You over think things . You should learn to just go with the flow on some issues and stop trying to apply logic or scientific knowledge on every damn thing. You think here is very unnecessary. There is no science in what he is saying. Except maybe the part that protein-rich foods are considered acidic. 1 Like |

and no, Balanced diet is a scam that either sends you to the hospital for treatment or to your grave
Because carbohydrate SHOULD NEVER be consumed with protein
Why?
Carbohydrates= Alkaline food
Protein= Acidic food
Guess what happens whenn you mix alkaline and Acid
It neutralizes!
Your combo of bread+ egg, rice + beans, rice + chicken, beer + chicken...all sending you ti the grave slowly ![shocked](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/shocked.gif)
You'd think your schools and hospitals would teach you this already
The classification of all carbohydrates as alkaline and all proteins as acidic is an oversimplification. Carbohydrate grains can be acidic (e.g., pasta, white bread). When you mix alkaline and acidic substances, they can neutralize each other to some extent. However, this is also another oversimplification. The body maintains a tightly regulated pH balance through various mechanisms. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Now what does science Tell us about Eba/ Fufu Digestion?
Digestion of carbohydrate BEGINS IN THE MOUTH FIRST
This means your eba and Fufu have to be thoroughly exposed to saliva(pytalin) which is found in the mouth
BUT YOU ROLL YOUR EBA AND FUFU INTO A BALL!
HOW IS THE SALIVA GOING TO WORK WHEN THE SURFACE AREA OF YOUR EBA/FUFU MOULD won't allow it to properly
still typing
Salivary amylase in ptyalin is not the only amylase. Pancreatic amylase is available and more abundant, and most of the starch digestion is done by pancreatic amylase. Besides, salivary amylase has a short contact time with starchy food, so I would not expect much; and as it gets into the stomach when swallowed, it is deactivated by the acidity of gastric juices. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Politics / Is Corruption In Nigeria A Problem Of Politicians Or The Justice System? by lomaxx: 5:28pm On Jul 10 |
I think the active participation of corrupt politicians in government is an indictment of the criminal justice system, and not necessarily the politicians (based on the legal principle of presumption of innocence).
If the politicians have corrupted the justice system, it still doesn’t change the liability of the stakeholders within the justice system.
So the question remains: is corruption in Nigeria a problem that politicians created and sustained or is it a problem of the justice system ? |

Lord show enlightenment to your kids MBBS is the safest career choice you can make. You will "cash out" from the degree till you leave this earth, if you want to. I worked in tech for a while. Enjoyed the money, and the fast paced work environment. But there is just this thing about medicine. If you get it, you get it. When you get to a certain level in life, money becomes a constant. At that level, those around you will relate based on personal attainments. Well, if that is what matters. Meanwhile, there is a "pandemic" of job losses in tech.

There's nothing new under the sun. If it was an intentional deceut on the part of the man, then that was not fair. She definitely should feel cheated. But could be the man was ashamed. However there are solutions to this. They simply need to go for marriage counselling. Sometimes I wonder if people think. A woman was intentionally deceived into a marriage by someone with a micropenis and you’re here saying the solution is marriage counseling. The marriage was built in deceit.

Health / Re: How Soon Does Lab Test Detect HIV Infection After Being Exposed? by lomaxx: 9:18am On Aug 23, 2023 |
DoctorAyukebot:
The Cambridge Dictionary defines exposure as the state of having no protection from something harmful. In the case of Covid people were required to wear masks and social distance irrespective of wether it was obvious the parties around were positive or not.
I don't know if you in the health field but there is a non Occupational Post Exposure Prophylaxis treatment known as nPrEP recommended by the WHO in 2013 to be offered to victims of rape. In most cases the victims dont need to proof whoever raped them was HIV positive. So long as the degree of sexual assault is deemed risky based on the exchange of certain fluids, they get administered Post Exposure Treatment. So yes each time you have unprotected sex with someone whose HIV status you can't ascertain, you get exposed to their bodily fluids and Potentially Exposed to HIV and other STD's Now you’re just pandering. |
Health / Re: How Soon Does Lab Test Detect HIV Infection After Being Exposed? by lomaxx: 2:56pm On Aug 22, 2023 |
DoctorAyukebot:
In the case of HIV, having unprotected sex with anyone whose HIV status you can't ascertain as of the time of the sexual encounter is an exposure. Even more damning is the fact that once you sleep with someone whose status you can't ascertain it means in principle you have slept with everyone the have slept with Nah. Science is science whether it’s HIV or Covid-19. HIV Exposure means one has been in contact with the virus but cannot ascertain whether they have been infected. Case in point: HIV Exposed Infants. They are exposed because they are in contact with an HIV-infected mother. Contact with body fluids of an infected person is the only way to get the virus, why should the definition of HIV exposure via sexual intercourse be different? 2 Likes |

Once thozs rules are violated, the one who caused the violation is the one said to have no love in the relationship. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)

Please stop this is I am from South South, we don't expect you to like everyone from the south South, GEJ saw how much the subsidy was costing the government and took the decision to remove it, this same people you all are supporting stood and said know, we almost had a regime change because of that, Tinubu came up with formula that you can't remove all of it at once, but gradually and the money saved should be shown to Nigerians what it was used for.
Now same Tinubu has abandoned his on formula and suggestions to GEJ, but rather remove everything ones without any plans on how the masses would manage the great change.
That's what I call hypocrisy, including you playing the tribe card here, we should clap for you because you are from South South and you don't support GEJ, is that the issues here now is everyone not suffering from it, please look at issues like a Nigerian, we don't care about your tribe or location.

N3TRAL: I'm a bonafide south south boy but let's face it- based on those figures, APC no too chop Nigeria's money.
What Jonathan's administration spent for subsidy for 4 years is almost double what Buhari spent for 7 years.
If you divide Buhari's figure, it is lower than what Yaradua spent in 2 years and what Obasanjo spent in a year.
APC may have its problems but you have to admit that their subsidy figure is the lowest in the history of Nigeria.
The data also shows that Buhari's major problem may not have been misappropriation of funds but he couldn't run the economy well. The percentage the naira fell during Buhari's era is scary. What you are saying does not make sense because it was the same Jonathan administration that removed subsidy BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY LEAKAGES. If you had an iota of sense, what you should be asking is: if Nigerians allowed Jonathan to remove subsidy in 2012, what would the net gains be? 1 Like |
