  I avoid all seafood for this very reason. With all of the constant deregulations and fines that are paid as the cost of doing business… the water just isn’t safe anymore.

  When you say “I don’t need X because I’m not pregnant” it looks like a contradiction when you say “I should avoid X even though I’m not pregnant”. There are specific reasons purely because of a person being pregnant that they should avoid or consume certain matter, so I see the blanket statement as overly simplistic (but not wildly outrageous). When we had our recent child we avoided everything that had any chance of a negative impact (and it’s easy to do when the pregnant person is a knowledgeable nurse who takes care of pregnant mothers every day). Why take a chance, but it’s really “Why should a pregnant person take a chance?”.

  I don’t know of any guidance about avoiding Erythritol when pregnant, but aside from that, the sentiment is generally reasonable but you’ll still end up avoiding foods that would only negatively impact a pregnancy. You can imagine the other side of that coin: are you taking vitamin supplements that are meant to be taken by someone who is pregnant? I would imagine not, but then the question becomes “Why not?”. (not trying to be hostile, just making a point)

  I found this article that mentions how normal consumption levels are far lower than 6mM. www.fda.gov/media/182122/download

  Is there a way to view the full paper? I’m curious if they properly isolated for people who are also overweight (the kind of people who would consume this artificial sweetener).

  It’s not delayed. The other person who is seen in the broadcast must be asleep.

  The other person has to be asleep and hears it as a whisper in their dream.

  I can pause time in order to write as much code as I want without interruption.

  I started doing this and have never looked back. We also keep the next loaf in the freezer, so we always have bread.

  The price and quality are so hard to beat.

  It happened to a friend who wasn’t passing in the proper types into their stored procedures, all strings, and “null” (not case sensitive) conflicted with actual null values. Everything in the web interface were strings, and so was null.

  For some people it takes this mistake before they learn to always care about the data types you’re passing in.

  I don’t know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.

  I’ve had mine on vibrate for years. Texting doesn’t trigger it, only calls. It’s been great.
