The comments section under this post on Facebook had several points of interest:
Why so little garlic?
Add some black garlic.
More onion.
Add some Cayenne pepper.
Replace the half and half with A2 heavy cream.
Turkey broth instead of veg broth.
Replace kale with another green veg.
Add some corn.

Seems like there could be an infinite number of variations to this recipe.

Garlic: Roto-Rooter For The Arteries?

Heads Of Garlic

We’ve looked at a wide range of natural alternatives to drugs for heart disease in previous posts, with pomegranateturmeric, 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.

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

Older Woman Fallen

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

Plastic bottle recycling

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.
