In the wake of this election week's seismic shift, we're going to spend the next three Sundays looking to ground ourselves once more in 1 Corinthians 13:13—“Now faith, hope, and love abide, these three”—in ways that speak to our current situation.Faith isn't a laundry list of six impossible things we have to believe before breakfast. Faith is trust (literally, in the New Testament Greek), and the basis of trust is truth. The Church has to be willing to embrace the truth of our and our neighbors' pain, fear, anger, and grief in this moment, our why should anyone trust us or the God we preach? Saccharine may be sweet, but it's artificial. (1 Corinthians 13:13)Join us Sundays for worship, LIVE! on-site and online via Zoom @ 10am ET.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: There is way too much serendipity, published by Malmesbury on January 19, 2024 on LessWrong. Crossposted from substack. As we all know, sugar is sweet and so are the $30B in yearly revenue from the artificial sweetener industry. Four billion years of evolution endowed our brains with a simple, straightforward mechanism to make sure we occasionally get an energy refuel so we can continue the foraging a little longer, and of course we are completely ignoring the instructions and spend billions on fake fuel that doesn't actually grant any energy. A classic case of the Human Alignment Problem. If we're going to break our conditioning anyway, where do we start? How do you even come up with a new artificial sweetener? I've been wondering about this, because it's not obvious to me how you would figure out what is sweet and what is not. Look at sucrose and aspartame side by side: I can't imagine someone looking at these two molecules and thinking "surely they taste the same". Most sweeteners were discovered in the 20th century, before high-throughput screening was available. So how did they proceed? Let's look into these molecules' origin stories. Aspartame was discovered accidentally by a chemist researching a completely unrelated topic. At some point, he licked his finger to grab a piece of paper and noticed a strong sweet taste. Cyclamate was discovered by a grad student who put his cigarette on his bench, then smoked it again and noticed the cigarette was sweet. (I know what you're thinking. The kind of guy who lights up cigarettes in a chemistry lab and places them in the middle of uncharacterised compounds before taking them to his mouth again, must have died young of an interesting death. I checked - he proceeded to live to the old age of 87.) Saccharine was discovered by a researcher who ate bread without washing his hands and noticed the bread was sweet. Acesulfame K was also discovered serendipitously by a chemist licking his fingers, although the legends don't specify the exact circumstances behind the finger-licking. There's an exception: sucralose was actually the fruit of rational, deliberate design. The researchers reasoned that, if you do slight modifications to sucrose, you could find a molecule that is no longer metabolized but still activates the sweetness receptors. So they started from the formula for sucrose, then made carefully-designed chemical modifications to the structure until Haha, just kidding: While researching novel uses of sucrose and its synthetic derivatives, Phadnis was told to "test" a chlorinated sugar compound. According to an anecdotal account, Phadnis thought Hough asked him to "taste" it, so he did and found the compound to be exceptionally sweet. It is therefore a fact of the world that virtually all the popular synthetic sweeteners were discovered accidentally by chemists randomly eating their research topic.[1] I think this is a suspiciously high amount of serendipity. I see two options: Super-sweet molecules like aspartame are commonplace - there are plenty of molecules hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose, but we only know the few that were ingested by accident, Super-sweet molecules are very rare, it's just that chemists accidentally taste a lot of chemicals. Entire chemistry departments routinely taste the entire space of possible molecules, but they don't notice unless the molecule has a strong taste. To get an idea of how often chemists taste the chemicals they are working with, let's consider how often a molecule taken at random will taste sweet. That's equivalent to asking: how specific are our sweet taste receptors? Low-hanging fruits Why do we have sweet receptors in the first place?

‘Tis the season for holiday treats! While it can be fun to indulge, it's always a good idea to be mindful of our daily sugar intake. Can artificial sweeteners help us with our nutritional goals throughout the holiday season? Susie Swithers, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs in the College of Health and Human Sciences and Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University, gives an overview of different types of artificial sweeteners and discusses potential long term effects from using these sweeteners over regular sugar.

THIS MESSAGE IN PODCAST FORM IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT ADDRESSES WHAT IS WEIGHING HEAVILY ON MOST OF OUR HEARTS, AND IS MOST LIKELY ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ALL PROBABLY QUESTIONING AND PONDERING AT THIS TIME.   By Mary Lindow through the Holy Spirit THIS MESSAGE IN PODCAST FORM IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT ADDRESSES WHAT IS WEIGHING HEAVILY ON MOST OF OUR HEARTS, AND IS MOST LIKELY ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WE ARE ALL PROBABLY QUESTIONING AND PONDERING AT THIS TIME.   There is going to be a time of ministering prophetic words at the end of this message, but the message itself is a prophetic “now timing” word that is burning in my heart. I will share that with you that it is prophetic and has warnings from the Lord as well as encouraging words and insights regarding what we need to be preparing for at this time.    WHAT THE LORD IMPRESSED ME WITH THROUGH THIS PROPHETIC INSIGHT/TEACHING IS THIS, Whenever there is a fresh wave or move of God's Plan in the earth in regard to the redeeming of souls, there is also a counter movement at work among the "religious" and also the prideful “elite” intellectuals of the day. These situations are brought on through the influence of evil spirits who have been assigned to try and destroy the future generations of passionate and unspoiled servants of grace that God would plan to use in the earth. The “Sons and Daughters" of the King.    AS WE BEGIN TO SEE THE DAWNING OF THE PROMISED WAVE OF GOD'S GREATEST HARVEST EVENT EVER KNOWN TO MAN SINCE THE BIRTH OF CHRIST JESUS, THE LORD IS GOING TO ALLOW THE "HEROD TYPE OF ATTITUDES" TO BE JUSTLY ADDRESSED. There are those who were once deeply a part of what God was doing and have “lost" that so called advantage to either the aging process, transition in ministry, or through focusing strictly on their own ministry advancement and the love for “public applause” and popularity.   HONESTLY! YOU WOULD THINK THAT AS WE ARE SEEING BIOLOGICAL GLOBAL WAR AND INFILTRATION TAKING PLACE,that the Body of Christ would stop all programs and plans, and be sober! Sober, Repenting for Passivity and Indifference to God's warning voice, and then be literally having every meeting or gathering focused on strong prayer, strong worship, lifted up to the God of all creation, which is a massive weapon of warfare against the evil shroud attempting to suffocate the planet.     HOW CAN WE EXPLAIN THIS WAVE OF THE LOSS OF SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT AND POWER?  HOW DOES THE DEVIL STEAL THE VERY HEART OUT OF THE CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE?   One thing is certain. It doesn't happen suddenly or overnight.   PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LOVE FOR THE TRUTH BY DEGREES. Little by little, they lower their standards and compromise their faith, until nothing remains except a dead, empty, angry and bitter form.   SOME, LIKE LOT'S WIFE, will be so married to the world, so enmeshed in its delicious intellectual and sociological "one-upmanship" that they cannot let go in time. They will have to suffer with terrible and shocking consequences over the things that they loved more than they loved God.   OTHERS LIKE LOT, will awaken just in time to choose very quickly and decisively. Without taking a backward glance, they will move out in complete obedience to the will of God. My friends. This is the choice everyone faces.   LOT'S WIFE SUFFERED TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES WHEN SHE PLAYED WITH THE WORD OF A HOLY GOD. She was dragging her feet and resented having to leave the life she had grown to adore in every way. The offense of looking back upon the luxury, sensual and "modernized" lifestyle that she had grown to love, exposed her divided will. It also revealed the fact that her heart was still bound up with the affairs of a corrupt and condemned social order.   TWO VOICES WERE COMPETING FOR HER FAITHFULNESS AND STEADFASTNESS IN THE FACE OF TEMPTATION.   The Voice of heaven – the Voice of God, calling her to liberty, purity, and salvation. And the other voice? The voice of the darkness – the voice of popularity and pleasure, the voice of Sodom. Slowly the voice from beneath gained a foothold in a badly bent conscience… … and Lot's wife stands as a tragic example of a divided heart.   JESUS SAID, "REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE," AND HE SAID IT TO THOSE WHO WOULD LIVE THROUGH THE FINAL TRAUMATIC MOMENTS OF EARTH'S HISTORY. He is saying it to the believer right now–"Remember Lot's wife." We need to hear it again and again. The message that says, "Obedience is better than anything else in revealing our love." Jesus said so. "If you love me, keep my commandments."   FRIENDS. DISOBEDIENCE IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS AN ACT OF DISLOYALTY IN ITS VERY NATURE.   THERE IS A STATEMENT I ONCE HEARD THAT SAID, “PEOPLE BECOME LIKE THE GOD THEY SERVE.” Now think about that statement. And then think about the current world system and those attempting to encroach upon every human being until they are worn down.   Science without the Supreme Being God Almighty, the Creator, worships the counterfeit god. Lucifer.   God:  He is a Super Dynamic Creative. He Created Colors, Light, Air, Weather Systems of perfection, Land, Minerals, Water (salt and not salty), plants of all sorts/ medicinal, edible, sheltering, and some simply for beauty. God Delighted in the creation and nurturing of perfectly formed humans, whom He loves.   Lucifer:  The counter fitter, is super destructive, destroys colors, loves grey and darkness, thrives on destroying land, Minerals, waters, abusing plants and delights in torturing and confusing humans for revenge against God Almighty.  He loves false power and graft.   Do you see those or know those who laugh at or who don't believe in a living active God? Well, they are trapped in a bitter heart narrative by the limited god of only this world. Lucifer. They have become like him. Bitter, abusive, angry that they can't dictate to God and change his plans, and they are filled with doubts and rage. Because that's what Lucifer does to humans. He lies to them and traps their minds, and weakens them to keep them from encountering and embracing the Father of their very own, forever.   “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” -2 Corinthians 11:14   “In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God the Father.” -2 Corinthians 4:4   SOME OF THE EVIL SPIRITS LUCIFER USES, COME AND TAUNT THOSE WITH OLD RELIGIOUS RESIDUAL MINDSETS.  Those who feel that there is a "deserved" spiritual hierarchy, in the ranks of the King. Many have assumed that because they have labored and have paved the pathway with their life's blood for the next wave of the King, that they “deserve a place of special recognition” and a form of "holding onto the leash" of those they have coming up “underneath” them.  If this is not humbly acknowledged and repented of, this can cause what the scripture calls, “exasperating your children" to occur. Colossians. 3:21 says, “Fathers, do not exasperate your children,  That they may not lose heart.”  This creates an atmosphere of shame and pushes many into a place of frustration in not wanting to dishonor their mentors, but feel that they will be watched in their every move and smugly, with an “accusing raising of the eyebrows" be "discussed" in demeaning terms, as they too try to reach their destinies and calling in the Way of the Lord.    THE LORD HAS RECENTLY BEEN IMPRESSING ME ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO BE PROMOTED OR TO RISE ABOVE THEM IN ANY AREA THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE EITHER AT ONE TIME HELD INFLUENCE IN OR WHO ARE AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME, THE LEAD OR MAIN VOICE OR AN ORGANIZATION, A MINISTRY, OR INSTITUTION.   This can occur in a business situation, or in ministry settings where only after you have jumped through certain hoops of performance or other "tests” you will possibly then be esteemed of “useful” value and perhaps be allowed a place of input or respect among the “hierarchy of the day”.    THE LORD IS LOVINGLY ALLOWING PAINFUL TRAVAIL TO OCCUR, in order for the current generation of Fathers and Mothers in the faith to see that through releasing and affirming the sons and daughters in their care, or… who are now, (due to the season) moving past them in influence or in special anointing, that they too WILL once again, run hard and multiply themselves through Imparting and sending out the new wave of the King's regiments!     ARE WE OR HINDERING OR HARVESTING? The hidden prophetic and travailing element of individuals who are being shaped into the fabric of God's own weaving are currently being made ready for a swift and dynamic change of pace. What was once long and hard will become shortened and filled with rest. Release of God's grace and abundant mercy is coming into fulfillment as you end your course of instructions for this season. But you are not done running the race by a long stretch!   MANY OF YOU ARE IN YOUR LATE 40'S TO YOUR MID 60'S. You have not had the pleasure of faithful mentoring. So. With some of you, the Lord has instead, made your life one of mentoring and preparing others. Look now at the pathway the Lord has allowed you to pave, and one that others might walk upon when they too experience times of darkness and difficulty. Your lives have a Divine Radiance that has prepared a “footing" for them in Christ, so that they may not stumble and fail. Lay down the insecure need to control anything that you are afraid might not go the way that YOU think God should be moving. It's really not up to us to maneuver or manipulate how God will choose to break out in power in conviction and in exposing the darkness in men's hearts. Let's begin with letting Him create clean hearts in us first.   THE FATHER IN HEAVEN INTENTIONALLY STRIPPED HIMSELF OF HIS GREATEST GLORY. HIS SON, in order that the wave of redemption needed in the earth might be brought forth through the Son. In doing so, the Father was glorified, exalted, and further honored by allowing this Son to fulfill His part of the Triune plan.  Why is this not modeled by more of those who are calling themselves, Leaders, “Bishops”  - Apostles, or even now the newly developed term, “Super Apostles”?   THIS IS A SPIRIT ON THE LOOSE FROM HELL!  It is nothing more than a "mimic" of the spirit of pride that Lucifer operated in, and it operates in many others now. It has been working hard to invade the minds of many who at one time were in the forefront of specific moves of God or who were key leaders in areas of ministry building in the past.   THIS SPIRIT OPERATES MUCH LIKE HOW HEROD THE GREAT DID DURING THE TIME WHEN THE SAVIOR WAS ABOUT TO BE BORN IN THE EARTH. Herod was so terribly afraid that someone would "snuff him out" or would "out do" him that he lived in paranoia, and he constantly manipulated and curried favor in order to gain influence or access to whatever he needed to keep his stronghold of power intact.   THIS IS OCCURRING ON NATURAL WORLD GOVERNMENTAL STAGES AND PARALLELED IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD AS WELL. Let's read in the Word about this first. In Matthew 2:1-6 is says, “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."  When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:   “But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel. “   HEROD WAS A MAN WHO EXPECTED OTHERS TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE WAS THE ONE WHO HELD ALL COMMAND.  There was no room at the table for those who would not sway his way! He used smooth talk with other "Kings" and influential leaders to obtain information and tasty morsels of gossip to plan his next move in order to keep his position intact. As the Chief Priest and keepers of the law were called together, (they walked on eggshells around Herod,) the WORD of God spoke about this humble little town where a new ruler was to be “raised up"  (NOTE THIS STATEMENT) —> and would care for the people, causing a wave of Spiritual “Sonic Booms” that would forever shake and change the world!   HEROD DIDN'T CARE FOR PEOPLE!  They were supposed to care for him and fear him! And grovel! He had worked hard and had jousted and manipulated constantly to gain all of this power and honor! Matthew Ch. 2: 7-8  says, "Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared.   He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful search for the child.  As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”   NOTICE THAT HEROD GATHERED THE 3 KINGS INTO HIS CHAMBERS “SECRETLY”…  ...To hide his plan from the Priests and lawmakers and with a "slimy" oozing, well-cultivated and deceptive tongue, tried to appear ever so interested in the new "child" that was in his way. He acted out in false humility, and used it to try to obtain information as to where his "upstart enemy" might be located. He wanted to "at least" honor him and worship him too!  In all reality, Herod wanted to go and scope out where this new king might live, and see what he had to compete with… … and then, KILL HIM.   But! God had planned that the next wave of his power on the earth must come through a childlike and poor son. One who would not get stuck in traditional posturing or in the trends of the era. One who would not manipulate with intellect, cunningness, or through lofty ambition.   GOD HAD GIVEN OF HIS SEED… …HIS living prepared pathway.  He gave it ALL into the next "generation of His Presence" and the move of His glory in the earth.  Into a SON…  …Who had lived in the very Presence of God and was one with Him.   Now! About Those, ”THREE WISE MEN." "After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was." -Matthew 2:9    These three Kings had "heard the true intentions" of King Herod's "heart". They were discerning men, and realized that after having been "hauled off" by Herod to a very secretive meeting to inquire about this new "ministry" and possible challenger of Herod's rule, something was a little off beat! Herod had left a very "Saccharine" aftertaste in the mouths of the Wise men and, wisely, they still stayed on the course that God had led them on and met the TRUE KING OF GLORY. He was lowly, He was innocent and pure, and He radiated the pure light and presence of God Himself.    THESE MEN DIDN'T NEED POMP OR STRONG-ARMED, PRIDEFUL LEADERSHIP to cause them to bow down and give honor to this tiny King! No! The simple humility of the "Promise to come" was enough to cause them to bow their knees and worship the King of heaven. Their reward was to have a visitation in their dreams to not return, nor to converse with Herod about the new wave of glory that would be coming through this child. Matthew 2:12 “And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.”    I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU A PROPHETIC WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT NOW. SOMETHING THAT I FEEL THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS GIVEN TO ME AS A PROPHETIC WORD OR UTTERANCE.    “For I the Lord have prodded, whispered, shouted, and commanded many to assist you in paving the way. If you are weary of waiting for releases and the fulfilled promise, take what you now have and in reckless abandonment cast it upon the water. I will see to it that you will not be left with empty hands.   I bless what is little if it is given in humility and obedience, rather than much given in false humility and personal safety. Come to the place of safety! Under My shadowed wing.   Anguish has been your companion too long as well as the gaping ache for friends that stick closer than a brother.  I have begun building relationships among you that stem from brokenness in each of you, and also where you have learned the value of discretion. See Me fulfill and direct your path.  Watch the answers dawn upon your list of asked, and yet unanswered questions.    I see the cunning liars in the world, laying in wait to trap and break the hearts of humanity! But I have called you to be bold and brave and filled with courage. I call you to stand again and stand against the raging seas of evil and watch me open up a way that leads you into safety and my very purposes for the world needing healing and deliverance. Stop all you can in the natural way of achievements and moving forward with your own way and plans. Call for days and nights of prayer. Father, Mother, Youth, Children! Older and Younger!   Intercede for those mocking the very Jesus they once loved. Intercede for the ignorant that are being chained to systems of great fear and bondage. Weep and pray and trust! Your bond to me will either hold you safe, or your resistance to me will feed fear and resentment. See ME as the One who can move upon the hearts of those who quickly obey when I touch their inner-man with compassion and spiritual insights.  I have a few in the earth who live...   ...To obey Me, Promptly."    I also sense in the Spirit that there are those in ministry who are listening, who have had “secret - almost affairs", in their office with other women, and some who have, and you have hidden it from your wife and have banished these people from your fellowship. The Lord sees it and the Lord knows about it. There are some who have been “absconding with money” and some that have been gambling with cash. They have a gambling addiction and the Father is saying that He is giving them a chance to come clean and to tell the truth now, because everything in your life that can be shaken, will be shaken. There are also those who are mocking and making fun of the Spirit of God, saying that it has become “an old thing” and they are ashamed of the gifts of the Spirit. They no longer allow the flowing of the gifts of the Spirit unless it comes through one person. The Father wants you to know that when you restrain the Spirit of God, when you restrain His voice, that he will scatter the sheep and send them where there is freedom. The Lord is encouraging me to share that there are some at this point who are seeking money instead of the goodness of the people in their fellowship. They are more concerned about money and power and keeping their own bank account stoked rather that taking care of the Orphans and Widows and those who are in distress around them. The Lord wants you to know that this funding that you have in your pocket can get a hole in it just as quickly as it has come in, but, as you cast your bread, as you share, that you must humble yourself and release the spirit of fear in you that thinks that God will not financially provide in another way, or you are going to mess it up, you will bring tragedy on the call of God on your life.  I want to speak to those Mothers who are suffering right now and Fathers with children who seem to have gone AWOL from the Lord. That they have become literally “verbal activists” for darkness.    As parents, you have been questioning, “What did we do? What did we say? Were we too stern? Were we too soft? Were we too “spiritual” or were we not spiritual enough? Were we blind?”   The Lord wants you to know that if you have repented of everything that you know to do, and have attempted to talk these things out with your children, that He does not hold you accountable for their sins or for their disobedience. Your job is to stand and pray, and stand and pray, and stand and pray some more and watch God do the work. You cannot project what you think that He is going to do. Your job is to PRAY. His job is to do what He sees best to keep them from giving in, to the total darkness that is trying to suck them in.    I KNOW THAT THIS WAS A STRONG TEACHING AND HAD WORDS THAT WERE UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT WE ARE LIVING IN TREACHEROUS AND DIFFICULT TIMES. However, we need to be integral with what the Lord shares with us whether people like us, or not.   Father we take these words and we ponder and chew on them. We discern them and go over them with your word. We pray about them. And, we will obey the Spirit promptly and make things right with those we need to, in order to not deflect these warnings and words and be trapped by the enemy. Satan is good at betrayal and slandering and will find a way to expose mankind and point a finger and mock the sons of God. Lord! We need you more than we have ever needed you before!   Duplication and sharing of this message is welcomed provided that complete message, Podcast and website information for Mary Lindow is included.

'I have a really wonderful group of people who I work with to create things I think are really quite sellable', says Designer / Fashion Editor / Illustrator Mimi Wade, in conversation with Writer / Editor / Broadcaster Lara Johnson-Wheeler. 'I just ask myself, is that something that people would want? And how much is it worth?' Constantly inspired by old movies and her Hollywood grandmother Granny Pammy, to collaborate with Warner Bros. was a dream come true for Mimi Wade. Coming together for her first major catwalk show, the collection featured elevated versions of styles the London-based designer's fans have come to know and love. Saccharine silk slips and marabou trimmed cardigans joined printed pieces in a menagerie of Miminess, injecting the fun, sex and joie de vivre into her label that Mimi Wade always maintains. Mimi founded her eponymous label after studying fashion print at Central Saint Martins in 2015 and debuted her work - intricately hand painted leather party dresses - with Lulu Kennedy's incubator programme Fashion East in 2016. Alongside creating and illustrating garments, Mimi is Tatler's Contributing Fashion Editor and (in pre-pandemic times, of course) was regularly papped at parties, sporting her own designs. In this episode of The Fashion Slashie: A ClickerMe Podcast, Mimi and Lara discuss her unique approach to collaboration with big brands including Polly Pocket, MAC and Warner Bros and the rollercoaster ride of carving out her own position in today's shifting fashion system. ClickerMe is the fashion network, helping creatives connect and collaborate better. https://clickerme.com/ The Fashion Slashie: A ClickerMe podcast has been recorded remotely, due to circumstances inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Crazy Tuesday! Happy Tuesday everyone! We hope everyone is staying dry on this wet one! Today we are grateful to have Shawn Wells with us for the full hour! Let's jump right in! Shawn Wells Shawn Wells, MPH, LDN, RD, CISSN, FISSN is an expert in the fields of performance nutrition, longevity, fitness and supplementation. He earned his master’s degree from UNC-Chapel Hill, where he studied nutritional biochemistry with a minor in exercise science. Shawn is a Registered Dietitian with a decade of experience as a Chief Clinical Dietitian in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. He is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and has worked with celebrity clients and professional athletes. Sugar We as Americans consume 160 pounds of sugar annually! That’s a full human weight's worth of sugar! Sugar is marketed to children, young adults, and it lies in all kinds of food and drink. We are absolutely addicted to sugar! Physiologically we can go through withdrawals just like in heroin or alcohol. No fear though, addiction to sugar can be reversed! Use exercise as a way to earn a sugary treat. Make a connection between working out and satiating treats! By doing this, we create a positive new neural-pathway in our brain! Royal honey is one of Shawn’s favorite supplements. Royal honey is the honey that is only meant for the Queen Bee, because it contains a rich source of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are not always bad! Try and get your carbohydrates from supplements like royal honey instead of sugar rich carbs like white bread. There are studies that show when we consume a sweet beverage, people consume 300-500 calories more in their meal. That’s calories in addition to the calories in your drink! Sugar drives consumption. Added flavors are engineered to make us overeat. Instead of finishing the whole fancy “sweet heat” almond bag, have a handful of raw almonds.  Saccharine is the worst! For so long, Bernadette and many others were adding the little pink packet to our unsweetened tea and thinking we were okay! Monk fruit and stevia are the two best non sugar sweeteners on the market. The sweeteners ending in “OL” can hurt your gut microbiome and spike your blood sugar. Stick to monk fruit and stevia. Be aware that monk fruit and stevia is being so engineered that you are losing your basic compounds. The best bet is to simply find low sugar snacks, and to stay away from sweeteners as much as you can.  Thank You! A big thank you to our guest and expert formulator, Shawn Wells.

After a quick hiatus, we're back with a new interview! Sam Stucky talks about his latest album Saccharine in this episode.

Saccharine, Aspartame, Acesulfame-K, Neotame, Advantame, Sucralose. Even the names sound a little scary. What's a real fright, however, is what these "diet" sugar substitutes are doing in your body. The potential side effects from some of these chemicals are still being explored. Aspartame, for example, has been connected to seizures, headaches and migraines, among other medical issues. In this episode of the Four Pillar Fitness podcast, I'm looking at the damage these chemicals can do. Looming large among this is the impact on your gut bacteria from ingesting these chemicals. New research reveals that even minimal amounts of these chemicals can severely damage your gut microbes. Since your microbiome is intimately involved in lots of body functions, including digestion, mood, stress response and muscle and body recovery, you want your gut microbes healthy and happy! Listen and learn what researchers have found. You'll also hear about the connection between artificial sweeteners and diabetes and how they even impact the environment. As always, your thoughts and comments are welcome! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/four-pillar-fitness/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/four-pillar-fitness/support

On this episode of The Light-Skinned Opinions Podcast the fellas discuss the softer and sweeter side of things:     -The Demar DeRozan trade.   -Hollywood and sports Legacies, do they matter?   -What do Instagram workouts mean?   -Could D Wade leave for China before he gets a farewell tour?   Listen, Rate, Subscribe!!!!!  

Dottie rescues Captain Maro, Saccharine the Spider-Monkey says a word about her product and we're proud to introduce yet another story in the tired old “lovesick nun” trope.

Artificial sweeteners date back to the 19th century, but the same sweeteners in your food are also used in the manufacture of everything from rubber to paint.   If you don't think bellying up for a big plate of steel-belted radials sounds good, the same principle applies to artificial sweeteners. Worse, even some sweeteners marketed as all-natural are just as bad for you.  

A Very Special Podcast for those who love, hate, or love to hate sentimental Christmas movies. https://archive.org/download/seasonofsaccharine_episode11/episode11.mp3 That’s a wrap on our first season! Thank you all for listening. Thank you to our three guest-friends, Geni, Alex and Reed, for being the real stars. Thank you Kevin MacLeod for the wonderful Christmas music. Thank you, […]

Sugar-coated pop delights, filtered trhough my own idosyncratic, hermetic music consumption

Sugar could be described as a pure carbohydrate, used all around the world to sweeten food. Most people are unaware of how many varieties of sugar are available.Conventional sugar is mainly obtained from the juice of sugar cane, but can also be made from the sucrose of the sugar beet.There are alternative sweeteners such as bee’s honey, date sugar, palm sugar and maple sugar (obtained from maple tree sap). And of course, there are countless sugar substitutes, from the highly artificial ‘Saccharine’ to the natural ‘Stevia’, which also comes from a plant.There are a few different types of the cane variety of sugar which can be attributed to the level of refinement. One of the least refined is raw sugar, which has been coloured with molasses.The most common and all-purpose sugar is bleached white granulated sugar, but it can’t be used in some baking.Therefore, it is refined further into the smaller caster sugar crystals. Further grinding of white sugar produces a powder called icing sugar. Icing sugar is used in cake decorating and to sweeten cream, as it dissolves instantly.One of my favourites for bakery is raw caster sugar, which has a richer flavour than the white caster.Salted Butterscotch SauceWhen I think of cooking with sugar, I can’t go past the rich and decadent salted butterscotch sauce. It’s incredibly easy to make and can be served with almost any dessert, such as sticky date pudding, deep fried ice-cream or bread and butter pudding.•200mlcream•180gbrown sugar•70gbutter•15mlvanilla extract•pinchsalt1.Combine the cream, sugar and butter in a saucepan and heat until it starts to boil.2.Remove from the heat and whisk until completely emulsified. 3.At this stage you could add a dash of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for depth of flavour. 4.Or, for an interesting twist, stir in a couple of spoons of peanut butter – yum!

A desperate denial of the very real end of summer, offered to you in the form of a mixtape.

I am happy to present another dose of shiny, happy poptasticness. Hey, Spring, how you doin'?

Sweet and fluffy like cotton candy. This episode is all about pure, poppy, chewing satisfaction. Give the finger to Autumn, turn it up and dance around all silly.

Brevity this day my loyal readers. A busted keyboard and little to prattle on about means that original text is at a premium and I shan't bother with the niceties. So welcome to 2008 and enjoy two hours of some selected tracks. Like a very special after school special I hope that we can all learn a very important lesson from what just happened. And so, drugs are bad (or at least expensive), you don't need friends like that, and, of course, time is precious. Oh so precious - I wouldn't read this verbiage I spew grab the tracks and go do something for christ's sake.Lets get started.1) Sargasso Trio - Heels on FireJust about perfect. And this is the stand out track of the ol' cast. buy2) The Field - Fall From A Height (Remix)Tied and Tickled Trio - Aelita 1The much ballyhooed Swedes in rough mix with the post jazz of the trio.3) B.C. Camplight - Soy Tonto!A masterful piece of eclecticity by a man I can really identify with.buy4) Lisa Portelli - A Mon MeubleI don't know French but I know what I like.5 ) Chromeo - Fancy FootworkThe best electro-pop funk educated 2 step duo since the 80's. 6) Vampire Weekend - Oxford CommaAnd their back for a second track. Less Paul Simon more lerft field.7) The Magnetic Fields - Three-WayThe opening track on their new album is this stellar piece of heavy drenched erotic propulsuion. buy8) Enon - Mirror on You  (site not epileptic safe) Need more noise and this time with lyrics? Another opening track.buy9) The Shermans - DumbheadLet's bring it down with this jangle pop series of insults.10) David Vandervelde - Nothin’ NoAnd let's bring in the fuzz with some psychedelic retrospective on the pressing interests of love.11) The Whitsundays - Sorry JamesLet us know put that to the task of age.12) Dr. Dog - Ain’t It StrangeTo close this set let's get a bit of Beatles-esque revival. Oh that is nice - a balm on the frazzled soul it is. 13) Tunng - BulletsIs it a narrative, a survivalist trope on the dangers of forgetting and trying? A rumination on loss and life? A spectacular folksie sing along? yes14) Steve Dawson - Fun Machine OneGet up and jig now. An open plain and ample night clothe this track and bring the guitar a quality of lyrical fire. 15) Miss Li - I’m Sorry, He’s Mine"And it started like love should. I tole him from my best friend." Doesn't get any straighter than that.16) Patrick and Eugene - Postcard From SummerisleOh that is nice piece of weird right there. Electronica can't do no wrong.17) Midnight Juggernauts - Dragonette's I Get Around (Remix) A solid bass bin kick is elemental to any good groove. The vocal samples with additional reworking takes the head bop and hand dance into pure pop infection territory.18) DJ Logic feat. Miri Ben-AriA very ambient track of Logic working with the instrumental hip hop violinist Ben-Ari. 19) Mandragora - La Cumparsita (Tango Christ Superstar)A re-working (orgaicmash-up, jazz riff, etc) of the Cumparsita with Jesus Christ Superstar's bassline. Encore!20) Hungry Marching Band - Gde Si BreThis lively outfit just did a show that I missed. My greatest regret of the year so far. Coincidentally how cool is the album name: "Portable Soundtracks for Temporary Utopias"? 21) Lou Reed - Perfect DayMr. Reed just keeps getting better and by the gods of if this track hasn't aged half as well as the rest than the geometrical growth of goodness shall soon outstrip the entire catalog of crooning whelps of the present day. Saccharine pop bullshit and all.22) Kerkko Koskinen - Sparkling ArsenicA whirlwind orchestral set of the ex-Ultra Bra-ist with the Umo Jazz Orchestra. Sounds like Yoko Kanno with a spy movie OST.23) Mariee Sioux - Wizard Flurry HomeHaunting and hurt - chills all around. But the warm instrumentation and rhythmic lyricism saves it from being a melancholic dirge or sap fest all to common in these tropes.24) Mekons - Dickie, Chalky and Nobbyoh I needed this.25) George Bush - ImagineDon't forget to register to vote people.26) Grails - Silk rdAnd this PDX track to give me a little room to breath before I go claustrophobic shit for brains insane on the closed in breathing that I feel when I think of the next 366 days.27) Emir Kusturica & No Smoking Orchestra - Who killed the D.J.Alas the song is too solid for the fog of memory to be contained in only by the original release and has spawned from the first the denizens of strange continents interjoined by oddity and inspiration.28) MC5 - Kick out the JamsJust what I needed to get the old blood sloshing around these old collapsed and bruised tubes to half aspirated ventricles and world weary capillaries. Join me now for the head long rush into what is bound to be a spectacular year.image from:Dick TracyBacking tracks:Band Of Horses - Is there a ghostBe Mine (Ocelot Mthrfckrs Remix)Pratique - Death for Blushing Roguemini mix nineDigitalism  - Idealism Xiu Xiu - I Do What I Want When I WantBlur - Country House
