vsyu··on One cup of milk per day may increase rate of breast cancer up to 50%
Do you like the taste of non-sugared oat milk over almond, or is it mainly because of the health benefits?
vsyu··on One cup of milk per day may increase rate of breast cancer up to 50%
I'm not entirely surprised by this conclusion as there is a lot of research out there claiming that milk/dairy isn't healthy for us. I think almond milk is the best alternative.

Yeah, I had heard palm oil isn't the healthiest for you but didn't realize that it had so many environmental implications as well...
vsyu··on International Day of Women and Girls in Science
"Recent studies have found that women in STEM fields publish less, are paid less for their research, and do not progress as far as men in their careers"...I hope this continues to change. Would be curious to hear what others think needs to happen on a practical, day-to-day level in order to bring about this change. Also looking forward to celebrating International Women's Day on March 8th!

vsyu··on How to play with people who are better than you
Interesting take! I know a bunch of people who don't like to play games because they think it's stressful and put too much pressure on themselves to win, therefore games aren't "relaxing." But I always think playing with people who are better than you make you smarter even if you're losing. And though it all, at least you're still learning and bonding.
vsyu··on Dark Mode by Default – 95% of People Prefer Dark over Light Mode
I heard dark mode might not actually help in terms of being easier on the eyes?
vsyu··on What Happens to the Body on No Sleep
I think we often emphasize the importance of exercise and diet for healthy living which are definitely essential, but sleep should also be added to that list.
vsyu··on Facebook is testing hiding like counts to see if that makes people feel better
Seems ironic but would be curious to know the actual outcomes of the test. I guess we all agree to participate in their testing when you agree to the terms and sign up for an account.
