  • I don’t know I am kinda boring sometimes I will rewatch the same shows over and over I do that with movies too. Be honest I don’t have the time to do all the things I want.

    On Supernatural remember show aired for 15 years been fan since day one and been off the air for 3 years. So plenty of time to rewatch my favorite episodes.

    On WestWorld it was a great show and season 1 is awesome.

    Justified is just great and on The Boys I rewatch right before a new season aired. Same way it started with WestWorld I mean each season was 2 years apart. Then when I am in the mood I will rewatch it. I seen season 3 and 4 twice but thats it.

    If you saw the amount of books I read you probably be flabbergasted.

    One thing I don’t have enough time for is my writing ( I literally have 3 novels I need to finish editing and one need to finish writing.

    Also playing video games. I still have not finished Dead Island 2 and just got the new Zelda game but haven’t finished the first one for the Switch.

    And now writing all of this reminds me that I need to focus on my editing instead of being here on Lemmy.

    Oh and how can I forget that I am building an Rv Park on top of my day job. I don’t know how I can get anything done.









  • Can Diet Soda Increase the Chances of Dementia? June 12, 2019

    Can Diet Soda Increase the Chances of Dementia The artificial sweeteners used in diet sodas—and thousands of other processed foods—are anything but sweet. In fact, they can be toxic to the brain. Consuming these sugar substitutes on a regular basis is not a recipe for a healthy memory.

    Sherry, who weighed over 200 pounds on her 5’5” frame, guzzled diet soda thinking it would help her lose weight. It didn’t. Even worse, she started experiencing a host of symptoms—digestive issues, arthritis, forgetfulness, and confusion. In fact, Sherry’s diet soda habit was hurting her brain and putting her memory at risk.

    That’s what a growing body of evidence shows. For example, a study in the journal Stroke found that drinking diet soda was linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

    4 Ways Artificial Sweeteners Steal Your Mind

    1. Aspartame overstimulates neurotransmitters. One of the most commonly used artificial sweeteners in diet sodas, aspartame is particularly damaging to the brain. Consider how it impacts aspartate, an excitatory neurotransmitter associated with memory as well as learning and pain perception. Aspartame stimulates this neurotransmitter. This may sound like a good thing, but in excessive amounts it overstimulates it, turning it into a potent neurotoxin that damages neurons, causes cell death, and is associated with a host of issues including memory problems and dementia.

    Also my brother and dad were heavy drinkers of diet Coke I saw first hand experience of ut affecting their memory. With my dad we literally thought he had dementia. Then we cut it off and over time he got better.
