Early-life sugar rationing reduced diabetes and hypertension risk by about 35% and 20%, respectively, and delayed disease onset by 4 and 2 years. Protection was evident with in-utero exposure and increased with postnatal sugar restriction, especially after six months, when solid foods likely began. In-utero sugar rationing alone accounted for about one-third of the risk reduction.

amphibian(n.)
"one of the class of animals between fishes and reptiles, having gills and living in water in the early stage of life, later living on land," 1835; from amphibian (adj.). Amphibia was used in this sense from c. 1600.
1640s, "combining two qualities; having two modes of life," especially "living both on land and in water," from Latinized form of Greek amphibios "having a double life; living on land and in water"
before a vowel amph-, word-forming element meaning "on both sides, of both kinds; on all sides, all around," from Greek amphi (prep., adv.) "round about, on both sides of, all around; about, regarding," which is cognate with Latin ambi-, both from PIE root *ambhi- "around."
Treason
This threat to the integrity of the government, the very foundation of the government, was not seen as a crisis; it was seen as an opportunity, a breach in the constitutional dam restraining man's tyrannical tendencies to exploit.

Its background is similar to amphitheater and ambiguous.

How will the Biden government be remembered? How will it sit in the pantheon of American administrations?
Management of political image is not new. Governments routinely create a false image of themselves to influence their citizens. Roosevelt's paralysis was never shown. Kennedy's pathological sexual behaviors were both known to the press and unrevealed.
That is to say, the public is constantly manipulated. This is usually cosmetic, to improve our opinion of these people we have voted for. They want to remain in power and advance their causes.
The Wilson episode is different. Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke in office and was non compos mentis, of unsound mind. This is a defense in the case of a criminal act; it is not a reasonable state for the leader of the free world. And the geniuses who wrote the foundational work for the country anticipated this very thing.
The Wilson government hid Wilson's mental failures. Essentially, they took the government over--despite there being a constitutionally mandated option for them--and ran the government themselves.
A coup.
This Biden episode is far worse. The Wilson crime was reactive. This Biden event may have been planned. This may have been a conspiratorial effort to divert the power of government from a vacant candidate into unelected hands in order to redirect the nation.

That is a coup. Treason.
The questions here are the most important since the Civil War. Already, they are being muddled and diluted by partisan complaints and distracting peripheral factors involved in Biden's incompetence.
The Press cannot be relied upon. If the people accept this theft of power complacently, the nature of this nation will be forever changed.
