Pizza Making Robots to the South Bay
Stellar Pizza CEO, Benson Tsai, standing outside his truck. Benson believes automation is the way to keep food costs low for everyone. This idea is what fueled the concept of launching a robotics-powered fleet of food trucks that will bring hot-out-of-the-oven pies to the
masses for about $10 or less in 4.5 minutes. This amounts to being able to create about 80 pizzas in one hour. Stellar Pizza, which launches this spring, is in the city of Hawthorne. Photo courtesy Stellar Pizza.
Chronic Liver Disease Is On The Rise:
Here’s What You Should Know
(BPT) - An estimated 4.5 million people
in the U.S. have chronic liver disease (CLD).
More people aged 25-54 die from this disease
and cirrhosis of the liver than from diabetes or
stroke. And unfortunately, liver disease is on
the rise. Mortality from chronic liver disease
associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
(NASH) is projected to nearly triple by 2030.
Chronic liver disease and cirrhosis is a
growing problem in the United States that
may lead to increases in mortality and other
negative outcomes for patients who suffer from
it. Patients and their health care providers need
to be aware of common signs and symptoms
and test for the disease as appropriate.
While CLD may be common, the disease
itself - along with its complications - is often
not well understood by many.
Here are some facts you should know about
liver disease, and symptoms to be aware of.
What is liver disease?
While many people may identify alcoholism
as the only cause of liver disease, few
are aware that there are other causes that can
affect liver health. Chronic liver disease can
lead to liver damage, liver scarring or even
liver failure. Living with liver disease for a
long time can lead to cirrhosis, a severe form
of liver disease, in which scar tissue replaces
healthy tissue. As cirrhosis worsens, the liver
has less healthy tissue to perform its function.
Why do we need our livers?
A healthy liver is needed to help your body
process food and nutrients into energy, and to
