People who 'age' better don't share much in common at all about lifestyles like diet. Surveys are too unreliable and too many centenarians were only such because of inaccurate records or even fraud for valid epidemiology.But what they do share in common is superior energy production in cells. Their mitochondria, the energy factories that take all our food (ultra-processed and organic certified...
read moreThe pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu) that caused chicken and egg prices to skyrocket after millions of birds died was helped by the raw milk vector. Pasteurization, which has saved a billion lives, kills the virus. The same people who buy organic food and don't want chickens that have ever taken medicine also think pasteurization ruins some ethereal property of milk that no scientists can...
read moreMessenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a molecule that provides blueprints for cells to make a protein that may be needed by the body. Though around for nearly 60 years before COVID-19 erupted from Wuhan, China, it didn't get a lot of attention from government-funding agencies, where the grant system most often means experiments likely to work rather than anything revolutionary,(1) That all changed...
read moreMicroplastics are a kernel of biological concern that gets magnified by hype, like endocrine "disrupting" chemicals or weedkillers detectable in breast milk. In modern times, we can detect anything in anything, so the 'zero' levels of the 1960s no longer exist, because testing is 1,000,000 times more sensitive than it was in the past.read...
read moreThanks to the fall armyworm, nearly all of Africa's maize crop is in jeopardy, finds a new study. The new projection was made using 3,175 geo-tagged occurrences and factoring in physiological and climatological requirements to geographically assess its range. They showed that almost 92 percent of Africa’s maize growing areas can mean year-round growth of fall armyworm while 95 percent are...
read moreA new process uses harmless viruses that eat bacteria to form microscopic beads that can safely be applied to food and other materials to rid them of harmful pathogens such as E. coli. Though tiny, each bead is about one third the width of human hair, they have millions of bacteriophages. read...
