1979: fasting glucose over 140 makes you diabetic.
1997: lowered to 126.
Millions of new diabetics. Same blood.
1997: prediabetes starts at 110.
2003: lowered to 100.
A third of American adults, created by a footnote.
1984: high blood pressure is 160/95.
2017: lowered to 130/80.
American hypertension goes from 32 per cent of adults to 46. Thirty-one million new patients in a morning.
2001: the cholesterol target is 130.
2004: lowered to 100, and to 70 for the high risk.
Statin eligibility expands by millions.
Eight of the nine men who wrote that 2004 update were on the payroll of companies selling statins. They disclosed it only when forced.
1994: a WHO panel invents osteopenia. Bone that is not thin enough to break, given a name and a prescription. Half of older women qualify.
Nobody got sicker on any of those dates. A committee sat down and a number moved.
The threshold drops, the market widens, and the drug is already licensed and sitting in the warehouse.
Your grandfather was healthy at 145/92. You are ill at 132/81.
Nothing about the body has changed. Only the paperwork, and who profits from it.
Wait the library director which is holding a drag show for children is also the school board president and they partner together for events?? 🚩🚩🚩
The library has apparently now shut down their phone line because they don’t want backlash
They can be emailed here: [email protected]

I agree it is a controversial practice.
But there had to be some reconciliation with the well-developed practice of the Fed. Govt bailing businesses out of bad business decisions, then watching them prosper in the aftermath solely to the benefit of shareholders.
The money spent via the CHIPS Act is a great example.
Yes, expansion of our supply chain in tech was a critical national security issue.
Yes, private industry could develop that capacity much faster than a DOD project.
It was the right decision to put tax dollars to work for that purpose.
But if you structure those Govt funds as a loan, maybe industry walks away and declines.
But if the recipient agrees to deliver a small amount of equity in exchange for the funding to expand -- that's a win-win.
This is why they fund the Democrats. Not because all Democrats believe this, but because those who fund it intend to destroy the country in race violence. El Sayed is just a mannequin. But he’s as happy as Obama was to unleash race violence in America.
The radical left figured out they could shape the direction of the country without having their own kids.
They use the government school system to raise other people’s children in their socialist worldview.
Ace is coming home!!!
Our K9 hero Ace was shot & critically injured protecting deputies and our community on Thursday night……it’s Sunday now, and he’s coming home.
The bad guy who shot Ace was eliminated by his handler and two other deputies at the scene.
Ace’s life was saved through the incredible work of a whole lot of people: his loyal partner, Deputy Natalie Oestreich, who quickly attended to his wounds & carried him to safety; the amazing staff and Dr. Aguayo at Parkway Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Lakeland who stopped his bleeding & stabilized him; the outstanding @TGHCares @
Aeromed crew who got him quickly & safely to the amazing Veterinary Medical Center at Lakewood Ranch, where Dr. Diaz performed the several-hour-long surgery to amputate Ace’s left front leg.
Upon waking from the anesthesia, Ace attempted to walk out of there. He has not been deterred since. In fact he outran the camera attempting to film his release this afternoon!
We would like to thank the following agencies for accompanying us to pick up Ace today and give him a big “welcome home!” @hainescity PD @LakelandPD Winter Haven PD, @HCSOSheriff@ManateeSheriff, Manatee Fire Rescue, Dr. Kerry Jackson from Polk County Animal Control, & of course our entire K9 Unit.
Thank you well and faithful servant, Ace. You are SUCH a good boy. We love you and will always remember your service and your sacrifice. #PolkSheriff #K9Unit #NatAndAce #WelcomeHome
🔴President Trump posts an EYE OPENING chart on inflation that the leftists and fake news will hate. Bottom line, Trump has the lowest inflation over any other President in the past 35 years.
The chart shows cumulative inflation after 48 months in office for the last ten presidential terms. Joe Biden’s term came in at a staggering 21.2 percent, the highest on the list.
By comparison, President Trump’s first term was just 8 percent. And in his second term so far, inflation is only 4.71 percent, the lowest of any president in over 35 years.
The numbers don’t lie. Trump delivers.🇺🇸
Mississippi voters need to get engaged. Habitual low election turnout results in most incumbents staying place. They feel invulnerable and take actions they know their constituents won’t approve of. We have the power to stop the Islamization of our state.
The entire history of communism is communists doing the most horrific things imaginable and then when there’s a backlash they say “Hey man. That was wild huh? Glad all that’s over.”
Stalin would butcher 50,000 people with the NKVD and then do exactly this. Every time.
🚨 Texas, this is the wake-up call!
James Talarico is swimming in campaign cash and flooding the airwaves.
It’s time to stand up, spread the word and back @KenPaxtonTX
Texas stays RED because Texans fight to keep it that way.
Muslims are demanding in Michigan that church bells on Sunday be removed.

Wake up wake up wake up.
Stop focusing on Israel and start paying attention to the radical Muslims in our country.
We need to deport them all.
“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.”
(Romans 13:11-14)
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed claims he’s not a socialist but he wants…
👎 the government to take over our entire healthcare system

👎 governments-set wages
👎 redistribution of wealth
👎 a ban on corporate speech

This scammer owns 3 homes around the world LMAO.
Literally all of these commies are scammers LARPing as victims of capitalism because they think you’re dumb.
@DineshDSouza@ROYALMRBADNEWS Ok - I’m going to say the obvious- the problem is people not taking the time to learn about who is running locally and taking the time to vote - it’s not just McKinney - it’s everywhere-
appropriately 22,000 out of approximately 150,000 registered voters took the time to vote-
