Things Worth Noting
Red meat like beef, lamb, and pork contains heme iron, which gives it its red color and raises colorectal cancer risk when consumed in large amounts. Excess heme promotes harmful N-nitroso compounds and lipid peroxidation in the gut, causing oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage that can lead to mutations in genes like APC, TP53, […]
Colorectal cancer affects the colon or rectum and often starts as benign polyps that can become cancerous. Common symptoms include changes in bowel habits like persistent diarrhea or constipation, narrow stools, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, abdominal pain, cramping, bloating, blood in the stool (bright red or dark), unexplained weight loss, fatigue from anemia, and […]
On December 25, 2025, US forces launched coordinated airstrikes on ISIS-linked militant camps in northwest Nigeria’s Sokoto State, killing several jihadists. President Trump described the precision strikes as targeting terrorists slaughtering Christians and protecting religious freedom. Nigeria’s government confirmed the joint operation based on intelligence sharing, stressing it safeguarded all citizens regardless of religion and […]
As humanity establishes isolated colonies in space, human evolution could diverge dramatically over 100,000 years. Natural selection in low gravity might favor taller, slimmer bodies with less muscle and bone density, while cosmic radiation could drive adaptations like enhanced DNA repair, darker skin, or better resistance to mutations and cellular aging. Microgravity causes rapid bone […]
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have developed a promising new cancer therapy using CRISPR activation to turn ordinary white fat cells—taken from liposuction—into energy-burning beige fat cells. These engineered cells are highly efficient at consuming glucose and fatty acids, directly competing with nearby or distant tumors for vital nutrients and effectively starving […]
Minnesota’s social services system has suffered massive industrial-scale fraud, with federal prosecutors estimating over $9 billion stolen since 2018—more than half the $18 billion spent on 14 high-risk Medicaid programs. Schemes centered on fake billing for childcare, autism therapy, housing assistance, and child nutrition, primarily involving defendants from the Somali community. The biggest case, Feeding […]
The idea that aliens gave humans advanced technology fascinates many, blending ancient astronaut theories with modern UFO claims. Proponents suggest extraterrestrials helped build ancient wonders like pyramids through antigravity or genetic engineering, inspired by myths like the Annunaki. Figures like whistleblowers claim governments reverse-engineer crashed UFOs, while objects like ‘Oumuamua spark debate as possible alien […]
Lead exposure at firing ranges is a serious hidden risk from ammunition smoke and gun smoke, especially indoors. Traditional primers contain lead styphnate and lead peroxide, releasing fine lead particulates along with antimony, barium, and manganese when guns are fired. These toxins are inhaled, entering the bloodstream quickly and causing neurotoxicity, neurotransmitter disruption, cognitive impairment, […]
Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from devices like cell phones, Wi-Fi, and power lines includes non-ionizing radiofrequency (RF) energy and ionizing types like X-rays. While high exposure can cause heating or DNA damage, long-term low-level health risks remain debated, with some studies noting possible oxidative stress or links to childhood leukemia. To protect yourself, follow three principles: […]
Albert Camus, a 20th-century philosopher and Nobel Prize winner, developed absurdism to address the human condition in a meaningless world. The absurd arises from our search for meaning clashing with the universe’s indifference, leading him to view suicide as philosophy’s fundamental question. In The Myth of Sisyphus, he portrays Sisyphus as the absurd hero who […]
