So, I use the Newsbreak app because it has articles from some local news sources, and I haven't bothered to set up an RSS feed with those sources.
That said, the "Newsbreak Originals" are flaming hot garbage with AI-generated content, outdated news, insane religious or pseudoscience bunk, and other nonsense.
If possible, the mods of this community should consider automatically filtering out posts from this domain.
I see Big Kiwi is at it again.
Literally the case here too
Eat fucking liver.
I can't even be in the house if they're cooking liver. It smells disgusting to me.
You get used to it. But anyway, you eat it for health.
so kiwis are going on the shopping list. got it.
Self reported surveys are not exactly the pinnacle of accurate science.
They can be in the right context but not when they're comparing interventions which cannot be blinded. And where one of the interventions changes something else (in this case, the amount of other foods you eat if you have to eat two kiwi fruit instead of just popping a pill).
I consume a lot of vitamin c (it's sour and used in sour foods like candy, and I love sour stuff)... At what point does it affect your mood? 🤔
When you're deficient in Vitamin C.
The moment big kiwi's check hits your bank account from the looks of the comments here
I used to eat kiwi a lot more... But then they stopped selling them like normal fruits and veggies where I could just grab 1 or 2 and instead they sell them in big containers of like 20 or so kiwis. I don't want that many, and I certainly don't want to pay $12 for them.
If big kiwi wants to sell me more fruit, stop only selling them like blueberries and let me buy one at a time.
This reads like an advert for kiwi.
This study looked at how daily doses of vitamin C—either from a 250 mg tablet or, more enticingly, two SunGoldTM kiwifruits—can affect our mood, energy, and overall sense of well-being.
It basically is...
A good practice is to check who funded the given study. Look under acknowledgements.
In this case, it was Zespri International Ltd. "the world’s largest marketer of kiwifruit"
The purported benefits claims are from self-assessment phone surveys..
Definitively no suspicion of bias in this research...
