Joe Biden banning menthol cigarretes is the wildest thing to me lmao

@triodug it's idiotic beyond belief

@lain @triodug it's completely menthol

@shpuld @lain lol

@shpuld @lain @triodug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne-kmlwLW7c

@triodug right outta left field, who suggested this to him? who had a burning desire to ban menthols?

@Moon @triodug large group of health advocates who see it as sort of a way to ease people into smoking

@Moon @triodug wonder if he'll ban MSG next to help everyone quit chineese food too

@dielan @Moon wonder if he'll ban mgs next

@Moon @triodug Somebody who hates niggers of course.

@maxmustermann @Moon so Kamala Harris?

@dielan @triodug what if he just like

banned cigarettes

@Moon @dielan @triodug its coming

as soon as they get over their paranoia about vaping they'll start pushing everyone over towards it.

@Moon @dielan @triodug Gas stations everywhere would be up in flames.

@rain @dielan @triodug if you're banning certain types of cigarettes you may as well ban cigarettes. he won't do it because he's a pussy

@Moon @rain @dielan @triodug banning plants hasn't worked out that well. menthol is so readily available i guarantee niggas will be selling home made menthols on the street corners soon

@meowski @Moon @dielan @rain @triodug and yet high fructose corn syrup is still legal

@icedquinn @Moon @dielan @rain @triodug ban government ​

@meowski @Moon @dielan @rain @triodug seem to recall their excuse was dumb as shit too. some virtue signalling tripe about "because blacks are affected more by tobacco use so we're saving blacks by banning a flavoring."

the tyranny is always for your own good. sure it is.

@icedquinn @meowski @dielan @rain @triodug is there any scientific evidence that fructose is worse for you than fructose

@icedquinn @dielan @meowski @rain @triodug *sucrose

@Moon @icedquinn @dielan @rain @triodug
yes https://www.niddk.nih.gov/news/archive/2017/tale-two-sugars-fructose-glucose-cause-differing-metabolic-effects

@Moon one you can easily self experiment:

drink 1-3 cans of coca cola.
vs
try to drink 1-3 glass bottles of mexican coke.

the stuff made with real sugar will make you physically ill when you drink it. HFC bypasses this response.

@dielan @meowski @rain @triodug

@Moon @icedquinn @dielan @meowski @rain @triodug wrong question, most sugar isn't sucrose either. There's some evidence monosuccarates (regardless of fructose or sucrose) trigger overeating in rats, unclear if it actually does the same thing in humans or not cause the stupid IRBs won't let us lock humans in cages and feed them highly specific possibly very unhealthy diets

@MaybeJustALittleCrazyTalk @Moon @dielan @icedquinn @rain @triodug
the question is fructose vs glucose - sucrose is fructose + glucose.

it's really not unclear anymore at all. the metabolism of fructose is different than glucose and leads to metabolic changes and increase in diabetes vs higher glucose sugars or sucrose

@meowski there were medical claims that HFC also caused pancreatic cancer cells to grow at extreme speeds compared to sugar cane but i don't have the citations.

@MaybeJustALittleCrazyTalk @Moon @dielan @rain @triodug

@icedquinn @MaybeJustALittleCrazyTalk @Moon @dielan @rain @triodug i would believe this. hfcs does burn out the pancreas which leads to type 2 diabetes

@feld @triodug > it's believed to make nicotine even more addictive

why, because it's flavored? Sounds like the crap against vaping

@Moon @rain @triodug probably still stalling for his allies in big tobacco to finish migrating to big vape before banning cigs
