Things Worth Noting
Fast food and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) disrupt hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin, making you feel hungrier and less satisfied, leading to overeating and weight gain. These hyperpalatable foods, high in additives and energy density, reduce satiety hormones PYY and GLP-1, while causing leptin resistance and elevated ghrelin. This hormonal imbalance, combined with a soft […]
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like PCBs, DDT, and PFAS accumulate in the fat of overweight and obese individuals, increasing risks of hormone disruption, immune issues, and chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver disease. These lipophilic toxins, found in contaminated foods like farmed salmon and industrial byproducts, build up in adipose tissue, […]
Parasitic diseases, caused by protozoa, helminths, and ectoparasites, affect billions, especially in tropical areas. Transmission occurs via vectors like mosquitoes, snails, sandflies, or through contaminated water, soil, or food. Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, anemia, itching, and fatigue. Diagnosis uses stool samples, blood smears, or imaging. Treatments include antiparasitic drugs like ivermectin and praziquantel, with herbal […]
Underground cities, from ancient hideouts to modern hubs, showcase human ingenuity. In Turkey’s Cappadocia, Derinkuyu’s multi-level tunnels housed thousands, with ventilation shafts and stone doors for defense. Ancient sites like Malta’s Hypogeum and Petra’s tombs used rock-cut architecture and water systems like qanats for survival. Today, Coober Pedy’s cave homes beat desert heat, while Montreal’s […]
In 2025, a few major corporations, backed by billionaires, control legacy media—networks, newspapers, and digital platforms—shaping news and entertainment. Deregulation since the 1990s triggered mergers, shrinking 50 companies in 1983 to six giants by 2011, creating an oligopoly. These conglomerates, alongside tech giants, dominate content, prioritizing profits over diverse voices. This consolidation cuts local news, […]
Mold, a fungus thriving in damp areas, releases spores and mVOCs that trigger immune responses when inhaled. The immune system detects mold via receptors like Dectin-1, prompting neutrophils and mast cells to release histamine, cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-alpha), and leukotrienes, causing inflammation. This leads to allergies, asthma, sneezing, itchy eyes, and sinus issues. Mycotoxins like gliotoxin […]
Low and slow cooking methods like simmering, slow roasting, braising, and stewing use gentle heat (185–200°F) to preserve nutrients in vegetables and lean meats. Unlike high-heat cooking, which can destroy vitamins and minerals, these techniques retain water-soluble vitamins (like C and B) and minerals (like iron and magnesium) by minimizing oxidation and leaching. Slow cookers […]
Fast food and non-organic produce often lack nutrients due to heavy processing and soil depletion. Fast food, high in calories but low in vitamins, fiber, and minerals like Vitamin C, iron, and zinc, relies on ultra-processed ingredients with saturated fat, sodium, and sugar, spiking blood pressure and inflammation while promoting obesity. Non-organic foods, grown with […]
The Antichrist, empowered by Satan (the Dragon), leads the Beast System in Revelation’s end-times prophecy. The Sea Beast, symbolizing political power, and the Earth Beast, a False Prophet, form an unholy trinity, deceiving people with miracles to enforce worship. The Mark of the Beast, linked to 666, controls global economics, requiring allegiance on the hand […]
Nutrient-dense foods deliver maximum vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber, and healthy fats with minimal calories, boosting immunity, energy, and heart health while preventing chronic conditions. Unlike ultra-processed foods, these superfoods provide bioavailable nutrients for optimal absorption. Dark leafy greens like kale and spinach top the list, rich in vitamins A, C, K, and iron. Organ meats […]
