Things Worth Noting
Quantum computing breakthroughs are bringing powerful real-world applications to life through entangled qubits, dramatically accelerating complex computations. In drug discovery, quantum systems now simulate molecular interactions in hours instead of years, enabling faster identification of promising compounds and more efficient pharmaceutical development. When integrated with AI, these capabilities support personalized medicine by analyzing vast biological […]
Big Pharma and Big Food fuel a health crisis through ultra-processed foods (UPF) like sodas and snacks, packed with sugar, fat, and additives. These hyper-palatable products, classified as Nova group 4, drive obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and liver issues, exploiting addictive properties.
