I wouldn't call this a hack. It's just observing how food and drink impact vasoconstriction and blood levels of glucose and salt.

I have no doubt a comment can be made about how quintessentially Irish it would be to document the role of potato starch in this.

Yes, but I was disappointed to see that they are more or less fact-checking an American TikTok meme, which may explain why they are not referring to “chips” in an article by a UK scholar in an Irish news outlet.

One step toward health insurance-subsidized McDonalds. I guess that explains where all their R&D spending has been going lately.
