Yes, better to err on the side of natural until proven otherwise.

I remember being surprised when I found out that, according to economists, Russia is the richest country when it comes to natural resources (perhaps, partly, cos it's the world's largest country). And

There are pet owners who get a generic antiparasitic pill once a year for safety; dunno if it helps against giardia though.

With me, what usually gets me rabbit hole-ing is when something sounds quite absurd or counter-intuitive. Like 'there are larger and smaller infinities' or 'the circle has been squared in taxicab geometry'

50-100 gallons of water compared to 500 gallons for the same amount in rice I'm not aware of the arguments against, but the cows aren't the only thing that needs water: its their food too. Most crops that

Dunno if you've seen Cowspiracy, but it argues that just going vegan or thereabouts will solve all climate issues, without the need to do anything else. all the way up to the leaders of governments using

Alessio Fasano of Harvard, who discovered the zonulin molecule, says that without ingestion of gluten, no one would ever get an autoimmune disease.

I thought from the title it was gonna be an actual nutrient-rich cocktail recipe 😅

Doctors now are recommending taking vitamin D anyhow, and this was true before the pandemic. I live in Cyprus, where it's very sunny most of the year, and my chemist tells me that half the people who test

We have been playing Gods since age immemorial, I don't see why aging should be an exception! I actually think it's inevitable. We can't go on learning stuff, then dying, then having to re-teach same stuff

Good initiative. In Cyprus we have a lot of Mediterranean fever genes, so it's good to know when you're a carrier so you won't marry someone who's also a carrier and have kids who will suffer.

I still remember when I found out that the foreskin left over from circumcisions performed in the US is used to make perfumes. Humans are creative when it comes to not letting tissue go to waste!

If you try to copy multiple items one after the other before pasting them, that would make you loose previously copied files. I remember this used to happen even after pasting! Thankfully computers/windows

The things you say in the first paragraph sound kinda spiritual, but some of today's rich are kinda back to thinking that way, injecting themselves with young people's blood to prevent aging!

Right now 'Earth Secrets: How to Prevent Earthquakes' would be a useful addendum :D What with all these earthquakes happening in Turkey and felt even where I live, in Cyprus, and causing widespread fear.

I knew that diabetics are prone to amputations, but I did not know about the foot ulcer angle.

Interesting. My first 'intuition' was that, since there's 2 doors remaining, they each have a 50% chance of having the car behind them, so it doesn't matter which one I pick. But then I started thinking,

An interesting story I remember about the Plague was that the Mongols were using it as biological warfare: when they besieged the city of Kaffa, they catapulted the dead bodies of Plague victims over the

And sportspeople think math won't help them! :P

I guess much depends on the type of carb, and whether or not it's processed. Gluten-containing carbs seem to be especially dangerous, with Alessio Fasano from Harvard, who discovered the zonulin molecule,
