  • Yeah I’m in the US, and am hoping the ACA won’t get gutted too but this administration has done so many self-destructive things…

    Thanks for your perspective. It sucks that the info is likely going to end up in the hands of the insurance industry, no matter what I do. I just do not trust them at all.

    My doctor keeps paper records but I hear the younger generation is all EHR.

    Also since these drugs are all controlled substances, at least in my state, they all get reported to SureScripts who will give the info to any health provider who asks. Technically insurance companies can’t get it but given how leaky you describe this business, I assume it’s just a matter of time.

    So maybe no point in trying to keep this private? That would be sort of a relief honestly.









  • That’s a good point, but unfortunately I’ve never seen any evidence that your body does or does not absorb the lead from psyllium fiber, or if the fiber maybe even absorbs more lead from your body on the way through. All I know is that psyllium fiber has lead in it, and that there are other sources of fiber that don’t.


  • Sorry to rain on your parade but psyllium plants soak up lead, and ConsumerLabs tested different brands and they all had significant lead, and like half of them had more lead than California’s suggested maximum. No way to avoid it. I switched to Citrucel or something generic that doesn’t have that problem.


  • I may or may not be a lawyer, but if I am, I am not your lawyer and this comment is for entertainment purposes only.

    At the core, a non disclosure agreement (NDA) just means you agree to keep your mouth shut about something, often in exchange for hearing about an investment idea or as part of a legal settlement.

    Like most contracts, the consequences to the breaker are going to be no more than the actual damages to the other side.

    So how much money did it cost them? Or the money value of the reputational harm? That’s probably the most you would be on the hook for. Unless the contract itself enumerates the amount of the “damage” for a breach, but whether they can actually enforce that is a can of worms.


  • These are misconceptions, or rather a bit out of date.

    Wind and solar are much cheaper than fossil fuels now. Significantly cheaper.

    And is an old school investment bank presenting this information.

    Even for running a car, using solar-produced electricity is a fraction of the cost of gasoline; gas is 3-5x more expensive.

    And nuclear is not anywhere near as cheap as wind or solar unfortunately, although we haven’t put much effort into making it more efficient for a few decades now so that might change.
