That depends on culture. All camelia s. teas have it (green etc) but almost none of common herbal teas in Europe have it (chamomile, menta, sage etc.) They are not called casually teas.

Looking further into it, it seems that we simply don't know much about it, but as I pointed out earlier there is measurable waste disposal. You can imagine that precise knowledge is difficult to measure as it probably must be done separately by each waste product.

This review from 2019 states:

> However, the effectiveness of sweat glands as an excretory organ for homeostatic purposes is currently unclear as there are no comprehensive reviews on this topic.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23328940.2019.1...

It also mentions stuff similar to the things you wrote:

> The role of sweating to eliminate waste products and toxicants seems to be minor compared with other avenues of excretion via the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract; as eccrine glands do not adapt to increase excretion rates either via concentrating sweat or increasing overall sweating rate. Studies suggesting a larger role of sweat glands in clearing waste products or toxicants from the body may be an artifact of methodological issues rather than evidence for selective transport.

However, the problem here is that normal sweating is taken into account, but discussion here is about sauna/exercise in which case sweating waste products approach kidney flux rates (which is why people do those things to detoxify) - human can easily sweat 1.5L per hour in that case, which is comparable to daily pee volume, and there are measurements regarding sweat composition that show comparable waste excretion:

    | Substance | Sweat (1h) | Urine (24h) |
    | --------- | ---------- | ----------- |
    | Urea      | ~0.3–1.2 g | ~20–30 g    |
    | Lead      | ~5–50 µg   | ~10–50 µg   |
    | Arsenic   | ~10–60 µg  | ~20–200 µg  |

So, I wouldn't dismiss based on current knowledge, and besides, this has no practical importance even if so, as sauna has the number of other measurable benefits.

Otherwise, I agree with you regarding focus - liver should be treated as sanctuary.

Actually, this is why one shouldn't believe HN comments about medicine. The quality is this low.

This is simply laughable and very easily checked out. Here is one random study:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00244-010-9611-5

> Many toxic elements appeared to be preferentially excreted through sweat

Here is another quick one

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1155/2012/184745

> Sweating deserves consideration for toxic element detoxification.

Its even observable directly - just go next to the heavy smoker during exercise.

While it might be less than dedicated organs, the skin is the largest organ by far.

Ofc, the topic is debated like every single thing in medicine, but calling it a myth is nonsence.

> Start by explaining how there can be any experience at all after an hour without oxygen to the brain.

Some cells are still technically alive after 1 hour mark in the sense that there is no necrosis and cell membrane is still operating. This depends on cell type and nourishment - for example cells that have high amount of CoQ10 can live longer etc.

In any case, brain is definitely NOT 100% dead in a sense that ALL of its cells are necrotic which might explain why it is in a dream like state.

Also, I doubt 1 hour mark is regular thing in NDE.

> we are throwing so much resources at something that we already know we can do.

No, "we" knew how to do it with 10x more money and people on the board, in a very unsafely manner. It was a few times muscle flex and thats why it stopped.

Making entire thing routine, cheap and safe is something else, and "we" don't know yet how to do that, or we would have at least few scientists constantly on the Moon.

It's a difference between running a marathon and dropping dead, and doing it all the time.

> we have ...[other]... problems

This kind of thinking is nonsensical. With so many people around, there can be arbitrary group of people working on any kind of problem, without them needing to point to other groups as doing imaginary problems. You talk like unless everybody works on solving specific problem, its not going to get solved. Life simply doesn't work that way, mythical man month explained it well why for one, and then, you can't know what unexplored spaces bring (maybe game changing discoveries).

> I think that self-replication, and ability to harvest chemicals and energy from the environment to make more of what you're built of, is the point of complexification of chemistry that is best considered as the most primitive form of life

Once there are forms that harvest and self-replicate, however, its expectable that there will be forms that delegate those features to others, like viruses. Cellular machinery that is required to implement those feature is not free, so parasitic forms would have survival advantage.
