weed and tea come from the same plant? nature be crazy
edit: lol I was riffing off "it's the same thing;" obviously they're comparing the idea of strains of weed to types of tea

Reply to comment by Southernerd in Researchers investigated the citation frequency of retracted scientific papers in science. They found that the retraction of papers only has a limited effect on citation (decreases citation frequency by ~60%) compared to non-retracted papers. Thus, retracted papers often live on. by Alysdexic
Yes, and some retracted articles /papers could still have good data, ideas, figures, etc. to cite as long as you put the effort in to vet the thing. I.e. the reason it was retracted doesn't effect the specific thing you want to cite.

Probably to mow down overgrowth like a briar patch or something similar. They're very effective for such purposes.

Do you know how powerful the placebo effect is?
Our minds are literally stronger than many drugs.

Reply to comment by DidjaCinchIt in Does the cerebral spinal fluid of people with Alzheimer's have a notably different pH from 'normal' people's? by wrhollin
That's kind of a separate issue. Chronic acidosis is a big problem in the U.S. (probably due to our diets + stress), so you may say the stomach's self-regulation will always keep the proper pH, that is just not true. Alkaline water doesn't treat the root cause, though. It may help some people with symptoms because it's like taking a weak antacid. You could probably get a better result with tums.
