I have not verified this but I did post some time back that researchers found soaking apples in baking soda for 10 minutes removed pesticide residue.
Map To Noah’s Ark
In 1882, the British Museum acquired the oldest known map of the world, which was carved into a clay tablet from Babylon and is known as the Imago Mundi. Dating to the seventh century B.C.E., it depicts ancient Mesopotamia, including cities like Babylon and the Euphrates River. However, much of the cuneiform inscribed on the 3,000-year-old tablet remained a mystery — until now.
Researchers from the museum recently translated the text and determined that it includes references to the Babylonian version of Noah’s ark, including instructions on how to get to the mountains where its remains lie — the very same mountains mentioned in the Bible as the ark’s final resting place.

Stellaris Nuclear Fusion Nuclear Reactor
Proxima Fusion, a Munich-based startup, unveiled its “Stellaris” fusion reactor design in 2025, a stellarator that could redefine clean energy. Unlike nuclear fission, which splits atoms and produces radioactive waste, Stellaris fuses atomic nuclei using high-temperature superconducting magnets to generate power without carbon emissions or long-lived waste. Stellarators differ from tokamaks—another fusion approach—by relying solely on external magnets, not plasma currents, for stability. This allows continuous operation, avoiding the disruptions that plague tokamaks, and potentially making fusion more practical. Open-sourced in Fusion Engineering and Design, Stellaris builds on Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X research, aiming for a demo reactor, Alpha, by 2031, and grid power in the 2030s. While it positions Germany as a fusion frontrunner, outpacing competitors like China and Russia hinges on funding, engineering breakthroughs, and global collaboration.
Garlic: Roto-Rooter For The Arteries?
We’ve looked at a wide range of natural alternatives to drugs for heart disease in previous posts, with pomegranate, turmeric, and sesame seed demonstrating extraordinary cardioprotective properties, to name but a few. Garlic, however, may be the most compelling of them all from the standpoint of clinical research, given that numerous recent studies now show this amazing herb can prevent and even reverse the accumulation of calcified plaque in the arteries. This is, of course, the goal of root-cause resolution medicine: to address and ameliorate the underlying pathologies, instead of simply suppressing symptoms or surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease risk such as LDL cholesterol. Take a look at one of our previous reports on the topic of garlic’s artery de-calcifying properties here.

“This Is Existential”: Billionaire Cancer Researcher Says Covid & Vaccine Likely Causing Surge In Aggressive Cancers
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong – a transplant surgeon-turned-biotech billionaire renowned for inventing the cancer drug Abraxane – has issued a startling warning in a new in-depth interview with Tucker Carlson.
Soon-Shiong, founder of ImmunityBio ($IBRX) and owner of the Los Angeles Times, claims that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the very vaccines developed to fight it, may be contributing to a global surge in “terrifyingly aggressive” cancers. In the nearly two-hour conversation, the Los Angeles Times owner leveraged his decades of clinical and scientific experience to outline why he suspects an unprecedented cancer epidemic is unfolding. This report examines Dr. Soon-Shiong’s background and assertions, the scientific responses for and against his claims, new data on post-COVID health trends, and the far-reaching implications if his alarming hypothesis proves true.
Weight Loss Aid
I have not tried this but the logic holds good.
Blend 1 tablespoon cumin and put in saucepan,skin ginger and grate a tablespoon and put into the same saucepan, add a litre of water and bring to boil, cook for 5 minutes, let cool then strain into a glass jar, add to the mix the juice of one lemon and stir. 30 minutes before each meal consume 50 ml of this mix.
Eating More Fruits And Vegetables May Help Prevent Falls In Older Adults, Especially Women
Can a simple diet change reduce your risk of falling? New research reveals that older adults—especially women—who eat fewer fruits and vegetables face a significantly higher chance of injurious falls.
A recent study published in the journal Aging Clinical and Experimental Research reveals that eating more fruits and vegetables could lower the risk of falls among older adults, particularly women. Researchers found that seniors who don’t consume enough produce are more likely to experience fall-related injuries, highlighting the role of nutrition in both overall health and accident prevention.
The research included data from over 34,000 people aged 50 and up across several lower-income countries. Findings revealed that women who didn’t meet the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables were nearly twice as likely to suffer fall-related injuries compared to those who followed dietary guidelines. This link was not as strong for men.
Given these findings, experts are urging more research to confirm how diet directly impacts fall risk. They also stress that improving access to nutritious foods could be a key strategy in preventing falls, especially in countries where older adults struggle to afford a healthy diet. Promoting better eating habits is seen as a crucial step in enhancing the health and safety of aging populations worldwide.
Plastic Waste Into Vanillin
Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland have pioneered an innovative process that transforms plastic waste into vanillin, the key component of vanilla flavoring, using genetically engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Their study, published in Green Chemistry, details how PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastics, commonly found in bottles and packaging, can be broken down into terephthalic acid, which is then biologically converted into vanillin through a series of engineered bacterial reactions.
This breakthrough provides a novel and sustainable approach to addressing plastic waste while also meeting the increasing global demand for vanillin, which is widely used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. With rising concerns over environmental sustainability, this method could significantly reduce reliance on petrochemical-derived vanillin and offer a circular economy solution for plastic recycling. As bioengineered vanillin makes its way into products like ice cream, chocolate, baked goods, candies, and beverages, the implications for both food science and environmental conservation are profound.

Vitamin E During Pregnancy Shown To Prevent Food Allergies In Newborns
- Vitamin E supports a healthy pregnancy — Vitamin E intake during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of food allergies in newborns by stabilizing immune responses and lowering histamine levels
- Vitamin E alters histamine production — Researchers found that α-tocopherol, a specific form of vitamin E, prevented severe allergic reactions by reducing the release of histamine, the chemical responsible for swelling, itching and anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction)
- Infants get the benefits of vitamin E immediately — Babies with genetic skin barrier weaknesses, such as those linked to eczema, are more likely to develop food allergies, but vitamin E helps reinforce immune regulation and reduce their risk
- Vitamin E doesn’t interfere with your body’s natural processes — Vitamin E supplementation during pregnancy influenced newborn immune responses without suppressing other necessary immune functions, meaning it helps prevent allergies without weakening overall immunity
- Simple dietary changes have big impact — Eating more pasture-raised eggs, grass fed beef liver, avocados, and wild-caught fish will provide the necessary levels of vitamin E to support immune balance in both mother and baby
Vitamin E, while not as popular as other vitamins, nevertheless plays an important role in human health. According to the National Library of Medicine, vitamin E helps form red blood cells, metabolizes vitamin K properly and facilitates communication between different cells.
But more importantly, vitamin E supports the immune system — especially when it comes to improving food allergy tolerances in early life. This discovery was published in a February 2025 study in The Journal of Immunology.
