My favorite part of the article about why we should keep using antidepressants:
"Many commonly used medicines were used for decades before we understood their mechanisms of action: from aspirin to morphine to penicillin. Knowing they worked provided the impetus for establishing how they worked; and this knowledge generated new treatments."
Given that studies show that anti-depressants don't really work better than placebo, not as compelling argument as this statement would be for, IDK, Ivermectin?

Yeah. 💯🎯. I’m starting to think that processed sugar (especially refined sugar) does more damage to our bodies than we think. Also, I’m finding that the natural sugar in fruit is healthy. On the fence with cane sugar. Definitely avoid the processed sugars (e.g., high fructose corn syrup).
I don't think it's so much processed sugar as it's the quantity, there's simply way too much of it in so many foods just like how there's too much salt. Like every recipe I try that I find online I have to use like 1/3 of the amount of salt listed in the recipe or it's inedible.
Coca leaf is to cocaine as sugar cane is to refined sugar.
