All I know is that cordyceps creep me the gently caress out and I'm not putting that fungus anywhere near my body.

Can confirm that cordyceps are good for boners, but that's mainly because of my Cordycep fetish (everything to do with it.)

Not much in terms of actual food aside from berries and stuff in health. There's fuckloads of tea though. Neat! https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...2695555948.html https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...2625263294.html https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...2738221199.html

Synthbuttrange posted:too late I'm going to order all this loving tea https://www.hindawi.com/journals/jt/2013/370460/ quote:All teas contained significant amounts of aluminum. Tea leaves contained from 568 to 3287 ng/g of tea. All brewed teas steeped for 3 or 15 minutes contained detectable levels of aluminum. The range was 1131 μgm/L to 8324 μgm/L steeping for 3 minute and 1413 μgm/L to 11449 μgm/L steeping for 15 minutes. Only 2 teas had levels above acceptable limits at 3 minutes of brewing but 6 of the teas had levels greater than the upper acceptable daily limit of 7000 μgm/L. Clearly letting tea steep for longer than 3 minutes is not advisable. Two of the organic green teas had levels above 10,000 μgm/L brewed for 15 minutes. Delicious!

Blue Train posted:Then why do so many foods and drinks come in aluminum or tin cans mister smarty pants Tin cans were phased out in something like the napoleonic era, because below a certain temperature they just fall apart and that's bad. I'm assuming that aluminum up to a given point might not be bad, just not necessary. Or the cans have liners on the inside. Food packaging isn't my specialty so I don't know.

Improbable Lobster posted:Dietary aluminium is associated with earlier onset of Alzheimer's. Did they actually make that connection? The last study I read, they'd found aluminum nanoparticles in the plaques that build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, but they hadn't been able to prove any causation one way or the other. The aluminum probably did come from the patients' diets but determining whether it caused the plaques or just built up in them for some reason is a much harder thing to figure out. Anyway, don't eat stuff from AliExpress and don't eat off stuff from AliExpress either! Even if the base material is safe (highly questionable) it's gonna be covered in all sorts of industrial waste and toxic solvents that are banned in the rest of the world. I bought a motorcycle handgrip the other day and you could smell the unmistakable odor of naphthalene through the loving package.

I don't know what the reason is but China loving loves naphthalene. Half the stuff I buy from AliExpress smells like it. When I go to China for work nearly every building smells faintly of it (mothballs, maybe). idgi
