Karan Johar gets trolled for criticising comedian Kettan Singh; netizens write, 'Don't know what was so offensive...'Filmmaker Karan Johar said the producers in the film industry are more concerned about the outrageous prices of movie stars than they are about the growing expense of entourages as that still can be controlled.

Can having 2 garlic cloves daily reduce both blood sugar and cholesterol? A new study has some answers
Chew on a couple of cloves of garlic every morning and wash them down with warm water to keep your blood sugar levels and cholesterol in check. The blood glucose levels plummeted significantly by week 12. The science behind garlic’s potential to improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels lies in its active compounds, particularly organosulfur compounds. These inhibit cholesterol synthesis and lower plasma concentrations of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in both animal and human studies. Another option is to use garlic supplements, such as aged garlic extract, which have been shown to be effective in lowering cholesterol levels.
