Neal Town Stephenson (born October 31, 1959) is an American writer known for his works of speculative fiction. His novels have been categorized as science fiction, historical fiction, cyberpunk, postcyberpunk, and baroque. Stephenson's work explores mathematics, cryptography, linguistics, philosophy, currency, and the history of science. He also writes non-fiction articles about technology in publications such as Wired. He has written novels with his uncle, George Jewsbury ("J.

I'm treating the question more like in the Plague Inc. spirit

The uncertainty surrounding some medical conditions is much worse than a death toll. People spending their time in a ward, confused and irritated, seeing people come and go, as the months pass.

The doctors are themselves confused about the whole thing, they've tried different procedures, and are now experimenting

Whatever explanation they give the patient is not enough, and anyway will sound like a bunch of fancy words that evidently haven't amounted to anything

@ShadowTheKidWizard That's enough. I'll have some fruit at 3PM, then dinner at around 5/5:30, and another piece of fruit at around 8PM if I feel like it.

@ShadowTheKidWizard Yeah, that it is :)

It's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispbread, but square. Whole wheat.

Cheaper than bread at the moment :)

Also doesn't go stale :P

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell well your stomach is smaller than my own, I also have two more pizza slices ready to be eaten, probably in couple of hours. :D

@JourneymanGeek meh, I'll take from @M.A.R some extra veins. :D

I'm sure he's kind enough to give me.

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowTheKidWizard XD. I'm not on a diet, unless you want to call a version of the famous Dutch HMV diet. This is simply the kind of stuff you need to do for the rest of your life.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell heh, I don't trust this whole "whole wheat" trend, think it's just a way to charge more for the same thing. lol

Tinkeringbell

11:38 AM

@ShadowTheKidWizard It's not, at least not over here. There are pretty good rules on what can/can't be called whole wheat.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell hopefully they're also enforced. ;)

Tinkeringbell

Should be, there's a government thingy for it.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Well @M.A.R is our local food expert, so @M.A.R do you really think whole wheat is more healthy than ordinary wheat? :D

Tinkeringbell

@ShadowTheKidWizard That's... not how whole-wheat works XD

There's different kinds of flours, some are made from the whole grain, these are called 'whole-wheat'.

Unlike the flour they use for e.g. white bread, which is made with flour "from which the bran and the germ layers have been removed from the whole wheatberry as part of the flour grinding or milling process, producing a light-colored flour." (wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_bread)

You can have bread baked of whole-grain flour (volkoren, in Dutch), of 'white-bread' flour (witbrood, in Dutch) or you get a mixture of whole-grain/white-bread flour, in which case the bread is called 'bruin' or 'tarwebrood' in Dutch.

In that case, whole-grain/whole-wheat is always the most healthy choice.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

12:26 PM

Well, I know one thing for a fact... the more healthy a food is, the less tasty it is. :D

Though... I was in a vegan restaurant recently (in Israel) and there were tasty dishes. So I suspect it's not as healthy as they claim. ;)

M.A.R.

@ShadowTheKidWizard I'm not a charity

Tinkeringbell

Eh, depends. I think whole-grain bread has more taste than white bread.

M.A.R.

With bread, what you enjoy or might get yourself to enjoy matters just as much as health advice

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. I don't listen to health advices, or to advices in general. :D

@Tinkeringbell no doubt it has more taste; But it's worse taste, IMO. :)

balpha

@ShadowTheKidWizard what's the deal with digging up six-year-old messages to reply to? 😂

M.A.R.

Bread made from whole grains is supposed to be more filling, and certainly has a lot of good nutrients, but you should remember that when it comes to food, you're looking at marginal benefits that might or might not make some difference in the future. Your carb to protein to fat ratio in your food matters much more than whole- vs. white-bread or mixes

Tinkeringbell

@M.A.R. Does not... If your breakfast and lunch are both mainly bread, you need to pick something that's not white.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

12:32 PM

@balpha hello! Just my way to bring people I didn't see here for a while. :P

@M.A.R. not all of us are furry cats.

balpha

covid forced me to pick up a new skill 😄

M.A.R.

@Tinkeringbell theoretically, yes. Lower "glycemic index" in more complicated sugars will theoretically cause a smaller spike in your blood sugar after a meal, independent of the amount of calories consumed.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@balpha I just had my hair long and wild during covid, people didn't complain. :D

balpha

what are these "people" things you speak of?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

What team are you part of these days in SE, @balpha? Still the same?

Tinkeringbell

12:35 PM

@M.A.R. Sure, but again, if both breakfast and lunch are mainly carbs (bread or any wheat thing = mostly carbs), whole grain has a lot less carbs than white ones, so for the balance you pick the whole grain too.

M.A.R.

The spike in blood sugar levels is postulated to be unhealthy: It's what causes hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance and various metabolic disorders and all that unpleasantness

BUT

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@balpha any human being who see me in person. ;)

M.A.R.

And this is a big BUT

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. missing a "T"?

M.A.R.

You need to be able to confirm all of this in a study with a large sample. No research team will monitor thousands of people for decades and be able to account for all the 'confounding variables'

Shadow The Kid Wizard

12:37 PM

@M.A.R. TL;DR?

Tinkeringbell

Oh well, then discard the blood sugar thing.

At the very least you need to make healthy choices which means picking the kind with much less carbs, and with a lot more fibers so you can properly poop.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Pretty sure people can properly poop even without fibers. :D

M.A.R.

@ShadowTheKidWizard You can theorize all day about the health benefits of a food, drug, herbal product etc. Even if they're super valid awesome theories, you need to actually observe those changes in a well-designed experiment

@Tinkeringbell of course

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@M.A.R. problem is the food companies are doing that research, usually, so the results are pretty much useless and biased. No?

I mean, it's trivial the company will come up with the result that its food is super healthy.

M.A.R.

I'm saying the strength of the evidence for or against a certain drug or foood regimen matters a lot, and is not given enough credit. People see a study from some schmuck (myself among schmucks) and take it as proven beyond doubt

Shadow The Kid Wizard

12:41 PM

@M.A.R. I take your words as sacred truth

M.A.R.

@ShadowTheKidWizard the barrier to that is peer review. You're touching on a complex issue that I can't be bothered to explore in detail, but oftentimes this conflict of interest is not a strong barrier to truth, but rather our own flawed interpretation of results

No doubt snake oil salesmen exploit our lack of subtlety in responsibly interpreting the results of an experiment, and unethical scientists don't mind when their limited results are taken to prove much more than they really do

@Tinkeringbell BTW honey has none of the health benefits people often claim it has. There is 'medical-grade' honey (free of any bacterial endospores or fungal spores) that's used in some wound dressings for burns, but that's mostly just it

Tinkeringbell

I think if you're going for something as sugary as honey... yeah. Don't bother with health benefits.

M.A.R.

It might theoretically be antiinflammatory or antibacterial or or or, but not to a very appreciable extent. Not proven at least

Tinkeringbell

Eh, there is some research showing up on google scholar about the benefits of honey/sugar for wound dressings... So why 'not proven'?

M.A.R.

@Tinkeringbell yes, it's used in some wound dressings (AFAIK proven beneficial only in burns for now) but I was talking about alternative medicine claims about how a chronic honey user becomes a superhero(ine)

Ah. Yeah, probably the only thing you gain from it is fat.
