Simply eating less almost never works in the long run.
When you suddenly eat less, your body often burns fewer calories.
So, you eat less, but your body also uses less energy.
That is why portion control rarely produces lasting weight loss.
No, this doesn't break any laws of thermodynamics. 🙄
Corporation: "We made $4B but spent $3.9B so we only owe taxes on $100M."
Government: "Totally reasonable."
You: "I made $60K but spent $58K on survival."
Government: "You owe taxes on $60K."
You: "That's not—"
Government: "File by May 15."
So Congress, including Republicans, passed laws allowing your car to spy on you, which is hugely unpopular, but can’t pass voter ID, which is hugely popular.
The Fourth Amendment isn't optional. If the government wants to read your messages, search your data, or spy on you, they need a warrant. Period.
My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act ends warrantless surveillance of Americans.
It’s well known, at least it should be, that things like an infection and abstaining from food (among other things) will do this.
Question is, does your dr even know this?
Two men approach a woman and ask her to become pregnant by one of them and they will then pay her to take the child from her
I see no functional difference between this and a woman just offering to sell her child outright.
its a semantic debate by degenerates that want people to be allowed to sell children and an effort to devalue human life
I went into wedding planning with so many assumptions about how I'd save money, and it's virtually impossible if you plan to have your family there. Even small weddings and elopements will run what you'd think a normal-sized wedding should cost.
🫀🔥 LDL is down. Therapy is optimal. And yet… plaque is still growing.
Report from the presentation of the HURRICANE study at the ECR2026
Proud to be part of this study that sheds more light into a very hot contemporary topic.
That’s the uncomfortable reality highlighted by new data presented at ECR 2026.
👉 Statins were working.
👉 Guidelines were followed.
👉 LDL was controlled.
And still:
📈 Atherosclerosis progressed.
💡 This is the blind spot we’ve been ignoring:
👉 Residual cardiovascular risk
Driven by:
✔️ Inflammation
✔️ Metabolic factors
✔️ Genetics
👉 Things LDL alone does NOT capture
🚀 Enter Photon-Counting CT (PCCT)
For the first time, we can:
✔ Quantify plaque volume
✔ Differentiate plaque components
✔ Track progression over time
👉 Not just detect disease…
👉 Measure its evolution
⚠️ And this is where it gets disruptive:
Patients who are “well-controlled” on paper
may still be:
👉 biologically active
👉 progressing silently
🧠 This changes the entire paradigm:
❌ Treat LDL → assume success
➡️ becomes
✅ Treat disease → verify with imaging
🎯 Clinical implication
We may need to move from:
Lipid targets
➡️ to
Plaque targets
From:
Surrogate biomarkers
➡️ to
Direct disease measurement
🚨 Bottom line
Statins treat risk.
👉 PCCT shows reality.
And sometimes…
they don’t match.
⚡ The future is not:
“Did we lower cholesterol?”
It’s:
👉 “Did we actually stop the disease?”
I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.
