Science is hard. It takes proof, testing, and reproducibility.

Pseudoscience? Easy. Just make it up, add fear, and watch it spread.

If you come across any claim like: "... is the only food in the World that can cure ... disease?"

This is a sign of checking the literature immediately πŸ˜€

Because, this type of claims most probably lack scientific background πŸ‘

Solar Orbiter’s widest high-res view of the Sun Solar Orbiter’s widest high-resolution view of the Sun

NASA and ESA's Solar Orbiter has captured the sharpest, most detailed, highest-resolution image of the Sun ever seen by humanity.

See the 12,544 x 12,544 pixel megaportrait of the sun:

7. Use your body language effectively.
8. Avoid unnecessary repetition.
9. Communicate with empathy.
10. Avoid speaking without thinking.

If you want to improve your communication skills, practice these.

Normalize this by age 30:

1. Learn to speak slowly.
2. Be clear and understandable.
3. Avoid mumbling.
4. Make it a habit not to interrupt.
5. Really learn to listen.
6. Adjust your tone of voice appropriately.

Things People Get Wrong About Evolution - Sciencing People often misunderstand evolution, particularly its lack of intention, how quickly it can happen, and the fact it's still happening to us.

A common misunderstanding about evolution is the idea that it always produces organisms that are smarter, stronger, faster, or even perfectly suited to their environment.

Evolution doesn't make things better. It's a process, not a decision!

Regulatory RNA: The sculptors of gene expression | Whitehead Institute Whitehead Institute scientists have been uncovering the roles of regulatory RNA in controlling gene expression

Regulatory RNA: The sculptors of gene expression.

Collective research around the world shows that it is "regulatory RNAs" influence that determines whether or how a gene’s DNA sequence ends up as a viable protein.

Viruses: How herpes is assembled A combination of imaging techniques reveals how herpes simplex virus type 1 assembles within infected cells, highlighting the roles of essential viral proteins in viral assembly and exit.

Herpes viruses are among the most widespread human viruses, establishing lifelong infections by evading the immune system.

How do they actually infect cells?

One can find anything to criticize. Instead of focusing on the words, I suggest you focus on the content of the information.

I see that you don't pay any attention to grammar. You should write: "Great. You had to use the word "suggest." πŸ˜€

Don't get hung up on words!

Make sure to load up on probiotics, fiber, and healthy food.

Probiotics from fermented foods like yogurt can reduce the toxicity of plastic chemicals,

While fresh, nutritious, and minimally processed food lessen health risks.

6. Eat smaller fish β€” Fresh sardines, herring, oysters & clams consume less microplastics than larger predators.

7. Skip ultra-processed foods β€” They’re magnets for microplastics from machinery and packaging.

And the BEST thing you can do:

3. Drink purified water β€” High-quality filters trap microplastics from tap water.

4. No plastic in microwaves β€” Food can absorb tiny particles from heated plastic containers.

5. Get HEPA air purifiers β€” Captures small particles before you can inhale them.

If we can’t remove them, directly, how can we avoid microplastics?

1. Reduce plastic use β€” Avoid plastics in cosmetics, plastic cookware, bottles & single-use plastic.

2. Choose natural fibers β€” Cotton, linen, wool over synthetics like polyester.

PREVENTION is key. Here’s moreπŸ‘‡

4. Gut: Increase of harmful bacteria & disrupting digestion.

5. Metabolic health: Interference with cellular metabolismβ€” linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes.

And the scariest part?

We can’t just REMOVE microplastics once they’re inside us.

1. Brain: Neuroinflammation and cognitive decline as they breach of blood-brain barrier.

2. Heart: up to 4.5X increased risk of heart attacks & stroke.

3. Lungs: Chronic inflammation, impaired lung function, scarring from synthetic fibers.
