People in this thread are conflating sugar consumption and blood sugar levels.

When healthy people eat sugar, insulin is secreted and the blood sugar goes right back down. Overweight and obese people with time develop type-2 diabetes so they produce less insulin and due to excess fat around cells, their muscles don't respond as well to insulin anymore and can't take up glucose from the blood. That causes spikes in blood sugar and elevated levels throughout the day.

The answer to blood sugar control is being lean, and you can get lean by eating less fat. The clue is in the name, really.


Related, website I came across the other day with free resources on many math topics: https://realnotcomplex.com/

Includes books, lecture notes and videos.


Google tells me that Americans consume on average 3.5g of salt, while the recommended intake is 2.3g. Quite some room there to decrease salt consumption.


Have you ever looked into histamine intolerance?


Seconding this. Low histamine diet has been a game changer, combined with fasting to give my gut a break.


I'm biased towards more practical books but here you go

- Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Kleppmann - not in your circle of interest necessarily but not in your circle of non-interest either.

- Introduction to the Design & Analysis of Algorithms by Levitin - not very popular but a great book. Interestingly, it groups algorithms around design techniques e.g. decrease-and-conquer, divide-and-conquer, greedy, DP.

- Algorithms by Sedgewick and Wayne - great algorithms book if your main programming language is Java, I keep coming back to it.


> Interestingly, .NET 6 implementation of the hash table keeps the items in the (rough) order of addition. To prevent potential correlation attempts, the hashed data is sorted before storing, effectively randomising the order of elements.

Can someone please explain how would correlation attacks be executed in this context?


Holy shit, this is very similar to what my mom went through.

One day she heard a very loud bang that she described as sounding like it was coming from inside her head. Shortly after she started getting dizzy spells, specially when getting up in the morning and when lying down to sleep at night. Every once in a while her left arm would go numb and she would lose strength in it.

She went to many doctors and it was the same story, they thought it was vertigo. Thankfully she found a better one who requested a brain CT scan which showed that she actually had had a mild ischemic stroke on the right side of her brain.

Hope you are feeling better now, take care!


Did you try going clean non-vegan before that?
