalizing the second order implications which are undoubtedly profound

Lots of attention (rightly) on projections that China’s population might fall by ⚠️ roughly half ⚠️ by end of this century, but not sure people appreciate quite how widespread this dynamic is.

This is best crypto news I’ve read all year - if you fancy yourself a crypto/web3 enthusiast, sinful to not be in loop with discussions that will emerge here.

A GIANT leap for decentralized research was made today 🧬

For the first time, real-world biopharma research and IP was transferred and funded on-chain as an NFT via @Molecule_to @Nevermined_io @vitadao

A DAO now owns IP and funds biotech research at a leading lab... 👇

With protest erupting around Cuba on Sunday, the island nation's ruling party responded by blocking access to Facebook, WhatsApp, and other popular communication & social media platforms. Cuba has disrupted the access before, but never to this extent https://t.co/XisOPSDZLy
