Too much cow milk could cause anemia / iron deficiency
By Hicbd
"Cow milk is packed with essential nutrients that may benefit your child’s health. However, cow milk is also low in iron, which infants and toddlers need because they grow quickly. Too much milk can lead to iron deficiency and further problems, including IDA...If you are not breastfeeding your infant, use an iron-fortified formula to prevent IDA. For children over one, limit cow milk consumption to less than 24 oz per day and ensure that they eat a well-rounded diet containing foods rich in iron and vitamin C."

CARE courts / easily available medication could help with mental illnesses / homelessness
By Hicbd
A person referred to CARE Court for a severe mental illness is evaluated and a CARE Court judge reviews the petition, which can be filed by a close family member, roommate, hospital director, first responder, police officer or licensed behavioral health professional. If the individual is considered likely to meet the required criteria, the judge can order a clinical evaluation. Based on those results, a judge can order a mental health treatment plan including medication, therapy and a place to live. The plan will run for one year, with a one-time option to extend the plan for a second year."

Private equity / private credit firms could become zombies
By Hicbd
"If money managers don't launch new flagship funds or find other ways to shore up their fees, they can eventually lose staffers en masse, leaving a skeleton crew behind to resolve old bets and manage bills. Funds — typically designed to last no longer than 12 years — end up going long past expiration dates, with firms sometimes sliding assets into continuation funds to keep managing them. It creates headaches for clients, who have to decide whether to press for an exit or hang on, hoping things turn around. The steep discounts to ditch problematic fund stakes prompt many investors to spend years crossing their fingers."

Standardized tests could be less about speed / more about deep thinking
By Hicbd
"For decades, educators have seen speed as a marker of aptitude or mastery, forcing students to scramble to finish tests. But a race against the clock doesn’t measure knowledge or intelligence. It assesses the much narrower skill of how well students reason under stress. As a result, timed tests underestimate the capabilities of countless students."

Startup health insurers (insurtechs) / tech might not be able to succeed easily
By Hicbd
"Are your contracted rates competitive?” he said in an interview. “In Medicare Advantage or individual or small group, are you appropriately and accurately measuring risk adjustment codes? Can you manage brokers well? How do you actually leverage the provider channel to drive enrollment? Can you stay regulatorily compliant?” And while insurtechs have put technology at the forefront of their businesses, they don’t have a good handle on operations like customer service and sales, said James Jun, director of sales and marketing at Reversus Insurance Solutions, an organization of insurance agents that sell Medicare products."
