Posted by on Sep 27, 2021 in Technology | Comments Off on PlakTak: The Military Has Developed Candy That’s Healthy

The US military has quietly led to a lot of technological advancements that few know about. One recent example; before we had a serious COVID-19 infectious disease problem to worry about, the US National Institutes of Health tried to use Ebola in parts of Africa to ask Congress for $100 million in emergency funding to combat it.

Posted by on Sep 22, 2021 in Environment | Comments Off on Honeybees Have Increased 85% In The Last 60 Years

A new analysis finds that if there ever was a "Beepocalypse", it hasn't been during this century.

A new analysis using data since 1961 found that the number of managed honey bee colonies has risen by 85% since 1961. Managed colonies are the only way to create reasonable estimates, that is how surveys of losses are done annually, but in the past activists trying to create a new fundraising target leveraged blips in averages to claim that a Colony Collapse Disorder was being caused by...farmers.

Posted by on Sep 20, 2021 in Immunology | Comments Off on Does Nicotine Prevent COVID Transmission? France Might Begin Clinical Trials

As we are hopefully exiting the third coronavirus pandemic of the last 17 years, it is time to consider that it might become an annual event, like the flu. Since it mutates, there could also be an annual vaccine, but if flu is any indication half of people won't take it.

Like Western Civilization? Thank Dairy Farming

Posted by on Sep 15, 2021 in Anthropology | Comments Off on Like Western Civilization? Thank Dairy Farming

Not a lot is truly known about the cultural world of early mankind but one thing is settled; when food insecurity dropped and it became more affordable, in terms of time or money, culture flourished and expansion began.

Domestication of animals and farming took humans out of foraging and secured our place as the dominant species.

Posted by on Sep 13, 2021 in Public Health | Comments Off on Epidemiology Paper Correlates Vaping To Anorexia – And Then We Wonder Why Anyone Is Skeptical About COVID-19 Data

In 2021, it is vital that the public trusts epidemiologists when it comes to disease transmission. The cultural obstacle is that epidemiology is such a large field, much of it populated by woo. Osteopaths hurt their own reputations by not demanding that hucksters like Joe Mercola have his license revoked, while epidemiologists who want to be trusted guides now need to recognize they have to overcome suspect claims about some new fad food linked to increasing longevity, trace chemicals linked to changes in hormones, and that particulate matter so small it takes an electron microscope to see it is linked to early deaths.
