That is my understanding, yes. Apologies if I got it wrong. Out of all these subjects it isn't the one I've researched as much.

Did you know nicotine from the leaves are so strong that people use to extract it from them to make a poison that could not be tested for after a murder. It burned the mouth and throat when they had a drink... It only took tiny drops to do someone in.
Same LD50 dose as herion, there is an insecticide made with Nicotine in the UK, but you have to sign the poisons book in the chemist if you want to buy it.
 
I think Michael Pollan really summed it up.

Eat food.
Not too much.
Mostly plants.

That sounds familiar.... 😀

Destroyer, there's very VERY little actionable medically from any sort of 23&me analysis. It's pop medicine at best, and more for giggles than anything else. I fear you're running off the deep end again with all your late comments, barring the tobacco bit, which, I honestly am ignorant about. I'd be surprised if it's not moderately regulated, though. The whole industry in the US is.
 
On a more audio related subject I have a question about using an ADAU1701 and a TI TPA3251D class-d chip. Would you place a balanced line driver between those two, the TPA seems to appreciate a balanced line drive on the input. I can't discern if the ADAU is balanced output or se, I have a feeling the analog outputs are single ended. I was looking at the THAT 1606 to take care of this if necessary.

It depends on how many speakers you wish to drive using a single TPA3251D.

If you wish to drive two speakers in differential input BTL mode then you would want use a balanced drive to the TPA chip. A wee catch is to watch the maximum input voltage as it is only 7V peak. This is a common feature of the TI analog input class D amp chips - there is an absolute max voltage limit on the input that is deceptively low.
 
Well, I'm sorry you lost your sister. And I only meant those items would clue me into perhaps why she developed a case advanced enough that it got her; I wasn't suggesting a cure.

Well lumps of here were sent to various uni and research hospital departments and no one had a clue. Hyper agressive. A tumour roughtly the size of a new born baby was cut out of her. 4 weeks later it was back the same size. Believed to have originally abdominal wall but couldn't tell.
It's important to point out that all native American tribes, excluding the Blackfoot, were entirely Type O blood. They shared a lot more in common with each other than you might think; given that as far as we can tell all but the Blackfoot were a group of people that migrated at the same time to the continents.
Which is exactly why the individual population differences between the tribes are so fascinating.
Another less known fact is that Native Americans looked very athletic pre-colonization. They were like the idealized body the you'd see in European art, early Rome/Greek. That is except those that switched to heavy grain diets.
I doubt they were as ripped as greek nudes. Too much muscle mass for the sort of lifestyle. But happy to be proved wrong.
 
factoid --- cancer tumor placed in animals were given 2 diets. One with protein supplied only by plants and the other group had their protein portion of the diet supplied by animal (meat). At a certain level of concentration percentage of meat protein, the meat group's tumor started to grow. There was no amount of plant protein group's diet that ever caused the cancer tumor to grow. The amount of protein needed to be healthy? About equal to 1/4 pound of meat/day. The meat level that causes tumor growth was equivalent to a little more than 1/4 pound of meat for humans.

quite good but restriction caloric is the way , vegetale protein is a lot better but at low intake ,we need all caloric need by only 10% protein ,heat raw rice ,vegetable all day,some fruit

moronix well spotted!! 2/3 of the study is biased by industry bastard!
PS Asian don't heat raw soy but only fermentated one like Tempeh a really good alternative ,Miso too ,last good study find that is ormone are not a problem with woman with cancer...
STOP monsanto glisfolate

When matters of nutritional "science" are concerned, I try to remember to make the appeal for accounting for individual differences. One size does NOT fit all, and genotypes are different. My friend Kathy swears she couldn't lose weight on a low-carb diet. I wasn't there to monitor her so I have to take her statement as true. And she is really smart, so it is not as if she was eating something and unaware that it was not permitted on the diet. In fact for a while she even taught food chemistry and hygiene at a cooking school.

There was, in contrast, a former office partner who decided he would go on a similar diet, on which I had lost about 25 pounds. However despite being a degreed nuclear engineer, I heard from his secretary that he was complaining about the privations of not eating potatoes. "That diet of Brad's made me have to eat rice instead". Oddly he didn't lose weight very quickly 🙂

I agree with you. 10% is good number...

There are such skeptics here in DIYaudio and after awhile you learn they are either control freaks or have trust issues with authority figures and the like. Not as rational as they like to pretend. Much is a lot like the arguments the tobacco industry kept the public dancing about any links to cancer..... no test was perfect enough or conclusive enough or was obscured by various technical points. No hard certain perfect conclusions could be drawn for decades with this method or strategy of arguing. SY does this day in and day out. But eventually, thinking people finally called it and got the legislation passed that smoking does cause cancer in many many people.
Health and listening is handled the same way.... it is always too complicated for us to figure out and the strategy is the same. Fortunately, there are other means to determine what is true and not play the game of endlessly jumping thru hoops when the info is there already and has been for a long time.
