Looking at unvaccinated women, you still have an increased death rate, and increased neonatal mortality.

Generally speaking black people's hair has different care needs so they use different products, but there should still be natural/gentler alternatives with less chemicals available.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Researchers has found a link in sleep problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. A study found sleep disturbances were prevalent among those with lifetime suicidal ideation or a lifetime suicide attempt. by Wagamaga
Unfortunately in the case of diagnosing sleep apnea, which is probably the most common reason for a sleep study, it doesn't really matter if the patient only gets a couple hours of crappy sleep as long as they can record the breathing disturbances.

Science will tell you nothing disappears, it just breaks down the plastic to smaller bits, that get into fish, that get into humans and it all goes round and round.
