Vegan vs Omnivore

Vegan vs Omnivore

(Tom: Here is another survey highlighting the unsustainability of a vegan diet.)

Identical twins Hugo and Ross Turner spent 12 weeks on opposite diets—one vegan, one omnivorous—under scientific supervision to compare real health impacts.

Hugo on the vegan diet lost 4 pounds of fat, gained mental clarity, but experienced a notable libido drop.

Ross eating meat gained muscle while also gaining some fat, with unchanged cholesterol levels and stable gut health.

The vegan diet reduced gut microbiome diversity while the omnivorous diet maintained it, highlighting the importance of dietary variety.

Both twins concluded that the best diet blends plant-based and animal foods rather than choosing one extreme over the other.

The MASSIVE Radioactive Hot Spot Beneath Australia

Radioactive Hot Spot

Beneath central Australia lies one of the strangest geothermal anomalies on the continent: a massive region of unusually hot crust stretching from northeastern South Australia into western Queensland. In parts of this underground heat zone, temperatures at depths of around 4 to 5 kilometres can approach 250°C, despite there being no active volcano, obvious magma chamber or Yellowstone-style mantle plume beneath the Australian outback.

In this video, we explore the massive radioactive hot spot beneath Australia and investigate what is actually heating the continent from below. The answer appears to involve ancient Australian continental crust enriched in uranium, thorium and potassium, radioactive elements that have been producing radiogenic heat for more than a billion years. Huge episodes of Proterozoic felsic magmatism and crustal reworking concentrated these heat-producing elements into granites and other silica-rich rocks across parts of Australia.

The Hidden Harms of Modern Lighting and the Fight to Bring Back Incandescent Bulbs

The Human Visible Light Spectrum

One of my longstanding beliefs is that whenever a cheap and widely available therapy exists, the medical system is incentivized to bury it, as lucrative markets emerge once its benefits are no longer there. Natural light is one of the clearest examples of this. Despite over a century of research supporting it, a wide range of medical devices which work by putting specific wavelengths of light into the body (the most remarkable of which, ultraviolet blood irradiation, is discussed here https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-century-of-evidence-putting-light), and most importantly, people simply feeling better in natural light, its importance has been almost completely dismissed by the medical profession, and we have instead been subjected to ever increasing amounts of unhealthy light (often without any say in the matter).
