#Toxicnewsrooms? Ask me. I saw someone literally die in front of me. He suffered a massive heart attack and breathed his last in an e-rickshaw on way to LNJP. Before we talk about #toxicworkculture, first we need to understand what is a #toxicworkplace. @IndEditorsGuildv
“...a workplace that is marked by significant infighting, where personal battles often harm productivity. Toxic workplaces are often considered the result of toxic employers and/or toxic employees who are motivated by personal gain (power, money, fame, or special status)
, use unethical, mean-spirited, and sometimes illegal means to manipulate people …” Toxic workers do not recognize a duty to organization or their co-workers in terms of ethics or professional conduct. They don’t recognize merit and thrive in an atmosphere of favouritism
Unveiling the Paradox: Do Statins Fuel the Fire of Heart Disease?
This is a deep dive 🧵into the mechanistic relationship between statins and coronary heart disease.

The ‘bad & good cholesterol hypothesis’ has lost its foundation.
Although lowering the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio is possible with drugs such as statins, this is not effective in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Although lowering the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio is possible with drugs such as statins, this is not effective in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Proxy measurements such as LDL-C are a breeding ground for scientific arrogance.
Does the measurement really mean what you think it means?
Have you looked into the assumptions that connect the proxy and the real thing?
Let's dig in.

Washington DC City Council member @CMBrookePinto introduced the 2023 Vehicular #Noise Reduction Act to create a #noisecamera pilot program, subsidies for vehicle-repair costs, and a study on how to reduce #vehicularnoise⏳ @pvdcitycouncil @JohnGPVD lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/B2…
“The #VehicularNoise Reduction Act would create a two-year pilot program to use a combination of #noise-detection devices, video cameras, and automated ticketing to hopefully cut down on vehicles with purposely loud or bad mufflers on DC roads.” @PVDMayor dcist.com/story/23/01/19…
Washington DC ‘Gets’ It: City Councilmember @CMBrookePinto says that “excessive #noise from revving engines and other #roadnoise is a quality-of-life issue that can alter sleep; disrupt business, educational, and social settings; and create stress.” @pvdcitycouncil @PVDMayor 👂⚠️

2. Physical inactivity is linked to various health problems like #type2diabetes, #heartdisease, #cancer, and more. This is partly because of the accumulation of visceral fat, which triggers #inflammation in the body and promotes the development of these diseases.
3. Exercise has been found to have a protective effect against these chronic inflammation-related diseases, thanks to its anti-inflammatory effect. Regular exercise can reduce visceral fat mass and create an anti-inflammatory environment in the body.
#JoeRogan @joerogan and @DrAseemMalhotra misled you again, willfully, on vaccine myocarditis and statins, on the Joe Rogan show. Here, I explain how. 🧵

One part of his presentation focuses on statins, and the controversy surrounding his project with Abramson/ Malhotra et al about the risk/ benefit ratio of statins. As a quick recap, statins are intended to lower cholesterol, and Malhotra's position is that...
as many people as possible should stop their statins and focus on exercise. This narrative is as usual based upon distortions of the evidence, and normal cardiologists don't need to distort the evidence to make their point.

Emulsifiers! You unknowingly consume them daily. They are in almost every readymade food. But what are these and what impact they have on your #health. In below thread, i explore the world of #emulsifiers and why you should avoid them. #HealthyLiving #weightloss #processedfood
Emulsifiers are detergent that combine different substances together. Certain substances in food are water soluble & others are fat soluble. How to mix them together? Add emulsifiers & voila - problem solved
The emulsifiers mostly have names that is difficult to pronounce but you can see them in food ingredients list on packaging. Common ones are polysorbate 20, 60 or 80 (P80), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), sorbitran, propylene glycol, sodium stearoyl lactylate, Gum arabic
Analysis of data from >30 million people finds that one in ten early deaths could be prevented if everyone managed at least half the @NHSuk recommended level of physical activity.

To examine how differing levels of physical activity alter the risk of heart disease, cancer and premature death, the researchers looked at data from 94 large cohort studies, totaling more than 30 million participants.

If your body can’t properly reduce sugar from the bloodstream, you’ll experience #InsulinResistance. Cells can no longer swell to accommodate excess sugar, and stop responding to higher insulin.
The result is narrowed vessels and restricted blood flow.

If you have a history of heart disease in your family, it's especially important to know the symptoms and what to do. And if you're having symptoms, it's a game of minutes. Do NOT wait to call an ambulance. Every minute counts. #HeartDisease #HeartAttack mayoclinic.org/diseases-condi…
Also, I feel the need to say this: My brother never smoked, did not drink, exercised regularly, was not overweight nor did he have diabetes. He had a super healthy diet too. But he was always stressed.
Stress is not worth your life. It's the thing we do not talk about enough.

Maybe you haven't been affected by your experience of #ACEs Maybe you had enough mitigating experiences of #BCEs or #PCEs Maybe you pulled yourself up by your bootstraps. Maybe you were able to access resources in early adulthood to prevent or redirect long term effects.
Maybe the effects of your #ACEs and #ChildhoodToxicStress just haven't shown up in your physiology yet. #Cancer #HeartDisease #Diabetes #COPD #Obesity #AutoimmuneDisease #Suicide #Depression have all been shown to also occur in people with histories of #ChildAbuse #ChildNeglect
