Removing and replacing such furniture cuts the level of polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, in the bloodstream by about 50 percent in about 17 months. These organic chemicals are linked with cancer risk, hormone disruption, and impaired brain development in children.Now is the time to inventory your furniture and make certain that every piece you sit, lounge, or sleep on won’t land you or your children in the hospital or worse.https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-12-swapping-sofas-chairs-body-flame.htmlhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0269749125017002?via=ihub#furniture

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DSlHweeF4LV/Many think that a nice tan acquired at the tanning parlor makes you look healthy, but spending time under those UV lights may triple your risk of cooking up a deadly skin cancer. Dermatologists at Northwestern Medicine and the University of California-San Francisco now report this fact in the journal Science Advances after reviewing medical records from about 6,000 people and using single-cell DNA sequencing on skin biopsies from tanning-bed users and non-users.The tabulated data shows that people frequenting tanning beds have close to three times the risk of melanoma compared with non-users. That risk persists even after adjusting for sunburn history and familial predisposition. The DNA analysis reveals that the skin’s pigment creating cells, melanocytes, carried nearly twice as many mutations in people who tanned indoors vs outdoors. Most concerning is, these cancer-linked mutations appear not just on light-exposed skin, but also on normal-appearing areas li

Vidcast:  https://www.instagram.com/p/DSlFvNHjFjA/If you are sensitive to gluten, or, worse yet, have celiac disease, you need to steer clear of biodegradable, compostable dishware and utensils. Pharmacy researchers at the University of Seville now report in an American Chemical Society peer-reviewed journal that certain biodegradable plates and cups contain wheat-related proteins that leak into presumably gluten-free foods.Six of the 8 biodegradable tableware brands contained wheat. Although plate-borne wheat proteins were transferred to solid food when their concentration were high, liquids served in the biodegradable cups readily picked up the wheat antigens.  Transfer of the antigens was higher when the food and the tableware were heated and was related to the time during which foods contacted the dishes and cups.Unfortunately, biodegradable, compostable products are not required to list their ingredients on packaging.  Given this gap, if you have a wheat or gluten allergy or celiac disease, best to avoid

Vidcast:   https://www.instagram.com/p/DSlE_wzjQyN/Utilizing artificial intelligence to help discover the very nature of the process by which viruses enter human cells, bioengineers and virologists at Washington State University have uncovered an “on-off” switch that can completely block viral intrusion. Their study, published in the journal Nanoscale, focused on herpes viruses which utilize a “fusion” protein to enter human and animal cells.The researchers combined AI-driven analysis, high-resolution molecular simulations, and lab experiments to sift through thousands of protein interactions to pinpoint the single amino acid that is the regulator for herpesvirus entry. When this amino acid was altered, the herpesvirus could not fuse with or enter cells. This eliminates infection with viral reproduction before it even begins.We don’t know if this on-off switch is universal or herpesvirus-specific.  It is, though, a powerful demonstration that machine learning can search a large body of biologic processes to f
