What is the diagnosis?
In patients with cirrhosis, always try to find the cause in those who present early. There is no idiopathic, no cryptogenic. Its all 'missed' cirrhosis.

Ok some friends sent me private messages that I was harsh on Rachit. They feel that I have to correct Rachit's presumed "Busting" of my tweet content by "Busting" his tweet content on mine. So here goes. Stay for the real science friends. Image

Rachit says creatine is FOR ALL but gives no evidence to back his claims and goes on to copy paste biochemistry of creatine from a Google search.

International Society of Sports Nutrition position specifies creatine use in sports & athletics only...

...and not in others. There is some inconclusive data in patients with muscular dystrophy and aging population, but they are not solid recommendations. In fact all recommendations are in training professionals only and not otherwise.

Collateral damage. Local creatine dealer feeling the heat. Image
A Gym-bro tries to debunk the factual details I have provided (he claims "everything busted") in the tweet but instead, lands head-on, in his own epic sh*t.

2 mins of silence for all the people who ditched table sugar, and opted for jaggery as healthy sugar alternative, & special 2 more mins of silence for the ones drinking sugarcane juice after watching health benefits advertised on YouTube, FB, & WhatsApp. You've all been scammed.
You can add this so called "orthodontist" to the likes of Luke Coutinho "superdumb" nutritionists cult. The idiotic explanations are so cringe, all you have to do is check the carb, calorie and sucrose profiles before making a fool of yourself. Image
Ok this tweet has blown up. But something very interesting to note is that every contradicting comment, harassment response, and abusive QT are from "proud Indian" nationalist and "proud Hindu" and Ayurveda and Yoga sympathizers, mostly from North India, who has taken this tweet… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
