Long time lurker a lot and finally have something to contribute... https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/ocr-text-from-screen-sho...

A great and seemingly minimally biased resource for this type of preventative care(mentioned in the article):

https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/BrowseRec/Inde...

It presents an evidence based pros v cons listing on screening and tries to present a informed approach, with less financial bias. The most toxic component of this entire issues also has to do with a form of defensive medicine that physicians engage in. Basically if you don't want problems don't look for them, not to say all physicians engage in this type of behavior. This mentality is very common amongst the older generations of physicians who fear the repercussion associated with minor mistakes.. Ie. doctor sends patient for CT suspicious finding are noted, doctor forgets to order future followup or some other variety of mistake... Patient ends up having cancer and the physician is slapped with a malpractice suit.

I like your comment, I only disagree with the word "spirit". I believe this policy is a slippery slope. No one likes these groups but alienating them, creates a precedent/a policy that legitimizes removal of the one element of our existence that allows for our individuality(spirit). Silence of that which we loathe is failure to embrace our own capacity for loathsome behavior. We all like and dislike different elements in our life. I am a married man; is this not discriminatory to the rest of society. When a corporate entity profits this much off the indoctrination of public, they should be obligated to enforce the tenants of said republic.

“It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.”

“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years.”

From a physicians standpoint I am very impressed with the accuracy of the comments on this article. There are a few sticking points/arguable conjectures being made but overall an excellent discourse on a multifaceted topic such as insulin/glucose metabolism....
