A new study suggests that boiling tap water might be a simple way to cut down on the amount of microplastics we consume. Microplastics are tiny plastic particles that come from food, water, and air. These particles have been found deep inside human organs and tissues, raising concerns about their potential harm to health. How Boiling Water Reduces Microplastics Researchers in China tested the effect of boiling water on microplastics. They added tiny plastic particles, known as nanoplastics and microplastics, to tap water with varying mineral content. After boiling the water for five minutes, they found a significant reduction in…

In the Cilo Mountains, located in southeastern Türkiye, glaciers that have existed for approximately 20,000 years are melting at an alarming rate. These ancient ice formations, which sit at an elevation of 4,135 meters above sea level, are slowly disappearing due to climate change and human activity. Scientists are concerned that, if current trends continue, these glaciers could vanish entirely within the next two decades. The Shrinking Glaciers of the Cilo Mountains Over the past 30 years, Türkiye’s Cilo glaciers have experienced a staggering 55% reduction in size. Professor Faruk Alaeddinoğlu, a leading researcher from Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, attributes…

A new blood test could change how doctors detect and track Alzheimer’s disease in people with memory issues. Scientists say the test can help doctors choose the best treatment, including new drugs like donanemab and lecanemab. These medications work best when used early, making early detection crucial. Growing Need for Better Alzheimer’s Diagnosis Professor Oskar Hansson of Lund University is one of the study’s authors. He explained why this test is important. More countries are now approving treatments that target amyloid proteins in the brain. To use these treatments effectively, doctors need better and cheaper ways to diagnose Alzheimer’s. Current…

NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams recently addressed claims that they were stranded in space during their extended mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The astronauts set the record straight during a press conference in Houston, where they highlighted the challenges they faced but emphasized that they were never left without support. The mission, originally slated for just 10 days, turned into a nine-month stay after technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft delayed their return to Earth. However, both astronauts were quick to dismiss the suggestion that they were stranded, insisting that they were in constant communication with…

Seed oils have been a staple in kitchens for years, but recently, they have come under fire.
