The story of Bernt Herlitz, a dental hygienist from the Swedish island of Gotland, came under the spotlight in 2016 when he revealed an unpleasant truth. Herlitz was analyzing the teeth of "unaccompanied" minor migrants who started to arrive in the Scandinavian country as the worst refugee crisis since WWII struck Europe. It turned out that wisdom teeth of the 'children' were fully grown in 80 percent of cases, a sign clearly showing that Herlitz' patients were far from being underage.
"If you have an X-ray you can easily see that the person is over or under 18 years old. About 80 percent were grown-ups," he said, speaking to RT.
Herlitz shared his concerns with an immigration officer who advised him to file a report about his findings. Yet the reaction from his employers was not so bright – they fired him, arguing he'd violated medical confidentiality.
"I was fired because I followed the instruction that the woman from the immigration office gave me. I sent an email to the immigration office that I could confirm those people were over 18 years old," he continued.
The dental hygienist then sued his employers and won damages. But the Region of Gotland appealed to the highest labor court in Stockholm and hired one of Sweden's top-ranking lawyers "to crush" him, as he says on his website. On July 4 he learned that he lost his case and also admitted "economically bankrupted him and his family." The dentist, who had worked in the sector for 10 years, was fined some 475,000 kroner ($54,000).

text: "Unsatisfactory" is the rating given by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to public transportation in Israel's cities. In the full report summarizing the IMF's visit last month, published today, the IMF explains how Israel has come to lag far behind OECD countries in infrastructure, and why the gap cannot be closed without raising taxes or eliminating tax exemptions. The writers of the report handle the politically explosive issue of public transportation on the Sabbath gingerly, but do not refrain from stating that this is one of the main reasons for road congestion. They state that the level of public transportation in urban areas in Israel is clearly unsuitable to the needs of a growing population with a high standard of living, adding that the fact that public transportation in Israel does not operate on Sabbaths and holidays creates a powerful incentive for urban residents to buy private vehicles. As a result, road congestion in Israel is the highest of any OECD country by a wide margin. The IMF estimates that road congestion cost passengers an average of 60 minutes a day in 2012 and says that the problem will worsen in the coming years, due to the projected rapid rise in the number of vehicles. In an in-depth analysis, IMF's economists explain the roots of the problem reflected in daily congestion at the entrances to Tel Aviv and elsewhere. They say that since the mid-1990s, Israeli governments have invested too little in infrastructure as a result of a tight budget policy designed to reduce public debt. As a result of this policy, public investment in Israel has fallen to less than 2% of GDP in recent years, compared with an average of 3% of GDP annually in the first half of the 1990s. The IMF states that the cumulate infrastructure gap between Israel and the reference countries amounts to 35-40% of GDP, while a study conducted by McKinsey for the Ministry of Finance Accountant General department reports a gap of "only" 20% of GDP. 1% of GDP is equivalent to NIS 12 billion. The IMF describes in detail the actions taken by the Israeli government to close the yawning infrastructure gap. According to the IMF, the government is operating according to two multi-year infrastructure investment plans: an Investment for Growth plan in 2017-2021 and an Infrastructure 2030 plan scheduled to continue for five years after the current plan. The IMF writes that the Investment for Growth plan includes investment totaling NIS 107 billion in transportation, education, social services, and construction, NIS 41.7 billion of which will come from the state budget and the rest from fees, levies, and financing to be raised by the private sector (in private public partnership (PPP) project). The IMF states that the Infrastructure 2030 plan is designed to increase investment in high-speed and underground railway networks in the Greater Metropolitan Tel Aviv Region, construction of a high-speed train to Eilat, and one new airport in both southern and northern Israel. RELATED ARTICLES The new siege of Jerusalem Freight trains fail to push trucks off jammed roads Israel's transport planning off the rails In the second section, in a report about infrastructure, IMF's economists analyze in depth using macroeconomic models the options available to the state for closing the historical infrastructure gap. For example, in considering whether to invest in roads or mass transit systems, the IMF says that investment in roads gives a quicker return in the early years, but after eight years, a mass transit system gives a larger return, although the rates of return are strongly affected by the system's efficiency. In considering the options for financing the huge investments needed in infrastructure, the IMF considers a number of possible scenarios. For example, if the state wants to pay for the additional investment by raising taxes, it will have to raise VAT from 17% to 21% within two years. If the government prefers raising income tax instead of VAT, it will have to increase the average rate from 25% to 27%. The IMF actually recommends a third alternative: reducing tax benefits by NIS 12 million a year, which it believes will achieve the best results. The Ministry of Finance estimates that tax benefits and exemptions will reduce state revenue by NIS 66.7 billion in 2019. Poverty and inequality will increase Barring substantial rapid changes in government policy, poverty and inequality will again increase in the coming years, mainly because of the growth in the haredi (ultra-Orthodox Jewish) and Arab population groups, the IMF's final report on Israel published today warns. The IMF advocates a major expansion in negative income tax, basic changes in occupational training, the introduction of core curriculum subjects in haredi schools, and expansion of welfare programs for poor people, while making them contingent on completion of courses providing occupational skills. According to the IMF, in order to narrow the gap in productivity and labor force participation among poor people in Israel, comprehensive reform increasing resources for education and occupational training is needed, in addition to measures for reducing the wage gap between men and women. If the income gap between different groups and between men and women can be narrowed, output can be increased by 22% by 2030. Two thirds of the added output will come from narrowing the gap between men and women. The IMF also recommends changing welfare policy in order to reduce inequality, but this must be done without increasing the negative incentives to work. The IMF report therefore states that welfare payments should be made contingent on going to work or undergoing occupational training. In order to generate the necessary resources, the government should consider changes in priorities, reforms to enhance the effectiveness of teacher training institutions, or increasing state revenues. The IMF report stresses that over half of the women who either do not enter the labor market or do not work full-time are refraining from working part or full-time in order to take care of children. The report states that this situation is a result of the inadequate supply of pre-school childcare institutions. Public spending on pre-school childcare in Israel is 0.1% of GDP, among the lowest in the developed countries, compared with 0.5-1% in Scandinavia. Due to the high proportion of women working part-time, their proportion among managers and entrepreneurs is low. According to the IMF's figures, the gap between men and women is 76% among entrepreneurs and 46% among managers.

- SHOW: Consumer Electronics Show (CES)
- LOCATION: Las Vegas Convention Center (Las Vegas, Nevada)
- CLIENT: Polaroid Instant Print Category
- INDUSTRY: Technology
- ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE: Kyle Moeller
After 50 years, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has evolved into the world's largest gathering of consumer technologies. With over 184,000 attendees, CES has become a proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies. In addition, it has also become the perfect place to unveil new products to eager consumers.
CES features massive halls dedicated to over 3,900 exhibitors in product categories. These categories include the Internet of things (IOT), wearable technology, automotive, health and wellness, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and more.
Polaroid Instant Print Category partnered with Absolute Exhibits to design a 7,200 square foot interactive custom exhibit that brought to life the modern capabilities and nostalgic fun that is central to their brand. After years of exhibiting at CES, Polaroid wanted to insert a spirit of fun into its custom exhibit to show off an array of new products.
Concept and Design:
Founded in 1926, Polaroid is an iconic brand that has come to embody both the nostalgia of instant analog camera as well as modern instant digital cameras. Originally, Polaroid allowed consumers to view their photos instantly when developing film often took days. However, in the digital age, Polaroid has stepped in to develop a solution for those who no longer take the time to print out their photos- their instant print category.
Absolute Exhibits was challenged to blend modernity with nostalgia in a seamless open footprint custom exhibit for Polaroid Instant Print Category.
Absolute Exhibits built a fully custom exhibit, which featured custom larger than life 3D camera props mounted on pedestals framing the exhibit space. As a focal point, a 2 tiered double-sided fabric hanging sign announced the brand and its products overhead in this custom exhibit. Beneath the sign, custom printing further displayed Polaroid products. And surrounding the booth, multiple double-sided semi gloss hanging signs also displayed photography and products in a colorful and fun way.
The open footprint design included custom backlit counters to allow consumers the opportunity to test Polaroid products. A custom built kiosk with arches allowed for a greater depth of experience with Polaroid products. Additionally, we added custom backlit shelving adjacent to an LED video wall. And finally, Polaroid offered consumers the ability to paint one of their staff at this custom exhibit. Altogether, these features gave this custom exhibit a colorful and bright space for consumers to enjoy Polaroid's products.
"Our team was very proud to bring Polaroid's vision to life on the trade show floor. Working with Michelle on the details was a joy. As the creative process progressed, we became more excited about the concept of blending nostalgia with modernity. We thought it turned out fantastic and look forward to working with the team again," said Kyle Moeller, Absolute Exhibits Account Executive.
The Polaroid Instant Print Category custom exhibit at CES was a massive success. Because the booth was so interactive and colorful, Polaroid delighted thousands of attendees and drew significant press.
"I actually look forward to working with the Absolute Team. They are an 'On Demand' Company" said Senior Director, Trade Shows and Events, Michelle Winfrey.

The Food Timeline: history notes-candy. Cocoa Bean Baby Trademark, 1898-1969. Label, Club Cocoa, 1915-1920 Advertisement, Hershey Chocolate Company, 1898 Shortly after Milton Hershey started his chocolate company he began searching for a trademark design that would reflect the promise of his new business.
The first logo that he used was an intertwined 'H', 'C', and 'Co.' Unfortunately, this monogram wasn't very distinctive and it was soon replaced by a design that would represent the Hershey Chocolate for 78 years. The Cocoa Bean Baby company trademark was introduced on August 1, 1898. The use of the company trademark was not limited to product packaging. The design was modified over the years. When a new Hershey Chocolate corporate headquarters was constructed in 1935, the Cocoa Bean Baby design was incorporated into design elements such as the door handle plates.
In 1968, the Cocoa Bean Baby was retired as the company's official trademark when the company reorganized as Hershey Foods Corporation. Boiled Sweets. Fill a jar with a selection of different sweets, add a free personalised label, and send as a gift.

No transformation required
So here's my question: "What's up with that?" In all his years in church and in "the Word", Ray never became a different kind of person. He never changed. He never became more loving, gentle, peaceful, or patient. Indeed, he only seemed to become more angry and rigid as time went on. He became harder to be around. What's more, no one seemed to be bothered by that, as though something were out of the ordinary. No one wondered if maybe Ray had somehow missed the point.Good question. This is a topic, by the way, I recently addressed at Milton's Daily Dose. The evidence of our discipleship is that we are changing more and more into the image of Jesus Christ in actions and attitudes. When the leaders of a congregation show no signs of spiritual transformation, that church is in serious trouble.

Getting slim and toned arms isn't as simple as doing arm exercises. Spot reducing doesn't work. You can perform moves to tone those muscles, but if there's a layer of fat covering them, all your hard work goes unnoticed. Combining strength training with fat-shedding cardiovascular activities is your fast track to an awe-worthy upper body.
Build Muscles by Lifting Weights
Free weights, machines, dumbbells -- any type you choose will help build and sculpt your arm muscles. Some of the types of moves you'll want to perform are biceps curls, dumbbell bench presses, lateral pull downs and shoulder presses. These moves all have both toning and slimming effects. Perform strength-training exercises two or three times a week on alternating days to allow your muscles time to heal.
Tone Arms During Cardio
Cardiovascular workouts are immensely important for heart health and for shredding unwanted pounds. You should engage in 20 to 30 minutes of intense cardio three to five times a week. You can tone your arms while you get your heart pumping by getting them involved. Give the rowing machine a try; it offers cardiovascular benefits and tones your arms, legs and your core muscles. If rowing isn't for you, pump your arms as you run or blast through elliptical workouts; for best results strap on weighted armbands and keep them moving.
Get Yoga Arms
Along the same vein of using your body's own weight for toning, certain yoga poses engage every part of your arms, giving you a sculpted upper body without lifting a weight. Planks, side planks, and Downward and Upward Dog are all poses that will help you achieve slimmer arms and an improvement in upper-body strength. You hold each pose for the duration of five breaths, then repeat the entire set five times. Do this three to five times a week.
Burning and Consuming
Building your arm muscles isn't always enough to achieve a slim and toned look. If you have additional weight to lose, your arm muscles won't be visible. Combining exercise with a healthy diet is the most effective way to achieve fat loss. Dropping a pound or two a week is considered a healthy rate of loss. The process is really about eating healthy and burning off more calories than you consume. A pound of fat consists of 3,500 calories. So you would be using your diet and exercise routine to create a deficit of at least 500 calories a day to achieve a loss of one pound per week.

So, my party on Saturday was a wonderful success. Here's a little background… Amy is a woman i know through a great friend of mine and her husband also happens to be my dentist. I have great teeth. So there we are at a party in her home and she begins to tell us of a little soiree she is holding in which there will be manicurists, pedicurists, masseuses, etc. and she's having it catered. Robert chimes in and says "Well, Tara is starting a catering business that's just desserts (hence the name) so why doesn't she do your sweet table for you?" I was in shock when she said yes and asked what i did exactly. I mean, I didn't really know. At that point, it was just brainstorming. And yes, I would share it with Robert as he would be over at my house at least 3 nights a week, but i didin't think anyone else would take me seriously.
I would wait for Olivia to go to bed and i would sit in front of my computer thinking of things i could do with my life. I was getting restless and sorry to say, bored. I wrote down all the things i was good at that could be moneymakers for me- writing, baking, or doing makeup on dead people. That was it. Out of those, i picked baking as the one the one thing i could probably be comfortable with at this point. So I was just jotting things down in a binder and trying to figure out what it would take to run a baking business out of my house. When Amy said she wanted me to do her spa party, i was so nervous. Naturally, all the questions rattled around in my brain.
What if no one likes my stuff? It's one thing that my fatso husband will like whatever i make but the public? And would they be willing to pay for something they can buy so much cheaper? I went home and got started on everything i would need. I had over a month to prepare but it still didn't seem like enough time. I wanted to put all my recipes on my computer (all the good ones anyway-some are NOT winners) and then there were the supplies…oh god, the supplies…the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and all those little extras like mascarpone cheese for the frosting on my red velvet cupcakes, the torch for the sugar on my creme brulee, it was all so overwhelming.
It took a while but then I knew what i wanted to do. The vision i have for my business is this- you call me and tell me what you want, i show up with the goodies, display stands, table cloth, table, name cards, etc. and all you do is pay me. I come back that night or the next day to get my stuff and voila! Your dessert table is taken care of. Here's the catch- I'm only doing individual desserts. Not cookies, cakes, bars or other crap i don't care about. Fudge brownies, creme brulee, cheesecakes, and OF COURSE cupcakes, among other things. Can you picture white chocolate cups with mousse on the inside and white chocolate curls on top? I'm going to do tiramisu in three different flavors and god help me, individual fruit pies. I'm drooling thinking about it. I can't wait to get more people lined up for my stuff.
I'm so excited now. And i have another party lined up for tomorrow at 4. I'm baking stuff for a wake. I wonder who died.

I have officially been corrected by the best.
This has me thinking: Instead of "I have officially been corrected by the best," would "I officially have been corrected by the best" be better?
Is the first version a split infinitive? I remember the intro to "Star Trek" has been criticized for splitting an infinitive. It shouldn't be "to boldly go" because "to go" is an infinitive. It is considered rude to split them up.
Now that I think about it, I don't even know if that's an infinitive to begin with, so it may not even be a grammatical faux pas to split it.
I have always been a little fuzzy of the whole infinitive thing. I mean "a little fuzzy" in the sense that a Persian cat that had been washed, dried and rubbed with a balloon and touched to a Tesla coil on a dry winter day would be "a little fuzzy."
But I digress.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about food at convenient stores. It turns out the correct phrase is "convenience store."
I did not know that, however, it makes sense. They are stores that specialize in convenience. A "convenient store" could be any kind of store that happens to be convenient. Walmart could be a convenient store if you happen to live nearby and enjoy walking a lot, however, it is certainly not a convenience store.
I stand corrected. I like learning when I'm wrong about something. As it says in Proverbs, "He who hates correction is stupid."
Yes, I'm not making that up.
The guy who corrected me is a former co-worker who was well-respected in his field. He sent me an email with the correction, and I was delighted to hear from him. I remember he challenged me to write a humor column without the word "you" in it. That might be fun.
I miss working with him and enjoyed visiting him in his office. You could ask him a question — any question — and he would go off on a 45-minute monologue that meandered like the Mississippi River, but was always interesting. The man knew something about almost everything, and has stories to back it up. Journalism was his main area of interest, but he knew a lot about language and history and culture and a host of other topics.
It was amazing how much he knew. And there is nothing like hearing someone talking about something he finds interesting and is able to share his enthusiasm.
I'd go in. Greet him. Ask a question. And get comfortable.
It could be almost any question. It almost didn't matter. The question was only the seed from which his speech sprang, but like a vine working its way up a trellis, as it took on a life of its own, there was no telling where it was going to go.
It might be a grammar question.
"What do you think about the use of 'they' as a singular pronoun to use in the place of 'he or she'?"
Ready ... go!
"Well, of course, it is grammatically incorrect."
Forty-five minutes later, I had been exposed to dozens of interesting facts, insights and stories on topics that may range from grammar to Shakespeare to the Missouri (pronounced with an "uh" instead of an "ee" at the end) School of Journalism to Edwin Edwards to the invention of nylon to Jimmy Swaggart to mechanical typewriters to Swedish actress and sex symbol Anita Ekberg.
And every minute of it was quite interesting. Fortunately, his office had a comfortable chair.
As much as I enjoyed his company, it sometimes had a downside. There was no way to get a brief response out of him. Even if in a hurry, I found it impossible to cut him off. This was not only because it was so enjoyable, but I respected him so much, it seemed almost disrespectful to not let his meandering run its course.
Once upon a time, I needed to know if there was still free bus service to Nicholls State University from any of the area parishes. I could not think of anyone else who would know. But I was in a bit of a hurry and had never seen an answer of his go any less than half an hour.
But as I said, every one of those 30 minutes was interesting.
So I bit the bullet and headed over to his office prepared for a long visit. As I was walking toward his office, I saw him walking across the lobby toward the restroom. I thanked my lucky stars. He will be in a hurry to answer my question so he can go about his business.
I asked my question.
His response included some really unusual facts about a particular local politician from the 1970s and maybe something about World War II U.S. Army Gen. Omar Bradley and changes in the cafeteria and, of course, bus services.
I used to remember the exact time his answer lasted. I think it was 42 minutes, but it may have been 37 minutes. And when he was finished, instead of going to the restroom, he went back toward his office.
Had he tricked me?
I can't complain. I got the information I needed — and a lot more.
I must confess, after his email, it makes me a little nervous knowing he is reading and scrutinizing my stuff. It makes me want to be more careful with my writing.
I'm still not sure if, "I have officially been corrected by the best," is grammatically correct. However, I am sure it is in passive voice. And that's usually a no-no. Or "The best has now corrected me officially" maybe?
I give up. I am probably overthinking this.
Or would, "I probably am overthinking this," be better. I don't know. Heck, I'm not even sure about the punctuation.

New Hope for Prostate Cancer Patients: Focal Therapy
One of the most important and promising new developments in the search for an ideal treatment for prostate cancer patients is focal therapy. Taksim Acıbadem Hospital Urology and Urooncology Specialist Prof. Dr. Can Öbek pointed that with this therapy while only the diseased region of the prostate is being treated healthy parts of the body can be protected.
"With this therapy, while the only diseased area of the prostate is treated, the healthy areas of the organ can be protected.

We decided to be really creative and dress Maxton up as a pumkin. Alright, not so creative, but very adorable. He wasn't too impressed, but he lasted long enough for us to snap a few photos.
We also managed to find time to carve two spooky pumpkins. Here are a few pictures from our first Halloween with the three of us. In case you're wondering what Steve is dressed up as in the pictures – he's a dalmation. He, and his whole team at work had to dress up as Dalmations – very cute.

Onyango Purnama Darmadji Thiobarbituric acid reactive subsrances,TBARS,has been well determined as an index of lipid oxidation in food.Addition of nitrite as a color developnent agent to cured meat results in a low TBRS value.Therfore,we examined whether nitrite suppresses lipid oxidation or if it interferes with color development during determination of TBRS.The relationship between nitrite concentration and TBARS value was compared under both extraction and distillaton methods.TBARS values,whether determined by either extraction or distillation method,were depressed with concentrations of nitrite above 80 ppm.When adding either Orange I reagent,OI,as a coupling reagent with nitrite or suofamic acid,SA,which decomposes nitrite,the decline in the TBARS value was restrained.Nitrite interference could be eliminated completely in the extraction method,which used SA,and this procedure was the most effective.However,these reagents were not effective under strongly acidic conditions.This observation suggests that TBARS reacts with nitrite resulting in a subsrance which does not develop any color with TBA.The extraction method is here recommended because of the high recovery of TBARS value and rapid operation compared with the distillation method. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported. lipid oxidation TBARS in cured meat interference of nitrite extraction distillation

Is the Interest on Your Car Title Loan Tax Deductible?
March 11, 2019 | By Mason Roberts
There's no shortage of tears during tax season, especially if you end up on the wrong side of what's owed. But don't let the fear of the unknown keep you from looking further than the proverbial nose of your paperwork.
It's important to know what you're working with, especially when it comes to tax deductibles, so you might be wondering—is the interest on my car title loan tax deductible? Well, I've got good and bad news for you.
The Bad News on Your Car Title Loan
Much like the interest on your mortgage, you might be wondering if the interest on your title loan is tax deductible. It's a good question because those sums can wind up being quite the deficit, and what better way to gain from your loss than to deduct it from your potential taxes this year?
Unfortunately, if it's a personal car title loan, the answer is no. The IRS does not allow interest paid on standard auto loans to be claimed as tax-deductible, nor any involved in title loans so long as it is a vehicle for personal use; however, did you notice a key phrase here? Vehicles for personal use cannot be claimed, which brings us to the good news.
The Good News on Your Title Loan
Alright, so it's a bit of a bummer that you can't take more advantage over your loan interest this tax season. Well, so long as it's a personal car loan that we're talking about. Cars for business? Well, that's a whole other animal to wrangle. Car title loans on business vehicles are tax deductible. Even cars that are used simultaneously for both personal and business use are included!
So, if you are a business owner and somewhere down the line you have taken out a title loan on one of your work vehicles to help you cover the costs of some other business aspect, then you can file the interest as well as the cost of purchasing the vehicle itself on your business taxes.
Another fun fact? Any interest you pay on a business loan is tax deductible. This is not merely constrained to title or installment loans either—credit cards are included as well. If you do not already have someone to help you through the process of filing your business taxes and you are not an expert yourself, it might not be a bad idea to speak with a professional so as to not miss out on anything that can help you in the short and long term.
It's important to note that if you are an employee for a business whose car you use, or in a situation where you must use your own car, it cannot be applied towards a write-off. You must be a business owner to utilize your loans and their interest in tax deductions.
Considering a Car Title Loan
Since you can receive a tax break on your business vehicle, a title loan could be a resourceful medium if you need some extra cash for another aspect of your small business. Approval is easy, and if you are just starting your business out and don't have the credit to take out the money you need traditionally, a title loan on your business car could not only assist you with finances, but it will also allow you to continue to drive the car as you pay off the loan.
Getting your title loan tax break isn't just a snap your fingers job, though. You will need the correct paperwork in order to file for the deduction, and you will need to file it correctly. Any receipts or paperwork for the title loan, as well as for the car itself, will be required to complete the write-off. As stated above, it might be best to seek assistance from a professional as taxes can get rather tricky.
Other Fun Deductions
While it might be a bummer that you can't deduct your personal title loan, there are some other lesser known write-offs in the tax realm. It's time to use every weapon in your arsenal, and remember, these aren't the only ones—you can look into even more if these don't apply to you!
Did you know that if you have a guard dog or pest control cat for your business, you can claim their costs as tax deductible? You must keep a record of the dog's work hours, and if you are using a cat to keep other critters out, it must be common in your line of work. Service animal costs are similarly categorized in this way, so you can list that down as a deductible as well. You can also claim costs for fostering animals, which can be a huge help as pet food and upkeep, especially vet visits, can become trifling.
Bet you didn't know you could claim costs towards higher education, did you? Up to $2,000, in fact. Of course, the filing for scholarships and financial aid gets convoluted, but keep this in mind while filling out the boxes. Specialized uniforms, such as scrubs or other gear, can be deducted as they are a requirement for work and not suitable for general wear. If you owed on last year's taxes, you should also include that with your state tax itemized deduction for this year's taxes.
If you have decided to throw away the tobacco stick, you can potentially list any cessation programs, patches, etc. as a write-off. Who knew quitting smoking could be so beneficial? Uh, well, I suppose that's a no-brainer—cancer isn't fun, nor is yellow teeth or sallow skin. Nor is losing weight, especially if it's your first time really attempting to shave off the pounds.
If ordered by a doctor, programs and costs towards losing weight can also be written off. Even pregnancy tests can be listed! There's a lot more you can look into, you just have to put a little bit of elbow grease into your google research.
