Are Raw Milk, Seed Oils, and Uncured Deli Meat Good for You? - Consumer Reports
Seed Oils
These oils—which include canola, grapeseed, sunflower, and soy—are extracted from the seeds of plants. Critics say that their high levels of omega-6 fats raise inflammation in the body and that consuming them can lead to cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other illnesses.But the scientific evidence doesn't support that. "In dozens of studies looking at omega-6s and inflammation, I haven't seen one that shows an inflammatory effect, and roughly half of studies are showing anti-inflammatory effects," Willett says. For example, a 2019 review of 30 studies, published in the journal Circulation, found that people with the highest blood levels of a type of omega-6 fat called linoleic acid had a 7 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease, possibly because linoleic acid reduces inflammation. Plus, Willett says, we've known for decades that these oils also cut LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, and a higher intake of them has contributed significantly to the large decline in deaths from heart disease in the U.S."

TELO Releases Cancer Suppressing Results
Telomir Pharmaceuticals
I am not making a stock recommendation. This kind of drug, if it works, would be a miracle.
I have made a prediction that we would find ways to extend human lifespan. My prediction might be wrong, but there is research going on in this area.

How Could a Universe Come from NOTHING?

Most of this I have heard before.
I am sure that this will be controversial. There are many unknowns in science. Eventually we may know more.

RFK Jr. says he doesn't know how many Americans died from COVID
According to the most recent data publicized by the CDC, more than 1.2 million Americans had died from COVID as of Aug. 23. Numerous independent studies have found COVID vaccinations saved millions of lives in the United States and millions more around the world. More than 3.2 million American lives were saved from the first two years of COVID vaccinations, according to researchers in one study from the nonprofit Commonwealth Fund...
Kennedy blamed "dismal" data from the Biden administration for lacking clear answers about COVID, accusing the CDC under former President Joe Biden of "firing all the people who questioned the orthodoxy."
In another tense exchange with Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, Kennedy said he agreed with comments from Dr. Retsef Levi, one of his handpicked appointments to a vaccine advisory panel, critical of the mRNA vaccine. Bennet singled out Levi previously saying mRNA vaccines "cause serious harm, including death, especially among young people."
"I wasn't aware he said it, but I agree with it," Kennedy said.

I saw the appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a potential problem. He appeared to be a conspiracy theorist, and likely would not be impartial in his judgement.

Watch "The Earthquake Bed That Turns Into a Life-Saving Shelter"

Now, if only the rescuers knew you are inside a metal coffin buried in the building debris. Then again the building may catch fire and you will literally be baked upon being discovered. It's a unique idea, possibly life saving, except for the "what ifs" of earthquakes.
In Utah, there were reports of mild tremors, but none that affected me. The Wasatch mountain range follows a fault line that experts predict could cause a major earthquake someday.
I'm more concerned about tornadoes. We live in Tornado Alley. After moving to New Whiteland, Indiana, I saw what looked like a funnel cloud in Greenwood, and then the news reported a tornado hitting Greenwood. Year later, after I moved to Columbus, Whiteland was hit by a tornado.
Bartholomew County, where I live now, had three tornado warnings this spring, though none of them hit the city. About three years ago, a tornado-related windstorm knocked down trees all over the city, including trees across the street from me. At the time, I thought my house was being hit by a tornado, but the actual funnel touched down on the west side of the county.
My sister's house was hit by a tornado.
When I was living in Columbus in 1974, a tornado struck the city and caused moderate damage. It destroyed one of my favorite restaurants. I was 14 years old at the time.
In the late 1980s, while living in Scott County, Indiana, I was relatively close to a tornado that hit Austin.
Back in 1999, there was a very rare summer tornado that struck downtown Salt Lake City. I lived near downtown, but I worked farther away in Sandy, Utah, where the storm only brought hail.

The Infinite Energy Source Made Possible By The Oil And Gas Industry
I've been saying for decades that we live on top of a massive ball of molten iron. About 84% of the Earth's volume is molten. I've argued that there is no shortage of energy, only that some forms of energy are more difficult to access.

Why natural gas produces less CO2
On Mon, Aug 11, 2025 at 10:15 AM Grant wrote:
Basically I agree, but I don't understand your comment on switching from coal to natural gas. Natural gas is very clean, but it still produces CO2, just not all the particulates. I think electricity production in Utah is almost entirely from coal fired plants, and coal reserves are projected to last about 1,000 years.
According to Google AI:
Natural gas produces less CO2 than other fossil fuels because it has a higher proportion of hydrogen relative to carbon. When burned, the hydrogen in natural gas combines with oxygen to form water (H2O), while the carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2). Since natural gas has more hydrogen and less carbon, it produces less CO2 per unit of energy compared to fuels like coal or oil.

Global Warming and Natural Feedbacks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlKxuabwHCg&t=1965s
The temperature data, which shows a very slow warming partly caused by human activity, has led me to believe that we are not in a climate crisis. It has taken 140 years for the average global atmospheric temperature to rise by 1 degree Celsius, and this follows the end of the Little Ice Age and the 1880s—one of the coldest periods in United States history that killed hundreds of Americans. Many more people die from cold than they do from heat.
My view is reinforced by what I see as questionable behavior from Climate Alarmists and the IPCC. Politicians and alarmists have created a moral hazard in which scientists risk losing funding if they do not support the official narrative. The IPCC reportedly refuses to hire anyone who does not already believe in catastrophic man-made warming, and the infamous email leak suggested they were trying to "hide the decline"—concealing that tree ring proxies used for reconstructing past temperatures were unreliable compared with recent data. People have quit the IPCC claiming that it is corrupt. One person claimed that the real goal of the IPCC was to do away with free market capitalism.
By the mid-2010s, it was evident that climate computer model predictions were running far too hot. This led to shifting target temperatures. Around 2010, I watched videos warning that by the year 2100, we were on track for a 3°C increase—considered dangerous—but that limiting the rise to 2°C would be manageable. Only a few years later, the claim shifted: we were supposedly on track for a 2°C rise—now deemed dangerous—and that limiting it to 1.5°C would be manageable. I remain unconvinced that half a degree would make a significant difference.
To me, climate alarmism appears to be driven more by politics than by reliable science. There has been a political shift where fewer people are taking it seriously. Reportedly, climate policy has cost trillions of dollars, so I think that this is the greatest scam in human history.
However, there are simply too many unknown variables. Most of the debate centers on the amount of positive feedback to warming. But since feedbacks can be both positive and negative, and since these processes are not fully understood, it is difficult to make reliable long-term predictions. The current major point of contention is cloud cover. Skeptics argue that increasing cloud cover would produce a net negative feedback—seemingly common sense—while the IPCC claims the opposite.
Although the United States has reduced its CO₂ emissions, largely by switching from coal to natural gas, China has tripled its emissions through massive coal plant construction. While China has paid lip service to fighting climate change, its actions suggest that they don't care.
It is also worth noting that we may run out of most fossil fuels by the year 2100. Current estimates suggest 40–50 years of oil reserves remain. Reportedly, the United States has a very large shale oil reserve that could last the United States 300 years, but most of it is so difficult to mine that it would cost $10 per gallon at the pump.

Coal will last the longest, so we may eventually be forced to burn more of it.

Scientists Discover Potential Cancer Cure in Ancient Tomb
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XfiWQKQ49Oo
I have heard that cancer cells are weaker than normal cells because of their constant replication. This makes them easier to kill, yet we still have not cured cancer. I believe it is likely that a cure could be found in my lifetime.
