Yes. We need to look into caffeine because both coffee and tea have this, and both coffee and tea are protective against cancer of the prostate. It would be quite embarrassing to everybody if it were found that it is caffeine alone which is responsible for these effects (lol).
Tell that to forum user @GAF, who is framing smokers as belonging to a 'death cult.' I don't think this is an entirely equitable depiction, and even some centenarians have been known to smoke like veritable chimneys.Smoking is healthy. There is no paradox.
The response to this thinking might be, What about all the carcinogens inherent to poorly digested foods or from bacteria/fungi? Carcinogens do not just come from chemicals and medicine/supplements or what have you. They are inherent to being alive and using energy, at least energy from food...Why challenge the likely outcome of either cancer or some other illness, we already have enough carcinogens circulating to make the strain look like a real life depiction of the hazards of daily life.
Add enough toxic threats, you will suffer.
Except that smoking is about minimizing stress in the short-term, which it does effectively. The problem comes from having to curb too much stress and the cumulative damage.Why challenge the likely outcome of either cancer or some other illness, we already have enough carcinogens circulating to make the strain look like a real life depiction of the hazards of daily life.

If it's the most estrogenic one then isn't this study odd ?The leftmost line (below) of course represents estradiol displacing itself—or a radioactive version of itself to be specific. The most estrogenic flavone is kaempferol—found in strawberries—and the least estrogenic is rutin, found in apples (the glycosylated form of quercetin.)
I wonder if there is something special about the cigars from Cuba.The number of supercentenarians that had smoked is surprising indeed.
It is the most estrogenic when as judging by receptor binding data, but that's not to say that it would be the most estrogenic inside a whole cell. For the sake of brevity I had used to the term 'estrogenic' simply as synonymous with the estrogen receptor binding affinity, but there's always the chance that it's binding to another site withing the cell having an even greater affinity; this could perhaps even shift kaempferol's 'functional estrogenic effect' even lower than quercetin's—completely negligible.If it's the most estrogenic one then isn't this study odd ?

If you can by other means, great; but most people are dealing with seemingly inescapable stressors.

I believe adolescents are numbing themselves to the experience of going through a difficult phase. Those that have it under control seem to prosper as adults. Smoking can work in a similar way and have an overall positive effect if it helps to calm down and process the situation as long as the price of the damage isn't greater than what's been imposed by the stressor.
Seaweed as the source?dont the japanese eat a shedload of iodine
exactlySeaweed as the source?
I've witnessed people going through stressful periods gaining weight on a poor diet but preserving their sanity and then losing the weight after the stressful period passed. Suchzord has friends who eat a bad diet but have no hair problems, they probably manage to keep their stress levels in check by intuition. Matt Stone used to recommend unnatural and heavily processed foods on purpose for some people that are recovering because they're plentiful in accessible energy that require minimum effort in terms of digestion and lack the potential inconvenients of any natural food consumed in excessive amounts. We're all trying the best that we know of:I just find it hard to accept that something toxic would be a desired cortisol suppressant, there are better alternatives available without the risk. Smoking is a selfish lazy persons crutch, its dirty and its toxic.
My favorite hobbies in life are feeling good and not dying.
