After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

Especially bad in the US, is high fructose corn syrup...we have that shit in tons of foods and beverages. :(
youd be amazed how much is in things youd think of as staples
canned food for instance. the load it with corn syrup then they salt the fuck out of it so you dont notice

it takes diligence to avoid the stuff...

well made some changes over last few years.
1st was peanut butter is old fashioned now. have to stir,
but is peanuts and salt that's it. then oils i have used up
last of the crisco about a month ago. now peanut or coconut
oil is all i got. then soda have 1 every other month or so with
my 1 a month pizza. is either a mexican soda or a craft rootbeer.
there still made with real sugar. speaking of sugar i buy C&H sugar.
is still cane sugar not beet sugar. C&H is heavily subsidized buy the gov.
to keep it's price down.
good job on bettering yourself's every one :tup:

i wonder how many people have low vitamin D levels, in the US over 40% of people have low levels.

I've been taking 5000 IU (international units) every day for the past 6 months, I ran out that other day and I have ordered some more, but I am thinking of taking 10.000 IU every day now its cold outside and I don't get any sun a tall, I feel lot better after taking it for 6 months I think I had fuck all in my body and it takes a while before your levels are topped up hence taking the 10.000 iu daily

not all milk is fortified in the UK, raw milk isn't.

the fortified milk has only 100 IU which isn't a lot.

been reading that you should take vitamin D tabs with something fat-soluble food, I've not been doing that, but is that why it's not been as effective, some yt vids don't even mention anything about taking it with fat-soluble food ?

Pretty sure I saw something aboot taking it with zinc...makes the vit D more accessible to the body. Plus, zinc is good for your immune system.
