Accepting the Importance of Doing Your Own Reading on Nutrition and Health
What’s something most people don’t understand? When I was a child and teen, I thought it was okay to consume almost anything found at the grocery store. If they sold products there, I figured they must have been good, even nutritious, especially if they were approved by the FDA. I even thought I should follow the food pyramid closely for the reason that we had studied about it in middle school.…

Hi. I've started writing a semi-weekly TB Newsletter, if you're interested in that kind of thing. Here's the second letter--about public-private partnerships, leprosy, and my forthcoming big announcement about expanding access to tuberculosis care. You'll hear more about that on Thursday. Anyway, here's the newsletter. You can sign up here.
---
In advance of the Big Announcement this Thursday, I made a vlogbrothers video today on how we end TB–with the comprehensive care plan often known as S-T-P, which is short for “Search, Treat, and Prevent.” But one thing I didn’t discuss in that video is the downstream benefits of comprehensive TB care.
Once you’ve hired community health workers to screen for TB, it becomes much easier to screen for other illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, and non-TB lung issues (especially lung cancer). TB is notoriously a disease of vicious cycles–a disease of malnutrition that makes malnutrition worse, a disease of poverty that makes poverty worse, and so on–but addressing TB can be a story of virtuous cycles: TB survivors become TB advocates, as I’ve seen with my friend Henry in Sierra Leone. More effective TB treatment leads to less stigmatization of the disease, as communities come to see the disease as curable and survivable rather than terrifying and deadly. And better access to TB care leads to a stronger overall healthcare system, because more community health workers are better connected to more primary healthcare clinics, which allows communities to better address all kinds of health problems.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not the only bacteria of its family that causes a lot of human suffering; there is a closely related species called mycobacterium leprae that causes the disease known as Hansen's Disease, or more commonly leprosy. There are still around 200,000 cases of leprosy diagnosed each year around the world, and while the disease is curable, it also remains–especially if not caught and treated early–a significant driver of suffering and disability in our world. 
There are many connections between TB and leprosy: Not only are the bacteria that cause these illnesses very similar, but patients have often expressed similarities in experience. TB patients who were encouraged or forced to live in sanitariums often compared themselves to lepers. One disheartening parallel between the diseases is that in both cases, those living with these illnesses are often abandoned by their families and must make new social connections within the new community of “leper” or “consumptive.” Also, both Hansen’s Disease and TB continue to exist largely because of systemic failures rather than due to a lack of knowledge or technology.
I really recommend Dr. Salmaan Keshavjee’s TED talk about how we ended TB in the U.S., and how we can end it using the same strategy around the world.
Last link from me today: I’ve been thinking a lot about the complex intersection between public and private investment (for reasons that will be clear on Thursday!) and I keep coming back to one infographic in an excellent paper (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0256883) about the public money that was poured into the creation of the GeneXpert Machine, which can quickly and accurately test for TB. The GeneXpert machine has created a lot of profit for Danaher’s shareholders, and it has also created some societal benefit, but it could create a lot more societal benefit if it created less profit for Danaher’s shareholders. This tension seems to me one of the defining features of 21st century life. Anyway, here is the infographic:
Tumblr media
That’s the money–over $250,000,000 of it–that came from taxpayers (mostly in the U.S. and Europe) to fund the creation of the GeneXpert Machine. And yet, this tech largely funded by the public is controlled entirely by private enterprise. I’m troubled by that model of value allocation, even if I still believe that private money and private enterprise have important roles to play in fueling innovation. But taking a quarter billion dollars of public money and then claiming total ownership over a technology, and using that ownership to deny the technology to the world’s poorest people, seems like a deeply flawed system of resource distribution to me.
I’ll see you on Thursday. I’m nervous and excited.
DFTBA,
John

For years, I sat down to work each morning, realizing hours later that I felt drained, but got little done. Instead of writing, I spent my time texting, emailing, and mostly aimlessly browsing through news sites, blogs, and social networks. Every click triggered another. I tried to regain control by using an app called Freedom that blocked my computer online access for fixed periods of time. Sometimes it helped, especially when I had a work deadline looming. Sometimes it didn’t. But trying to control work time was only part of the struggle. I kept feeling the irresistible urge to pull out my phone wherever I went. At that point, I blamed myself. After all, I was the girl who spent hours playing video games well into college. But something happened in 2015 that made me realize that something much bigger was awry.
It was a Saturday evening when I arrived with my family to a friends’ home for dinner. Their 11-year-old son was playing with his parents’ iPad. When we came in, his parents demanded that he hand it over and join the other kids. The boy at first refused to hand it over. He then tried angrily to snatch it back from his mother, regressing to toddler-style wailing to demand the device. Throughout a long evening he exercised every manipulation tool in his power to regain control of the iPad. As I observed his parents’ despair, I recalled a family conflict that transpired at my parents’ house some years earlier. At that time doctors diagnosed my father, a heavy smoker, with emphysema. My father could have avoided his painful final years, hooked to an oxygen tank, by quitting smoking when he was diagnosed. He refused. We desperately tried to resist his decision by taking his cigarettes away. But like my friends’ son, my father reacted with uncharacteristic anger, exercising every means at his disposal to get his cigarette pack back.
That day I began to see how our present relates to our past. The past can answer one of today’s most perplexing problems. Why, despite multiple reports from Silicon Valley whistleblowers revealing that technology companies are using manipulative designs to prolong our time online, do we feel personally responsible? Why do we still blame ourselves and keep seeking new self-help methods to decrease our time online? We can learn from the past because in this case the tech companies did not innovate. Instead, the technology industry manipulated us following an old playbook, put together by other powerful industries, including the tobacco and food industries. 
When the tobacco and food industries confronted allegations that their products harmed their consumers, they defended themselves by raising the powerful American social icon of self-choice and personal responsibility. This meant emphasizing that consumers are free to make choices and, as a result, are responsible for the outcomes. Smokers and their families sued the tobacco industry for the devastation of smoking, including lung cancer and early death. But, for decades, they failed to win their lawsuits because the tobacco industry argued successfully that they chose to smoke and, therefore, they are responsible for the results. The food industry employed an identical strategy. When a group of teenagers sued McDonald’s because they suffered from obesity and diabetes after eating regularly at McDonald’s, McDonald’s also successfully raised the same claim. It argued that no one forced the teenagers to eat at McDonald’s, and since it was their choice, McDonald’s is not responsible for any health ramifications. The food industry went further. They successfully lobbied for laws known as the “cheeseburger laws” or more formally as the Commonsense Consumption Acts. Under these laws, food manufacturers and vendors cannot be held legally responsible for their consumers’ obesity. Why? Because the laws proclaim that this will foster a culture of consumer personal responsibility, which is important for promoting a healthy society.
The tobacco and food companies did not stop at just arguing directly that their consumers are responsible. They also provided new products to help them make better choices. In the 1950s, researchers published the first studies showing the connection between smoking and lung cancer.  In response, the tobacco companies offered consumers the option to choose a new healthier product: the filtered cigarette. They advertised it as “just what the doctor ordered,” claiming it removed nicotine and tar. Smokers went for it. Yet, they did not know that to compensate for the taste robbed by the filtered cigarette, companies used stronger tobacco that yielded as much nicotine and tar as the unfiltered brands. Here as well, the food industry followed suit. It also offered tools to reinforce that its consumers are in control. Facing criticism of the low nutritional value of their products, food manufacturers added products called “Eating Right” and “Healthy Choice.” While giving consumers the illusion they were making better choices, the diet product lines often made little improvement over the original products.
The tech industry is already applying this strategy by appealing to our deeply ingrained cultural beliefs of personal choice and responsibility. Tech companies do this directly when faced with allegations that they are addicting users. When the US Federal Trade Commission evaluated restricting use of loot boxes, an addictive feature common in video games, video game manufacturers argued: “No one is forced to spend money on a video game that is free to play. They choose what they want to spend and when they want to spend it and how they want to spend it.” But the technology industry also does it indirectly by providing us with tools to enhance our illusion of control. They give us tools like Apple’s Screen Time, which notifies us how much time we spend on screens. They also allow us to restrict time on certain apps, but then we can override these restrictions. We can choose to set our phones on “do not disturb” or “focus times.” We can set Instagram to remind us to take breaks. Yet, screen time continues to creep up. These tools are not successful, because just like the “filtered cigarette” and the “healthy choice” food products, they are not meant to solve the problem. Tech companies did not eliminate the addictive designs that keep prolonging our time online. The goal of these products, also known as digital well-being tools, was to keep the blame ball in our court, as we unsuccessfully face devices and apps that manipulatively entice us to stay on.
Awareness is crucial to stop blaming ourselves, but learning how the battles of the past played out also provides a rich repository for future action. Importantly, it exposes the vulnerabilities of the technology industry’s self-choice and responsibility argument. How? For one, when evidence comes out that businesses intended to addict consumers, it often defeats the industry’s argument that consumers voluntarily chose the products and are responsible for the consequences. In the 1990s, information leaking out of the tobacco companies’ fortress revealed that the tobacco industry knew that nicotine was addictive and manipulated it to maximize consumption by smokers. It was then that courts began attributing more responsibility to the tobacco industry, and smokers finally started winning cases. This is directly relevant today as whistleblowers report that tech companies purposefully addicted their users to prolong their time online, while choosing to ignore the harms. Second, children are the Achilles’ heel of the personal choice and responsibility defense. While many object to making paternalistic choices for adults, choosing for children is acceptable. For example, kids are not allowed to purchase cigarettes. Legal action is already underway to protect kids from the harms of excessive screen time.
Parents are suing social media companies and gamemakers for addicting their kids and causing them mental harm. They are no longer alone. Recently, school systems sued for the costs of treating kids harmed by social networks. Representatives of the US Congress and state legislatures relentlessly propose bills to protect children. Proposals raise different solutions from  imposing liability on social networks should they fail to remove addictive features to prohibiting access to social media for kids. The past illustrates that the weakness of the personal choice and responsibility defense with regard to kids makes this path particularly likely to succeed.
We can also push against the technology industry’s business model. Under this model, we get products like Gmail and Instagram for free. Still we pay, though not in money. We pay with our time and data. In recent years, government agencies filed antitrust actions against Big Tech. If successful, these actions could destabilize the prevailing business model. For example, should an action against Meta, which currently holds Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, succeed, and break it up, it will likely encourage competition. Competition could push toward alternative business models, such as subscriptions or pay-as-you-go. When a company’s business model does not rely on our time as its main resource, its need to design products that maximize our time online diminishes.
While a movement to battle technology is underway, it cannot rely on lawyers alone. Parents can influence schools to better assess and limit incorporation of technology into the classroom. Business owners can impact use of screens on their premises. For example, restaurant owners can decide not to replace menus with QR codes, thereby reducing the likelihood that patrons will take their phone out during the meal. Online entrepreneurs can opt for an alternative business model, one that is not based on advertising and user time. Technology designers can evaluate whether to design a feature aimed primarily at keeping users online for longer. We have many options to make a collective impact. Changing norms and business operations is possible. Looking at the past illustrates the possibilities of the future. We could never imagine bars without cigarettes, but they became our reality. So can a better-balanced tech future.

I’m brazilian so I apologize in advance for my broken english. I just want to put my two cents in cause I was at the stadium on Saturday when the show was postponed minutes before it was scheduled to begin and I was there on Monday when the show actually happened and all I can say is that the last few days have been some of the worst of my life. Not only I saved for months to be able to afford the tickets to see the show but also I got in debt just so I could fly to rio. With the show being postponed last minute I had to pay an insane amount of money for a hotel to stay in (money I didn’t have btw) otherwise I would have to sleep in the streets. I have diabetes and the insolation almost made me pass out during the hours queueing to enter the stadium. And of course, the worst of all things, what happened to Ana and the way taylor handled the situation. It became so clear to me that she doesn’t care about us. We’re nothing to her. On monday she rushed through songs, she didn’t do all the talking she usually does, she barely talked to us. I feel like she resents brazilian fans bc one of us dared to die during one of her concerts which is such an inconvenience to her
I'm so sorry anon! I know it sucks how ts became a billionaire with hard earned money from people like you by playing with your emotions and pretending to care about you. But this parasocial relationship is just a marketing strategy built by her. She doesn’t care about her fans, especially if they are poc people from developing countries. And she for sure resents her brazilian fans because they raised their voice against her. Her narcissistic ass is very pissed and she made it clear with her last show. Some fans were there to see her for the first time in their lives. She had cancelled the show once which caused them much trouble, she should've been extra generous to them for causing them such inconvenience. But what she did was rush through the songs and act like she resents them.

Members of the qsmp have come up with a fascinating negotiation strategy where you come up with reasons someone would discriminate against you and then accuse your opponent of not doing what you want because they are discriminating against you.
Anyways apparently (according to etoiles who is using this as a negotiation tactic) foolish doesn't want to show etoiles his tank because etoiles is french, Arab, and diabetic (definitely not because what I assume to be his reason which would be that the tank is very incomplete. This is what I think is the most logical reason that makes sense)
Also foolish missed a good excuse as to why not which would be to say that the tank is very sugary because etoiles was saying that "you throw sugar at me and I die"
Additional note: throwing sugar at diabetic people will not kill them on any reasonable situation. Sugar cannot be ingested through the skin. But I'm really good at coming up with loopholes.

Highlights
"COVID-19 induced new-onset diabetes has raised widespread concerns. Increased glucose concentration and insulin resistance levels were observed in the COVID-19 patients."
"There is a bidirectional relationship between COVID-19 and diabetes. It is well known that diabetes increases the risk of severe COVID-19."
"On the other hand, SARS-CoV-2 infections have been associated with increased rates of new-onset diabetes, and the diabetic effects may persist even after infection recovery."
"SARS-CoV-2 can infect pancreatic β-cells, liver, muscle and adipose tissue, which in turn affects insulin secretion and induces insulin resistance. In spite of the many studies, there is still controversy about how SARS-CoV-2 causes β cell damage and insulin resistance."

Lowering Blood Sugar: A Comprehensive Guide to Better Health
Introduction
In the realm of health management, few factors are as crucial as maintaining optimal blood sugar levels. Whether you're managing diabetes or striving for overall well-being, understanding how to lower blood sugar effectively is essential. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview of strategies for lowering blood sugar, encompassing lifestyle modifications, dietary interventions, exercise routines, stress management techniques, and more.

Sugar Defender
Understanding Blood Sugar
Blood sugar, also known as glucose, serves as the primary source of energy for cells throughout the body. It is derived from the foods we consume, particularly carbohydrates, and is regulated by the hormone insulin. Maintaining blood sugar within a normal range is vital for proper bodily function, as both high and low levels can have detrimental effects on health.
Tumblr media
Risks of High Blood Sugar
High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, poses significant risks to health, including an increased likelihood of developing diabetes complications such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney dysfunction, and vision problems. Additionally, prolonged hyperglycemia can impair immune function, leading to a higher susceptibility to infections and delayed wound healing.
Lifestyle Modifications for Lowering Blood Sugar
While genetics may play a role in blood sugar regulation, lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress management exert significant influence. By implementing targeted lifestyle modifications, individuals can effectively lower their blood sugar levels and reduce their risk of developing diabetes-related complications.
Dietary Strategies for Lowering Blood Sugar
Diet plays a central role in blood sugar management, with certain foods and eating patterns exerting notable effects on glucose levels. Emphasizing low glycemic index foods, such as non-starchy vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, can help stabilize blood sugar and prevent spikes. Additionally, consuming fiber-rich foods, practicing portion control, and staying hydrated contribute to improved blood sugar control.

Exercise and Physical Activity
Regular physical activity is a cornerstone of blood sugar management, as exercise enhances insulin sensitivity and facilitates glucose uptake by muscles. Both aerobic exercises, such as walking, cycling, and swimming, and resistance training activities, such as weightlifting and bodyweight exercises, offer benefits for lowering blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, supplemented by strength training exercises on two or more days.
Stress Management Techniques
Stress exerts a significant impact on blood sugar levels, as hormonal responses to stress can elevate glucose concentrations in the bloodstream. Implementing stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation, can help mitigate these effects and promote better blood sugar control. Additionally, prioritizing adequate sleep and fostering a supportive social network contribute to overall stress reduction.
Tumblr media
Medications and Supplements for Lowering Blood Sugar
In some cases, lifestyle modifications alone may not be sufficient to achieve optimal blood sugar control, necessitating the use of medications or supplements. Oral medications such as metformin, sulfonylureas, and DPP-4 inhibitors work by various mechanisms to lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. For individuals with type 1 diabetes or advanced type 2 diabetes, insulin therapy may be necessary to regulate blood sugar effectively. Additionally, certain natural supplements and herbs, such as chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, and cinnamon, have shown potential for supporting blood sugar management, although further research is needed to elucidate their efficacy and safety.
Monitoring Blood Sugar Levels
Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential for assessing the effectiveness of treatment strategies and making informed adjustments as needed. Depending on individual circumstances, blood sugar monitoring may involve self-testing with a glucometer, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, or laboratory-based hemoglobin A1c testing. Establishing target blood sugar goals in collaboration with healthcare providers helps guide treatment decisions and optimize outcomes.

Conclusion
Lowering blood sugar levels is a multifaceted endeavor that requires a holistic approach encompassing dietary modifications, regular exercise, stress management, medication adherence, and vigilant monitoring. By adopting proactive strategies tailored to individual needs and preferences, individuals can achieve better blood sugar control, reduce their risk of diabetes complications, and enhance their overall quality of life. Remember, small changes can yield significant benefits, so start implementing positive habits today for a healthier tomorrow.
