Sugar Alcohols Ruined My Health

I didn't notice sugar-alcohols in very many products.  I have occasionally bought no-sugar-added mini-pies that contain sugar-alcohols.  They give me gas, but as long as I eat them in moderation, I am fine.  Too much can have a laxative effect.

Why Doritos are awful now

Antares Nuclear Mark-0 Microreactor Achieves Criticality at Idaho National Lab


The initiative is intended to help jump-start the US nuclear sector, which largely stagnated after the 1970s due to shifting public opinion, political pressure, and increasingly stringent regulations that prioritized safety above all else. The result was an approval process so complex and costly that it was almost impossible to navigate without going bankrupt. Launched in 2025, the Reactor Pilot Program seeks to fast-track a new generation of reactors by using the DOE's independent safety authorization and oversight process at federal laboratory sites rather than the standard Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) commercial licensing pathway for early-stage technology validation.

I still believe that Quantum Computing is not very practical.  It reportedly has limited use cases and it is very difficult and expensive to implement.

However, I suppose that it is possible that if they keep working at it, the technology could eventually be very powerful, but I think that it is going to be a long wait.
