Well yet another member of the senseless squad registers their confident ignorance. I used my sister's name LaShanda, as the reference identity, in a fictitious example. How on Earth you twisted that into Nazis and slave labor in Auschwitz, is really Freudian. No where in my example, using the name LaShanda, was it stated that she was an 'example of an idiot'. Can't you see that you are reading your ignorant stereotypes into the facts of the example? You are introducing, your ideas (incorrectly), onto the example. Another dangerous example of people misreading something, and declaring facts.
You're right, my intentional hyperbole was filled with hyperbole. I'm so dangerous. And, yes, its Freudian. I used to be a Nazi that worked at a concentration camp myself and I am subconsciously projecting. That must be it. Obviously that's the logical outcome one would have with that short paragraph. That totally makes sense and isn't patently ridiculous.
Then you bring it home with:
"vitamins are a waste of time and money for a typical person consuming a balanced diet or something close to it."
How much time are you estimating it takes to swallow a vitamin? One or two seconds.
How expensive are vitamins where you live? #365 Centrum are $19.95. That equals 0.05cents per day. Do you think that's going to break the bank of most American households.
I'll respond to this the way you respond to things. With a hilarious over-the-top reaction that goes nowhere.
It's still time and money. $19,95 is more than $0. And that $19.95 could be used to feed a village in Africa for a month. A MONTH. You are directly advocating a paradigm that leads to children in Africa dying of starvation.
Also, 1-2 seconds is clearly not enough time to take a vitamin. You have to open the bottle...and what if you have arthritis? You might take 10-15 seconds. Then you have to pour a glass of water. And with fresh water becoming a scarcer and scarcer resource, you are contributing to environmental harm. But this act itself takes a solid 10-15 seconds. Then you take the pill, a solid 5 seconds of place in mouth, raise glass, tilt glass, allow fluid to drop into the mouth using gravity, then, to be brief, use the musculature of the GI system to force the pill into the stomach where it will eventually be absorbed in the intestines.
Please share what parameters you are using to define the 'typical' person and 'something close to it'.
Most Americans. Obviously those with absorption disorders or the pregnant are excluded. But the pregnant only really need exogenous folic acid, so lets not pretend they count. And true absorption disorders are relatively rare.
Those are broad sweeping generalizations, based on your limited knowledge and experience.
Yeah, you're right. I don't have years of inpatient and outpatient experience. I just some dude that registered on this site like 10 years ago, then stumbled in today out of nowhere. I'm actually a plumber. Most of those thousands of posts are about football (actually, that's probably true...)
Try using that argument in a court room.
Yes. I'm in a court room now. Clearly. I see the jury over there in the corner. I tried to get that bastard that graduated from Pitt taken off, but it didn't work out.
The old "I feel' versus 'the facts' defense. Your statements are based in your ignorance and a dangerous overconfidence of your beliefs, not facts.
No, I'm pretty sure I can read general guideline statements from established, evidence-based medical organizations and journals rather well.
Learn to read what is stated. Not what you think is being stated.
We don't call my sister LaShanda, by her full name. We call her Shanda, for short. One can only imagine what mental corruption you must suffer from, to think so little of such a beautiful name. Sad.
Yeah, honestly, I don't believe you. I require evidence. I need a form of gov't ID. You probably don't have a sister. You might actually just be a sentient computer that got bored and decided to start trolling. That would be kinda cool. Like when we had an actual terrorist post on here a few months ago.
Or a human that decided to start trolling.
