The Washington Post (1/8, Ovalle, Cadell) reports, “Chinese crackdowns on chemicals used to make illicit fentanyl may have played a significant role in the sharp reduction of U.S. overdose deaths, according to research published Thursday.” The findings suggest “that the illicit fentanyl trade – which drove a historic surge in drug deaths during the past decade – experienced a large-scale decline in supply.” Overdose deaths “surpassed 100,000 annually during the Biden administration, but began to decline in mid-2023 and plunged further in its final year.” Overdose deaths “have kept falling under” the current Administration. The findings were published in Science.

The U.S. has long scrutinized China’s role in the illicit fentanyl trade. New research suggests the country’s crackdowns may have reduced U.S. overdose deaths.

Quite outrageous.
"emails uncovered as part of lawsuits against the weedkiller’s manufacturer, Monsanto, have shown that the company’s scientists played a significant role in conceiving and writing the study. "
Roundup and glyphosate were never safe
Traces of glyphosate have been detected in foods like bread, cereal and snacks, and in the urine of both adults and children, though there are signs that levels in food have dropped after public pressure led some companies to stop applying glyphosate shortly before harvest, a practice that leaves behind more chemical residues.
Even in 2015 glyphosate was classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans .

Problems with a 25-year-old landmark paper on the safety of Roundup’s active ingredient, glyphosate, have led to calls for the E.P.A. to reassess the widely used chemical.

Cholesterol was blamed for decades while the real problem kept getting ignored. Cholesterol isn’t a toxin—it’s a repair molecule your body uses to protect and heal.

What actually damages arteries is chronic inflammation driven by sugar, seed oils, and ultra-processed food.

That’s why lowering cholesterol numbers without addressing inflammation doesn’t restore health. The body adapts to what you feed it, not to fear-based theories.

Very good news!!!
The future of our nutrition may be brighter.

This is a massive shift that most people won’t understand until years from now. $650 million has just been moved away from chemical-dependent crop subsidies and into soil-first regenerative programs — and that matters more for human health than almost any supplement or medical intervention being pushed today.

Pesticides don’t just stay on crops. They move through soil, water, animals, and eventually into our bodies, disrupting hormones, damaging metabolism, and fueling chronic inflammation. Regenerative agriculture flips that model by restoring soil biology instead of sterilizing it.

Healthier soil produces food with higher mineral content, better fatty acid profiles, and fewer toxic residues. This isn’t about ideology — it’s about reducing chemical exposure at the source instead of managing symptoms downstream.

You don’t fix a poisoned food system with more pills. You fix it by stopping the poison.

Text neck describes a repetitive stress injury or overuse syndrome in the neck, caused by prolonged use of mobile devices with the head bent downward and not moving. Also called tech neck, text neck is commonly associated with texting, but it can be related to many activities performed on phones and tablets while looking downward, such as surfing the web, playing games, or doing work.
The weight of the head is a key factor for text neck pain. The neck’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments are meant to support the head’s weight—10 to 12 pounds—in a neutral position balanced atop the cervical spine. When texting on a phone, it is common to bend the head forward and look down at a 45- or 60-degree angle, which places about 50 to 60 pounds of force on the neck.1 The neck is not able to withstand this amount of pressure over a prolonged period.
