I had a Klean Kanteen but it dented easily and was a pain in the ass to open. I have a large Hydro Flask now and love it.

there were questions about mint free & sls free toothpaste a page or 2 back.
Baking soda or baking soda & (diluted) hydrogen peroxide is a great (and very cheap) option. My grandpa grew up very poor in the depression, and used nothing but baking soda his whole life (he made a point out of hating conventional toothpaste), and had good teeth into his 80's & 90's.
Definitely can recommend auromere brand for a non sodium laurel sulfate toothpaste, they have a mint free version and available in health food stores and food co-op type places. a little more pricey but it really seems to make my mouth feel great. really a step up from most of the natural toothpastes that have sugar alcohols (ie xylitol) in them.
another option is dry powdered toothpastes, one example is uncle henry's natural tooth powder, there is an essential oil free type. I like these "tooth powders" (or baking soda) for traveling as they are a small container and light weight, yet last a long time.

Hm - pure nutrients, vitamins and minerals should not have any negative effects at all.
What I mean by that is that you can take all vitamins, minerals (except iron which should not be taken as a man at all) and nutrients.
But of course if you take for example Omega 3 supplements with certain oils - GMO soybean oil, then of course it may have other effects, but that is just based on a specific set of foods.
For example - I am taking Lecithin and avoid lecithin from soy, but pick sunflower lecithin. You pay only a bit extra.
There are a multitude of things that impact your body negatively and should be avoided - some at the top of list at all cost:
+ Artificial Sweeteners - Splenda, Sucralose, Aspartame etc.
+ MSG - taste enhancers - KFC secret ingredient
+ most vegetable cooking oil at higher temperatures - use coconut oil, clarified butter, lard instead
+ soy ingredients - soy lecithin found in many foods, but they are using it also as a regular in feedlot foods - especially chicken and pork is thus highly tainted with stuff like that - not only the antibiotics that those animals have to take
+ HFC high fructose corn syrup - highly negative for your body, impacts your hormonal household like most other of the stuff on the list - way more negative than white sugar which ais also not healthy, but HFC is a couple steps up on the scale
+ avoid cheap chicken, cheap pork, cheap salmon - switch rather to beef which is still relatively good in Europe even if bought cheap, otherwise organic meat is not that expensive - better eat less of it, but higher quality (in EE you can buy a pound of organic beef for 5-6$, in the UK it is closer to 45$)
Aside from that sticking to the known rules of nutrient density (easily achieved via good supplements) combined with low calorie intake and avoidance of the list of foods above - then you will be fine. That means in return that you probably cannot eat in many restaurants often, then so be it.
My diet has contained huge quantities of cheap chicken for my entire life back to toddlerhood, and still does. What's wrong with it?

Doctor turned supplement maker here.
There are a bunch of supplements you can take to decrease estrogen:
DIM
Calcium D-Glucarate
Grape Seed Extract
Zinc
Boron
Resveratrol
Nettle Root
Tongkat Ali
Don't expect them to drastically decrease your estrogen levels though. If you want something more effective, use stuff used by bodybuilders, like androstenedione (Arimistane) - can't vouch for its effectiveness personally, but seems to get a good rep on various forums.
Tip: just as high estrogen is bad, so is estrogen that is too low. Maintaining a certain level of estrogen is important for your libido. That's why you get hornier when you drink alcohol (which is estrogenic). Also, guys who overdo the PCT after juicing often experience lack of libido.

Is protein powder which contains soy lecithin (most brands) bad for you?
Brother - avoid most supplement brands like the cancer-causing products they are.
Most have stuff in it far more toxic than GMO soy lecithin like sucralose (with big text on it that says: "Now Aspartame free" - sucralose is more toxic than aspartame - heh).
https://www.swansonvitamins.com/now-food...-1-lb-pwdr
25$ for one pound is seriously not that big of a sacrifice if you avoid cancer-in-a-box.
Good companies:
NOW Foods
Swanson - pick their more expensive versions, they have some soy occasionally added in the low-low-price range, but it is a good company - you would not see non-working versions of vitamins or truly highly toxic ingredients added
I take organic WHEY protein powder by a local European organic producer, but would likely buy NOW Foods in the US. I take NOW Foods for multi as well as SWANSON.
Also by the way- bodybuilding magazines regularly test protein powder producers and NOW Foods usually comes at the top with 99%+ pure protein while other big pharma owned & much bigger companies reach occasionally levels of 60-70% - rest being something else than protein.
Is there a protein power like this except without sugar in it? I mean like any sugar whatsoever.

I've been using Cleure toothpaste plain, Redmond Earthpaste lemon, Cleure mouthwash cinnamon, and the Sonaki VitaMax combo shower filter for a couple days now.
I like Cleure toothpaste more than the Earthpaste because it has a foaming agent. I know that no foaming agent is a big selling point and probably marginally better for me, but without it I feel the need to reapply Earthpaste on my automatic toothbrush every few teeth, cause it all... just... seems to vanish. Cleure is pretty tasteless, but the citrus flavor of Earthpaste is actually quite good I will admit. The cinnamon mouthwash is doing its job, just trying to cut out mint and tea tree oil.
I have noticed how smooth my teeth feel after changing these things up, but of course that is probably largely because of the increased attention I'm paying to it.
The Vitamax shower filter was also a very quick install, used my existing showerhead, plugged in a Vitamin C cartridge. Feels good, I know when I'm traveling I have to apply lotion because my skin dries out, but sometimes I forget when showering at home, which is good. Other users have conducted actual analysis on TDS and chlorine removal which has come out positive. One recommendation I have to prolong life of the Vitamin C, is to unscrew it and let it dry whenever you're done showering. Vitamin C degrades in water after a few days, and the way it is designed, water sits in the filter after you turn off the tap and can't drain out. Don't waste your money.
