  1. Re:So women are less than men... again? on Girls Take All In $50 Million Google Learn-to-Code Initiative · · Score: 1

    If you accept special treatment you are tacitly agreeing you are less than. How can any woman not find that incredibly insulting?

  2. What passes for science in the US on Teaching Creationism As Science Now Banned In Britain's Schools · · Score: 1

    There are so many Americans who have no idea how to decipher valid science from junk science. They listen to celebrities anecdotal evidence and then hook their children up for chelation treatments to cure various maladies. God is not part of science. I believe there may be a God but I don't see how it fits into science curriculum.

    My carb intake varies depending how active I am. Between 30 and 60 grams a day. Actually Researchers have a huge interest in learning how to cure type I by studying RNY patients who have type II Diabetes. These patients show normal blood sugar levels within days of the surgery, before any weight loss has occurred. The research around this is referred to as the foregut hypotheses of diabetes remission. Even non obese Type II diabetics can benefit from this surgery. Hopefully it will lead to more treatment options for type !.

    It may be manageable but I disagree it's not fairly easy to cure. Some type II patients make less insulin than others. When I was pregnant my perfect A1C scores were destroyed and I ate minimal carbs. I was on 7 shots of insulin a day. The placenta steers the boat like a Drunk Kennedy. Does anyone have any study information about how many Diabetics both types were cured by RNY surgery? It is a lot less risky than an organ transplant and costs a lot less.
