Reply to comment by djohnsen in Researchers Show Optical Fiber Communication Cables Can Warn Against Earthquakes by HeinieKaboobler
its some variant of distributed acoustic sensing. Basically strain within the fiber causes a phase shift in the light scattered along the cable.

Reply to Vegan diets benefit health, but only if they're healthy. Study found a healthy vegan diet was linked to lower risk of heart disease, cancer and premature death, compared with non-vegan diets. N=125,000 by MistWeaver80
Observational study shows positive association between eating healthy vegan food and health and negative association between unhealthy vegan food and health. The authors of the study then suggest that a healthy vegan diet may be healthy and good for the planet.
The study is not about whether animal products contribute to health.

I am disappointed that the article doesn’t discuss what changes in the fiber might be occurring that are measurable.
My simple-minded interpretation is “when the fiber breaks; you know there was a severe quake.”
I rather hope it is something more interesting; like phase shift in the transmitted wavelengths or another kind of subtle effect that is measurable without being a problem for data transmission.

search 'healthy user bias' - that's all this is. epidemiology is very weak evidence of anything

Reply to comment by orangutanoz in Research found weight loss was associated with decreased risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes for at least five years — even if some weight was regained, according to a review of research on behavioral weight loss programs by Wagamaga
You have most likely gone from a food addiction to a work-out addiction without proper instruction as to how to do it safely. Excess weight plus vigorous movement puts strain on weak bones(ankles).
Diet interventions are more effective for losing weight.

Please read my comment again. I didn’t say you can “be healthy at 400 pounds,” I said you can be 400 and engage in healthy behaviors: like eating better, working out, etc. And even if you don’t lose 200 pounds, your health will probably improve. It’s not too far from that the study in this link is showing.

You're thinking of speculators. Investors are those who invest in businesses for the long term, not trying to make a quick buck.

No. Yes.
"Weight Inclusivity: Accept and respect the inherent diversity of body shapes and sizes and reject the idealizing or pathologizing of specific weights."
This is anti-science. The available data indicates that obesity raises risks of most diseases.
"Health Enhancement: Support health policies that improve and equalize access to information and services, and personal practices that improve human well-being, including attention to individual physical, economic, social, spiritual, emotional, and other needs."
But they want to suppress information regarding how much a healthy person should weigh.
"Respectful Care: Acknowledge our biases, and work to end weight discrimination, weight stigma, and weight bias. Provide information and services from an understanding that socio-economic status, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, and other identities impact weight stigma, and support environments that address these inequities."
There is certainly a weight stigma, just like there is a smoking stigma and a concussion stigma. None of these preventable factors promote health.
"Eating for Well-being: Promote flexible, individualized eating based on hunger, satiety, nutritional needs, and pleasure, rather than any externally regulated eating plan focused on weight control."
Hunger is a a horrible metric for healthy eating since obese people are hungrier than a healthy person. This is partly why people without discipline find it so difficult to lose weight. "But I was hungry".
"Life-Enhancing Movement: Support physical activities that allow people of all sizes, abilities, and interests to engage in enjoyable movement, to the degree that they choose.”
This is cool. but the biggest intervention regarding weight loss is dietary. You can always eat more calories than you burn.

>But everyone is different and everyone’s issues with food are different. Some people thrive on being bullied and proving people wrong, some people are very very hurt by that and it has the opposite effect. Health at every size provides a more gentle and holistic approach to working towards a healthier body. No matter what size that body is.
While telling people anti-science like"you can be healthy at 400 pounds". We know this isn't true. All other factors being equal, being obese raises the risk of heart disease by 28%.

It also does not help that obesity increases the risk of other issues like: Diabetes, Cancer and Arthritis.

Apparently I have a faulty esophageal sphincter that opens very easily from the air pressure of the CPAP. And I couldn’t pass the air through farting/burping it out. I was able to burp it out by drinking a coke, but it was very painful and after it happened a few times I decided it wasn’t worth it and I tried to find alternative solutions.
