A popular sweetener may damage the brain's defenses and raise stroke risk.🧠

Erythritol — a common sugar substitute found in everything from protein bars to energy drinks — has long been considered safe. But new research suggests it may damage the blood-brain barrier, the brain’s critical defense system, and raise the risk of stroke.

Scientists exposed brain cells to erythritol levels similar to what’s found in a single soft drink and saw a chain reaction of damage: weakened blood vessels, impaired blood flow regulation, and a disrupted clot-dissolving mechanism.

This builds on earlier studies linking erythritol to higher rates of heart attack and stroke. Its growing popularity with food manufacturers, thanks to its sugar-like taste, may come at a hidden cost to our health.

Consumers may want to take a closer look at what’s in their “healthy” snacks.

Japan has reached a remarkable demographic milestone, with over 95,000 people aged 100 or older 95,119 as of September 1, 2024. This marks the 54th consecutive year the centenarian population has grown. Nearly 88% of these individuals are women, aligning with global patterns of female longevity. Experts attribute this trend to Japan’s exceptional healthcare system, balanced diet, active lifestyles, and strong social support networks. The steady rise in centenarians reflects the country’s world-leading life expectancy and ongoing improvements in quality of life. Japan’s achievement offers valuable lessons for nations aiming to extend both lifespan and healthy years of living.

🚨 URGENT ALERT: Pfizer’s Hidden GMO Enzyme in 90% of American Cheese– Unlabeled and Unregulated!

A stunning report exposes a covert ingredient in over 90% of U.S. cheese: Fermentation-Produced Chymosin (FPC), a GMO enzyme engineered by Pfizer using CRISPR technology.

By splicing animal genes into bacteria, yeast, or mold, this lab-created coagulant replaces traditional animal rennet, cutting costs and boosting profits for cheese manufacturers.

Yet, due to an FDA loophole, FPC sneaks onto your plate without any label disclosure.

Unlike classic cheese made with milk, salt, and starter culture, most cheddar, mozzarella, and more now rely on this bioengineered enzyme.

The FDA approved FPC as “Generally Regarded as Safe” based on a single 90-day rat study, sidestepping comprehensive safety testing.

Concerns are mounting over potential toxins, allergens, or long-term health risks, with no robust studies to confirm its safety for widespread consumption.

Meanwhile, companies market FPC-based cheese as “vegetarian-friendly,” leaving consumers unaware of its GMO origins.

This raises MORE serious questions about transparency and safety in our food supply.

Why are Americans consuming genetically modified ingredients without their knowledge or consent?

It is important to be informed in Nova Scotia about automatic donor donation. If you want to opt out, you have to do so when applying for your healthcard. Although I am a supporter for organ donation, it should absolutely be voluntary. At the moment there are many unanswered questions about organ harvesting for profit. Organ donation happens when a person is still alive, organs are not harvested from cadavers. Therefore, strict laws should be in place to ensure it is the will of the person to agree.

“But in recent years, as the system has pushed to increase transplants, a growing number of patients have endured premature or bungled attempts to retrieve their organs. Though Ms. Hawkins's case is an extreme example of what can go wrong, a New York Times examination revealed a pattern of rushed decision-making that has prioritized the need for more organs over the safety of potential donors.

In New Mexico, a woman was subjected to days of preparation for donation, even after her family said that she seemed to be regaining consciousness, which she eventually did. In Florida, a man cried and bit on his breathing tube but was still withdrawn from life support. In West Virginia, doctors were appalled when coordinators asked a paralyzed man coming off sedatives in an operating room for consent to remove his organs.”

‘Dissolving Illusions’ by Suzanne Humphries MD is one of the best books you can own on the history of disease and vaccinations.

📖 Key points from the book:

• Major infectious diseases, including smallpox, polio, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and whooping cough, experienced significant declines in mortality and incidence in developed nations during the 19th and early 20th centuries, long before vaccines were introduced or widely implemented. For example, smallpox mortality in England decreased by over 90% from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s due to non-vaccine interventions, such as improved public health measures.

• Public health advancements, including clean water systems, effective sewage disposal, and enhanced hygiene practices, were the primary drivers in reducing the spread of waterborne and contagious diseases. Diseases like cholera, typhoid fever, and dysentery, which were rampant in unsanitary conditions, saw sharp declines after cities implemented piped water and waste management systems. For instance, cholera outbreaks in London dropped significantly after the 1850s following sanitation reforms, such as those prompted by John Snow’s identification of contaminated water sources.

• Malnutrition significantly contributed to high disease mortality in impoverished populations during the 19th and early 20th centuries. As access to better-quality food and increased food availability improved, immune systems became stronger, reducing susceptibility to infections. Historical data shows that diseases like tuberculosis and measles had higher mortality rates among malnourished groups, and their decline coincided with improved diets and rising living standards.

• Vaccines are frequently credited with eradicating diseases, but historical data demonstrates that many diseases were already in steep decline before vaccines were introduced. For example, measles mortality in the United States dropped by over 98% from 1900 to the early 1960s, prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963. Similarly, scarlet fever nearly disappeared without the use of a widely implemented vaccine, driven by better living conditions and medical care.

• Historical disease records and mortality statistics contain inconsistencies, with public health authorities selectively presenting data to exaggerate the impact of vaccination campaigns. Graphs from England and Wales show that smallpox mortality declined significantly before mandatory vaccination programs, contradicting claims that vaccines were the primary factor in its control.

• Early vaccination efforts, particularly for smallpox, caused significant complications and adverse effects. Smallpox vaccinations in the 19th century led to outbreaks, infections, and other issues, including the transmission of syphilis due to unhygienic practices. Vaccinated individuals sometimes contracted the disease, indicating that early vaccines were less effective than claimed.

• Changes in medical diagnostic criteria and disease classification distorted historical disease trends. Conditions once diagnosed as polio in the early 20th century are now classified as other illnesses, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome or acute flaccid paralysis, due to stricter diagnostic standards. This reclassification falsely attributes the decline of polio to vaccines, as the disease’s apparent disappearance aligns with changes in reporting practices.

• The medical establishment has consistently underemphasized the role of non-medical factors, such as sanitation, nutrition, reduced overcrowding, better housing, and advancements in medical care (e.g., antibiotics and antitoxin therapy), in reducing disease mortality. For example, diphtheria mortality fell significantly due to improved treatments like antitoxin therapy and sanitation improvements before the widespread use of its vaccine.

• Historical data, including death certificates, government health reports, and medical literature, reveal that the decline of infectious diseases resulted from a complex interplay of social, economic, and environmental factors, rather than vaccines alone. Public health narratives have conditioned the public to attribute disease reduction solely to vaccines, ignoring these broader contributions.

Antibiotic resistance is escalating, and seafood might be part of the problem. 🍤

A new study has detected colistin resistance genes, which make bacteria immune to one of our last-resort antibiotics, in imported shrimp and scallops bought from food markets in Atlanta, Georgia.

Colistin is a powerful antibiotic reserved for life-threatening infections that don’t respond to other drugs. But resistance is spreading globally, and now researchers have found evidence that it may be travelling through the food chain.

Around 90 percent of shrimp consumed in the U.S. is imported, often from countries with lax antibiotic regulations in their food production. This means your dinner could unknowingly contribute to the rise of superbugs.

Antimicrobial-resistant infections already kill hundreds of thousands of people each year. Without action, this public health risk will only continue to grow – and antibiotic treatment options will shrink.

More adults are turning away from smartphones and embracing “dumbphones” — basic mobile phones with limited functions like calling and texting — in a growing movement toward digital minimalism. This shift isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s a conscious lifestyle choice aimed at reducing screen time, regaining focus, and improving mental well-being.

Smartphones, with their constant notifications, endless social media scrolls, and addictive apps, are often blamed for increasing stress, anxiety, and decreased productivity. In contrast, dumbphones strip away distractions. Some modern minimalist phones, such as the Light Phone or Punkt MP02, offer essential tools like calls, texts, alarms, and GPS, but intentionally exclude social media, internet browsers, or email.

Many users report dramatic changes after the switch — some reducing their screen time from 9+ hours a day to just 20–30 minutes. The result? More time for hobbies, face-to-face conversations, reading, and real rest.

This trend reflects a broader cultural response to tech overload, especially among millennials and Gen Z, who are increasingly seeking balance and mental clarity. Ditching the smartphone isn’t just about the device — it’s about reclaiming control of time and attention in an always-on world.

What surprises me most about humankind is that we get bored of our childhood, rush to grow up, and long to be children again. That we lose our health to make money and then lose our money to restore our health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, we forget the present, such that we live in neither the present nor the future. That we live as if we'll never die and die as though we've never lived."
