    General Sickness

    If you think electromagnetic waves might be causing cancer (potentially including your own) you could’ve just come out and said as much. American Cancer Society has a pretty fair summary of information on this...

    Regarding testing for potential carcinogens: this is a great updated article from a real scientist: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/12/18/all-the-carcinogens-we-cannot-see#:~:text=In%20the%20nineteen%2Dseventies%2C%20Bruce,the%20cell%20to%20divide%20uncontrollably. If you actually get...

    General Sickness

    Of course I agree on your last statement. But I don’t understand your overall point, and I don’t think that the truth of your statement means we should change anything about how we currently operate as a society. ‘Real science’ would never say something ‘can not cause cancer’, the way you...

    General Sickness

    I’ve been saying out loud since ~Christmas that we’ve had an easy winter with the kids. So far so good. Probably setting us up for severe flu cases in March (or maybe April when we plan to travel).

    To your last question - yes, that is an accurate way to state it. We say something ‘causes’ cancer if it statistically increases the frequency of cancer cases in a large population. Edited to add: if some factor has been studied in a large population, and found to have no statistical impact on...

    General Sickness

    Here’s a golden rule for consuming news related to ‘science’ and health: Never read any headlines in mass media about cancer or nutrition. That stuff is clickbait. If you read that stuff in mass media you are not getting a fair picture of science. If you want better content related to the...

    General Sickness

    With all due respect, medicine and biology in general are infinitely more difficult to work out causation compared to the perspective of human-developed technology like software and hardware (even though they all get lumped under the umbrella of ‘science and technology). There are simply too...

    General Sickness

    My advice is don’t get too worked up about it (and I say that as someone in the general research area). As for breastfeeding, even a little bit supplemented with formula is probably better than straight formula. Now with all that said….. One of the things we know about health promoting...

    General Sickness

    Interesting, and believable. I wonder if it relates to changing demographics (ie aging mothers) and more high risk pregnancy? I haven’t looked at studies I just know my wife (who is an OB) trained at places where there was a concerted effort to decrease c section rates. And in the ob community...

    General Sickness

    I try to be careful talking about this because I also don’t want to shame anyone who chooses c section or formula for good reason. On the positive side, especially as women have filled out the ob/gyn field (and many other changes as well, like a shift to from private practice where your...

    General Sickness

    It’s the microbiome. There are specific types of bacteria living in the vaginal canal and also feces (babies often are exposed to mom’s poop during birth). Studies have already shown that vaginal birth babies end up with a bacterial community in their intestine that more closely resembles...

    General Sickness

    Speaking as a professional biomedical researcher here: The best thing you can do is try to get involved with a patient advocacy/research foundation for your specific disease indication. Regular clinical physicians are already overwhelmed with treating run-of-the-mill conditions. Plus, if the...

    Best wishes to all in this thread, and I’m knocking wood HARD, but….. We have a 3 and a 6 year old and this winter has been BY FAR the easiest in terms of general household sickness since before we had kids

    Bracketology 2024

    The only thing they can say against ISU vs KU is non con SOS. To be fair they’ve been fairly consistent at using that in seeding, but on our behalf we played in a decent non con tournament this year

    Could this team become the best team in Cyclone MBB History?

    He was probably never going to live up to his draft status but he was developing until tearing his ACL https://www.nba.com/bulls/news/fizer_030707.html Torn acl makes it tough for a guy who was already challenged in lateral quickness at the nba level

    Could this team become the best team in Cyclone MBB History?

    What’s most impressive about out current team is their depth (as mentioned) and their consistent defense and grit. I’ve been most impressed by their road win at TCU without Lipsey and the close loss at Baylor in a game where they objectively played poorly. On the other hand, playing at BYU...

    Could this team become the best team in Cyclone MBB History?

    This thread is putting too much stock overall in NCAA tournament results vs results over a season. Like we are forgetting the 2000-2001 team even existed when they went 26-4 in the regular season. Just look at that season and tell me that isn’t the second best team in ISU history. This years...

    Interview with George Conditt

    He seemed to have all the raw tools to be elite. He showed so much promise as a freshman but never seemed to develop here. I can’t imagine what 4 years with Kyle Green would’ve done for him.
