Things Worth Noting
Moderate alcohol consumption, defined as up to one drink daily for women and two for men, may reduce risks of heart disease, ischemic stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Light drinking boosts HDL cholesterol, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers blood pressure via antioxidants like resveratrol in red wine and polyphenols in beer, which curb inflammation and […]
Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin,” may slow biological aging by supporting cellular health, reducing inflammation, and protecting against age-related diseases. It promotes telomere maintenance, epigenetic regulation, and mitochondrial function, while combating inflammaging and cellular senescence. Found in fatty fish, fortified foods, and supplements, vitamin D is also synthesized through sunlight exposure. Deficiency, common globally, accelerates […]
Does WiFi affect sleep? WiFi emits low-level radiofrequency (RF) radiation, raising concerns about its impact on sleep quality, melatonin production, and circadian rhythms. Research, like a 2016 study in Journal of Sleep Research, shows no significant link between typical WiFi exposure and sleep disturbances, though some report issues possibly due to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Blue […]
Space: The first direct observation of gravitational waves detected two merging black holes, emitting 36 septillion yottawatts (3.6×10⁴⁹ watts), surpassing the total light radiated by all stars in the observable universe.

How bags of flour are filled pic.twitter.com/l8L7QEXwIF — Science girl (@gunsnrosesgirl3) May 22, 2025 Flour is a powder made by grinding grains, seeds, nuts, or roots. It’s primarily used in baking and cooking, with wheat flour dominating due to its gluten content, which provides structure and elasticity in dough. Here’s the ultimate breakdown: Types of […]
Surviving 100 hours without food is a challenging fast that tests physical and mental resilience. In the first 12 hours, the body uses glycogen stores for energy, then shifts to ketosis, burning fat for fuel by 12-36 hours. By 36-72 hours, autophagy may enhance cellular health, but risks like nutrient deficiency and dehydration grow. After […]
McDonald’s fries, made from Russet Burbank potatoes, are a fast food icon, but their “dark truth” involves controversial ingredients and health risks. Grown with pesticides like Monitor, potatoes are blanched with sodium acid pyrophosphate and pre-fried in vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean) containing omega-6 fatty acids, linked to inflammation. Additives like TBHQ, dimethylpolysiloxane, and natural […]
Beekeeping may boost longevity by supporting telomere length, which protects DNA and slows aging. Research shows beekeepers have longer telomeres, possibly due to a healthy lifestyle. Handling hives offers physical activity, while nature reduces stress, both preserving telomeres. Bee products like honey, propolis, and royal jelly provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, fighting oxidative stress. Beehive […]
In 1997, the EU banned U.S. chicken imports due to concerns over chlorine-based antimicrobial treatments, like chlorine dioxide, used to reduce pathogens such as Salmonella. The EU’s precautionary principle prioritizes strict hygiene standards and poultry welfare, viewing these chemical rinses as risky, potentially masking poor farm practices. The U.S. insists chlorine washes are safe and […]
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) from cell phones, Tesla electric vehicles, Wi-Fi, power lines, and household appliances are part of daily life, but excessive exposure raises health concerns. EMF includes low-frequency (ELF) fields from power lines and appliances and radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless devices. Potential risks include cancer, neurological issues, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity, though scientific consensus […]
