I mean, fucking up is a common thing people do and is an integral part of the human condition. What should be emphasized about Jobs case is that he fucked up his own liver, learned the cause and treatments, used his wealth to cut in the waiting line to get a liver transplant, and then fucked his second liver just the same way. This is the definition of terminally stupid, and no UX focus will ever change that.
How did he fuck up his liver? Do you mean that he was doing something that caused him to develop that tumor?
Jobs ate only fruit. That is a lot of sugar. Your liver doesn't like that.
Iirc, what we normally call “sugar” is sucrose, made up of glucose and fructose. Glucose is used all over the place and too much is definitely bad (ask diabetics), while fructose is processed in your liver. Like a poison.
Just trying to remember that from stuff I’ve seen from Robert Lustig MD. There’s a very old “sugar: the bitter truth” lecture of his on YouTube, plus lots of media since then.
Glucose is only bad in the same way oxygen is bad. I think you need to rewatch your lecture.
Diabetics don't have a problem with too much glucose they have an issue with too little insulin or insulin resistance
Too much glucose is a great way to get diabetes.
As is an autoimmune disorder
Not the commenter but as a type 1 diabetic yeah you’re right, but when most say diabetes they mean type 2, which is the kind where you eat unhealthy and don’t exercise where type 1 is when your immune system just doesn’t like your pancreas
I was going somewhere with this but completely lost my train of thought
Forgot about that. I too am deeply irresponsible with my liver, but I would never ask for a second one. That's an entire human organ!
