Even if they succeed, will grocery stores move these products? Where else would they put them? With the refrigerated juice?

Without regulation, yes, it’s easy to get confused. When MILK is in large letters and you have to read the small print to find out what it is, there is a problem. I don’t say that they shouldn’t be allowed to use the word milk, but the qualifier (like “Soy” or “Almond”) needs to be as prominent as the word Milk, and…

I think you have missed the entire point of the salt and tequila. It’s not to add a slight flavor to the drink, but to numb the taste buds with pure NaCl to cut the fusel taste of the tequila.
The alternative isn’t to mix salt into the margarita, but to serve salt on the side, so you can put a pinch in your mouth…

There is no such thing as “a complete protein”. There are hundreds of different proteins, each of which are built from different combinations of amino acids, which they are broken down into when you digest the protein. There is no single protein that contains all the nine essential amino acids which your body cannot…

I think the important part of plant protein is you have to mix a variety of sources to get a complete amino acid profile.

There are risks with both the UTI itself and with antibiotics. You seem to not enter the latter into the equation. If there is an overwhelming chance of getting well without antibiotics, and a non-negligible risk of complications from antibiotics, my choice will be to avoid it.

Very thoughtful and informative - thank you.
I almost wish there were alternatives to doctors that doesn’t require going through a doctor first, because unfortunately, some just reach for the pad. I already knew I had contracted diabetes when I went to her (mainly because of foot neuropathy, blurry vision after eating,…

But no, the majority of patients do not get it done with diet and exercise (I can’t move in with them and make them do it).

I wish doctors would also answer “is this test useful?” before requesting it. Crossing off 20 different tests seems to be standard these days, and it’s the patient paying, not the doctor, so mere curiosity or dragnet testing should not ever be a reason, nor testing for something where the value of the result won’t affe…

So I’ll say, then your best option is insulin therapy. Refused. OK, but your HBA1C of > 10% is going to destroy you much more quickly than any options there.

I’m absolutely happy to have a conversation with a patient who has concerns about these drugs and if they want to wait for a culture and sensitivity to come back before we start empiric treatment, happy to do that as well.

Sure, there literally is nothing to actually protect your image once you’re in a public space

You are in public. There is no reason to expect privacy when you are in a public place

Love to read but don’t have the team to sit down and actually read a book?

They’re “fairly” common here in the reasonably well-off North-East. I’d guess that at least one out of four weddings in this area are black tie, dress and hat for the ladies, and more popular within certain immigrant/heritage groups than others.
That said, I’ve been to a beach wedding where the requested attire was…

Maybe it’s a regional thing, but I’ve never been to a wedding where the guests were expected to wear black tie. The dressiest weddings around here require a suit for the men, not a tux.

It’s very rare to come across an establishment where you have to be dressed up to dine at.

the only faux pas would have been if either of them were wearing socks with sandals or flip flops.

Slides are sandals without a heel strap.
Flip-flops are toe-divided sandals without a heel strap.
