🚨 Warning About BochaSweet 🚨

I asked a simple health question about xylitol. Instead of a professional reply, I got:
❌ Hostility
❌ Political rants
❌ Told not to order again

I reached out to founder Jonathan Gentileβ€”no response.

Why so defensive? What are they hiding?

Companies’ use of Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) to address employees’ work shortcomings is on the rise. Despite the dread they evoke and their well-known flaws, PIPs will likely remain prevalent as companies embracing AI demand greater efficiency from their remaining human workforce.

Yes. Unfortunately, traditional medicine, including psychiatry hasn't evolved much over the last 50 years. I'm looking more, and more to functional and integrative medicine. Has your daughter had any genetic tests? Specifically, COMT, AHCY, and MTHFR? These can play a big role if mutated.

Welcome Tapering psychiatric drugs

I'm so sorry to hear that. My mantra when it comes to any healthcare professional's advice is, "trust but verify." Based on my own experience, we can usually find more in-depth information than they have. This is the most conservative approach I was able to find: www.survivingantidepressants.org

Mourning the Loss of Jimmy Carter

We mourn the passing of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States.

He was a great humanitarian whose signature achievements included the Israel-Egypt peace agreement, formalizing ties with China, and granting Panama ownership of the Panama Canal.

No recession! The bull market, which has entered its third year, has advanced more than 67% since it began on October 12, 2022. History suggests that this bull market has a good chance of celebrating its third anniversary if the U.S. economy continues to grow.

I am now completely off my psychiatric meds, and I experienced zero side effects doing it this way. It took much longer than what the psychiatrist recommended, but better safe than sorry, in my opinion.

My method involved ordering a highly precise milligram scale and opening my capsules up to customize my doses to precisely 10% lower than the previous dose and do that each month. This approach requires great care, precision, and math, but definitely more conservative than abrupt step-downs.

I self-tapered by reducing my dose 10% each month and monitoring my response. My psychiatrist was against this as she could only recommend tapering in the doses the medications came in, which, in my opinion, might have been too abrupt. She actually fought me on my more conservative approach.

πŸš€ Beam me up! Quantum teleportation just made Star Trek a reality. Scientists "transported" quantum info over 30 km of internet fiber optics during live traffic. This tech leap could build a quantum internetβ€”secure, sci-fi, and as futuristic as warp drive. The future is now! πŸ–– #QuantumTech

Based on reports from Science Alert, researchers have discovered that the human brain processes information at a surprisingly slow rate of just 10 bits per second, challenging our assumptions about cognitive speed and raising questions about the nature of human thought and perception.

Spot on, Sal. When the truth started coming out about the dangers of smoking, and the tobacco industry saw the handwriting on the wall, they decided to buy big food and apply the even more addictive tactics and engineering. Even better for them because you can quit smoking, but you can't quit eating

The FDA's updated "healthy" food label rules, effective February 25, 2025, emphasize nutrient-dense foods, limit added sugars, and align with dietary guidelines. Changes include stricter criteria, new qualifying foods, a projected health impact, and a voluntary "healthy" symbol for consumers.

The Magic Spell Hypothesis, supported by a recent MIT study, suggests that the complex and arcane language of legal documents, often likened to mystical incantations, is a deliberate stylistic choice designed to convey authority and special status rather than a necessity for clear communication.

We might have to pay more for our chocolate and coffee in future, as the price of cocoa has rocketed. Cocoa futures hit a record high of $11,925 per tonne, nearly tripling since the start of the year. It’s all down to the weather in West Africa, which accounts for more than 70% of world production.

NVDA is a BUY, in my opinion. I would look to buy on these dips. Several different analyses still show its undervalued with a 2025 price target at around$170.
