Chewing gum is filled with microplastics, a potential driver for illness. "About 94% of the microplastics within gum are released within the first eight minutes of chewing, the study showed. The results indicate a significant human exposure and potential health risk due to the use of chewing gums, if the released microplastics accumulate in the human intestinal tract” #health #microplastics #hazard #carcinogenic #pollution #petroleum #cancer #bigoil thestar.com/life/health-wellne

Toronto Star · Chewing gum may be releasing thousands of microplastics in your mouth, new research suggestsBy Kevin Jiang

En discutant avec ma copine Sigrun qui est prof et allemande (et donc prof en Allemagne vous suivez ?!) j'ai découvert que là où nous disions "transposition didactique" nos collègues outre-Rhin utilisaient le terme "didaktische Reduktion". Ça change carrément la perspective et je préfère le terme français. C'était juste un pouet pour me rappeler que j'ai un vrai métier quand je ne suis pas en arrêt maladie 🙃, ça commence tout doucement à me manquer... #VieDeProf #cancer #ouinouin

SOUND THE ALARM!🚨

Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted.

Intentionally.

It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you!

NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it activates other proteins involved in this process. Plk1 is also overexpressed in many types of cancer. This makes it a promising target for cancer therapies. However, drugs that inhibit Plk1 have often proven ineffective.

Phys.org · A starting signal for cell division: Molecular switch ensures that cells divide at the right timeBy Carmen Rotte

As the #NIH slashes funding for research into #Alzheimer's, #cancer, #COVID & #diseases that inflict pain & suffering, I'm heartbroken & furious. #Early-onset Alzheimer's took my father away from me &, more importantly, himself. Why would anyone in their right mind (right, the mind of the #fascist is almost incomprehensible) do such a thing? If nothing else, a selfish viewpt. says this is idiocy. These cuts are meant to bring us to our knees. Let's resist (& sue them into oblivion).

Great read, it's not just about the cancer as it all comes with history.

"When you have breast cancer, and people know you’ve had breast cancer, they look at your breasts. They can’t help themselves. A quick glance down, and then up again. Sheepish."

Turns out my Samsung needs to be 8 inches away what the fuck... A whole dick length at all times.
Like not in my hands.

"If your device supports the wireless charging or power sharing functions, this equipment should be operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 in.) between the device and your body."

Disgusting that it's not a selling point that your health is at risk for using. Read the fine print if you want to live.

Radiation isn't just about what you might hear in a sci-fi movie; it's the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. From the sunlight that warms our skin to the X-rays that help us see inside our bodies, understanding radiation is crucial for grasping the fundamentals of the universe.
