Practical Ways to Reduce Microplastic Exposure
“Using containers intended for hot food, replacing badly worn plastic utensils, avoiding overheating damaged nonstick cookware, and choosing reusable drinkware are low-burden ways to reduce avoidable contact.”
Being able to reflect on memories and assess their accuracy is a skill that develops in childhood and is accompanied by changes in the cortex.
“By analyzing changes in individual children over time, they could show that decreases in thickness in the insular cortex and increases in thickness in the ventromedial cortex predicted improvements in metamemory over time.”
Neu5Gc
“These findings suggest a mechanism whereby dietary consumption of Neu5Gc can initiate or exacerbate an inflammatory response at the endothelium, potentially playing a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. A study investigating the development and progression of diet-related cancer found that Neu5Gc can accumulate in human lung, pancreatic, and ovarian tumors.”
Sauna
“C-reactive protein, or CRP, one of several blood proteins often referred to as acute phase reactants, participates in the body's inflammatory cascade. Elevated CRP is associated with the development of atherosclerosis, loss of arterial compliance, and incidence of cardiovascular events.”
