        I do not even know how that myth got started (never bothered to research).

        The Ag industry was one of the biggest opponents to the original implementation in the US around WW1 era.

            I was very much in favor of eliminating DST until I realized that's the part that I like best. It's non-DST that I dislike. I say let's stay at DST all year and let it stay light out later all the time!

              Most dietitians and doctors will tell you, a varied diet is key to being healthy. And seeing as they are actual qualified experts and not Instagram or blog-based advocates, you should be listening to them and not the latter.

                Agreed - I do like DST better than ST. Interesting that the article even expressed that.

                      Oreos have been having a lot of weird reactions lately with all of these new flavors. Cake batter had something like this occur too i think

                        Why, because it says to listen to doctors instead of bloggers? Makes sense to me. Bloggers are a large contributing factor to the expansion of dietary cyberchondria. People, in general, are idiots and they take internet articles way too seriously without checking into the person's qualifications.

                                Yes. A well know celebrity posted on her blog about the "health" benefits of vaginal steaming and why everyone should do it. Then a few weeks ago she commented on putting a Jade egg up there too.

                                    That one I heard about. I'm still unfamiliar with the former practice.

                                      Some advice for the pseudo-celiac crowd:

                                      http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/study-finds-link-between-glutenfree-diet-and-type-2-diabetes-risk/all/

                                      Sorry, had to stop reading this after

                                      Most dietitians and doctors will tell you, a varied diet is key to being healthy. And seeing as they are actual qualified experts and not Instagram or blog-based advocates, you should be listening to them and not the latter.

                                      Why, because it says to listen to doctors instead of bloggers? Makes sense to me. Bloggers are a large contributing factor to the expansion of dietary cyberchondria. People, in general, are idiots and they take internet articles way too seriously without checking into the person's qualifications.

                                      Isn't that why Vaginal steaming is a thing now?

                                      Is it????

                                      Yes. A well know celebrity posted on her blog about the "health" benefits of vaginal steaming and why everyone should do it. Then a few weeks ago she commented on putting a Jade egg up there too.

                                      Was it Jenny McCarthy? She's been off the deep end for a minute. But, depending on the celebrity, I'd probably watch the Jade egg treatment.

                                          I think that's right. She was in the Iron Man series.
