Things Worth Noting
5G phones use high-frequency millimeter waves and RF-EMF, raising concerns about effects on brain waves and heart rate variability (HRV). Studies show 5G’s non-ionizing radiation, measured by specific absorption rate (SAR), stays within safety limits, with minimal thermal or non-thermal impacts. EEG research suggests slight changes in alpha and beta waves in some cases, but […]
A class action lawsuit in California claims Ziploc bags, made from polyethylene and polypropylene, release harmful microplastics and nanoplastics when microwaved or frozen, despite being marketed as safe. These tiny plastic fragments can leach into food, leading to ingestion and health risks like dementia, heart disease, cancer, and reproductive issues. Microplastics may cross the blood-brain […]

Graduates face underemployment in 41% of cases, earning starting salaries like $50,000 that barely cover loans, especially for […]
Pesticides like glyphosate, organophosphates, and neonicotinoids, used widely in agriculture, disrupt gut health by harming the gut microbiome, the diverse bacteria in our intestines vital for digestion, immunity, and overall health. Chronic exposure through food or the environment causes dysbiosis, reducing beneficial bacteria like Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, lowering microbial diversity, and weakening the gut barrier. […]
