Researchers found that a plant-based diet may lessen the severity of Covid-19 infection by 73%. The same study, published in the online journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health, suggests that a plant-based diet with fish included could lower the severity by 59%. They define plant-based diets as “dietary patterns that are high in plant foods and low in animal products”. The researchers, led by Dr Sara B Seidelmann of Stamford Hospital, Greenwich, US, wanted to find out if and how diet affects the disease. They drew on a survey of 2,884 frontline doctors and nurses with extensive exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19 infection, working in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and the US. It was based on a 47-item food frequency (over the past year) questionnaire and the severity of any Covid-19 infections they had had. Men outnumbered women in the study.Using 568 Covid-19 cases and 2,316 controls, they found that 138 of the 568 cases had moderate-to-severe Covid-19 severity while 430 had very mild to mild severity. - More -   ‘Rare’ royal involvement highlights Covid-19 failure, says analyst Posted by: superadmin - 06-10-2021, 09:43 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah’s summoning of political party leaders and the convening of a special rulers’ meeting highlight a “tale of wisdom and weakness” in the country today, says a political analyst. For Jeniri Amir, the monarchy is displaying “wisdom” in taking an inclusive approach to addressing concerns over the handling of the Covid-19 situation. “The fact that the King has summoned political party leaders, including members of the opposition, highlights His Majesty’s deep concern for the situation,” he said. Jeniri said it was “rare” for the monarchy to get directly involved in matters of the state, though it was not the first time under the present administration. - More -   China’s producer prices surge the most since 2008, cutting into business profits Posted by: superadmin - 06-09-2021, 07:24 PM - Forum: Business, Economy and Investment - No Replies China’s producer price index, a measure of production costs, rose 9% in May from a year ago, the fastest since September 2008, data released Wednesday showed. More pessimistic businesses expect the price increases will last until the end of the year, said Gan Jie, a professor of finance at the Beijing-based Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business. In the last several weeks, the central Chinese government has announced additional support for small businesses, particularly those affected by rising raw material prices. BEIJING — China’s producer price index rose 9% in May from a year ago as commodity prices surged, the National Bureau of Statistics said Wednesday. That marked the fastest increase in production costs since September 2008, when the index rose 9.13%, according to Wind Information. While the gains surpassed expectations of an 8.5% increase, according to a Reuters poll, the rise does come off a low base. The index fell 3.7% in May 2020 during the initial months of the coronavirus pandemic. - More -   We’ve reported govt’s ‘failure’, up to the King now, says Guan Eng Posted by: superadmin - 06-09-2021, 06:21 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies KUALA LUMPUR: The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, is well informed about claims that the government is not handling the Covid-19 pandemic well, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said after his audience with the King. “I gave my opinion, not just representing the party but that of the rakyat,” he said when asked whether he had raised concerns about the government’s mismanagement of the Covid-19 pandemic. “Tuanku understands and we leave it to his wisdom.” The former finance minister, who spent around 80 minutes at Istana Negara today, said his discussions with the King focused mostly on the economy, Covid-19 and the need for aid for sections of the rakyat. - More -   Country needs a stable govt to move forward, say analysts Posted by: superadmin - 06-09-2021, 01:06 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Pundits are hoping the meetings between the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and political party leaders that start today will result in a stable government ruling the country as the nation battles with the surge in Covid-19 cases and economic despair. Socio-political analyst Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the day started with Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin meeting the King, which is the norm before the weekly Cabinet meeting every Wednesday.
