ACE-i And ARB Medications May Reduce Colorectal Cancer Risk
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-i) or angiotensin II receptor
blocker (ARB) medications are prescribed for conditions such as heart
failure, high blood pressure or heart disease. They inhibit or block
angiotensin, a chemical that causes arteries to become narrow, so are
commonly prescribed for people with high blood pressure to relax and open
blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
They may also lower risk of colorectal cancer risk, the third most common
cancer and second leading cause of cancer death worldwide.

Asthma Doesn't Increase Risk Or Severity Of COVID-19
Though old age, respiratory issues, blood clots, and obesity are risk
factors for likelihood and severity of COVID-19, one group in the
respiratory section needn't worry more; asthmatics.
Asthma does not appear to increase the risk for a person contracting
COVID-19 or influence its severity.

Obesity Is A Co-Morbidity In Everything, Including COVID-19
Coronavirus and the COVID-19 disease it brings does not discriminate on
race, creed, or color, but it does target people with pre-existing
conditions. Like age, respiratory issues, and obesity, which are risk
factors for nearly everything. And that can translate into cultural
disparity.
Obese European minorities are up to two times higher the risk of
contracting COVID-19 than white Europeans, a study has found. The study
used body mass index (BMI), a controversial metric with numerous
confounders, so caution is warranted, and cardiometabolic health. The

Though Claims Of Projected Deaths Were Wildly Exaggerated, Sweden Would've Saved Some Lives With A Lockdown

deaths and greater healthcare demand than seen in countries with earlier,
more stringent intervention.

A Thin Blue Line? What to do about bad cops. Light is our best friend.
The "*thin blue line*" is a monicker used to stand for police, asserting
they are the slender bulwark which keeps society from descending into
violent chaos. A more extreme, adversarial emblem of cop solidarity in the
face of oppression by an ingrate citizenry - often appearing on tattoos -
is the skull symbol from the Punisher comic series. These memes have spread
avidly, now in counter-beat to “Defund the Police” and both of them elicit
hand-rubbing glee in Kremlin basement troll farms. (And so - to an extent -

white guilt, that's a narrow field. Maybe the expansion into the kitchen

This Is Why Sturm, Ruger & Co. Is America’s Top Gun Manufacturer
*Peter Suciu*
*Security, Americas*

simple handguns, which were little more than copies of a captured Japanese
Nambu pistol that he had purchased from a returning marine after the war.
Considering that Sturm, Ruger & Company was only founded after World War II
it might seem like a surprise that from 2009–2012 the company was the
top-seller of handguns in the United States. Moreover, from 1949 to 2004 Ruger
Firearms, as it is also known, manufactured more than twenty million
firearms and has shown no signs o... more »

The Truth About Almond Milk: Industry Insider’s Shocking Admission.
There’s no way to sugar coat this: mass-produced dairy products are

perfect replacement. It turns out it may not be the case, at least
considering the way commercial almond milks are being made. While almond
milk has gained a solid reputation as a healthy planted-based alternative,
