You Probably Knew Olive Oil is Healthy. But Most People Don’t Realize It Can Do THIS
Olive oil is a staple crop for farmers in the Mediterranean region, and is one of the staple foods of what was named the number one diet of all diets by the U.S. News & World Report in 2018. Olive oil is packed full of polyphenols, a natural health-enhancing and protecting antioxidant that is typically found in higher amounts and of higher quality in organic olive oil. Virgin olive oil also has higher levels of these polyphenols, which are known to have anti-inflammatory and mild antibiotic properties. These and other properties make olive oil an excellent addition to salads, althou... read more

Statins Rethink: LDL Cholesterol Alone Has Very Weak Association With Heart Attack, According To A New Paper
What correlation giveth, correlation can taketh away. Statins, taken by some 40 million Americans, may not be helping a lot of them. Statins are used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke. They are endorsed by medical groups and the American Heart Association, but many won't benefit from these drugs based on new research. Basically, healthy people with high cholesterol aren't gaining anything. read more read more

ROOTING FOR INJURIES: THE COMING TRUMP-DeSANTIS BRAWL
I think Nick Catoggio, the commentator formerly known as Allahpundit, could be right when he argues that Donald Trump will probably start attacking Ron DeSantis relatively soon: At some point an impatient narcissist will no longer be able to ignore his rival’s effrontery, especially if it’s cutting into his camera time. It’s one thing for DeSantis to steal Trump’s hand gestures, it’s another for him to steal the policy issue on which Trump has made his bones as a “fighter.” The day Trump loses his distinction as “King of the Jerks” to DeSantis is the day we have a bona fide fight o... read more

"A Look to the Heavens"
“This pretty, open cluster of stars, M34, is about the size of the Full Moon on the sky. Easy to appreciate in small telescopes, it lies some 1,800 light-years away in the constellation Perseus. At that distance, M34 physically spans about 15 light-years. Formed at the same time from the same cloud of dust and gas, all the stars of M34 are about 200 million years young. But like any open star cluster orbiting in the plane of our galaxy, M34 will eventually disperse as it experiences gravitational tides and encounters with the Milky Way's interstellar clouds and other stars.

"To Really Ask..."
“Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world – few really ask.

To really ask is to open the door to a whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.” - Anne Rice, “The Vampire Lestat” read more

“There Is No Reality Anymore…”

Consider, however, that many times as many people die from Covid daily in the US (300-400) than when the US first announced the outrageous lockdowns of March 16, 2020.

*The Truth Behind “Self-Made” Billionaires* Why do we glorify “self-made” billionaires? Well, being “self-made” is a seductive idea —it suggests that anybody can get to the top if they’re willing to work hard enough. It’s what the American Dream is all about. If Kylie Jenner can become a “self-made” billionaire at age 21, so can you and I! Even as wages stay stagnant and wealth inequality grows, it’s a comfort to think that we’re all simply one cosmetics company and some elbow grease away from fortune. Unfortunately, a nice idea is all it is. Self-made billionaires are a myth... read more
