Another win for low carb diets in diabetes! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3743…

Cool. Except the HUMAN RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIALS show people lose weight when they use diet drinks compared to regular drinks and even compared to water. Your mechanisms are therefore irrelevant due to REAL OUTCOME DATA 🤷🏼♂️

Study out of Yale Biology:
“Lastly, artificial sweeteners, precisely because they are sweet, encourage sugar craving and sugar dependence. Repeated exposure trains flavor preference [54]. A strong correlation exists between a person’s customary intake of a flavor and his preferred intensity for that flavor.”
And additional studies in pictures below.
Quite interesting, personalized food as medicine! cell.com/cell-reports-medici…

Can anyone explain (besides #superspreaders vs not) the biological mechanism for why in a household #coronavirus #covid19 can go without #spreading if someone has it? Especially 1 spouse vs the other.

Trump is enjoying the "highest" approval ratings of his term from the "rally around the flag effect: BUT they are in still in the high 40s, lets be really generous and say is Trump's COVID19 R.A.T.F. peak approval average is gonna come in at 48%.
This is terrifying. We are not yet at our peak, number of new cases is still growing exponentially. This would literally make the situation and the economy worse! #COVID19 businessinsider.com/coronavi…
The only sensationalism is Trump's HCQ proclamations. It's one thing to offer eventual hope about the many drugs being explored and the likelihood one will ultimately be effective, another to provide false hope over HCQ specifically and as if it's ready now. #MSNBC #DonaldJTrump

So in ten minutes the evil genius who is one of our GP anaesthetists (with a PhD in diaphragmatic mechanics) increased our rural hospitals ventilator capacity from one to nine!!!
New #kurzgesagt on the #coronavirus. Indirectly shows how Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin *might* be beneficial if bears out. Why @realdonaldTrump pushed for FDA approval of only HCQ disregarding the importance of AZM is beyond me. We can do better! youtube.com/watch?v=BtN-goy9…
This is misleading! Multiple treated people were lost to follow-up, some died. Typically you can't claim 100% effectiveness when this happens. Even still, the 100% is based on 6 non-randomized people only. Could this work? Maybe. But don't fully invest in this sensationalism!
BREAKING:
A peer-reviewed study shows that 100% of patients, after 6 days of taking a Malaria drug were "virologically" cured
This is, reportedly, the 2nd 100% cure to a virus that has ever existed
RT If President @realDonaldTrump should immediately move to make this available
The 100% is based on Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin, not Hydroxychloroquine alone! The latter was only 57% effective. #coronavirus #COVID19

NEW: the Wednesday 18 March update of our coronavirus case trajectories tracker
• More cases in the US than Italy had at the same stage
• Select Asian countries remain outliers in terms of containing the virus
Live version here: ft.com/content/a26fbf7e-48f8…
FYI, testing is STILL terrible. Indiana has done < 200 tests to-date. Even still, we already have 800 new documented cases in the US today and it's still early. Not looking good. #Covid19

Join @ewarren, @PramilaJayapal, @NelStamp, @WorkingFamilies, @NNUBonnie, and me for an emergency organizing call.
We need all hands on deck to discuss this national emergency and learn how we can demand & win life-saving Congressional action from home.

I keep hearing about how we shouldn’t tax billionaires because it might limit their philanthropy. They aren’t being taxed right now.
Where the fuck is Zuckerberg?
Where the fuck is Bezos?
Where the fuck are the Walton fam?
Where the fuck is Musk?
Where the fuck is Bloomberg?
