STORY AT-A-GLANCE Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size, found everywhere in the environment, and capable of accumulating in human and animal lung tissues A 2025 study found microplastic particles in every lung sample from 51 bird species, with an average of 221 particles per bird’s lungs. These findings suggest similar […]

By: A Midwestern Doctor STORY AT-A-GLANCE Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a potent compound known for treating a wide range of “incurable” musculoskeletal, neurological, infectious, and autoimmune conditions due to its unique properties DMSO properties also transform cancer care as it causes cells to stop being cancerous, significantly increases the potency of many cancer treatments (hence […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Research shows eating slower increases meal length through more chews and bites, not by changing chewing tempo; this gives your brain more time to register fullness signals The study found following a slow rhythm of 40 beats per minute while eating significantly extended meal length by 47 seconds, adding 29 more chews and […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Low vitamin K intake damages brain function and memory by reducing brain cell growth and increasing inflammation, especially in the brain region responsible for learning and memory Vitamin K2 is important for directing calcium to bones instead of arteries, supporting brain health and reducing inflammation, but most Western diets lack sufficient K2 In […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that most often affects your skin, joints, kidneys and heart Lupus causes inflammation and a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes and fever Lupus can affect connective tissues in the body, which are largely composed of collagen Inadequate vitamin D levels are […]

STORY AT-A-GLANCE Fermented dairy like kefir helps rebuild bone by boosting osteocalcin and lowering bone breakdown markers, which results in stronger bones The probiotics in fermented dairy actively balance bone-building and bone-resorbing cells, helping prevent and even reverse the progression of osteoporosis Research shows that regular kefir consumption increased hip bone density by 5.5% in […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Just five days of ultraprocessed food consumption disrupts brain insulin function and appetite regulation, even without weight gain or blood sugar changes Brain scans revealed damage persisted after returning to a normal diet and affected memory, decision-making and reward centers similarly to patterns seen in obesity Environmental cues like food marketing, smells and […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Nearly 38% of cardiovascular deaths in Canada are linked to ultraprocessed foods. These products contribute to 96,000 new heart disease cases and 17,400 deaths each year Eating just one additional daily serving of ultraprocessed food raises your risk of obesity by 7%, abdominal fat by 5%, and Type 2 diabetes by 12% Ultraprocessed […]
