Dentists also saw improvements in patients’ cholesterol and fatty acid levels, both associated with heart health

If a looming root canal treatment is putting a dampener on the week, take heart: having the procedure can drive health benefits that are felt throughout the body, according to research.

Patients who were successfully treated for root canal infections saw their blood sugar levels fall significantly over two years, suggesting that ridding the body of the problematic bacteria could help protect against type 2 diabetes.

Dentists also saw improvements in patients’ blood cholesterol and fatty acid levels, both of which are associated with heart health. Yet more benefits were seen around inflammation, a driver for cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions.

    schumer specifically, hes the one orchestrated it behind the scenes, he only was against it publically, because looks bad in optics. he holds all the cards in funding senate campagins, he has as power as mitch did with the gop.

      He is highly despised right now, by EVERYBODY. He sat by and allowed MAGA to happen. While McConnell could get anything done, even without a majority, Schmuckie can’t do anything, even when he had majorities.

      He’s been incredibly weak, cowardly, and corrupt, when we most needed a warrior. AOC could easily humiliate him in the primary, the way she did Markey to get her seat.

      And Schmuck shouldn’t be alone. A LOT of Dems should get primaried next year. They’ll either lose to a more motivated candidate, or they’ll get a clue, and start doing their jobs.

        hes basically a AIPAC stooge, much like mitch is moscow mitch. hes distinctly remember a post/sub discussing it was 13 others dems that were being shielded from being primaried, so they took the 8 that wernt up for election next year. i think its the 13 dems that are up for elections in '26, im betting its those 13 that also support the end of shutdown but couldnt because of being primaried.
