You might be interested in the Firefox Extension "Tree Style Tab". I can't live without it and refuse to use any browser that can't offer any similar experience.

> I meant that sugar causes cancer through obesity, not that there's an intermediate step between sugar and obesity.

Yes, I understood that. However this is new information for me. Where did you get that?

> Most studies do differentiate between unprocessed and processed red meat. And the correlation is fairly strong, […]

Where are those studies? In vivo? In humans?

> […] not to mention the rest of health effects that a diet high in red meat is associated with.

You mean greater longevity, better mental health (less depression, less anxiety, …), better cognitive function?

> Do you really think it's easier to take out sugar of your diet?

Let's say processed sugar. And with "easy" I meant - that you won't suffer any negative health effects in the long term. If you stop eating something and in consequence suffer from malnutrition then that won't be "easy" to keep up in the long term.

> Well, sugar needs an intermediate step to cause cancer, obesity, […]

I have never heard of this. Where did you get this? Did you know that the only way for cancer cells to create/use energy is by fermenting glucose? They can't use fats or ketones.

> On the other hand, red meat and bacon are known direct cancer risks, […]

Bacon aside, there is no proof which shows that red meat causes cancer. Yes, there are studies that show a correlation between red meat and cancer. However those studies did not differentiate between fresh unprocessed red meat and other processed meat like bacon, sausages, etc.

Edit addendum:

> […] you don't really need bacon and red meat at all, it's something that you can easily take out of your diet.

I'd argue the opposite, bacon aside. Red meat is a highly nutrient dense food. Sugar on the hand is just empty carbs, Metabolizing sugar will drain you body of important vitamins (e.g. B1).

What do you mean by that?

I emphasize: We can encode THE IDEA or THE ABSTRACTION of infinite sets with a finite set of symbols.

We can encode the idea of infinite sets and their relationship to one another with a finite set of symbols. But we can't enumerate those sets. Edit: How is there a paradox?

> I see no moral fault here.

Why do you appoint morality a higher ground than rationality?

Edit: Typo

> That genes may as well have invented all of life to propagate themselves.

I think the point of the book was, that genes didn't invent anything. They were just the first self-replicating molecules. Everything else had to happen, because they were forced to exist and compete with clones and mutating clones of themselve – a game which we call life today.

The book Managing Your Mind [1] has an excellent chapter about dealing with anxiety and the thoughts you described. The approaches in this book are rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Helped me tremendously.

You might also profit from some mindfulness training in order to learn to live more in the present moment and let go of the future.

Offtopic: Hi, I saw your comments in some older thread about chelation (Cutler Protocol). I too am from germany and have some questions about your chelation protocol. Unfortunately, I can't reply anymore on that other thread. Can you contact me at [email protected] ?
