Do Not Speak Negatively About Yourself

Do Not Speak Negatively About Yourself

Bruce was WAY ahead of his time on this one. It was not until decades later that they developed measuring equipment sensitive enough to discover that an elite athletes thoughts affected their performance for several hours.

Testosterone Drop

Testosterone Drop

Not quite. According to  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/05/09/fact-check-testosterone-levels-lower-25-1999-2016/7381735001/

The article refers to data from studies in 2007 and 2021, both of which looked at the testosterone levels of men in the United States.

Fact check: Experts say diet, exercise – not hormones – are primary drivers of weight gain

Both studies observed significant reductions in testosterone levels over time. In the 2007 study, testosterone decreased by about 22% when comparing 1985-1987 levels to those from 2002-2004. In the 2021 study, researchers found a roughly 25% decrease between 1999 and 2016.

These numbers mean that the claim in the Twitter post isn’t true, according to Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, a urologist at the Miami University Miller School of Medicine and author of the 2021 study.

“Neither of these studies assessed men over the last two decades, and the percent change was not close to 50%, so it is inaccurate to say that average testosterone has fallen almost 50% over the last 2 decades,” Ramasamy wrote in an email.

Canadian scientists develop novel filtration method that permanently removes ‘forever’ chemicals from drinking water

Water Splash Wave

Scientists from The University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada have developed a new water filtration technology that is capable of permanently removing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, from drinking water.

Also known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS are believed to contaminate the drinking water consumed by more than 200 million Americans, which is most of the country. Worse, a 2020 study claimed that potentially risky levels of PFAS are present in all water supplies throughout the country.

Because PFAS are difficult to filter out of water, most Americans are likely drinking some level of them every single day without even knowing it. Prolonged consumption of these forever chemicals is linked to all sorts of serious health conditions, including cancer.

Called ‘forever chemicals’ because they take hundreds of years or more to break down, PFAs are present in many consumer products, including sunscreens, food packaging, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies, and can eventually end up leaching into the environment,” reported Nice News.

“PFAs have been linked to increased risks of cancer, decreased fertility, and a ‘reduced ability of the body’s immune system to fight infections,’ among other adverse health effects, per the Environmental Protection Agency.”

Unique absorbing material that traps PFAS can be regenerated and reused, generating very little waste

For their research into a PFAS solution, at least for drinking water, UBC scientists, led by biological engineering professor Madjid Mohseni, utilized a “unique absorbing material” that is capable of trapping and holding all known PFAS that are present in the water supply.

After PFAS are captured from water using this unique absorbing material, they are then destroyed using “special electrochemical and photochemical techniques,” UBC announced in a news release.

Some existing filtration technologies such as activated carbon and ion exchange systems are capable of removing some PFAS, but not all. Mohseni and his team’s development is the first known technique capable of removing all of them from drinking water.

Support The Right Thing

Social personalities support constructive activities.

Anti-social people support destructive activities.

Carbon in the air is constructive, it helps plants grow. The more carbon, the better they grow. As the atmospheric carbon increases so the planet becomes greener and less desertified.

Plastic in the environment is destructive. Plants absorb it and pass it on to us, fish eat it and it kills them.

Be a social person. Support carbon and support the removal of plastic from the environment.
