Young Ben Shapiro trash-talks a punching bag, which then knocks him out

Shapiro with his whiny voice strikes me as very un-masculine. Is it just me? I wonder if he may have urges that he isn't comfortable with and that is why he is constantly talking about being macho?

Brawny Ben Shapiro enjoys lecturing people on how to be masculine like him. On his popular incel podcast, he told his audience just what he thinks of Harry Styles, who wears dresses for photo shoots.

"Okay, other things that I hate, today," Ben told his viewers. "So, Harry Styles is a human. I've been informed that Harry Styles is human. I've said before that I find Harry Styles pretty derivative. I mean, he's basically just doing David Bowie but transed-up. He is supposed to be a fashion hero because he keeps wearing women's clothes on the cover of magazines because 'he's flaunting the rules, guys.' Woohoo! And it's all part of the face-tattoo syndrome. Harry Styles. 'Wow, it's groundbreaking. He's wearing a dress on the cover.' Oohooho! and then you say, 'Well yeah, and that's not very masculine.' He looks like a dope. He looks like an idiot. And maybe men should actually, you, know act masculine, as a general rule."

Hey Harry, wise up! You'll never get a romantic partner until you look and act masculine like Big Bad Ben!

Bold Ben has always been a man of action who doesn't put up with any guff. In a recently unearthed video, a teenage Shapiro can be seen confronting a gymnasium speedball, which he accuses of thinking it's better than him. "You think you're higher than me, you're better than me? You're not better than me, at all. I'll teach you!" he scolds in his rugged voice, which is often compared to Clint Eastwood's, before delivering a blow to the ball.

But as the video shows, the speedball wasn't going down without a fight. In a stunning turn of events, the ball strikes back, knocking Shapiro to the ground and leaving him nursing a bruised nose. After staggering to his feet, Burly Ben covered his bruised nose with his hands and minced his way around the gym equipment toward the exit.

Study Suggests Possible Link Between Sugar Substitute and Heart Issues. Experts Say, Don't Panic.

This study was posted a couple of days ago here. Looked pretty bad but many scientists don't seem to concerned with and suggest because Eritheratal is formed in the body the findings could be overblown. More research is needed.

From the New York Times:

Snip: “There are going to be studies that show that it’s good, bad or indifferent,” Dr. Nestle said. People have been consuming artificial sweeteners for years, she added, “it’s really hard to put your finger on any specific problem.”

And it’s especially challenging to examine the health effects of sugar substitutes and alternative sweeteners when they are consumed as part of a larger diet, Dr. Slavin said.

Dr. Slavin noted that the people who consume high amounts of artificial sweeteners may already be at risk for cardiovascular issues. If they have conditions like diabetes or obesity, they may be using artificial sweeteners to try to cut back on sugar, she said. “That’s the really important thing, for people to not say, ‘Hey, this stuff is terrible, it’s giving us heart attacks,’” Dr. Slavin said. “No. This is another data point that says, ‘Hey, we have to look into this.’”

How Intermittent Fasting Impacts Longevity: A Summary of the Research

A very comprehensive article that goes into great detail.

How Intermittent Fasting Impacts Longevity: A Summary of the Research
By Diana Licalzi, MS, RD, CDCES, October 23, 2020

Intermittent fasting (IF) has risen in popularity, as numerous studies continue to illustrate its many benefits. In humans, intermittent fasting improves weight, insulin resistance, inflammation, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.[1] IF has also reduced tumor growth, boosted stem cell production, and increased lifespan in mice.[2] One compelling explanation for these outcomes relates to a term called adaptive stress—a type of physiological stress that elicits positive responses. During fasting, cells undergo adaptive stress, which activates different pathways in the body, resulting in a range of effects, including increased production of antioxidants, DNA repair, autophagy (the removal of damaged or dead cells), and decreased inflammation.[1]
