Last time, the older folks have this tale that as the monks do a lot of good deeds, their cremated remains have a lot of she li zhi (basically those crystals you mention). I think all these monks suffered from some form of kidney and/or bladder stones, prob due to their diet. 🤣

The last abbot had 7 crystals when they cremated him, if you remember. when i read that, it reminded me of "The Adventures of Tintin, the 7 crystal balls".

Can drinking a cup of bubble milk tea a day lead to gout?

Quote

It’s possible. If you’re going to indulge in the beverage, at least drink two glasses of water afterwards. A dietitian explains why.

Getting younger.. Worrying signs.

Means people getting richer and so young people eat better.

But its not really better because its full of meat.

Being poor and eating more veg and less meat is so much better.

Excessive sugar intake leads to chronic inflammation, leading to to a host of other illnesses including heart diseases, insulin resistance etc. Gout is like the least of problems. 

The next generation those 20 years old to late 30s are in the high risk group because they feel that youth is invincibility. 

Then they go for health check up and the results scare the shit out of them.

A&E doc said is gout flare so give me 7 days mc.. and saw a orthopedic a week or 2 later.. still said gout.. he said low uric acid doesn't mean no attack.. but all these while from the flare no test blood..
