Which Is Worse — Sugar Or Fat?

By
UK twins, Alexander and Chris van Tulleken, decided to use their own bodies to figure out which foods are worse: sugars or fats? In a month-long experiment, the 35-year-old brothers challenged themselves, with one giving up sugar and the other giving up fat, to decide which of them would lose the most weight. In the end, they decided that complete elimination of either food item from their diets was probably bad for their health.

Dr Yu Kang - As time passes in a pandemic there's a greater chance of survival for those getting infected 3 months later like June 2020 than those who got infected 3 months earlier say February 2020. The reason for this is that Doctors and scientists know more about Covid-19 now than 3 months ago and hence are able to treat patients better.

Daily confirmed new cases (5-day moving average)
Outbreak evolution for the current 10 most affected countries

I will list *5 important things* that we know now that we didn't know in February 2020 for your understanding.

1. COVID-19 was initially thought to cause deaths due to *pneumonia- a lung infection*- and so Ventilators were thought to be the best way to treat sick patients who couldn't breathe. *Now we are realising that the virus causes blood clots in the blood vessels of the lungs* and other parts of the body and this causes the reduced oxygenation . Now we know that just providing oxygen by ventilators will not help but we have…

Reviews on Dermatologists in Singapore 2020: A Guide to Seeing a Dermatologist

By

If you are looking for dermatologist reviews, prices and recommended dermatologists in Singapore, you are in the right place. 

Just so that we are on the same page, a skin specialist is a dermatologist if he holds a professional medical degree with further post-graduate training in skin diseases. We wouldn't call someone working at a spa a skin specialist though, but if you have a skin related problem and has not been well self-managed or by a general practitioner, you may wish to be referred to a skin specialist or a dermatologist.



If you are looking for an affordable dermatologist or are worried that the dermatologists in the private sector are expensive, you could always try to get a referral to see a dermatologist in the public or government sectors e.g. National Skin Centre, SGH or NUH. However, they may not allow you to make appointment directly without a referral from either a general practitioner or a medical officer from the primary care department or via a polyclinic refe…

The coronavirus pandemic has turned the world’s attention to the immune system, the body’s defence force against disease-causing bacteria, viruses and other organisms that we touch, ingest and inhale every day.

Of late, there are also dozens of supplements and treatments that claim to prevent or treat COVID19, but which ones actually work? Below, we look at some of the best options and what the existing research says about them.

How to help your immune system
