I think this is much needed, I've spent half a decade switching between solutions, and I agree with the problems you listed. I have recently found two apps with new solutions, Slash and Serene. I have not had the chance to try them out thoroughly yet, but they show some promise. What I would prefer is an app that draws inspiration from Franklin's way of journaling.

Pesticides in our food are likely one of the reason as to why we see a "pandemic-like" increase in Alzheimer's disease among our old [1]. It is not too far-fetched to think this could affect our young in various ways as well.

Yes, that is a possibility. There is also this fairly extensive meta-analysis over a period of 20 years, that finds a "consistent and strong association between the exposure to fluoride and low IQ". [1]

There is, in other words, an undeniable correlation. The more interesting question is -- are there any safe levels of exposure, and what are the effects over time?

Recent studies has shown that exposure to flouride (which is found in toothpaste), is correlated with lower IQ scores. That might be a contributing factor.

Seems interesting, similar to the app ColdTurkey. Been looking for something like this since reading Deep Work, will check it out.
