📢 New evidence challenges the “safe drinking” myth:
An observational + genetic study in 500k people shows that any level of alcohol consumption is linked to a higher risk of dementia.
The idea of a “brain-protective” level of moderate drinking isn’t supported by science.

2️⃣ Provides a detailed policy framework for integrating Lp(a) into cardiovascular prevention strategies
3️⃣ Reinforces the causal role of Lp(a) in ASCVD and aortic valve disease
4️⃣ Presents new cost-effectiveness data supporting early detection

Can someone in @Fraserhealth please explain why my 31-year-old niece, who has a FAMILY HISTORY of BREAST CANCER and has FOUND A LUMP, has been waiting for over a month for ANY kind of imaging, with no date as yet? @GlobalBC
Hey @OC_TranspoHelps thx for the free weekend! We are checking out the new line 2, heading to Limebank. Signs inside the trains need a little work, however. (reading “Bayview, Last Stop” since we boarded at Carling) @OccTranspo
@OC_TranspoHelps well the signs updated properly a few minutes after my post. Now on the way back and the signs are wrong again. its reading “Next station Bowesville” when it’s actually going to be sourh keys. Yup. needs work. @OccTranspo
@CryptoGrimley @fitterhappierAJ 30 years ago, learning integral calculus, our prof went over exponential growth and decay, using deer populations as one example. He then looked at the class and said,"The human race is long overdue for a die-off". That stuck with me.
Vote this scumbag out. He has no convictions, his word means nothing, he works for the benefit of the rich, he’s ruined the healthcare system, etc. He’s not what Ontario needs.
@PurolatorHelp Please explain where my package is and how it can be out for delivery and never come to my door? Also, pressing 1 for your automated callback service does not work. 🙄

The new #Covid KP3 subvariant is spreading like wildfire. You may want to consider masking for larger gatherings indoors. Some hospitals have returned to required masking. My anecdotal sense is that KP3 is much more than "a cold."
