Huh? I thought citric acid makes milk curdle

That's why you don't stir

I've seen children whose teeth had rotten due to being bottle-fed soda and in extreme cases it leads to them getting sick and having the teeth surgically removed. As a result those children's adult teeth almost certainly will not grow in proper alignment and it can lead to a lifetime of inconvenience at best.

My dad used to give me sugary tea in a bottle. I had to have all my teeth pulled by the time I was 2

Which is it, for kids that don't like milk or for kids that like milk and want it with their 7-Up?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

As any Irish mammy will tell you, a flat, warm 7-Up is the cure for all childhood illnesses.

Here in the US it's Ginger Ale

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Especially the kind that doesn't actually contain any ginger.

Why are people out here attacking my pilk? (Pepsi + milk)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Came here to Pilk, you beat me. But you'll never beat Pilk, because nothing beats Polk.

Alright hear me out - 7-UP Milk Beef Fizz

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wonder how many mothers back then read that and thought:

"No I do NOT know. In fact my instincts tell me this is bullshit."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well, "mothers back then" drink alcohol and smoking while breastfeeding, so 7-up and milk is a high probability combination.

led my mind on a train of thought and I was curious how infant mortality has improved over the years so I found this graphic:

I'm most interested in the colorful squiggly lines that show a downward trend in infant mortality over the years, I'm not interested or care about the racial disparities, and I have no idea what that black jagged line going the opposite direction is.

But I'm most interested in the colorful squiggly lines that show a downward trend in infant mortality over the years.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Well, the black squiggly line in the opposite direction shows an increasing relative gap between races, which you don't care about.

It shows that while infant mortality has gone down for all, and even though it's significant, that black children are dying at an increasing proportion to their white peers. But you don't care that it fundamentally shows that they're not getting the same access to the same improvements (either medical care, education of the mother on prenatal care, etc).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think you misunderstand what they meant with "I don't care about". It sounds like they just meant that it's not line why they're quoting this graph, they got it for the stats on child-deaths-per-1k people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But they also state they do not understand the black line, which I would argue understanding it is the entire point of the graph.

Yeah, fewer infants are dying but access to the improvements is not equal. That's a pretty important point to reflect on.

(Obviously without any ability to determine the causation of the problem... Just that one exists and should be investigated)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah but not if you were just googling for a graph that shows the development of infant mortality in the past 100 years, this came up, and you need it for those curves.
