Police: Burglar Used Stolen Credit Card to Order Pizza and Have It Delivered to His Home

/1 Comment/in , /by

Missouri police said that a burglar used a stolen credit card just days after a burglary to order pizza and have it delivered to his apartment.

The details of the arrest of 32-year-old Jacob C. Scholtes were released in a probable cause statement from the St. Louis County Police Department.

Susie Wanner told KTVI-TV that her family’s home was burglarized on December 25 and her Christmas gifts were stolen from under their Christmas tree in addition to the credit cards.

“I subscribed him to a cigar of the month club, so it was a box of cigars, some Cardinals whiskey glasses, and a hot sauce-making kit,” Wanner laughed. “So, luckily, it was nothing too expensive.”

Police said that Scholtes ordered the pizza on Dec. 27, only two days later. (Read more from “Police: Burglar Used Stolen Credit Card to Order Pizza and Have It Delivered to His Home” HERE)

Report: This Everyday Food May Help Prevent Diabetes

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suggested that incorporating yogurt into one’s diet could potentially help in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, according to recent announcements.

In March, the FDA declared its non-objection to a claim from Danone North America, the producer of various popular yogurt brands, stating that regular consumption of yogurt might lower the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. This decision implies that the FDA is willing to permit the claim on yogurt food labels, provided it is accurately worded and complies with specified criteria.

“While the evidence supporting a relationship between yogurt intake and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes is somewhat limited, it is credible enough to merit consideration,” the FDA stated in its announcement.

The health claim approved by the FDA falls under the category of a “qualified claim,” indicating that while the evidence is not conclusive, it suggests potential health benefits. According to Sherry Coleman Collins, a dietitian specializing in food allergies from the Atlanta metropolitan area, regular consumption, defined as at least 2 cups (3 servings) per week of yogurt, is necessary to potentially benefit from this claim.

Collins emphasized the overall health-promoting properties of yogurt, particularly when part of a diet rich in plant-based foods, proteins, and fermented dairy. She highlighted the significance of live, active cultures in yogurt, which contribute to a healthy gut microbiome and are associated with reduced disease risk, including type 2 diabetes.

When selecting yogurt, Collins recommended opting for varieties low in added sugars. She praised plain Greek yogurt for its high protein and calcium content, suggesting that its sweetness can be adjusted by adding honey or fruit according to personal preference.

Snack Recall: Products Pulled Due to Potentially Fatal Contamination

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Minnesota-based Hormel Foods Sales LLC has issued a recall for two Planters products produced at one of its facilities and distributed to select states in the southeast U.S. due to concerns over potential listeria contamination. The affected products, Honey Roasted Peanuts and Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts, were distributed to Publix and Dollar Tree warehouses across Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

The discovery of listeria monocytogenes in the packaged contents prompted the voluntary recall. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause severe infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Symptoms of listeria infection may include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. In pregnant women, listeria infections can lead to miscarriages or stillbirths.

The recall specifically targets 4-ounce packages of Planters Honey Roasted Peanuts and 8.75-ounce cans of Planters Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts. Consumers are advised to check the “Best if Used By Date” and UPC code on the packaging to identify the affected products. The UPC code for Honey Roasted Peanuts is 2900002097 with a best-by date of April 11, 2025, while Deluxe Lightly Salted Mixed Nuts bear the UPC code 2900001621 and a best-by date of April 5, 2026.

Hormel assures consumers that these are the only products affected by the recall and that no illnesses have been reported thus far.

Retailers have been notified, and consumers in possession of the recalled products are urged not to consume them. Instead, they should either discard the items or return them to the store of purchase for a replacement or full refund.

‘Curse’ Behind King Tut’s Tomb Mysterious Deaths Finally Solved, Experts Claim

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The unsettling curse of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in Egypt has bewildered archaeologists since it’s been feared to be linked to the mysterious deaths of multiple of the excavators who discovered it in 1922.

However, a scientist now claims to have solved the mysteries of the infamous “Pharaoh’s Curse” more than 100 years later.

Toxic levels of radiation emanating from uranium and poisonous waste are believed to have lingered inside the tomb since it was sealed over 3,000 years ago, Ross Fellowes wrote last month in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE).

The radiation level inside Tutankhamun’s tomb is so high that anyone who comes in contact with it could very likely develop a fatal dose of radiation sickness and cancer.

“Both contemporary and ancient Egypt populations are characterized by unusually high incidences of hematopoietic cancers, of bone/blood/lymph, for which a primary known cause is radiation exposure,” Fellowes wrote in his study.

Man Launches Petition to Reclaim 34-Year-Old Alligator Seized by Authorities

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tony Cavallaro, a 64-year-old man from an undisclosed location, is fighting to reunite with his longtime companion, Albert, a 12-foot, 750-pound alligator, after authorities seized the reptile. Cavallaro, who has owned Albert for 34 years, describes the alligator as his “emotional support animal” and has launched a petition to bring him back home.

The ordeal began when law enforcement officials, reportedly acting on behalf of the Department of Environmental Conservation, confiscated Albert from Cavallaro’s care. The alligator was sedated and had its mouth taped before being taken to an unknown location by the state agency.

According to NPR, the Department of Environmental Conservation cited Cavallaro’s expired license to keep Albert, which reportedly expired in 2021. Additionally, the agency alleges that Cavallaro endangered others by allowing them to interact with Albert, including petting and swimming with the reptile in its pool.

Despite the agency’s claims, Cavallaro vehemently denies that Albert poses any threat to others. He has hired a lawyer and is determined to bring his beloved alligator back home.

In a Facebook post, Cavallaro expressed the anguish he feels over the separation from Albert, stating, “I can’t express how much this is destroying my life. I miss him so much… I’m mentally and physically exhausted.”

Support for Cavallaro and Albert has been pouring in from friends and strangers alike. A petition on change.org calling for Albert’s return has garnered over 120,000 signatures. Some supporters have even created “Free Albert” T-shirts and buttons to raise awareness of the situation.

/1 Comment/in , /by

Archaeologists working in Panama uncovered a 1,200-year-old gold-laden tomb in 2024 that is believed to belong to a pre-Hispanic member of royalty.

The tomb was found in the El Caño archaeological park in the Coclé province, Panama, and is believed to be the burial grounds of of an “important Coclé lord,” according to a press release from Panama’s Ministry of Culture. It’s believed the individual lived in the late 750s to the early 800s A.D., and was extremely wealthy and well-to-do given the absolute hoard of goodies he was buried with.

A majority of the items found with this fancy man are ceramics, but there was also a lot of jewelry and gold. “2 belts of spherical gold beads, 4 bracelets, 2 earrings in the shape of human figures (male and female), [and] an earring in the shape of a double crocodile” are among the discoveries, the press release stated. Another five earrings made from sperm whale teeth with gold covers were uncovered, along with a set of gold plates, bells, bracelets and bone flutes are just some of the additional historical and cultural artifacts from the site.

Doctor Facing Certain Death From Brain Cancer Tries Friend’s Experimental Treatment – Which Shows Promise

/29 Comments/in , /by

A leading skin cancer doctor is hopeful that an experimental treatment will bring a miracle and cure his nearly uncurable brain cancer.

Richard Scolyer is a professor at Sydney University in Australia and a surgical pathologist. Professor Scolyer is also suffering from one of the deadliest forms of cancer – a glioblastoma. . .

Scolyer – a 57-year-old married father with three children – was diagnosed with brain cancer last June.

For a treatment strategy, Scolyer turned to Georgina Long – his friend and co-director of the Melanoma Institute Australia. . .

Professor Scolyer was the first in the world to delay brain surgery to remove the tumor and start with pre-surgery combination immunotherapy.

“Combination immunotherapy counters several immunosuppressive elements in the tumor microenvironment and activates multiple steps of the cancer-immunity cycle,” according to the National Library of Medicine.
