If men are hard-wired to compete, then how can we determine healthy vs. unhealthy competition?
Lord, I pray you keep me grounded now that I am a renowned Substack icon. Please strengthen me in this trial of overwhelming fame. Amen.

(Continued - sorry, hungry kitty bumped me) She told how her husband developed early-onset Alzheimer’s, and in researching the medical literature, she found that the medium-chain triglycerides in coconut oil were beneficial enough to reverse his decline, actually making him considerably better. In subsequent years, other researchers have also found great benefit from medium-chain triglycerides and ketones. So, if you can get into the habit of eating about 2 tablespoons of *unrefined* coconut oil each day, you may go through life with a healthy brain!
What I do:
I melt a jar of unrefined coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, add a few (5)squares of unsweetened 100% chocolate, then add a few tiny scoops of lo han (monk fruit) to sweeten it, plus half a cup of unsweetened organic cocoa powder. Then I pour it into small silicon molds and freeze it for fifteen minutes or so. Then I pop the solid ‘chocolate’ out of the molds, and refrigerate them. The result is tasty ‘candies’ that I can eat all I want - no sugar, healthy flavonoids from the organic chocolate, and medium-chain triglycerides that are good for my brain. (If I could find a healthy way to coat them with something that would prevent them from melting in your hand, I could become a billionaire!)
