My theory is actually the opposite - mestizo people and black people are more vulnerable to all the bad stuff in food

How does dementia make money?

The drugs they prescribe cost $5-$10 per pill. That makes a lot of money or the pharmaceutical companies.

All of us with identicals were tall, broad shouldered, big chested but thin legs. There's something there.

Twins run in my family and both mom's were small chested.

I have a related theory that a lot of younger people (50+) are already showing signs of mental decline of some sort but it’s not recognized. I am pretty sure half of our government is unfortunately unfit to govern (non partisan) just due to age mental decline

My theory today is that I am able to postpone or avoid a cold by taking vitamin C and by persuading myself to not get sick (just yet).

My theory is that attacks on abortion rights are a response to the browning of American. More white babies are needed, so access to abortion goes away to increase that demographic.

????????????????????

White women have always been able to find a way to get abortions. If repugnicans are actually doing it for this reason, they are even more stupid than we all assume.

Did you see the links posted? White women are the least likely to get an abortion. You're theory makes no sense for the 100th time. You're pretty hard headed!

Did you conceive through fertility treatments?

no. That's not how it works with identicals.

That is your own ignorance talking. There absolutely are tests out there to validate for Alzheimer’s.

Like a blood test? Those check for markers. They can't confirm ALZ until they examine brain after death.

Actually identical twins more likely with ivf than without.

You missed so many factors - people working longer hours, more office jobs, suburban sprawl + rise in house prices leading to longer commutes, people afraid to let their kids outside + electronics making inside more attractive, more schools that are not neighborhoods schools….

my point was, identical twins are not more likely to run in families. fraternals are.

Wrong! We fully supported our DD when she claimed she was gay, knowing full well she was not gay and knowing she would eventually discover her true sexuality. The goal is to support your child as they navigate their feelings and experiences.

How did you know this?

Because she always demonstrated she liked boys (writing secret love letters to them in elementary school; going gaga over a boy in 7th grade), until 8th grade, when she was maligned by a friend. After that, she said she was gay... until she started dating her boyfriend. Maybe she's bi, but she generally trended to being heterosexual.

My theory is that girls that grew up in the 30s and 40s were having the same amount of premarital sex as girls today. But the parents were less aware.
