Drug Expiration Dates — Do They Mean Anything? - Harvard Health
health.harvard.edu/staying-hea

Most of what is known about drug expiration dates comes from a study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration at the request of the military. With a large and expensive stockpile of drugs, the military faced tossing out and replacing its drugs every few years. What they found from the study is 90% of more than 100 drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, were perfectly good to use even 15 years after the expiration date.

Is the expiration date a marketing ploy by drug manufacturers, to keep you restocking your medicine cabinet and their pockets regularly? You can look at it that way. Or you can also look at it this way: The expiration dates are very conservative to ensure you get everything you paid for.

Saving the is more important than planting trees to stop . This is why

If we helped whales return to their pre-whaling numbers of 4- to 5 million (up from 1.3 million today), researchers say they could capture 1.7 billion tonnes of CO2 annually - with the cost of protecting them at just $13 per person a year.

So, made some modifications to my profile. Just posting this as an update to have a log.

A great mathematician legend from Bihar who worked for NASA in landing of first man on moon and also achieved breakthrough in mathematics died yesterday. Suffering from schizophrenia he left academics and returned to his village Bhojpur. No one was there to look after him. He just solve problems regularly and used to teach some poor kids. Although living in poor conditions, he never complained. No one came from any authority to atleast check on him.It just feels like he had been used and thrown . He died lying on a stretcher outside hospital. No ambulance or any service was provided by government . This is truly nadir of our society.
May his soul rest in peace. A true inspiration- Vashishtha Narayan singh

Left is constantly targeting me on Twitter just because I support free speech and welcome everyone on my server. 😅

Sometimes the best solutions require, tough and bold decisions. These decisions are often unpopular, and the paradox here is that popularity is an important tool to facilitate the functioning of Democracy.

As you already said, risking your popularity to do the right and most rational thing requires some balls(gender neutral).

The global media will hate you, the UN will shame you, but the people on the ground, who live the reality will thank you.
