A Primal Primer: FODMAPs. You could be having a fairly routine conversation about health and nutrition where everything discussed is familiar. You hear things like âcarbsâ and âmedium chain triglyceridesâ and âfructoseâ and âmacrosâ and âglutenâ and âPUFAs,â thinking nothing of it. Like I said, routine. Then someone mentions FODMAPs.
Pounds are the British/English currency. Originally â¤ with two cross-bars, then later more commonly Â£ with a single cross-bar. The full, official name, pound sterling, is used mainly in formal contexts and also when it is necessary to distinguish the United Kingdom currency from other currencies with the same name.
Money today is fiat money, a symbol of value created by the human imagination with no intrinsic value of its own. A coin or paper currency note has value because people accept it as a symbolic medium of exchange. The economic value of money as measured by its purchasing power is a subject of economic theory. However economics does not explain how individual human beings and societies came to accept symbolic money as a medium of exchange or store of value. The process of according value to a symbol is psychological and social.
