No doubt his US Naval Academy/Deleware football fantasy will now include being drafted by the Chiefs, but turning it down so he could defend poor blacks/Puerto Ricans.
“ And I’m wondering why they might be taking such a cautious approach…”
Increased replacement costs and a fear that their investments, particularly stocks and bonds, either won’t grow fast enough or even go down. Just trimming risky behavior.
I like VDH, but this is wishful thinking on his part, or he left out the part about the political and real fight that comes between now and his future.
“ However when concentrated as high fructose corn syrup, it’s a major glycemic slug, and demands more from your pancreas (to control blood “sugar”) than natural foods typically do.”
From Wiki:
“ Studies show the greatest absorption rate occurs when glucose and fructose are administered in equal quantities.[45] When fructose is ingested as part of the disaccharide sucrose, absorption capacity is much higher because fructose exists in a 1:1 ratio with glucose.”
…
“ Fructose and galactose are phosphorylated in the liver by fructokinase (Km= 0.5 mM) and galactokinase (Km = 0.8 mM), respectively. By contrast, glucose tends to pass through the liver (Km of hepatic glucokinase = 10 mM) and can be metabolised anywhere in the body. Uptake of fructose by the liver is not regulated by insulin.”
…
“ Fructose was found to increase triglycerides in type-2 but not type-1 diabetes and moderate use of it has previously been considered acceptable as a sweetener for diabetics,[61] possibly because it does not trigger the production of insulin by pancreatic β cells.”
“Now we worked and we suffered and struggled
Makin’ our record till we got it right
Now we’re waiting on the check to come sneaking down the hall
Like that old time feeling
That we never should have ever put the record out at all
That the answer my friend is just pissin’ in the wind
The answer is pissin’ in the Seine”
