It isn't a cancer drug, so that isn't a fair comparison. GI symptoms from eating more broccoli and not ever drinking are also pretty mild compared to cancer drugs. Aspirin appears to be a preventative according to some initial res

Whenever people talk about the benefits of direct sunlight, those wavelengths make it through clouds (just to a lesser degree). Whereas 5-10 minutes morning exposure is plenty without clouds, it is recommended to increase to 15-20 minutes d

If we are talking about humans and the hormones associated with the 24-hour sleep/wake cycle, they are largely influenced by blue light which is in the visible spectrum. It's part of why screens without orange-shifting software wi

24 hour cycles are even observed in bacteria and archaea as well as the individual cells in our bodies. If I am understanding correctly, even in pure darkness bacteria will respond to 24-hour cycles of temperature change. Considering this,

My anecdotal experience agrees with this. Long/intense cardio doesn't improve my sleep but weight training seems to. Occasionally I have to struggle to stay awake to keep my schedule, which is marvelous compared to struggling to f

To be fair, 55-65% trust in the integrity of scientific research among scientists is still abysmal and indicates a huge problem. If we are talking about the number of scientists who see flaws and hold skepticism, that's absolutely fi

Chickens will eat insects voraciously if given the opportunity. They are programmed to wander around all day stabbing their beaks at anything that moves or looks like it might be able to move.

Right, but we can all agree that they still make them, and sometimes big ones. Unless they are so careful that they severely limit both their potential and contribution to group. Or they are the rare person who happens to be both "perf

A lot of people thought the same about Roe v Wade. Or the 4th amendment which has been disregarded time and again in the name of safety. In any case, reasonable and effective gun control can be enacted without repealing the 2nd.

As a general rule, don't seek dating advice from (probably scripted) Tiktok videos. Really, the less you try and learn about the human condition from sources like that, the better.
