One example; the messaging was: "We are ending the war on protein!".
Like there are not shelves stacked with products marketing "EXTRA PROTEIN".
Why is everything your administration does SO INCREDIBLY STUPID?

If you want to stay healthy, listen to specialists.
Do not listen to your administration, because they DON'T listen to specialists.
Your administration listens to lobbyists and people with brain-worms (literal or figurative).

The milk and meat lobby has significantly delayed and distorted public understanding
of the health risks of animal-product consumption, contributing to preventable disease.

What you don't see in our everyday life here in the US is just how sissified and weak Americans are becoming from these so called healthy diets.
Men can't even work anymore, they don't have the strength to lift things, they depend on machines, they can't think because their brains are malnourished. We need carbs and protein in our diets to get our humans back up to a level they can function. Weak people means weak country.

I stay away from protein, if you haven’t heard, protein has a lot of lead in it, yes, protein shakes, protein powder, protein bars. It’s becoming concerning how much lead that is in these products. All protein powders have alarming amounts of lead, and I used to drink my protein shakes several times a week not knowing how much lead I was consuming. I stopped taking all protein. A lot of the powders that are being sold off the shelves have over 125% over the recommended daily allowance. How is the fda allowing this.
By phart [Ignore] 21,Jan,26 14:36 other posts 
Oof, I wonder how it gets in there?
By Cody8789 [Ignore] 21,Jan,26 17:50 other posts 
Lead gets into proteins, especially plant-based powders, by being absorbed from contaminated soil, water, and industrial pollution as plants grow; it can also enter dairy proteins if cows consume contaminated feed, with the metal accumulating in plant tissues like roots and then concentrating during powder processing, leading to significant levels in supplements. It can bind to specific proteins in the body, disrupting vital functions like DNA repair and heme production, but it primarily enters the food chain through environmental contamination.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 22,Jan,26 11:52 other posts 
That's what we got EU-regulations for. However, the maximum allowed lead content for food is much lower than for food supplements. If protein powder is considered
a food supplement, it would possibly be risky to use that in large quantities.
Products like protein bars and protein shakes are considered food in the EU,
not food supplements, so they should be safe.

I think the whole protein hype is nonsense. Our consumer information program "Keuringsdienst van waarde" (Inspection service of value) researched it and they conclude that almost everyone gets enough protein in their food. Only top athletes might benefit from same extra.

I used to work out with weights and took a lot of protein and creatine but not anymore
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 23,Jan,26 06:24 other posts 
Did you research the sources of the protein in the supplement?
And did you check that they contained all essential amino acids?

Often it's just whey protein, a byproduct of cheese-making, which they had
lots of trouble selling, until they marketed the shit out of protein products.

The body can create creatine itself, but they say it helps produce energy for short, intense bursts of activity. Think of it as a rapid fuel reserve for your muscles and brain. If you work out vigorously, I can imagine it would help.
By Cody8789 [Ignore] 23,Jan,26 18:37 other posts 
That’s not how creatine works, let me explain, when taking a good creatine product you must check the glucose amount, if under 75 grams, the product is a waste of money, the more expensive creatinine has at least 75 grams of glucose in them because for them to work properly it must be able to create an insulin spike in your body for the stored creatinine to absorb into your muscles to repair them faster, so what I’m saying is when you inject creatine the only way to get it into repairing and making stronger muscles needs a spike of 75 grams or it doesn’t work and your wasting your money on a product that doesn’t do anything for you.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 24,Jan,26 09:23 other posts 
ChatGPT didn't agree with you. Take it for what it's worth, which is not a lot, because you're not taking it anymore:

Short answer: **No — that explanation is largely false and mixes a few half-truths with outright misinformation.** Let’s unpack it cleanly.

---
## What’s wrong in that statement

### 1. **Creatine does NOT require 75 g of glucose to work**
* Creatine uptake into muscle is **not dependent on a massive insulin spike**.
* Insulin can *slightly* enhance creatine transport, but **normal meals already provide enough insulin**.
* Research shows creatine works perfectly well **with water alone**.

👉 You do **not** need 75 g of glucose (that’s ~300 calories of sugar) for creatine to be effective.

---
### 2. **More expensive creatine ≠ better creatine**
* The gold standard is **creatine monohydrate**.
* It’s cheap, stable, and extremely well-researched.
* Added glucose does **not** make it higher quality — it just makes it a carb supplement plus creatine.

If anything, “expensive creatine with tons of sugar” is often **marketing fluff**.

---
### 3. **Creatine is NOT injected**
This is a big red flag.
* Creatine is taken **orally** (powder, capsule).
* There is **no standard or legitimate practice of injecting creatine**.
* The body absorbs creatine through the gut → bloodstream → muscles.

If someone says “inject creatine,” they either misspoke badly or don’t understand the topic.

---
### 4. **Creatine doesn’t directly “repair muscles”**
Creatine:
* Increases **phosphocreatine stores**
* Improves **short-burst power output**
* Allows **more reps, heavier loads**
* Indirectly supports muscle growth by improving training quality

It does **not** directly repair muscle tissue like protein or calories do.

---
### 5. **Insulin spikes that big are unnecessary and often counterproductive**
* 75 g of glucose daily just for creatine can:
* Add unnecessary fat
* Spike blood sugar
* Be harmful for insulin sensitivity (especially long-term)

Top athletes absolutely do **not** rely on sugar bombs just to make creatine work.

---
## What’s actually true (the real science)
✅ Creatine monohydrate works on its own
✅ Taking it with meals is sufficient
✅ Insulin *can* help uptake slightly, but normal eating covers this
✅ No glucose minimum exists
✅ No injection required
✅ Cheap creatine is just as effective

---
## Bottom line
That explanation is **scientifically incorrect** and includes:
* A fake glucose requirement
* A misunderstanding of insulin
* A false claim about injection
* Confusion about muscle repair

cally designed to cause a significant, measurable spike in blood sugar and a corresponding surge in insulin, often used to diagnose diabetes or insulin resistance. This amount is typically given as a liquid drink, causing a faster, more intense spike than a similar amount of carbohydrates eaten in solid food.

Yes, consuming 75 grams of glucose is a standardized, high-carbohydrate load specifically designed to cause a significant, measurable spike in blood sugar and a corresponding surge in insulin, often used to diagnose diabetes or insulin resistance.

In this case, I indeed didn't know anything.
Like I said, I just asked ChatGPT.
By Lookatmine2 [Ignore] 31,Jan,26 01:06 other posts 
The thing about artificial intelligence is this: garbage in, garbage out. An AI is only as smart, and as correct, as the person or persons who created the software.

Stop letting a machine do it, and think for yourself. There are far better and more reliable sources of info than a software written by individuals with personal prejudices and agendas.
By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 31,Jan,26 09:44 other posts 
Yes, that's true. However, ChatGPT has ALL the sources, mine AND yours,
and it uses algorithms to figure out logical connections between ALL that data.
Are you doing that?

This was one time that I didn't have a clue about the truth of this, and I didn't care to learn, because it has no use for me. That's when I just ask ChatGPT.
I didn't even read most of it, just formatted it, AND I CLEARLY SAID THAT.

I mostly use ChatGPT as a factchecker. If ChatGPT is incorrect, I know enough to know that, on most subjects that we are taling about, because
I get news from many sources. When I ask ChatGPT something I care about,
I always ask it for it's sources and confirm what it answered.

So, how do you do it? Do you ask Google or some other search engine for links to information? Do you admit that all those search engines can have the exact same problem of being programmed by individuals with prejudices and agendas?

If you are finding information with a search engine, you are reading ONE source that can be completely biased. If you are finding information with AI,
it is usually based on multiple sources. That can be more accurate, but it can also be completely wrong. It all depends on your own knowledge and critical thinking skills to separate the lies and nonsense from the truth.

Grok is written by individuals with personal prejudices and agendas, ChatGPT is NOT, or a least FAR LESS. There is clear evidence that Elon Musk himself is involved in manipulating Grok, but that is exactly why people on your side favor it over AI's from more neutral organized companies.

By the way; if you think that AI is such a threat to the truth, why do you not BERATE Trump, for letting the techbros fill your country with AI datacenters and Trump wanting to forbid ALL regulation that would prevent them from destroying the truth for ever? Do you like being lied to?

I want strict regulation to make sure that no one can use fake pictures or video for propaganda, with heavy penalties if they do. The Trump regime just changed a photo of civil rights attorney and activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, to make it look like she was crying, while she was not. I consider that a crime. I DON'T like being lied to.
Healthy diets don't make anyone sissified and weak.
You're making a "Correlation–causation fallacy".
You are correct in thinking that sissy/weak men care about their health more,
but you are reversing the logic. It's not the healthy food that made them sissy/weak,
it's being sissy/weak that makes men care about their health.
Together with the manly culture of meat and BBQ, that makes you relate unhealthy food with "real men" and healthy food with "sissy/weak" men. That's irrational thinking.

Understand that there is lots of marketing behind the idea of manly men. They advertise it with a big hairy man, on his ranch, cutting up a dead animal, putting it on the grill, in a leather apron, covered in smoke, drinking beer, with his mates. And for a while, that's all a lot of fun, good eating, good times. But if that makes you eat unhealthy everyday, you end up fat, out of breath, with diminished heart function from blocked arteries, elevated cholesterol and hypertension, requiring medication with side-effects, possibly turning diabetic, and all medical bills associated with it. It was all very manly for a while, but it can turn that big burly man into a weakling, who cannot do his job anymore and probably dies before his retirement.
Is it manly, when he leaves his wife without his income and lots of medical debt?

Studies show that top athletes perform much better on a fully plant based diet, than on meat, even high quality unprocessed meat that is considered healthy. It takes more effort to balance a plant based diet, to compensate for some deficiencies (only Vitamin B12 cannot be compensated without supplements), but then it provides the body with a much more complete source of nutrients. It opens up all the arteries to utilize the full power of the heart, which make top athletes perform their best.

Actually that manly American food culture turns people malnourished.
All those jiggly asses you see walking around are STARVING for vitamins (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Carotenoids), minerals (Potassium, Magnesium), fiber, anti-oxidants, healthy fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, prebiotics & gut-supporting compounds. They're not strong and tough, they're dying.

Of course, I'm not turning this knowledge into full practice. I still eat meat (but a bit less), because I like it. A long healthy life is not worth a lot, if you need to suffer every day to achieve it. I have no interest in sports, I just don't want to suffer illness and die young. That requires a healthIER diet and some exercise. That's not much of a sacrifice. A well-balanced diet is much more interesting than only hamburgers and steaks. I like variety and eating food from all over the world. Especially Asian countries have developed a diet that is both healthy and great in taste and variety.

“Variety’s the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavour.” — William Cowper

Why is that 'ironic'? Polls show that around 25–27% Brits are in favour

By Ananas2xLekker [Ignore] 19,Jan,26 06:58 other posts 
Nope, Leo has rational reasons to be angry, about your refusal to be rational.

The term irritable male syndrome (IMS) is used in scientific and popular texts to describe a pattern of irritability and mood changes linked to hormonal fluctuations in males. However, it is not an officially recognized medical diagnosis in major clinical classifications like the DSM-5 or ICD-11; it remains a descriptive concept rather than a standardized clinical condition.

I would say that irritable male syndrome is the clearest reason for the existence of MAGA that I ever heard. The whole movement is based on primitive gut feelings, that things in the US are not going well, without any rational thinking about the reasons for why things in the US are not going well. If you look at MAGA crowds, it's clear that ALL these men have some form of hormonal imbalance. Either they are testosteron bombs who are frustrated for women not being interested in them, or they are middle-aged men in their penopause.

The exchange rate doesn’t apply. What you have to use as the measurement is how many hours of work does it take to buy a loaf of bread by comparable workers at both cities.
Are you supporting Russian economic politics over Democrats?
Which relevant economic principle, that you have ever advocated for,
is championed by Russian politics and opposed by Democrats?
And how is that affecting rent prices for working class people?

In one post you are praising Russians for keeping rent low (which is nonsense,
if you consider their spending power) and in the other post you are accusing Democrats of trying to make America in Russia.
What is it?
New York is PRIME REAL ESTATE. Every square foot is fought over by rich people working in Wall Street and real estate speculators, who drive the prices up to ridiculous heights. These are CAPITALIST excesses. The failure of New York Democrats is that they were corporate centrists, who allowed that capitalism to drive out working class citizens from their own city, because they couldn't afford it anymore.

Still, those Democrats did some things to keep rent prices from not escalating to even more ridiculous levels. Do you think that Republicans would have done anything?
Of course not, they would call that 'socialism' or 'communism'.

There are no capitalist solutions to a capitalist problem.
That's why the working class in New York voted for Zohran Mamdani.

Here’s a clear assessment of the “Average IQ by Country 2026” data you mentioned (from WorldPopulationReview) and whether it’s scientifically valid, trustworthy, or meaningful for comparing national intelligence.

🔍 1. What This “Average IQ by Country” Data Actually Is

The WorldPopulationReview page you linked aggregates IQ estimates from various sources — especially the International IQ Test online platform and older datasets like those by Richard Lynn & David Becker — and presents them as “average IQ by country.”

However, it’s not original scientific research. It doesn’t collect truly representative, systematic data across whole national populations. Instead, it:

Uses voluntary online tests taken by internet users (self-selected samples).

Compiles and mixes data from multiple sources (some decades old) that use different methods and test types.

Often includes small sample sizes for many countries.

So the WorldPopulationReview figures are estimates or derived rankings, not rigorous scientific measurements of national intelligence.

📉 2. Problems With This Kind of Ranking
❌ Non-representative samples

Online platforms only include people who choose to take an internet IQ test. That group is typically:

More educated,

More urban,

More digitally literate,

… than the overall population. This skews results systematically.

❌ Varied test types & methodologies

Different IQ tests measure different skills (verbal, nonverbal reasoning, memory, etc.). Aggregating heterogeneous data without consistent norms makes comparisons unreliable.

❌ Sample size issues

Some low-population or low-internet-access countries might only have very few test-takers, invalidating the idea of an “average IQ.”

❌ Questionable historical sources

Datasets like the one by Lynn & Becker have been widely criticized by academic researchers for using unrepresentative data and for biases in how they estimate national IQs.

➡️ A recent critique argues that “national IQ” datasets do not provide accurate, unbiased, or comparable measures of cognitive ability worldwide due to methodological flaws like inconsistent sampling and test diversity.
🧠 3. What the Scientific Community Actually Says About Cross-Country IQ Comparisons
✅ IQ tests do measure certain cognitive skills

IQ tests can be useful in psychology to assess reasoning or problem-solving within well-standardized contexts.

⚠️ But conclusions about national differences are controversial

There is no scientific consensus that average IQ differences between countries accurately reflect innate intelligence differences. Environmental, social, and cultural factors play huge roles. For instance:

Education quality

Nutrition and health

Literacy

Socioeconomic status

Test familiarity

… all influence test performance and are not evenly distributed between countries.

Environment vs. innate differences

The mainstream view in intelligence research today emphasizes that environmental factors, not genetics, explain most group-level differences in IQ scores. Claims that genetic differences account for national IQ disparities are not supported by credible scientific evidence.

🧩 4. Other Explanations for Score Variations (Aside from “Smarter Countries”)

Here are important reasons why average IQ scores might differ — none imply one nationality is inherently more intelligent:

📊 Educational access and quality

Better schooling systems and early childhood education boost test-taking performance.

🍽 Nutrition and health

Early nutrition affects brain development; better diets often correlate with higher cognitive test performance.

📚 Literacy and test exposure

People familiar with testing formats and abstract reasoning tasks do better on IQ tests.

🌍 Cultural familiarity with test content

Even “culture-fair” tests can still favor certain ways of thinking or problem-solving.

🧪 Sampling bias

If only a subset of people in a country participates (e.g., mostly well-off, urban, educated), the “average” is skewed.

🧠 5. Should You Trust This Source?

WorldPopulationReview is not a peer-reviewed scientific source for IQ research. It’s a publicly accessible statistics site that compiles existing estimates without rigorous methodology.

It doesn’t ensure representative sampling,

It mixes diverse data sources, and

It does not conform to the standards you’d expect from academic research in psychology or psychometrics.

Therefore, the data can be interesting for informal comparisons but should be treated with strong caution — particularly when drawing conclusions about national intelligence.

📌 Bottom Line

✅ IQ testing can measure some cognitive skills.
⚠️ But country-level averages based on online, non-random samples are not scientifically robust.
❌ These rankings do not prove that some populations are inherently more intelligent than others.
📌 Factors like education, health, environment, and test-taking bias are huge contributors.

👉 In short: no — the “Average IQ by Country” list is not a scientifically valid or reliable measure of national intelligence.

Well what about eye witness observations of said country? Let's find some video or photos of somalia,
Does that look like a group of smart people to you?

There is no process for determining the average IQ of citizens of a country, by method of eye witness observations. There are stupid people in all countries.
Your videos show people who are forced to do stupid things out of poverty and desperation. That is not evidence for their IQ.

Most flat earthers on the internet are Americans. Does that make all Americans stupid?
Are they forced to think stupid ideas?

You mean you aren't a flat earther?

I know. I have never met or heard from a Dutch person who believed that the earth is flat though. I did meet several Dutch creationists, some that I didn't even know to be religious.

Ananas, Americans are not forced to think stupid ideas. They willingly think stupid ideas. This country, arguably the most powerful, richest and most diverse, is also one with high levels of poor education.
The US faces significant challenges, ranking lower in international assessments (like 36th in literacy) due to large numbers of adults with low literacy skills (below 6th grade level) and lower educational attainment compared to top-ranking developed nations like Canada, Japan, and Ireland. (This last paragraph is not from me, but, the studies made by worldwide observations by researchers)
Another problem is the extreme hatred generated by a government bent on providing our Capitalist system fodder for its enrichment.

Phart showed videos where people in poor countries are doing stupid things,
as an example of their low IQ.

Let's assess an example. India has the highest number of road deaths in the world, in terms of absolute fatalities. I saw the TV-show Deadliest Roads, where they followed a truck-driver, with the most beat-up truck you ever saw. He sat on a crate, because he had no seat, his steering had about half a rotation of play, his brakes hardly functioned, and he drove from early in the morning till late in the evening, along crumbling roads on the edge of deep drops. Phart would say that this truck-driver is absolutely crazy, and he must have a very low IQ. That assumes that the truck-driver doesn't understand his danger. The reality is that he knows exactly that he is risking his life every day, but he is working to feed his family. He doesn't make enough money to fix his truck. In other words; the system that he is living (and dying) under is FORCING him to ACT stupid. That's no reason to assume that he has low IQ.

Then I see lots of Americans ACTING stupid, like believing in obvious nonsense,
so I ask phart if they are forced to act stupid. If they are NOT, that's a good reason
to assume that they have low IQ.

Amartya Sen (Indian Nobel Prize winning economist): "People should be judged
by the options genuinely available to them, not by the outcomes they endure."

No , people aren't forced to act stupid. Here in the US people jump from cliffs with little rubber cords that break, they jump from planes and shit all the time. I remember during the time I was in rehab it was the same time that a American dr had gotten trampled over when he went over to "run with the bulls". I have no sympathy for that guy at all. My physical therapist knew the therapist working to help this guy recover

As for the guy with the beat up truck in India,
I think he smart to be able to keep it running, that is a feat in it's self.
IT does beg the question though why other countrys like Japan and such can't send their older trucks there instead of scrapping a 50,000 mile truck for no reason, as they do daily.

It's certainly a feat to keep that truck running, without any money.
However, it doesn't take much, to make a simple truck keep going forward.
Most scrappers in a scrap yard will be able to drive, with some tinkering.

The difference is that developed countries have standards for safety.
Your truck has other requirements than just the ability to go forwards.
Those requirements are for your safety as well as everyone else's on the roads.
That's why the US doesn't have the same rate of road deaths as India.

The reason for why so many 50,000 mile trucks end up in the scrap yard in the US:
1. Severe collision damage — Frame or structural damage makes repair unsafe or uneconomical.
2. Flood / water damage — Electrical systems become unreliable and uninsurable.
3. Insurance total-loss economics — Repair costs exceed vehicle market value.
4. Frame rust / corrosion — Structural rust fails inspections and can’t be economically fixed (regional: salt belt states).
5. Part-out value exceeds whole value — Truck is worth more dismantled than repaired.
6. Fleet write-offs — Companies retire vehicles for accounting or liability reasons.
7. Emissions or regulatory failure — Compliance cost exceeds vehicle value.
8. Theft recovery damage — Stripped or vandalized vehicles are too risky to repair.
9. Manufacturer buybacks / recalls — Rare safety or lemon-law removals.
(This ranking reflects real-world frequency)

Clarification: Most 50k-mile trucks that are “scrapped” are:
- Not mechanically worn out
- Often drivable
- But, removed due to economic or safety reasons
