Studies published in 2017 by the University of Southerland have shown a very interesting biological trait in humans: It is believed that people who have a familial history of bad metabolism can have an imprint of a certain genome sequence that can lead to abnormal metabolism and metabolic stress in individuals. We can observe this with the body’s detoxifying abilities. If your family has a history of obesity or other similar physiological ailments, you will probably suffer a similar fate.
Therefore, scientists and doctors recommend the detoxifying methods that can reduce the risk of the said ailments and help you live healthier and happier. Some of the most commonly recommended foods that have a scientifically proven cleansing effect on the body are Spinach, broccoli, and cucumber. Juices made from these vegetables have proven to boost the detoxifying abilities of the body and they have helped countless people overcome these problems.
Have you tried detox therapy yet?
Would you be willing to try out the methods mentioned in the above excerpt? Do any of the above problems run in your family?
What is your take on this piece of information?
Did you find it compelling? Would you read more about this?
Here’s a revelation: If you thought for a second that there is a sliver of legitimacy to the above, you have vindicated my opinion.
Genetics doesn't account for our metabolism, and there is no way of boosting or affecting the body's detoxifying process. The University of Southerland isn't even real. It is a widespread myth that is used by snake oil salesmen around the globe today to force people who don't know better into buying things like pure mountain water and free-range chicken.
I apologize for lying to my dear readers, but this confirms a rather dark accusation about how we recognize things. A tremendous wealth of knowledge surrounds us. We are besieged by so much information, that we are constantly in a state of “more than I need to know”
We are like sheep. A shepherd leads us, and we go wherever the shepherd takes us. And, owing to no fault of our own, we have become gullible. Even the shrewdest among us are defenseless to the influence of the convincing lies.
We continually come across information that was not relevant to us. We learn something, but we did not even know what we didn’t know. With information and arguments supporting every opinion out there, it is very easy to come across information that has been fabricated to fit someone’s own requirements. We take in this information and form opinions, and beliefs based on our own observational biases. In the wake of this, it is becoming increasingly hard to verify the truth and separate fact from fiction.
We face a generation of mindless sheep who base their arguments in defense of the flat earth theory; a breed of beings who are taught what to think, but that’s it. They are never taught how to think for themselves. So, when challenged with a complication, our first instinct is to google a solution to the problem. And it wouldn’t be reasonable to denounce it all on the contemporary societal construct. Our culture, the environment we grow up in, our history- all of it impacts what we believe; on who we become.
For example, some parts of the world still take homosexuality as a sickness.
In other parts, child marriage is mundane, and a socially sought after endeavor.
Can a whole civilization be wrong? Can a whole civilization be false in its foundations? And if that is the case, who’s to say if it is false?
This is a rather slippery slope to tackle, and one we can’t draw an inference from because this would raise challenges to our very being. A comparable concern was considered in my previous post, Freedom Is Imaginary
There is one unassailable fact that reigns over all controversies: We encounter such an abundance of information, that it is absurd to learn how to think, and since we don’t know better, we believe what we are told. Even when we exercise proper caution against accepting everything we see.
We have a society of millionaires telling us money doesn’t matter, supermodels saying beauty isn’t of value, and celebrities dictating what we appreciate, consume, and experience.
We have a society where infotainment outlets take pride in formulating quizzes that tell us what kind of onion we’d be, media sources that value a good story over fact, and people claiming to be experts in fields after reading Wiki pages.
When you say it out loud, it sounds immature and idiosyncratic, but does it not hold true?
You never know what to believe, and you never know who is lying to you. It is therefore wise to learn to think. Question what you know, that you may seek the truth you desire.
There’s a line I read in a book once, and it has grown into the foundation of what I believe:
“Advice is something that is freely given, but be careful you take only what is worth having.”
