How about plastic for dinner? It is showing up in mussels from the Arctic to China, and ending up on our plates
While some moules et frites (mussels and fries) sounds delicious, the dish probably wouldn’t be as appetizing if every other bite had plastic in it. According to a recent study, mussels from the European Arctic to China are contaminated with “tiny bits of plastic.” Mussels in Arctic waters contain the most plastic of all specimens […]

Nature had it right: Whole eggs found to be better for muscle building and repair than just egg whites
According to a recent study, individuals who eat at least 18 grams (g) of protein from whole eggs versus egg whites following resistance exercise build protein in their muscles differently. The process, named “protein synthesis,” takes place during the post-workout period, and the post-workout muscle-building response in those who consumed whole eggs is 40 percent greater […]

Balanced potassium levels found to be critical to circadian rhythm processes, including sleep
Like other cells in the body, red blood cells follow circadian rhythms (24-hour biological clocks). These circadian rhythms alter cell activity from day to night. But unlike other cells, red blood cells do not have DNA. Red blood cells also lack the “clock genes” which control rhythms. It was a mystery when it came to […]

Anthropologists discover how teeth reveal vitamin D levels: X-rays can now be used to check for deficiency
We often take care of our oral health to make sure that our breath stays fresh, but did you know that dental X-rays can be used to determine vitamin D deficiencies (rickets)? While this is a grave health concern that often goes undiagnosed, Lori D’Ortenzio and Megan Brickley, anthropologists from McMaster University, have revealed that it can be […]

Consciousness, cognitive function, memory storage: Scientists study the role of the thalamus
It is a fact that the thalamus, which is located in the center of the brain, is the “relay center” that delivers incoming sensory information so the other parts of the brain can process it. However, clinical findings have implied that certain sections of the thalamus could also have a crucial role in consciousness and cognitive […]
