Goldfish manufacture alcohol in their own cells to lower their biological freezing temperature in frigid waters
Goldfish fill their bodies with alcohol to survive for days (even months) in oxygen-free frozen water. Evolutionary physiologists say that they have now discovered the mechanism in which the fish — and their wild relatives, the crucian carp — are able to live in an environment where most vertebrate animals would die within minutes. Typically, […]

Gulf of Mexico DEAD ZONE caused by agricultural runoff from U.S. farms
Every year, a hypoxic zone appears along the Gulf of Mexico. Otherwise known as a “dead zone,” it is an area of water that contains little to no oxygen. The significantly reduced levels essentially makes the body of water a biological desert. Hypoxic zones usually occur around summertime. But while these areas are considered to […]

BREAKTHROUGH as certain probiotics are found to produce powerful antibiotics that kill superbugs
Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine are saying that next-generation probiotics can reduce the risk of becoming infected with the bacterium Clostridium difficile, also known a C. difficile or C. diff. This is a common bacterial infection which causes gastrointestinal issues such as bowel discomfort and diarrhea. Treatment for the condition usually involves several […]

Eating processed sugar found to cause depression… but magnesium reverses it
Men are 23 percent more likely to develop depression or anxiety if their diet consists of a lot of high-sugar food such as soft drinks and desserts. Researchers at the University College London are stating conclusively that diet impacts mental health, and that high-sugar food can contribute to an increased risk of a mood disorder. […]

Interior of the moon likely contains billions of gallons of water
Breakthroughs in image scanning and material analysis could make lunar missions easier, if we are to take the latest information being released in Nature Geoscience into consideration. Researchers from Brown University are saying they have evidence that shows the moon’s mantle is water-rich, an assumption that was only heavily hinted at but never empirically proven. […]

A single volcanic eruption caused one of the planet’s most devastating mass extinctions, scientists discover
Geologists now believe that a massive volcanic eruption was the cause of the late Ordovician mass extinction. This is the second recorded biodiversity depletion out of five that scientists have recorded. Previous research has shown that an asteroid impact caused the fifth mass extinction, whereas the third and fourth mass extinctions were brought about by […]

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy found to have transgenerational damaging effect on developing brains
Previous studies confirmed that alcohol consumption can lead to lifelong disabilities in children such as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). However, medical doctors only assumed a connection between the mother and the exposed fetus. A transgenerational effect was never studied until now. A new study made by researchers at the University of California, Riverside found […]

Chemical pesticides, industrial pollution and ecological destruction causing sixth mass extinction on planet Earth
A peer-reviewed analysis published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences classified this age as one of “biological annihilation” — one that has prompted the planet’s sixth mass extinction event. Scientists behind the study threaten that should no policies be made to address this issue now, we may soon be facing catastrophic biodiversity changes. […]

Industrial fishing wastes 10 million tons of fish every year while devastating the world’s ocean life
A decades-long review of fishing practices concluded that 10 percent of all the fish that are caught worldwide are thrown back into the ocean. This amounted to around 10 million tons of fish — which are either dead or dying — being discarded due to poor fishing practices and improper management. A group of 300 […]

Here’s why you should NEVER reuse your plastic water bottles
Would you lick a toilet seat? Hey, don’t worry, you can just drink out of your used plastic bottle instead. Researchers have suggested that refilling plastic bottles and drinking from them causes more harm than good, with the item essentially becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. The study was conducted by Treadmill Reviews and analyzed […]
