You're lucky. I ended up with 8 small ulcers. Stomach is scared from that. Red meat now makes me feel sick and I am lactose sensitive. Fortunately I found some drugs that my body does much better with and I am doing ok.
Candy jewelry was the bomb diggity! I liked the candy cigarettes and then the gum ones. When they came out with the squeeze lollipop stuff (baby bottles, pacifiers etc )my parents drew the line. They said what's next opening a vein and feeding the sugar straight into the bloodstream?
That's when Little Debbie walked through our cabinets and sang her siren song!
I bet that was a dodged bullet for our generation. Had needles been cheap and readily accessible as they are today, I wouldn't doubt for one minute that people would have been injecting sugar. Technically it's NOT a drug so you can't penalize people for doing it.
Wanna know a secret? Sugar is just as addictive as crack cocaine! When you "go cold turkey" with sugar, you suffer almost the same withdrawal side effects as any other narcotics. Our government that loves and takes such good care of us, would rather keep us docile and stupid on sugar. Look at EBT, there's no restrictions on sodas or sugary snacks but they can't get a freshly cooked meal from the deli (which has your protein, your vegetables and your starch and a dinner roll or biscuit). It ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds, but why can't people get a hot deli meal with healthy choices?
It's just an innocent ingredient in baking cookies and cakes! It's litrally comparable to 💚 Soylent Green 💚 it's made from the blood sweat and tears of Haitians! They give up their lives to the sugar cane plantations!
Either that or the more socially sustainable HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.
But yeah, because of that lack of sugar restriction I don't get mad when I see people use food stamps/EBT to eat at a seafood restaurant. It's a loophole in the system but at least they're eating a decent meal.
It's a struggle. Because I can proclaim that I won't eat any more sugary snacks or foods for the rest of this year... and then suddenly I'll say, "Just this one time."
And it will be that ONE TIME only. But why did it have to be that one time instead of "NO" which I originally said I was going to do?
Tums and Ibuprofen are for your 30s. At 50s, it's blood pressure medication and vitamins to "improve" memories. They work by making you ask yourself if you took your vitamins or not that day.

Nah, I’ll take the candy, thanks. Definitely don’t need Tums and I try to stay away from the rest

Aspirin for cancer, Valium for temper, oxycodone for fun

Fiber and edibles though

Sprinkle in some gummies and coffee beans, and we could live off that.

I was thinking, swap out for Adderall and Norco. Scary how many of us never got by on the factory settings.

Use the Tums to address the stomach pain caused by the NSAIDS?

I know with my arthritis it’s either meloxicam or 3000 mg of aspirin to keep things even remotely under control.

Man I miss ibuprofen.
I got a gastric bypass in 2023 and you aren’t allowed to take anti inflammatories anymore post surgery.
Tylenol doesn’t do jack shit for me, nor dies any other over the counter pain relief.
Worth the trade off though.
Still, I miss ibuprofen.
LilithFiles@reddit
lol omg
generalbadaxe1@reddit
Can the ibuprofen taste like the old school kids chewable aspirin?
couchwarmer@reddit
The old school chewables are still available by the other low-dose aspirin.
Or grab an orange vanilla coke. (Personally, I think the chewables taste better.)
