Think it’s like trying to put loads of petrol into a full tank, you’d just piss it out

#22

you’re right, organs can absorb infinite amounts of things

#24

I don’t know, it’s pretty established though that the body doesn’t absorb vitamins from pills well

#25

haven’t been to pat val since #brexitgate

#26

never been to Primark, never will

#27

First google result for vitamin pill efficacy

#28

Yeah for Vitamin C certainly - your body just pisses it out. The counter argument is you can’t really overdose on it so makes sense to max out on Vitamin C but obviously not to the extent where you’re starting to either impair your kidney functions or spending a shitload of money on vitamins. They’re an absolute racket. Sometimes my wife drags me into Holland and Barrett and I look at the shelves and absolutely despair.

I HAVE drunk in a wetherspoons, it was awful and post-brexit vote I never will again.

STAND.

(I forgot to say, everyone needs to post the word “stand” in capitals after their stated stand)

Then the whole thing became about whether it was mean of me to bring this up as a racket in the first place when they hoped they’d be magical anti-cold beans, and I guess it became my hill to die on at that point.

Some people don’t like being told that something they’ve chosen to do is ill thought out. There’ll always be folk like that.

Nothing can prevent the common cold. Having a healthy diet and looking after yourself physically and mentally as best you can will give your body the best chance of not succumbing to one though. Annoying that people will argue different but hey ho.

If you could guarantee you’d never get any one illness for the rest of your life, would you pick the common cold on the basis of its frequency and annoyance, or go for a biggie like cancer or heart disease even though you may be fortunate enough to never suffer from it?

shut up about this now please

#34

I know you’re a fan of your light-hearted imponderables, but this is a ridiculous thing to ask.

#35

Fair enough, I’ve obviously misjudged the mood in here. @plasticniki, please delete.

#36

no need for that - we just need more epic STANDs

#37

I stand for nothing, therefore I fall for everything.
