Global warming is not new to the history of our planet, and so, by studying previous periods of global warming, scientists hope to uncover secrets that can be used to combat global warming today. The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum, which occurred some 40 million years ago, has attracted particular scrutiny because of its unique properties.
There has been a shortage of Ozempic, a weight loss drug to help those with type 2 diabetes control their appetites, because rich people began to get it "prescribed" by physicians as a diet tool.
FDA is warning people gullible enough to buy Dr. Ergin’s SugarMD Advanced Glucose Support, supposedly because it can 'naturally' control blood glucose, that if it did anything they only had an effect because these grifters Illegally adulterated it with glyburide and metformin, prescription medications for overweight people who've contracted type 2 diabetes.
If you own it, throw it in the garbage, and then stop buying 'miracle' potions, pills, and salves that virtue signal to anti-science beliefs about medicine. If it's a supplement, it isn't medicine. That's why it's called a supplement.
Like the CDC manufacturing a prediabetes epidemic and pregnant women getting a scarlet letter if they have a glass of wine while pregnant, flossing seems to be a distinctly American phenomenon. Are we right? The British are famous for bad teeth, for example, and fiscal conservatives will say that's because dental care is not free under their socialized medicine. They must not floss, right?
Well, they don't, but it may not matter. Most people in Europe who have great teeth don't floss. They think it is humorous that we pull string through our teeth the same way European women wonder why their babies don't have more birth defects if a glass of wine causes fetal alcohol syndrome.
In response to some young people experimenting with an effective smoking cessation tool, nicotine vaping, the Obama CDC did what more social authoritarian governments frequently do - overreact in order to convince the public they solved a problem few had.
Vaping, the stupidly named e-cigarettes, were a fad and therefore some grifters did want to sell stuff to kids, no differently than grifters at Non-GMO Project sell labels for 70,000 products, at a minimum of $3,000 each, to companies who want to bilk consumers with the intelligence level of Whole Foods shoppers. Those needed to be run out of business, no question, but having the CDC declare an "epidemic", and including any young person who had even experimented with vaping in 6 months, was silly.
The biggest shopping day of the year is not Amazon Prime Day, nor is it Black Friday, it is instead on November 11th - Singles Day.
China has so many unmarried people they turned it into a shopping celebration.
In Sweet Lemons Rationalization, if you are unable to find someone worth marrying, you can declare you don't want to get married anyway. If I say I don't
want to date Heidi Klum, it is empowering and therefore not an insult that she does not date me.
That is the case with a growing number of Americans.
In 2020, storms caused an estimated $12 billion in damage, including in Iowa, where a giant amount of America's corn is grown.
Yet only 16 percent of the state's corn was ruined.
The reason was science; the corn had been genetically engineered to be shorter. That meant it needed less water, and resulted in less environmental strain, plus shorter stalks meant less risk from wind.
In the early days of Christianity, after it was a tiny minority and therefore easy to blame for incompetent government choices (Nero, using a tactic politicians still use today) but before it was the dominant religion, the government did something smart; they ignored it.
They didn't have to punish Christians who refused to pay respect to the statue of the Emperor if the government had never asked them to do so in the first place.(1)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a CRISPR-based treatment for sickle cell disease, an inherited disorder that distorts the shape of red blood cells and disrupts the function of hemoglobin, the protein that carries and distributes oxygen throughout the body.
