  • And the fucking United States government shouldn’t have to sue to put an end to this. Sick and fucking tired of hearing about “states rights”.

    We are the United States of America. Time for the federal government to use its power go down there remove the fucking barriers and make Texas pay for the removal.

    Then if Abbott and his cronies want to continue pull federal funding until they fucking bleed. Our until the Texans get sick of hurting and remove the scumbags from office.







  • Can Diet Soda Increase the Chances of Dementia? June 12, 2019

    Can Diet Soda Increase the Chances of Dementia The artificial sweeteners used in diet sodas—and thousands of other processed foods—are anything but sweet. In fact, they can be toxic to the brain. Consuming these sugar substitutes on a regular basis is not a recipe for a healthy memory.

    Sherry, who weighed over 200 pounds on her 5’5” frame, guzzled diet soda thinking it would help her lose weight. It didn’t. Even worse, she started experiencing a host of symptoms—digestive issues, arthritis, forgetfulness, and confusion. In fact, Sherry’s diet soda habit was hurting her brain and putting her memory at risk.

    That’s what a growing body of evidence shows. For example, a study in the journal Stroke found that drinking diet soda was linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

    4 Ways Artificial Sweeteners Steal Your Mind

    1. Aspartame overstimulates neurotransmitters. One of the most commonly used artificial sweeteners in diet sodas, aspartame is particularly damaging to the brain. Consider how it impacts aspartate, an excitatory neurotransmitter associated with memory as well as learning and pain perception. Aspartame stimulates this neurotransmitter. This may sound like a good thing, but in excessive amounts it overstimulates it, turning it into a potent neurotoxin that damages neurons, causes cell death, and is associated with a host of issues including memory problems and dementia.

    Also my brother and dad were heavy drinkers of diet Coke I saw first hand experience of ut affecting their memory. With my dad we literally thought he had dementia. Then we cut it off and over time he got better.






  • Risky move here. My wife is a huge fan of the series. She has watched every episode at least twice. I tried to get started and made it through the 1st couple of arks. But this show alone as over 1000 episodes not including manga. .

    But wife thinks it might be okay since the creator okayed this show and they had to get his approval on each episode. We will see. Looks good to me hope its good.
