I believe that's true for dietary cholesterol. Blood cholesterol is still relevant to heart disease, no? Not that the two have anything much to do with each other - that's part of what (I think) was debunked - eating it doesn't put it in your blood. Eating sugar and sitting around does. (As I recall it at least.) Right?

Sort of. Blood cholesterol is highly overrated as an indicator of heart disease. Most of the 'evidence' is based on one study whose methodology is highly suspect when examined closely. Gary Taubes has done a lot of research, he's controversial, made a lot of enemies, but to me he makes sense.

Great article!

The books were a real eye opener. I cut my minimal sugar intake to the amount that's in two 90% cocoa Lindt bars a week (10 grams each).

During my highschool years, many late nights were spent sobering up with Jack In The Box ‘tacos.’ Disgusting mystery meat creations that they are, ill still have one on a rare occasion, if only for nostalgia and I still love them

Great article!

Including natural sugars, like in fruit?

Eaten in enough quantities with little enough exercise, sure, it's possible. Diabetes has always existed. But it's a wholeheckuva lot easier to get there now with all the refined sugars and carbs and junk we eat. I'm more guilty than most.

A gigantic Seattle-based beverage corporation tried to get off the ground here, but the locals weren't having it. The only people who go to Starbucks are foreign tourists.

Never been to one of them

Not a lot of those knocking around. That may be a good price as well. Proper Ronnie is a Harmony, and I have looked for them in the past. Set on Birds now though.



J pups? Are they not shorties as well? EDIT: no, 34"...

Yep. Here's one, my Plonk 'tribute'. All three of mine cost just slightly more in total than that not really a Zemaitis...I hate nepotism.

Is it Vintage Sunday in RooLand yet?

I saw the guy with the Chris Isaak band playing one on a tv special. I liked it enough to look it up: a Harmony H22 from memory.

Eat the whole fruit not just the juice. The fibre is a counter balance. It is much easier to overdo the natural sugar in orange juice than in eating whole oranges as an example. I don’t see people eat 6 oranges in a sitting but they may drink the equivalent in juice.

Someone asked, so here’s a super quick test of the Dunwich Volt Thrower.

The Gasoline is very nice. The VT is cool too, but your're not really seriously stacking them until you have four dirt pedals (search the FX forum if you are interested).

Well, if you use more than one, you’re REALLY stacking them. Stacking four?! Naw, I’m good

Wrong word. Fixed it.

Him indoors is hunting down 'trucker' jacket number 28. Serious bass leverage methinks.

Does he know about the Rev42 yet?

Let him keep stockpiling! You’re right about this, his growing collection will strengthen your argument

The last couple of numbers in the serial aren't that important anyway, as they don't say anything about the production date and place of manufacture...



You can get really lucky with those factory 2nd's - Most often it's just instruments that failed the quality control due to minimal imperfections in the finish.

I have this Limited Edition Silverburst, which is a factory 2nd due to a little blemage on the upper bout:

Near as I can figure, my '14 ETBIV was seconded because the tuning machines were bad and the nut on the output jack was cross threaded. Tuners were replaced with Hipshot Ultralites and the jack ended up getting replaced when the Tone Monster pre was installed.

Don't be silly. Plenty of time yet.

'That Sugar Film' is fantastic!

Including natural sugars, like in fruit?

Fresh fruit good, dried fruits not so much...raisins are sugar bombs, around 70%. One ounce of raisins contains around 5-1/2 teaspoons of sugar. Eat blueberries!

Fun fact! There's 77 grams of sugar in a 20 ounce Mountain Dew...19 teaspoons.

Really loving this Dunwich Bolt Thrower pedal a lot. Really want something spacey. Was set to grab a EHX Canyon, but we had our first snow/ice storm today, which throws all of Nashville into hysterical panic. Both my local GC and Sam Ash decided to close early. Space rock will have to wait a bit

Half my shift called out, and more than that have called out on 3rd. I'm scheduled for a mandatory overtime shift today do I'd be staying regardless, but it's playing havoc with coverage on top of that.

Tempting, but.. I can't use his Gibsons, and he can't use my '73 Rick.....
