I would second Avocado oil for high heat cooking, high in MUFAs. Also good for uses where you want a tasteless oil like mayo if you don't enjoy the taste of extra virgin olive oil.

Extra virgin Olive for low heat application.

Definitely want to avoid Cottonseed as it contains a chemical used as male contraception (unless you want that!)

Apple's appstore? :)

Thanks so much! Really appreciate the info.

Sorry a bit off-topic, but what form of K2 and magnesium do you take? Can you point me to your protocol to reverse calcium buildup?

Not original poster, but thinking this was a joke about Tonic water that contains Quinine, a close relative of Chloroquine.

I'm wondering why the entire southeast of the US was left out of the analysis? I'd have imagined ATL or Miami would have enough data to add to the report and cost of living is fairly low even in comparison to many of these other cities.

Now, if we can only get the FDA to allow it!

Thank you, you people are awesome!

I just needed to get the correct keywords to google and came across:

The dataplan on some look very reasonable, like $1/MB/Month, but the hardware itself seems cost prohibitive.

I mean, the Dash costs $59 or the Electron at $39 just for the board to send over 2G? You can get a disposable cellphone for < $10 complete with LCD screen and that worm eating game!

I guess I'll just need to wait another year or two until economies of scale kicks in...

This is amazing! I've wanted to do some "citizen science" project in waterways around me. For instance, building cheap sensors that detect temperature/water level/salinity/particulates/etc that are so cheap as to be basically disposable.

The sensor itself could probably be made for less than $10 these days using various arduino modules, but I'm stuck on how to have the sensors communicate back to a "base station" to collect the information. Cellular-based would probably have great range but who wants to have a phone plan for each sensor! Zigbee may be an alternative, but it may require line of sight. Obviously it'd also have to be low power to work on a LiIon battery, or possibly have a solar panel to harvest power.

I believe the only way to make change is to show our impacts on our environment. And local government doesn't have the tech expertise, money or political willpower to suggest that "local business" may be destroying our health (when it's creating jobs!).

Anyone have any tech suggestions or organizations that do this sort of thing?

Fan like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_625625-1225-HBF2010A-WM_0__

Filter like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Filtrete-Advanced-Allergen-Reducti...

They even have a filter embedded with carbon if you're a smoker.

I built a very similar thing in the US. I don't know where these fans or hepa filters are sold, but I buy a standard 20" boxfan at walmart ($16ish USD), and a 3M Filtrete AC filter in 20x20x1" size (also ~$15USD). These come in different ratings, so I buy the "allergen reducer" rating or higher.

Duct tape to the back of the box fan, done.

Also, it's fairly well known by this point that there's an altered microbiome in Autism. Would be fascinating to see a transplant study done if the risk is so low.

Ah! Good to hear they are legislating towards a bit more progress. Do you know if any pharma companies have re-entered antibiotic research since GAIN passed? I believe there's only a small handful of them left.

Not to mention creating new drugs without implementing any rational controls over their use in humans and livestock is like pouring more gas on the fire.

But I digress about leaving science to legislators....

Maybe they can create an incentive to create new antibiotics? I've heard there are few if any in the pipeline since they are not profitable to pharma companies and resistance is increasing alarmingly fast!

It's a shame they used the cheap, synthetic (and less bioavailable) forms for quite a few of the ingredients. For instance:

Cyanocobalamin vs Methylcobalamin

D2 vs D3 (ergocalciferol is D2)

Folic Acid vs MethylFolate or at the least Folinic Acid

Sodium Selenite vs Yeast based Selenium or Selenomethionine

Why not just eat a bowl of total cereal? Or, eat a bowl of oatmeal and pop a centrum?
