Anyone use vaping as a substitute for mindless snacking?

I wonder, how does a "stone" compare to a "pound"? Funny, being from America I've never heard that expression.

1 stone is equal to 14 pounds (imperial), or 6.35029318 kilograms

but for silly europeans like me - 1 pound is roughly 500g (like the metric pound)... doesn't work out completley, but is ok for baking

It's a fascinating subject. It looks increasingly like sugar (either directly or via metabolised sugars from refined carbohydrates) is the main culprit for a lot of modern sickness, as well as a lack of the balance of nutrients and vitamins we have traditionally got from eating a natural diet... which includes eggs, butter and animal fat. There is a synergistic relationship between vitamin K2 (not K), calcium and vitamin D for example, and the vitamin K2 is found in the very natural foods we are being told to avoid because of the cholesterol fraud. The biggest source of vitamin D are our own bodies synthesizing it via UVB radiation in sunlight and we are told to avoid that too.

Strangely enough, when you follow the story back far enough the cancerous tobacco companies have shaped this picture too. Philip Morris having transferred its diversionary tactics of funding junk/deliberately limited science to prevent conclusion/consensus to the food companies it went on to own; which has clearly permeated into the pharm industry if you read some of the supposed research coming out on the obesity and CVD front in particular.

So this thread is very interesting, because anything that reduces the average Briton's 34 spoonful per day sugar consumption/addiction has to be a good thing.
