A Columbia/Rutgers study found 240,000 plastic particles per liter of bottled water—90% being nanoplastics (smaller than one micrometer), which can infiltrate cells and organs. Most particles come from bottles themselves and reverse osmosis filters, shedding plastics like PET and polyamide when opened or squeezed. Nanoplastics…
Story at-a-glance A thick neck is more than a cosmetic issue — it’s one of the clearest physical signs of metabolic stress, indicating higher risks for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke Research shows neck circumference predicts disease risk more accurately than BMI or waist size…
Sorbitol is metabolized into fructose in the liver, directly linking its consumption to the harmful metabolic pathways that cause fatty liver disease and metabolic dysfunction, similar to regular sugar. The negative health impact of sorbitol depends heavily on an individual’s gut microbiome. Specific beneficial bacteria…
Alosha Lynov’s buried-home concept is a hybrid design inspired by Earthship principles and geodesic domes, designed to be partially buried in soil for natural insulation and energy efficiency. The home is modular, allowing for progressive construction as needs and finances permit. During the design session,…
