The burden of proof is not on me, but I already told you it is in his supplement list.
I have no problem with people using weed or even drink alcohol… (@John_Hemming can be drunk many times), I never said you were, just something I should assume more often.
No, it just means this:

Hi Jonas, it does help a little to develop a little thicker skin and not be too sensitive.
I don’t think @matthost was attacking you by saying
And with @AnUser , you have to understand that’s AnUser being AnUser. Once you get to know people, you can interpret better. People here are generally great but sometimes they’re just having a bad day.

As my mom always taught me, it is not what you say, it is HOW you say it. I am a gentle soul of an extremely nice person so I apply that standard reciprocally. We are here to share knowledge and information, not to pick a statement out of context and then twist it so you can sling the other person for whatever you please. No, I expect everyone to act accordingly.
The purpose of the post about the BJ and DHA is to raise a debate on DHA oxidation and its potential harm as it is something I take every day and many others do. Why are we not debating the topic?
I have to say, ever since I posted about something Hollywood/DEI regarding whites, I have experienced something “different”. Regardless, I will not engage on this topic anymore. Please go out and enjoy the weather!

I appreciate that @RapAdmin gives us the freedom to express our unique personalities. But because there are so many interesting and intelligent (and quirky) individuals here, it’s not always pretty. The key is to try and be tolerant (but I draw the line at some things). What you gain over a more tightly regulated forum is that you can actually get to know people. Sometimes threads do go off on a little tangent but that can be interesting, you can skip over it.

This is the dumbest discussion ever.
I just wanted a source.

Thanks for the heads up! I just read that whole thread and as off topic as it was, it really helped in getting to know people (especially @RapAdmin ). Even @AnUser made some good points (I know, unbelievable, right?).

@Jonas In case you don’t know, this forum’s software allows for blocking people. I have used it. You can set it for a period of time (a “time out”) or as a permanent block. And you can change your mind later.

I thought that wasn’t possible. How do you do it?

Go to the user profile of the person you want to ignore, then press this button

@KarlT Tap the avatar of the person you want to “mute” (or just change notifications). When the profile opens, tap the avatar again. Now you will see a “normal” label displayed near the bottom of the screen (of a phone). Click on the adjacent dropdown indicator to see options for notifications for just this one person. Make your selection, and then answer the question of timeframe.
You can change it anytime.

I vividly remember having an elevated heart rate for a full day after my sauna experience in Helsinki. Actually I’ve had two experiences: “First” and “Last”!
I’ve never had the desire to repeat the experience.

Interesting that none of Finland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia and Iceland have very high rates of centenarians. This is despite sauna use being much more prevalent in those countries than others higher up the list AND despite the fact that oily fish consumption would be relatively high in those countries.
Simply strengthens my belief that neither sauna use nor fish oil have any longevity benefits. In the case of saunas; it may even be detrimental.

My hot take
I think some people want to debunk sauna benefits so badly because they can’t possibly believe sitting in a hot room is good for you, so they overlook all the positive data.

Among the top ranked, Portugal, Japan, Spain, South Korea, and Barbados have high fish consumption. The outlier is Romania, ranked 128 in fish consumption, but number 2 for number of centenarians per 100,000…

I have no need to debunk, but I find it difficult to think that a sauna does anything to your body that can’t be done another way.

Its an interesting point about saunas. AIUI hormesis has a U shaped curve where a little is beneficial, but that can turn bad with a lot. It may be that the threshold for sauna is quite low.
I think this pattern of hormesis response can be seen in the cellular response to hyperoxia. There is a clear pattern of an initial response with HIF 1 alpha, then NRF2 leading to NF kappa B

These so-called “benefits” obviously do not include increasing the odds of living to 100+.
I find it difficult to understand how people can ignore data on a macro-scale such as the centenarian rate for each country.
You can safely ignore “micro” data such as uncle Jussi who used the sauna every day and died aged 105. It’s the exact reverse of saying that smoking is OK because George Burns smoked cigars and made it to 100. George Burns made it to 100 IN SPITE OF smoking cigars.

The data on Romania may not be reliable. This article puts it lower, and the average life expectancy is only 76 years. Romania has almost 5,500 centenarians on the voting lists | Romania Insider
It would be interesting to plot national average fish consumption against life expectancy. UK and USA are appalling low

It is a bit weird that people launch into personal attacks. That user does have habit of doing that. I’m sure there are reasons for it. I hope you’re not put off the forum. Ignore is a wonderful tool!
