As somebody who only drinks black, I can confirm, there are no problems anywhere ordering it. Just tell them black coffee, or iced Americano, or an espresso shot, or whatever. And if they make mistake and you show it to them they’ll fix it. There is literally no conspiracy here

To a certain extent yes, if you’re lacking proper nutrition, not getting enough sleep, sleep apnea, stressed, i.e. if you have something that’s impeding your intelligence you have room to improve.
I.E. studies of economic vegetarian children showed tremendous cognitive improvements when supplemented with one egg a day. They lacked proper nutrition
The impact on a fully developed adult brain could be just as impactful depending on the problem, but probably would be more subtle

What’s wrong with that? Keeping margarine level when you use it is not something I’ve ever seen done before.
Side note - margarine is not butter! It’s a dyed oil product made to mimic butter.
Butter doesn’t come in tubs.

3 daysGather evidence, talk to the admins of your instance, and the admins of the instance of the abuser. The best option is to get their account banned or at least blocked at the instance level
Of course, don’t engage with them, it might be best just to block them and they’ll get bored and go away

believe that you need to be able to understand every ingredient in your food and why it’s there. Maybe I just have an unusually sensitive stomach, but even one preservative or E code emulsifier or additive gives me troubles.

The trouble is “good” means different things to different people, and importantly, in different dietary contexts. almost all “news” about nutrition is based on observational epidemiology with tremendously weak signals, it’s just noise, and you can bias your math the report whatever noisy signal you want. it is really best ignored.
From your own list you have multiple good/bad pairs from different dietary camps that contradict each other.
The one thing most camps can agree on is whole foods are the best options.

3 daysdespite being in good shape, sweat a ton. I honestly hate it, but there are much worse things to live with.
I used to be this way, using a sauna daily massively reduced how much I sweat.

Thanks for the down vote! Best way to have a civil discussion is to throw negativity around.
The entire point of including the article is to demonstrate that plant sterols are different than animal sterols. In your original comment up thread you were wondering about further differences between palm oil and animal saturated fats like butter… There you go, they are materially different
The review also lists many potential hazards. If you want to lower your LDL it’s a great tool, no question. However, ldl is not a disease and lowering it in isolation isn’t going to be good for your health.
Humans ate saturated fat as the primary fat source until about 100 years ago - to blame saturated fat for the modern epidemic of cvd doesn’t really make sense.
Turns out everything has some association with cancer https://doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.112.047142
So when one group introduces a law saying we should label anything with a cancer risk, nobody can argue against it… but once the law is in place, it’s now a tool which people can use against their pet peeves, and since everything has some association with cancer, you get the label on everything.

However saturated fatty acids are bad for your health.
Saturated Fats have been much maligned by Ancel Key’s lipid heart hypothesis, but it doesn’t stand up to modern scrutiny - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2020.05.077
Saturated fats are not bad for your health.

I am truly interested to know if palm oil is much worse than other saturated fats, so if you have additional source worth reviewing it would be appreciated.
Palm oil has plant sterols, which interfere with human hormonal signaling and lipoprotein function.
Lots of people think this is a benefit of using plant based fats, but some of us don’t
