Turns out >50,000 cancer cases could be prevented if our water suppliers were better at removing chromium, arsenic, and nitrates. One to three of these contaminants exceed health standards in 82% of U.S. community water systems. Time to call the water district? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Two COVID vaccine shots reduced risk of Long-COVID syndrome in children ages 5–17 by 57%-73%! Long-lasting post-COVID symptoms in children are uncommon, affecting 1%-3%, but can be severe. More evidence that mRNA vaccines produce NATURAL immunity! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

The European countries economies may not be growing much lately but make no mistake, they are rich countries - much wealthier than Russia. And if Germany's new leader, Merz, is good on his pledge to help UKR it will be bad for Russia. Russia's GDP is only half that of Germany!

It is the cumulative level of LDL particles (apoB test measures it exactly whereas LDL Cholesterol approximates it) that drives formation of atherosclerotic plaque in your arteries. Starting a statin when young and keeping LDL low is key. And if you start early you don't need as high a statin dose.

Wastewater analysis shows COVID spiking in New Mexico and Oregon. Some states are no longer testing wastewater - see ND is blank - to quote Forrest Gump: "Stupid is as stupid does." Can't plan if you don't test. www.newsweek.com/covid-wastew...
