Eating from Plastic Takeout Containers Can Cause ‘Extensive’ Heart Damage

Cast iron skillets might be bad for some steroid users?

Yup, they apparently raise your levels of ferritin (protein that stores iron in the body).

I came up with an eco friendly toliet accessory
A mirror in the toilet to check if your ass is clean to save you wasting paper on the last wipe

We always have a wipe until the paper is clean, in reality that one is a waste.
Just imagine how many trees we could save between us if we all used the mirror instead.

Blind people could have a camera installed with a little horn that went off if it was clean to save paper

Should I pitch this on Dragons Den?

Well I think to save you should use both sides of each sheet of paper.
Hole in paper insert finger, wipe & reverse sides.

I wanted a skillet a while back and was reading about the seasoning process and what not, and then read about the iron issue. I had heard about the iron from my mom a long time ago, how that could be a source of "dietary" iron. The article said some people should never use one, like people with hemochromatosis. Apparently, in some situations one might ingest something like 18mg of iron if you cooked tomato sauce in one or something else acidic which could easily be toxic. Many experts say males should never take a multivitamin/mineral with iron unless they had checked their iron levels or been recommended by a doctor. Too much iron of course is toxic and can cause huge oxidation/free radicals in the liver among other things. Incidentally I have low iron, unknown cause at this time and I'm taking prescribed iron. The reason I said steroid users is of course due to the red blood cell buildup from them which iron facilitates. Some bodybuilders use heavy metal chelators to bind iron, such as "IP6"

The Japanese are experts in toilets. Apparently even many public toilets wash your ass automatically with a water stream

The shit may be gone visually but let's say you could do a smell test

Another problem that arises when mixing vitamin C with ferrous iron (Fe3+) is a chemical process called the Fenton reaction, which basically leads to the formation of cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals. Not super-healthy.

But is this something to worry about? Vitamin C is said to increase iron absorption a lot so many iron supplements contain vitamin C. I have been taking my iron pill with one gram of C. I got a couple of bags of iron via IV a couple of years ago but for some reason this has been discontinued here.

It should theoretically not be a major concern for healthy individuals. However, at high enough doses or in the presence of an underlying inflammatory condition, I would avoid it.

Iron also serves as a potent growth factor for pathogens. In the case of an infection, iron supplementation should be discontinued immediately

Well, since I'm in the middle of an infection and/or inflammation, high CRP reading for months now, that's interesting and good to know, thanks. I'd also ask my docs about it if I could get ahold of them which is difficult

If AI replaces too many jobs this might make a comeback.

That`s it,I`m convinced.....no more eating plastic sammiches for this kid!

What a shitty job that had to be!

not with my current BP

Is you BP as high as a certain someone's that used to post here

Does Tupperware count? I don't want to tote my thanksgiving meal in a heavy ceramic casserole dish.

If you wear your fanny pack and baggy pants, it's okay. Mind over matter.

Thanks for the info. Also, thank you Van_Bilderass. You two are really switched on.

I hope every Pro BB reads this thread and stops worrying about underground filthy AAS and starts worrying about those prep meals in plastic containers .

Haha I've seen plenty of discussions on steroid forums about the plastic in syringes. It's pretty popular to preload your syringes ahead of time and the question is if and how quickly the steroid oils with the other chems starts breaking down the syringe plastic and especially the plunger rubber. If stored long enough the oil changes color from the rubber. My buddy was paranoid about storing his multiuse vials standing up so the oil wasn't working on the rubber top. I would suppose drug companies have thought about it and didn't think it was a problem. Now that I'm thinking about it I saw some analyses of drugs in preloaded syringes in hospital settings but I can't recall the results right now...
Edit, more to add lol. When you use a vial and penetrate the top repeatedly if you look closely you can often see tiny rubber specs floating around. I've been fishing out the specs with another syringe/needle, a pain in the ass but most don't even think about it or don't care

Health conscious bodybuilders should go back to those old old reusable metal rigs stored in like a briefcase type thing

That's some scary stuff.  Should throw the tea sellers who use this crap in jail.

I do trust steroids ,but not those bathtubs .
