Become really healthy, take up both yoga and urine therapy!

The whole George Orwell story is a rabbit hole in itself, but this quote sums things up very well. That is pretty much an exact description of about 90% of my Facebook feed.

 

 

So just what does my Facebook avatar mean? I originally chose it to signify that I was going to post lots of lolpics, but it also has links to 90's club music, and I've been listening to lots of that while painting the house this week so it's extra appropriate at the moment!

This would be about 90% of the population...

I used to be a big fan of the Tour de France but these days it has become a complete numptyfest - here is one of this year's favourites, Jonas Vingegaard wearing a face nappy - that is the final straw!




There is nothing quite as glorious as a nice selfie!





Apparently the shape of earth is really geoid - so that would mean the flattards and the globetards are all retarded! I like that idea...

They are really not trying very hard to hide this are they?

FROM COOL TO BALLS

This is probably going to sound like an advert, but don't hate me, I'm not sponsored by Logitech! I have just bought a Bluetooth speaker.

My new speaker looks like a small blue ball. It's called a Wonderboom 4 and I bought it to play random MP3's from a playlist of 500 tracks I've now loaded onto my cell phone.

Make no mistake, for over 25 years I've been saying cell phones suck, and refusing to even use one. I can honestly say, this is the first time I've ever had the thought "Maybe those mind control devices can be useful". But they do seem to be quite decent MP3 players.

I suspect 90% of my half dozen regular readers will now start wondering if I'm Amish or something, but back in 2002 I made a conscious decision to avoid using phones and have never previously used one for playing music.

I've switched to the dark side because I'm currently painting the house and having some music pumping out from a portable sound system comprising of just a small indestructible speaker and an old cell phone, is the perfect technology for the job.

I borrowed one of these trendy little Boom speakers and tried it out before buying one myself. I was initially fairly skeptical because I thought a speaker that small would be a gutless little toy with a tinny sound and a lame bass output.

But after hearing one I had to eat my words, it's actually a grunty little bugger with a surprising impressive sound. In fact it really can kick some arse, and I've been rocking out to some 90's house music in the back garden.

 It's tough as well, both shockproof and waterproof. I've rapidly warmed to it and now I think my new stereo, which is actually only a mono, is really pretty cool. And it also runs for 13 hours on a charge, which is better than my power tools.

Initially I planned to treat it like a power tool, and if it got paint and dirt on it, too bad, but I must admit after deciding I quite like it, now I'm keeping it in a zip lock bag while painting so it doesn't get all abused looking.

I'm not very happy about radiating myself with Bluetooth EMF's, but for a work tool, not having an audio cable is actually really handy. 

And then I got to reminiscing. Back in the 80's everyone aspired to own a huge and expensive high tech stereo. I still have mine, and every once in a while I get out my record of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and listen to sonic perfection through my Rega Planar turntable, Yamaha amp, and a pair of Kenwwod speakers the size of small refrigerators.

Back in the day, music equipment was big, impressive, and stylish. These days I'm using a set up that looks more like a Nee Doh ball in a plastic bag, sitting next to a cell phone. 

So I've "downgraded" from two 160W 3-way speakers (each with a tweeter, a squawker, and a woofer) to one 10W speaker that is smaller than one of my old tweeters!

 While it's cheap, efficient, and bomb proof, I don't quite know what to make of all this modernist minimalism. Is modern life rubbish or is this progress?

SUGAR DESTROYS TEETH

 This excellent article by Joachim Bartoll emphasises that eating sugars and carbohydrates leads to tooth decay. 

Although that is blindingly obvious, the so called "experts" needed to do 37 studies to reach a conclusion. If they were doing studies to show the dangers of vaccinations it would probably only take them about half a dozen to show that vaccines are "safe & effective"

 37 Studies Later: Sugar Still Destroys Teeth, and Modern Nutrition Science Still Pretends This Is Complicated - By Joachim Bartoll July 8, 2026

 

A new systematic review of 37 studies has concluded what any functioning adult should have figured out by the age of twelve. Higher sugar consumption, whether measured by amount or frequency, is strongly linked to more dental cavities. 

The researchers found that eating or drinking sugary foods or beverages once or more per day produced the most consistent damage. Thirty-two of the thirty-seven studies confirmed this relationship.

This is the kind of research that makes you wonder why the field even exists anymore.

The Obvious Fact That Required 37 Studies to Confirm

Tooth decay is not a mysterious disease that requires complex statistical modeling to understand. When you put sugar in your mouth, bacteria that naturally live on your teeth ferment it into acid. 

That acid dissolves the enamel. The more often you feed those bacteria, and the more sugar you give them, the more acid attacks your teeth receive. This is basic microbiology and chemistry, not advanced science.

Yet here we are, in 2026, with researchers still publishing systematic reviews to confirm that sugar damages teeth. The fact that this even needs to be studied at this level reveals how corrupted and disconnected modern nutrition science has become. 

Instead of stating the obvious and moving on to real solutions, the field keeps producing papers that dance around the truth while protecting the carbohydrate-based food system that created the problem in the first place.

What the Review Actually Found

The researchers looked at 37 studies examining the relationship between sugar intake and dental caries. In 32 of those studies, higher sugar consumption, whether by total amount or by how often it was consumed, was clearly associated with more cavities. 

The strongest and most consistent link appeared when people consumed sugary foods or drinks at least once per day.

This matches what we already know from basic physiology. Every time sugar touches the teeth, acid-producing bacteria get a meal. The more frequent the meals, the more frequent the acid attacks. There is nothing surprising here.

What is surprising is that anyone still pretends this relationship is complicated or that we need dozens of studies to establish something this straightforward.

The Real Mechanism: How Carbohydrates Destroy Teeth

Sugars and starches are both carbohydrates. When you consume them, oral bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans convert them into lactic acid and other organic acids. 

These acids lower the pH in the mouth and begin demineralizing the enamel. This is not a theory. It is observable chemistry that happens inside every human mouth that contains carbohydrates.

The damage is not limited to the teeth. Carbohydrates that escape digestion feed bacteria throughout the digestive tract, contributing to systemic inflammation and microbiome disruption. 

The same compounds that rot teeth from the outside also create advanced glycation end-products inside the body, damaging proteins, blood vessels, and organs over time. 

Tooth decay is simply the most visible and immediate consequence of feeding the body something it was never designed to handle in any significant quantities.

Why Modern Nutrition Science Keeps Studying the Bleeding Obvious

The nutrition science establishment has a strong incentive to keep studying the effects of sugar rather than recommending its removal. 

Admitting that carbohydrates are the fundamental problem would require dismantling decades of dietary guidelines, Big Ag and food industry partnerships, and academic careers built on the idea that “moderation” and “balance” are solutions. 

It is far safer and more profitable to publish another review showing that “sugar” is bad without saying that the effect is the same with any form of carbohydrate source, and then pivot to selling supplements or fortified foods that supposedly mitigate the damage.

This is the same pattern we see across the entire field. Instead of telling people to stop consuming the toxic and damaging substances that cause disease, researchers and organizations produce endless studies that document the harm while carefully avoiding the obvious conclusion. 

The result is a population that remains confused, continues eating carbohydrates, and then gets funneled into pharmaceutical and supplement solutions that treat symptoms rather than remove the cause.

The Only Logical Solution

If carbohydrates damage teeth through acid production and bacterial overgrowth, the solution is not better toothpaste, more poisonous fluoride, or synthetic useless supplements. 

The solution is to stop feeding the bacteria what they need to produce acid. Removing all carbohydrates from the diet eliminates the fuel source for both oral bacteria and the broader metabolic damage they contribute to. 

Remember, humans are hypercarnivores and we are not physically constructed for carbohydrate or any kind of plant-based consumption. Consuming anything that is not species-appropriate will cause damage and shorten our health- and life-spans.

On our species-appropriate, species-specific hypercarnivore diet, there are no sugars or starches to ferment in the mouth. 

The oral microbiome shifts away from acid-producing species toward one that is compatible with animal foods. 

Tooth decay rates drop dramatically, immediately to near zero, without any special dental interventions. 

This is not a theory. It is what happens when humans return to the diet their physiology evolved to run on. There is nothing in meat or organ meats that can damage the teeth, only the opposite.

The same principle applies to the rest of the body. Carbohydrates create glycation, severe tissue damage, and microbiome disruption throughout the system. 

Removing them allows the body to repair itself instead of constantly fighting damage caused by inappropriate food.


The Real Problem Is Not a Lack of Studies

We do not need more research to understand that sugar destroys teeth. We need the courage to state the obvious and stop protecting an industry that profits from keeping people sick and confused. 

Thirty-seven studies were not required to reach this conclusion. One functioning brain and basic observation would have been enough.

The solution has always been the same: stop consuming the substances that damage the body. Everything else is noise designed to sell products and maintain the status quo.

 Milly ALLCOCK is "supergirl" - And he has had a very bad month at the box office! 😂 I wonder why that could be?  

 

 
The loss on Supergirl is projected to be around US$250 million. It's not as if this is any way surprising, so what are these film studios up to? 

Are they really just unable or unwilling to produce movies their customers actually want to see, or do they have deeper and more evil reasons for wanting to continually make these huge losses?
