"Children having blood lead level of 10 µg / L is associated with a loss of 1 intelligence quotient point."

"While there is no known safe blood lead concentration, even blood lead concentrations as low as 3.5 µg / dL (decilitre, a tenth of a litre) may be associated with decreased intelligence in children, behavioural difficulties and learning problems."

https://t.co/R51bgS2rJM

Do yourself and your children a favor and check the blood lead levels. This is important because turmeric is used not just as a spice in India, but over glorified and consumed as a "medicinal supplement" without any objective evidence for the same. It is so difficult to live healthy in India when healthcare and public health awareness are considered trivial.

BREAKING: Bail granted to the four co-owners of the Delhi building/basement where 3 IAS aspirants drowned in July. To this day, ZERO arrests in MCD.

Useless, rotten criminal justice system. 🍌🇮🇳

Sheetal Devi is poetry in motion.
Just 17 years old.
Born without arms.
Right leg to lift bow.
Right shoulder to draw the string.
Strength of jaw to release arrow.
Opened with bullseye.
Missed victory by a single point.
A true hero.
Listen to the crowd. 🥹🔥

@abhishek Flipkart generally has OTP verification of product before delivering it. Delivery person itself will check the profuct in front of the customer, and then the OTP verification, then only it shows as delivered. Why it was not done in this case?

Yesterday, I had a visit from a young man who follows me on social media.

He travelled a long way to meet me.

He identified himself with alcohol use disorder.

He lost his job recently because his working skills and travel to the office was severely hampered.

He took on some work from home on freelance projects but could not deliver on time because he was mostly drunk or sleeping or going out to get more alcohol.

Initially he drank with friends, but they stopped coming because he used to get aggressive and violent when alcohol serves were limited. He did not need them anymore and started drinking alone, even right after getting up from bed.

He has a wife and a young daughter who stayed separately with his sister-in-law since past few months because his aggression turned towards the little girl.

He told me he could not remember a lot of things. Sometimes he forgets to take a bath and when people around him tells him he stank, he would remember.

He stopped going outside and meeting people. He started developing suicidal thoughts and attempted once.

He lost his self when his daughter called him on the phone last week, to wish him on his birthday. He took the train to meet me.

I have enrolled him in our de-addiction program and the specialists will strive hard to ensure that this young family will get back together. He has no cirrhosis, so he does not require follow up or treatment from my side.

But on this occasion, I would like to summarize some points on what alcohol does to your brains. Please read and share widely.

@timesofindia Good that they intervened. But it looks like he had a seizure episode only initially, which may make the person unconscious (which requires positioning & airway management only), but it will take some time for the person to have a cardiovascular collapse (if at all progressing).

@oldschoolinvest Some just want to make money as fast as possible without looking anything else. Some wanted to be on side of a good business even when the company is struggling as the future potential is likely very bright with the corporate governance standards the company keep.

Biscuits are worse than Chocolates! Bournvita can be worse than Pepsi and coke!

Sounds crazy? Let me explain!

Most of us have chocolates only 1-2 times per week, but we have 2 biscuits in the morning and 2 biscuits in the evening. 4 biscuits per day = 28 biscuits per week!

Most biscuits regardless of how they market themselves, just contain 3 things: 1) Maida 2) Sugar 3) Palm oil! In fact sugar biscuits like Bourbon and Jim-jam have more added sugar than Kit-kat and Munch!

Similarly, most kids have 14 glasses of Bournvita a week, but only 1-2 glasses of coke a week. In fact, we usually have Bournvita empty stomach so there is a high sugar spike whereas we have coke with food so the blood sugar spike can be more controlled.

If we want to truly improve ourselves, we should not focus on what we do 1-2 times per week, but instead focus on what we do every day!

Meet the Man Who Blamed the #Kolkata Rape & Murder Victim. On his watch her parents were lied to & told it was suicide. He may've tampered with evidence. He wasn't sacked; he was given a new gig. He's Mr Cover Up! My take on #RgKar Principal. Why's Sandip Ghosh being protected?

@drthomasisaac That may be the reason why the youth is leaving the state & country more than ever!
