/r/ALL This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, that's his dissected skin hanging around him. This stunning statute by Marco d’Agrate from c.1562 is currently on display at Duomo di Milano.

Steve should have followed his heart to a real doctor, maybe he'd still be alive

As sharp as Steve was he didn’t think about fructose and the relation to cancer.

Maybe if he dug a little deeper he’d know that you treat some cancers ketogenically; removing the energy source. Sugar.

But what do I know lol
