Claude has given me enough cover to continue my Pepsi (with real sugar) addiction:
(Keep in mind that I am not a smart person, and the rest of my diet is gluten and lectin free keto except for a tub of ice cream [with real sugar] about every 2 weeks)
Ask Claude.ai: Does ingesting sucrose cause systemic inflammation in humans?
Answer: Let me break this down carefully:The relationship between sucrose (table sugar) consumption and inflammation is complex and depends on several factors:
1. Direct Effects:No strong scientific evidence suggests that sucrose directly causes systemic inflammation in healthy individuals when consumed in moderate amounts as part of a balanced diet.
2. Indirect Effects: However, high sucrose intake can contribute to inflammation indirectly through several mechanisms:- Excessive caloric intake leading to weight gain and adipose tissue inflammation- Blood sugar spikes that can trigger inflammatory responses- Potential disruption of gut microbiota
3. Context Matters: The inflammatory response depends on:- Overall diet composition- Amount and frequency of sucrose consumption- Individual metabolic health- Presence of existing conditions like diabetes or obesity
4. Key Research Findings: While some studies have shown correlations between high sugar intake and inflammatory markers (like C-reactive protein), these are often in the context of overall poor dietary patterns or excessive consumption.The current scientific consensus suggests that moderate sucrose consumption as part of a balanced diet likely doesn't cause significant systemic inflammation in healthy individuals. However, excessive intake, especially when combined with other dietary and lifestyle factors, may contribute to inflammatory processes.

Huh? What are you smokin Willis? So now you know what's in my head... That doesn't sound like a high schooler. Guess you're smarter than you like to let on, maybe that's just your game. But you don't like the flashlight shined on you though do you m Can't tell a joke when you read one, I guess you're the only one who knows how to make a joke. You see that, you're smarter than you like to let on. Sounds like that's your game. False modesty. Oh did you just get your cover blown?
As you would probably like to say to duck out by taking false offense and shut people down, "just sayin. What do I know?" You know what I think that's your shtick. Gets old.
.
One thing I bet you should know: don't kid a kidder. Or to say it another way: don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining.
Maybe you should run for office. Jus sayin.
Ok, Meanwhile here's a follow-up for you to ask Claude: "Hey Claude, why should I believe you?" And: "Thank you Claude, but your answer was vague and now I would like a second level response." I think you'll have fun with that one and it's an inside tip on how to get deeper into AI and maybe get less of the BS one usually has to worry about with AI. Though it still is a lousy excuse for a decision you still have to be the one to make.
So... I thought this comment "That might be Claude's job, to give you an answer you can bend where would you like to. Have you asked him about that?" was casting some shade on my decision to take what Claude told me about Sucrose and inflammation and drawing the conclusion that there is a good chance my Pepsi (with real sugar) is not causing inflammation.
If you were making a joke, that's fine. Sorry I missed it. I am on the spectrum and miss a lot of jokes.
As to my "what do I know" shtick (a gimmick, comic routine, style of performance, etc. associated with a particular person), well I guess this "what do I know" and "I only have a high school degree" qualifies as a shtick if you use the "gimmick" definition (a trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or business.). It is a gimmick to make sure I draw attention to the fact that I have no medical training and all of the things I believe are very speculative.
It is probably wrong of me to say "I am not a smart man". I am smart. I am also stupid. You have heard of idiot savants? I am like an idiot clever.
I am also prone to error and have poor impulse control. I think it is important that people know these things about me when they read my posts. There are a lot of desperate people that read these posts. People who will try things they would not try if they were not desperate.
It's weird. I think I have some answers and would like others to try the things I try, but intellectually I know I am almost certainly just spinning my wheels.
So... sorry I missed the joke. Sorry about the shtick getting old. Hopefully it will get a lot older, at least 25 years older.
I'm totally allergic to sugar, glucose and sucrose and fructose. I've had to be on constant antihistamines for the last 65 years. It's like being addicted to air, doesn't take long at all for the results of pausing to be incredibly intolerable. Also includes aspartame and many of the other artificial sweeteners .

Anyway, try this trick with AI, respond back to it by saying yes that's a vague answer I would like a level 2 response. Then when you get the level to response ask for a level 3 response. The people that put AI together already know that they couldn't sell for a dime the AI that we all get, which is total problem and useless. So they have already taken care of that but it's kind of a trade secret you only get to know if you've paid a lot of money for a real serious operating account for really serious advanced uses. Give it a shot sometime. Terminology may vary depending on which brand of AI product you are talking to.
Wow. Allergic to sugar, glucose, sucrose, and fructose. Google says "hereditary fructose intolerance"? That is something I had never heard of. 65 years of this. I am sorry you have had to deal with this.
AI giving a 'could be a bit of this'/'could be a bit of that' answer shocker. AI will only be of any use when its response to any question is to put itself immediately in the bin.
Is that trick I showed bolt about asking it for a level two response. And obtaining a "level 2 response" open the gateway to asking for a " level 3 response."

Looks like even the covid vaccination has 2 sides to the story. (Rats. And just yesterday I had my 3rd booster.)
