Curry is something you should eat occasionally...
If you eat some like three times a week, your bowels will really get angry at you.

Always so funny when they say that curry is a very spicy dish, and they're talking about Japanese curry. But in this case I'm actually not so sure, since they're also talking about naan bread and lassi.

Oh, yes, just because tomatoes and potatoes exist, rice must exist. Though it is very likely for tomatoes and potatoes to both exist if one of them does, since they're closely related.


That depends entirely on the spices, since many are poisons. Humans are just fairly resistant to a lot of poisons. Though it's a fairly complicated topic, since medicine is also quite often poison. Most things we eat have good and bad effects.

I've never understood children not liking milk. It's one of the least offensive foods that exist. Well, as long as you're lactose tolerant, but that has little to do with the taste. At least to my knowledge.
As an ex-child, I can tell you that children loves milk. It's sweet, smooth, and goes really well with chocolate (particularly the sugary powder - that prolly has plenty of chemicals for preservation, taste, etc. - you can simply mix in without needing to heat). And if you freeze milk (+sugar, taste stuff, and plenty of other chemicals) you get tasty ice cream!

So I will rather ask, what do you mean "never understood"? You are talking as if that is a common trope.

So now he's also delving into culinary things. And I am reading this while drinking Yakult. Now I learned something more of the benefits of what I'm drinking. Thank you head chef, I mean, Royal Pharmacist Falma.

I've seen it show up sometimes with small children and immature slightly larger children, talked about as if it's a common thing. I do wonder if it is some Japanese thing. Most of the time there's no situation for it to show up, though, since characters tend to be older, and if there are small children they're usually not focused on to that degree.

More circulation bullshit. Either you have good circulation or you're in shock/heart failure. Maybe a lymphatic obstruction from a tumor or a peripheral valve disease. Chewing on a knob of ginger will not help you if you have bad circulation.

Pharma's half-assed medical knowledge is going to leave everyone bloated and ruining their pants. No you don't eat a whole bunch of fiber when you have gi trouble. You only eat fiber when you have hard stool. The bad fermenting bacteria like fiber and other fodmaps more than lactobacillus does. When you're bloated, you want to eat simple starches and sugars that are quickly absorbed and don't form bulk. Porridge, juice, pasta, pb&j on whitebread. Dairy is debatable. When the gi tract is irritated you might be temporarily lactose intolerant, it varies from person to person.

I know someone who's been struggling with bloating alot recently and has been trying to learn/research how to reduce it on their own. They told me about alot of it, and they never mentioned the recommendation to eat simple starches/sugars when bloated. If it's new, maybe it's useful. What they've been doing so far hasn't helped much after all.

If you don't mind sharing any links you've got to resources where they can learn about what you said (the simple starches), it'd be very appreciated.

The question about bacteria kind of illustrates and unfortunate side effect of having someone appear in a culture with a body of useful knowledge from the future (or from a more scientifically advanced culture). Falma becomes an ultimate source of knowledge, but inevitably that knowledge is a dead end. It is almost like a work of sacred texts. Medicine Is fundamentally a scientific pursuit in our society, and has greatly benefited from adopting scientific practices. But scientific practices are built on a structure of mental disciplines that are not intuitive and can be difficult to maintain.


In order to bring the benefits of medicine to this world in a more permanent and widespread way, Falma would do well to begin the program of teaching that would include not just the huge body of medical knowledge but also the tools of scientific discipline so that the people of his new world can develop new medicine and also make new discoveries of their own.

Never heard of lassi, so I gave it quick search. Seems like an interesting drink. Even though its start of winter, I might give it a try.
There are regional variations in the way Lassi is made, so that some are used to making it as a sweet drink while others use salt. It is a favorite of my wife's. She likes the sweet mango version.
