@FPL_Salah @lateriser12 You can save and keep 2-3 FTs in hand early in the season and do 1 regular transfer every week from that point, then do a mini-Wildcard when necessary.

@LauraLoomer @AliMayorkas In India, we report PCR for COVID-19 in 3 hours. How can the US president's PCR remain pending 😂

This is the boomer uncle who Raj Shamani invited to his podcast to talk on medical and health.

The guy who said "Ghee" (also called clarified butter) is a fat burner. Ghee is heavy on saturated fats and every single nutrition and cardiology clinical societies recommend limiting saturated fats.

For lack of a better description, protoplasmic masses without neuronal cohesion, like this guy here, Mr. Prashant Desai, who has absolutely no training in medical and healthcare, who flaunts toilet paper value nutrition certificates for his video background and without an ounce of scientific temper, talking absolute rubbish on nutrition and diet are the ones the public must stay away from.

Look at this video.

Nutrition and diet specialist Prashant Desai is holding up a bottle of alcohol and claiming that is causes "non-alcoholic" fatty liver. I mean it is like trying to convince the public by holding up a cat and saying its a dog. Basic IQ anyone?

Mr. Desai further says non-alcoholic fatty liver never existed in children before 1980. This is absolutely wrong. Fatty liver had been identified in overfed children as early as 1849.

His claim that fruit juice is the same as alcohol is also nonsense. He has no actual idea how nutrient metabolism works. Metabolism of alcohol and that of fruit juice (fructose) is completely different. High fructose intake is associated with increased risk of fatty liver disease. Even fresh fruits have fructose in them. The added sugars cause more harm than the natural sugars in your recommended daily portion of fruits/ fruit juices.

Listen to certified clinical nutritionists and doctors. Reject fearmongering nutritional quacks like these. Their narratives harm the public health.

@IddocYogiraj Beautiful.

@VincentRK @nramind @nambath @ramyakannan You are wrong about 'waiting to happen'. This actually happens in India quite often and I myself saw similar things happening with a patient with an anti-cancer and anti-fungal drug. Physicians feel helpless and sometimes just keep mum.

Identification of casts by urinary sediment microscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for kidney disease. This Podcast discusses a study that found urinary vacuolar casts are strongly linked to advanced glomerulopathies with severe proteinuria https://t.co/v4vJawEvMO

Very excited to see this collaborative work getting released in press in February in @ASNKidney360 Introducing the “new kid in the block” in #UrinarySediment: vacuolar casts. This is a preemptive short podcast with @jrseltzer

@DrEricDing In India, PCR for COVID also costs $2-$3 per test and price capped by Govt is $6.
