SUGAR = THE NEW NICOTINE, Stimulating the same pleasure centers of the brain, inducing craving. "On"CBS This Morning," Dr. Mark Hyman said, "In animal studies, they find that the rats go for the sugar and that it's eight times as addictive as cocaine. Small amounts of sugar can be part of a normal diet, but most of us are addicted to sugar and don't know it." https://lnkd.in/ePxGA7t View in LinkedIn

OUR VESTIGIAL METABOLIC DRIVERS that motivated our cave men ancestors were to prioritize high fat, high calorie diets, because food supply was forever uncertain. Their adrenaline release freed up fuels to make muscles work (flight and fright). Our modern lives have too much fat and calories, and flight or fight reactions lay the fat in our arteries, not to feed working muscle. Diseases of civilization. View in LinkedIn

HIJACKED ANCESTRAL BIOLOGY. “People can’t manage their behavior and their eating because their taste buds and their biology have been hijacked by processed, hyper-palatable, high glucose, high sugar foods that drive their hormones and neurotransmitters to make them eat more.” https://lnkd.in/eCjE_4M View in LinkedIn

WHO'S SUGAR WARNING INITIATIVE. "In 2006, the United Nation's World Health Organization (WHO) released similar food recommendations and then Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Tommy G. Thompson actually flew to Geneva, according to Fed Up, to threaten WHO that if the guidelines stood, the U.S. would withdraw its WHO financial support. Again, Big Food won." https://lnkd.in/eTjhfXc View in LinkedIn

THIS TOBACCO THEME is now at a close, along with, at least for now, the topic of sugar. For those who stayed the course, thank you. For those who found it too much, apologies. It is a remarkable piece of modern history that is emblematic of the way we treat poisons as a society. Next, we move into the wild and wonderful world of CLAYTRONICS. View in LinkedIn

CLAYTONICS AND MORE is the subject of the next big theme in this blog. It is an emerging field of programmable inate matter that is truly remarkable. When programmable inert matter combines at a future date with programmable life, and synthetic biology, the world will become a different place. View in LinkedIn

CLAYTRONICS is still at an early stage of development. It has more hope and dream than actualization, but that in no way diminishes its truly dramatic possibilities. The science is progressing steadily but for sure it will take a while. Enjoy the dream. View in LinkedIn

"CLAYTRONICS is one instance of programmable matter, a system which can be used to realize 3D dynamic object in the physical world." https://lnkd.in/dzdjcqu View in LinkedIn

"CLAYTONICS is an abstract future concept that combines nanoscale robotics and computer science to create individual nanometer-scale computers called claytronic atoms, or catoms, which can interact with each other to form tangible 3D objects that a user can interact with. This idea is more broadly referred to as programmable matter." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics View in LinkedIn

SENSUAL INTERFACE. "Our goal is to give tangible, interactive forms to information so that a user's senses will experience digital environments as though they are indistinguishable from reality. Claytronics is taking place across a rapidly advancing frontier. This technology will help to drive breathtaking advances in the design and engineering of computing and hardware systems." http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~./claytronics/ View in LinkedIn
