1·15 hours agoI just learned about the difference between psyllium and dextrin, and think I’ll stick with psyllium due to its insulin modulation and LDL-reducing properties. Both will give you great poops though

5·1 day agoI was able to stop sodas a number of years ago, and now the thought of drinking one makes me nauseous. A helpful crutch are those Ciao San Pellegrino’s, they have a tiny bit of sugar that makes them immensely more satisfying than other flavored sparkling waters. I keep my fridge stocked with the cherry and blood orange

8·1 day agoI also do fiber every morning, but I don’t know if I’d ruin my coffee with it. I mix it up in a tiny glass with water and basically shoot it so I can enjoy the taste of everything else

13·1 day agoFirst off, if you make a change to a higher fiber diet, you’re likely to have increased flatulence while your gut microbiota acclimates. Second, there are different fiber sources that each person may respond differently to. Personally, some legumes will make me gassy no matter how I cook them, but when I throw a serving of psyllium husk in whatever I’m eating, I have no problem.

1·2 days agoQuite a few angiosperms have inconspicuous flowers. All grasses have flowers, but on most species you’ll never see them unless you’re studying them with a magnifying glass

14·2 days agoIn English, in my opinion at least, “flower” describes the inflorescence at any point in its growth cycle, while “blossom” describes the flower at its fullest development. More often though, “blossom” is used as a verb meaning to bloom or to develop.
This was posted two days ago and I was in this conversation from the beginning. Still waiting for an example of someone saying that issues of gender equality don’t exist
You’re making it sound like people are saying left and right that gender equality doesn’t exist, when literally no one here is saying that. The comments you’re referring to say the Epstein case isn’t a gender issue, which is very different from what you’re incorrectly perceiving
Where’s Ren and Stimpy on this list?
If that’s your perspective, is anyone ever responsible for anything? Or is it all just genetics and hormones

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•Explain Like I am a child ... taxes. I get you pay taxes on goods you buy everyday. And you get said goods by paying a one time fee. But how come on a home after being paid off I still pay taxes......English
