kimmik··on Omega-3s: Are “Brain-Boosting” Effects Scientifically Backed?
Immune system isn’t just too much or too little. Can’t simplify it to that. People with autoimmunity are also immunesuppressed at baseline.
kimmik··on Omega-3s: Are “Brain-Boosting” Effects Scientifically Backed?
What was in that multivitamin you took? Interesting anecdote but I worry you are throwing the baby out.
kimmik··on Hydrochloric acid is more complicated than you think
Low pH is needed for pepsin to work. Also to kill some pathogens. Doesn’t affect nutritional components of ingestion eg amino acids, vitamins and lipids.
kimmik··on Is America Stealing TSMC?
In 20 years when tsmc has effectively transferred to america, taiwan will stop being contested and go the way of other chinese islands like hk. This is the logical solution to the us-china cold war.

The cell membrane potential and voltage gated ion channels sound exactly like semiconductor to me…
kimmik··on Reversing Lens-Induced Myopia (2018)
Having loved photography since an early age I have always been hyper observant about my own visual mechanics, and to preserve my 25/20 acuity.

At worst in my late teens my prescription was -1.25, at which point I started wearing glasses only for distance vision, never for reading and computer work. I am certain this diligent habit stopped the myopia progressing. Now that I’m 10 years out of uni my prescription has reversed to -0.25. I don’t wear distance glasses anymore and am careful with computer positioning to minimise eye strain. Hope my 25/20 lasts!
