Deep dives
Margarine Misconception

Restraint with Life Support
A study indicated that many individuals with traumatic brain injuries might have survived and recovered if they were not taken off life support prematurely, highlighting the critical decisions surrounding life support and traumatic injuries.
Advancements with CRISPR Technology
CRISPR technology has shown promising results in a study aiming to treat a rare form of blindness. 79% of participants experienced improvements due to experimental gene editing.
Life in an Iron Lung
An individual lived in an iron lung for 70 years due to polio paralysis. Despite the physical limitations, he thrived in various aspects of life, such as painting, reading, and even becoming a lawyer, showcasing resilience and adaptability.
The Benefits of Creatine for Women
Creatine is a highly recommended supplement for women due to its extensive benefits, such as muscle building, fat loss, improved organ health, cognitive function, and longevity. Despite initial associations with muscle gains, creatine offers a wide range of benefits beyond just physical strength and muscle growth, making it a valuable supplement for overall health and well-being.
The Impact of Under Eating on Joint Health
Under eating can have detrimental effects on joint health, among other aspects of overall well-being. Nutrient deficiencies resulting from inadequate food intake can lead to joint degeneration, increased inflammation, and negative impacts on bone health. While there may be temporary benefits to controlled fasting, chronic under eating significantly increases the risk of joint issues, highlighting the importance of balanced nutrition for optimal joint health.
