    Processed foods in and of themselves have no ability to “ignite” hormones, processed foods that lead to obesity can and processed foods that contain hormones (milk, chicken, etc) have also had studies done trying to show correlation but nothing definitive came from it. Also teenage birth rates...

    That’s where the mandatory continuing education comes into play. Plus things like M&M’s and other specialized updates.

    So I can see how you think that but in reality that really isn’t the case. We can’t tell you what caused your cancer because we don’t know. Take smoking for example, if someone gets diagnosed with lung cancer who was a pack a day smoker at best we can say the smoking directly contributed or was...

    Hawkeye FB Schedule

    I’d smash the under on that wager until we see a competent offense with that schedule. Outside of the two non con G5 games the only auto win on that schedule is probably northwestern. Outside of Minn and the OSU auto loss, the other teams all have either first or second year coaches so it’s...

    Someone likes to make statements about things they clearly have no understanding of. There has been no evidence of Covid vaccines causing ADE. Edit* also for that matter todays routinely recommending vaccinations do not cause ADE.

    Prevailing theory in the US is childhood obesity. Precocious puberty as a whole isn’t very well understood, there are number of theory’s and studies but nothing concrete. Very often the cause is never discovered unless it’s a tumor or something obvious.

    There has been a major effort to reduce c-sections in certain areas but you’re right it’s very demographic dependent. There also is a big correlation that if a c-section is done during the first pregnancy then it’s more common for subsequent pregnancy’s to also be c-sections. Combine those...

    Just to clarify, c-sections are actually on the rise, especially globally and in the US, first time c-sections are also on the rise the last several years. Don’t know about “elective” as you pointed out off the top of my head but in general they are on the rise.

    This is all correct and also very well stated. Just would like to add that there are a very wide range of reasons why a c-section is preferable and if you have one for whatever reason you aren’t doing anything wrong or harming the child by having one. Always like to mention that because there...

    Could still be human contamination but if it happens again might be worth looking in to

    General Sickness

    Not discounting any possibility but it’s far more likely either human contamination during handling or simply coincidence. If it truly was a ground water thing it would be a larger public health issue. Do you always wash your fruit thoroughly before eating it and get a lot of fiber in your diet?

    So a lot of people are dumbing or disagreeing with your post without explaining why this is wrong, so I’ll try that. Simply put your immune system doesn’t work that way for adults. What you’re thinking of is what is referred to as the hygiene hypothesis which is in regards to children where...

    This is correct that an actual asthma diagnosis is something that is a life long condition that you don’t outgrow. However even though you still always have the condition, over 50% of people with asthma have their symptoms go away to the point that they don’t need to be managed anymore. This is...

    Why is life worth living?

    As someone who had their house broken into in college (while I was there) I just wanted to say that there is no right or wrong way to process or move forward with what you experienced. You’re gonna get a lot of advice from people about what helped them get past similar experiences and you might...

    Smart call. Also any back door chance Iowa had of getting in is gone with that Maryland loss. Also can’t believe SC gets pasted by 40 when they are ranked eleventh

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    That’s my point, it doesn’t happen because winning is all that matters. Winning big and winning regularly puts butts in seats and kept a coaches jobs secure. That’s why “records don’t matter” is so wrong, they are all that matter. That’s why a coach would never get fired with wins equal or above...

    Those are some excellent points. Doesn’t take away from the fact that coaches that win at or above the schools expected level don’t get fired though. That was my entire point. I’ve always been super impressed with ISU fans sticking it out through thick and thin. My Alma maters fan certainly...
