Life isn't fair. Never was and never will be. Why is no one upset at the authors for publishing it via this method? They could have self published. It's business, it always will be business to ignore this would be to ignore reality.

Participating in unethical business models makes you complicit in the evils of their externalities. If you don't have an ethical objection to hiding academic information from the poor, then by all means engage in commerce with them. Acting morally is a choice - you can make your own.

With that viewpoint you are going to have some very difficult quandaries in life to deal with. While I appreciate your intent it's just not how the world works, has ever worked or will work. No one is hiding this information, it costs $31.50 USD, or email the authors (they will likely provide it for free).

Apparently not, less so than using vinegar which is what I have been using. That being said, I'll let you know once I've eaten my lunch...

How was lunch?

Sorry for the delay! It was fine, couldn't taste the baking soda at all.

Soak all your produce in baking soda water for 10 minutes. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jafc.7b03118?source...

I feel like this would affect the flavor?

Nope! Couldn't tell at all.

lol, and smoking has health benefits! Yes, there's a chance. But, if history is any guide, not a good one.

The benefits of nicotine on focus, concentration and mental ability are reasonably well established. It is unfortunate that it comes packaged with so many nasties in cigarette smoke. Of course you can get nicotine inhalers that avoid this problem. To avoid too much of a blast/crash, you can spray it onto the skin. I think if nicotine were discovered for the first time today it would be considered a wonder drug.

Seems unlikely. It doesn't have any known health benefits (which is generally what people mean when they say "wonder drug").

If you want more focus etc, there are better drugs than nicotine these days.
