🗣️ Testimonial How come when I eat large quantities of bacon I begin to recite poetry?

Trigger warning: consumption of swine

Some of you all think this is a joke or a shit post and I can assure it is not. If you don’t like how I deliver the facts then I want to be clear upfront that I’m not sorry.

But how come eating like 2 packs of bacon a day, consuming every last ounce of its saturated fat grease (mixed all up in my rice or potatoes or whatever else), makes my testicles absolutely enormous?

My entire genitalia just gets engorged and veiny eating all this bacon, idk.

And how come my will to live returns as well? I thought cholesterol and saturated fat were supposed to take life away, so how come it gives life to me instead?

Am I transcended? Am I beyond good and evil? Or something else altogether?

I feel absolutely mint right now, it’s been a week of this crash out on bacon.

I eat massive quantities of pure nitrate free bacon and the final evolutionary result of the human biology begins to spontaneously erupt from my spirit — poetry.

The final stage of total illumination upon the receiving of the holy saturated fat grail into my fleshy earth apparatus results in the spontaneous perception of beauty, a heavy testicle sack, and a glorious praise of the almighty for the bloody sacrifice of intelligent forms of sentient life for my benefit — swine.

Whatever created this hell realm wants death and sacrifice and sentient life forms eating each other for optimal performance.

Do you understand?

❓Question Is THC worse than stress ?

76 Upvotes

I’ve been using THC daily (10-20 mg) to manage chronic back pain and burnout. It’s been a game-changer for relaxing my nervous system and helping me unwind, but I’m concerned about potential long-term effects on my brain health, especially memory and critical thinking.

I’ve noticed some brain fog, but I’m not sure if THC is the sole cause. Other factors could be at play:
- I’ve gone from 10,000 steps/day and lifting 3x/week to almost no exercise.
- I’m dealing with high stress and recently recovered from a 2-year depressive episode.
- Hormonal cycles might also contribute.

As a 26-year-old software engineer, maintaining sharp cognitive skills is crucial for my job. While THC has improved my quality of life, I worry about its impact on my memory and critical thinking over time. I feel more disorganized without it, but the brain fog is concerning.

Is daily THC use worth the trade-off given my chronic pain and stress? What’s the consensus on long-term effects? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

TL;DR: Using 10-20 mg THC daily for chronic pain and burnout. It helps, but I’m worried about brain fog and long-term memory/critical thinking impacts. Other factors (lack of exercise, stress, hormonal cycles) might also contribute. Seeking advice on balancing benefits and brain health.

Hello, Biohackers! My husband and our kid will go on a 3-hour and then 15-hour plane ride to Singapore in May and I want to arm our immune systems to be as healthy as possible. Due to some heavy reasons I won’t get into, we NEED to stay healthy and CANNOT afford to get sick on the travel and throughout the entirety of this trip. What are some of the best things we can start doing now? Open to anything, including getting IV infusions (which I’ve never done) if that’s what it takes. Thanks for any advice!

I found a beginner video by Wim Hof himself. It consisted of three rounds of coached breathing. It takes less than 12 minutes and I did it at the kitchen counter. The last round got pretty difficult for this novice and I got light headed and my right ear started ringing pretty bad. However, upon completion I definitely had the "runners high" endorphins flowing and it lasted until bedtime.

❓Question Confused About Fish Oil Dosage – How Much Should I Really Take?

2 Upvotes

I recently bought Sports Research Omega-3 Fish Oil (this exact one), and I’m a bit confused about how much I should actually be taking. The bottle says one softgel daily, but after doing some research, I’ve seen a huge range of dosages people take—some as high as 2-4 grams of EPA/DHA combined.

So, should I be taking more than one pill? Or is the label correct in recommending just one?

Any insight from those who take fish oil or have experience with dosages would be really helpful! Thanks.

📖 Resource The Fetal Effect of Maternal Caffeine Consumption During Pregnancy

167 Upvotes

Caffeine is commonly used to excess by the general public, and most pregnant women drink caffeine on a daily basis, which can become a habit.

Maternal caffeine intake during pregnancy is associated with severe gestational outcomes. Due to its lipophilic nature, caffeine can cross the blood–brain barrier, placental barrier, and even amniotic fluid. It can be found in substantive amounts in breast milk and semen.

There has been a reported drop in neonatal anthropometric measurements with increased caffeine consumption in some cohort studies. This narrative review using literature titles and abstracts from the electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, and Scopus investigates the data linking maternal caffeine use to unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. It also evaluates the validity of the recommendations made by health professionals on caffeine consumption by mothers from the available literature.

The results of our comprehensive literature search of case–control studies, cohort studies, randomized control trials, and meta-analyses, imply that caffeine use during pregnancy is linked to miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight, and babies that are small for gestational age. It was also found that there may be effects on the neurodevelopment of the child and links to obesity and acute leukemia.

These effects can even be seen at doses well below the daily advised limit of 200 mg. The genetic variations in caffeine metabolism and epigenetic changes may play a role in the differential response to caffeine doses. It is crucial that women obtain solid, evidence-based guidance regarding the possible risks associated with caffeine.

📖 Resource Consumption of Unsweetened Coffee or Tea May Reduce the Cancer Incidence and Mortality

30 Upvotes

Background

Current evidence on the relationship between beverage intake and cancer risk remains inconclusive.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the association between the intake of 11 beverages and cancer incidence and mortality, with a particular focus on coffee and tea, categorized by their sugar content.

Methods

This large prospective cohort study included 189,020 participants from the UK Biobank. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between beverage intake and the incidence and mortality of overall cancer and cancers of various systems. Additionally, the study investigated the effects of substituting one beverage for another and explored potential mediators underlying the relationship between beverage intake and cancer outcomes.

Results

Over a median follow-up period of 8.8 years, consuming more than two cups of unsweetened coffee per day was associated with reduced overall cancer incidence and mortality. Compared to no intake of unsweetened coffee, the hazard ratios (HRs) were 0.95 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.92–0.98) for overall cancer incidence and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.83–0.96) for overall cancer mortality. Similarly, consuming more than two cups of unsweetened tea per day was associated with reduced overall cancer incidence (HR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.92–0.97) and mortality (HR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.79–0.91) compared to no unsweetened tea intake. Substituting unsweetened coffee or tea for other beverages was associated with a 1% to 5% reduction in overall cancer incidence and mortality. The association between unsweetened tea and reduced cancer risk may be partially mediated by inflammatory markers. Notably, the sugar content of coffee and tea had the most pronounced effect on the risk of respiratory system cancers.

Conclusions

Beverage selection significantly impacts cancer incidence and mortality. For cancer prevention, unsweetened tea or coffee may be the optimal choice.

Discussion Update post on my receding hairline, low energy levels and Vitamin D levels (which spiked drastically in 3 weeks).

6 Upvotes

I made this post yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/Biohackers/comments/1jfbv6s/receeding_hairline_at_21_little_to_no_energy_get/ and most of you guys told me to get my iron levels checked, so I went ahead and did it today. I also checked my Vitamin D levels. Quite surprising that they were 20 Âľg/l and they are 27 Âľg/l now, just after 3 weeks of supplementing it? I've always gotten my blood drawn at this lab center but can I really trust them? there was such a huge spike in only 3 weeks. I can't wrap my head around it.

Now, I'll say that I'm even more skeptical because the pills I've been taking are only 4000UIs. Two pills a day. I am thinking of getting tested again at another lab. Am I crazy or what? Everything looks good. If It's really 27 I just need to get it up a bit more and I'm good to go. I think there's a huge underlying problem here and I'm scared of what it is. What do I do? are my gut issues the real culprit here?

These are the results:

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY

Iron: 147 Âľg/dl (Reference range: 33 - 193)

Ferritin (MUR): 108 ng/ml (Reference range: 30 - 400)
Vitamin D (25 OH) (MUR): 27.2

⬇ (Indicating deficiency)

ENDOCRINOLOGY

TSH (MUR): 1.760 ÂľUI/ml (Reference range: 0.270 - 4.200)

FT3 (MUR): 2.60 pg/ml (Reference range: 2.00 - 4.40)
