TW:
1. There are many antidepressents rigourusly tested for clinical depression.
2. Mid-severe depression may not be resolved with counselling alone.
3. If you are on antidepressents, abruptly stopping them w/o consulting can lead to severe side effects like suicidal thoughts.
4. If an antidepressant isn't working out for you, please see a specialist to recommend you another one.
5. If you have suicidal thoughts, even though you think they will not be acted upon, do not ignore them. Please speak to someone close & or a professional.

Please be sensitive about the trend and do no post misinformation on depression & suicide. A tweet with misinfo got deleted here. Posting my response to that tweet. #depression

Best thing I have read today:
"Statistics means never having to say you are certain. If a statistical conclusion ever seems certain, you probably are misunderstanding something. The whole point of statistics is to quantify uncertainty."
I am going to keep this going for now:
"Every statistical inference is based on a list of assumptions. Don't try to interpret any statistical results until after you have reviewed that list...1/3
...An assumption behind every statistical calculation is that the data were randomly sampled, or at least representative of, a larger population of values that could have been collected...2/3

The pH range is 0 (strong acidic)- 7 (neutral) - 14 (strong base).
A pH above 14 doesn't exist. Viruses have RNA (ribonucleic acid), protein & lipids as their components. Acidity is measured by Isoelectric point pH (I) is the pH at which molecules have no net electric charge.1/n
...Since, most proteins and lipids are considered weakly acidic, the myth of using alkaline foods to counter the protein in the virus may have started. It's true that most proteins 'may' be structurally altered or unfolded in high alkaline/acidic pH. But, humans are mammals..2/n
...And mammals are not reptiles. We have good homeostatic capacity to regulate temperature and pH in our body. So it is very hard to make yourself 'too acidic' or 'too basic' with food. You can have more acid/base in your blood in a condition called acidosis or alkalosis...3/n

Mr @SadhguruJV, no one challenged that mother's milk can possibly be altered as/ the baby's gender, plus factors like duration of lactation, mother's diet+body, mother's genetics, etc. The contesting claim was only specific to twin babies & each breast producing different milk.
The other factors like mother's diet and frequency of lactation probably have a larger impact on the milk composition than the gender itself. It is impossible to determine impact of gender behind composition due to many confounding factors which can never be verified on its own..
The article by facthunt.in actually uses only one scientific study. Rest are blogs which also mention the other confounding factors such as mother's age, baby's age, duration of feed, time of feed, mother's diet and her environment....
