Scientists have found iron-60 with interstellar origins in Antarctica, likely a distant supernova that occurred millions of years ago. 

The samples came from 1,100 pounds of snow gathered from Antarctica where the high altitude of the sample kept it free of dust contamination. The snow was melted in a German lab and analyzed with an accelerator mass spectrometer, where the rare nuclear iron-60 isotope was detected.

Though trial lawyers and the environmental groups that stand to benefit financially from more lawsuits are lined up to sue over 5G wireless using shoddy epidemiological massaging, it's a blatant lie to claim non-ionizing radiation is causing brain cancer.

Not "unproven" or other terms that coddle activists who trade in disinformation, it's a lie.

But aesthetics and a distaste for FCC bullying are fine reasons to object. Net neutrality is not the first time the FCC engaged in the kind of 'we are the government' tactics the IRS and the US Post Office engage in, anyone who tried to create a low power radio station and got threatened with jail knows it's a common tactic.

Organic food has no surprise spot testing, and no testing at all from its clients like Environmental Working Group, in the U.S. you just have to rely on the willingness of over 80 groups that are in the business of selling stickers to believe their clients - the people who pay them and keep them in business.

Happy Family Organics has another win, by expanding the number of states in which participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) can purchase its jars of "organic" baby food.

The company also claims it is making packaging commitments that "support a more circular economy" but the beginning of that circle need to be the price poor people pay, not fuzzy-wuzzy marketing claims about whatever "sustainability" is pretending to be this week.

Artificial Cranial Deformation (ACD) is the practice of modifying the skull from infancy to create a permanently altered shape, often to signify social status.

In a new study, genetic, isotopic and skeletal analysis of three human skeletons dating to 415-560 AD excavated from the Hermanov vinograd archaeological site in Osijek Croatia revealed that all were males between 12 and 16 years of age at death and that they all suffered from malnutrition.

They are not obviously of different social status, but genetic analysis found that the two with cranial modifications exhibited very distinct ancestries, one from the Near East and the other from East Asia. 

There is a pattern to junk science that borders on disinformation. Lay out all of the things you want gullible science journalists to repeat in the press release but then at the bottom of the actual journal article concede that your statistical link is simply an exploratory results and that associations you found cannot show causation.

Like that trace levels of air pollution cause psychiatric disorders.

Protein, fat, and sugar are all essential components of a balanced human diet but too many calories of any will cause obesity. And since more and more health care in the U.S. is subsidized by other taxpayers, it has increasingly been argued that the people paying have the right to tell you how to live.

Meanwhile, governments that want more taxes but don't want to risk a vote can simply put a tax on certain foods.

Very few in the plant juice dairy substitute industry want to go without mentioning milk but they are in a legal and logical pickle; they simultaneously contend that no one is deceived into thinking their products are milk while also claiming it is absolutely essential to their business that they be able to use the word milk in their marketing.

Having never watched any of them milk an almond or a soybean or a kernel of rice, I can't say how close their process is to actual milking but I am skeptical. However, dairy farming also has its own problems with honesty, as a lawsuit against Tillamook hopes to show. An Animal Legal Defense Fund lawsuit in Oregon says they are being deceptive, perhaps like the plant juice trade groups and companies they represent. 

Roopkund Lake is a relatively small body of water 5,000 meters above sea level in the Himalayan Mountains.

It's also home to the skeletal remains of several hundred individuals of unknown origin and that led to a lot of speculation about how it came to be. Were they part of a massacre or sacrifice? A cataclysmic event?

No, people just threw bodies in the lake throughout history, according to analysis of 38 skeletons found there. One group of 23 individuals have ancestry that falls within the range of variation of present-day South Asians, while 14 have ancestry typical of the eastern Mediterranean and one individual with Southeast Asian-related ancestry.
