Cancer Breakthrough: This Fruit Found to Significantly Fuel Tumor-Fighting Immune Cells

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new study shows that a substance found in pomegranates significantly boosts the immune system to fight cancer—triggering a constant supply of endless rejuvenated T cells.

German scientists studying therapies for colorectal cancer discovered that a metabolite in the red fruit, known as urolithin-A, rejuvenates immune T cells to make them better at fighting tumors. . .

A team in Frankfurt led by Professor Florian Greten is now closer to solving the problem. Their discovery shows that urolithin A recycles and renews mitochondria—the so-called power plants inside T cells—through a process known as mitophagy.

When the pomegranate agent is introduced, old and damaged mitochondria in the T cells are removed and replaced by new, functional ones. This changes the genetic make up of the T cells, which are then more capable of fighting the tumor.

“Our findings are particularly exciting because the focus is not on the tumor cell but on the immune system—the natural defense against cancer,” said Dr. Dominic Denk of the Frankfurt University Hospital and first author of the study.

Have Arthritis or Crohn’s? It Might Be Because Your Ancestors Survived the Plague

/0 Comments/in , /by

Scientists now believe that descending from a survivor of the Black Death, the plague which wiped out one-third of Europe nearly seven hundred years ago, makes individuals more susceptible to certain medical conditions.

There are four particular DNA variants that were associated with surviving the plague as it first swept across the world in the mid-1300s, according to a new paper published in Nature. At least two of those mutations, which are carried by small mammals and the fleas that accompany them, are now linked to autoimmune disorders like Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis.

McMaster University professor Hendrik Poinar told The Washington Post the genes “provided tremendous protection during hundreds of years of plague,” but that they’re now linked to autoimmune conditions, as they contribute to hyperactive immune systems.

Woman Shoots and Skins Dog She Mistook for Wolf

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Montana woman has come under fire after posting photos of a skinned Husky she shot and killed after mistaking it for a wolf.

Amber Rose provoked widespread ire and condemnation after posting graphic photos of the carcass of a Siberian Husky she killed on a bear hunt, which she identified as a ‘wolf pup.’

“So this morning I set out for a solo predator hunt for a fall black bear however I got the opportunity to take another predator wolf,” Rose wrote, “was a great feeling to text my man and say I just smoked a wolf pup. #firstwolf #onelesspredatorMT.”

Huskies are more visually similar to their canid cousins than many other breeds of dog, however, they are noticeably smaller: full grown Huskies are 20-23.5 inches tall typically weigh 35-65 lbs, while a gray wolf stands between 26-32 inches at the shoulder and weighs between 50-110lbs. The size discrepancy could explain why Rose identified it as a juvenile rather than an adult, but Huskies also have a broader snout and various minute differences in coloration and build when compared to wolves.

Costco Exec Reveals Whether Historic Inflation Will Raise Price of Hot Dog and Soda Combo

/0 Comments/in , /by

Costco CFO Richard Galanti revealed last Thursday that its famous hot dog-and-soda combo deal of $1.50 will remain in place despite record-high inflation.

At an earnings call, Galanti said the profit margins the company is seeing in the gas and travel sectors allow Costco to make up for losses at the food court.

“Those things help us be more aggressive in other areas, or as you mentioned, hold the price on the hot dog and the soda … forever,” Galanti told an analyst from Truist Securities.

Galanti said Costco was fortunate in that it did not struggle like other businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The enormity of the improvement in the bottom line … we’re better than we were two years ago,” he said. (Read more from “Costco Exec Reveals Whether Historic Inflation Will Raise Price of Hot Dog and Soda Combo” HERE)

Tastes Like Chicken? Fake Meat Exec Bites Man’s Nose

/0 Comments/in , /by

An executive at a fake meat company was arrested this weekend for biting the flesh off another man’s nose during a fit of rage, the latest indication that veganism could contribute to mental decline.

Beyond Meat COO Doug Ramsey was charged on Saturday with terroristic threatening and third-degree battery following a road rage incident at the University of Arkansas football stadium. Ramsey attacked a Subaru driver whose vehicle brushed Ramsey’s Ford Bronco in a parking garage after the Arkansas Razorbacks game. Local news outlets report Ramsey punched through the Subaru’s rear window and repeatedly hit the Subaru driver before “ripping the flesh on the tip of the nose” with his own teeth.

The Subaru driver claimed Ramsey threatened to kill him after noshing on his schnoz. Police arrested Ramsey a little before 10:30 p.m., and he was held in Washington County jail on a $10,000 bond. It is unclear whether the driver of the Subaru, owned in the United States predominantly by hippies, was a grass-fed vegetarian. . .

The “Beyond Burger” manufacturer was an odd landing place for the nugget-slinging, Bronco-owning Ramsey, who fits the profile of a typical meat-eater. A Free Beacon analysis was unable to determine whether Ramsey’s attack was the result of a psychotic break brought on by protein deprivation, the chemicals in vegan meat, or prolonged exposure to progressives.

Stunning Discovery: Developer Says He’s Broken Into “Some ‘Backdoor’ in Mathematics Itself” That Proves That the Universe Has a ‘Creator’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .[Voxengo’s Aleksey] Vaneev posits that: “‘intelligent impulses’ or even ‘human mind’ itself (because a musician can understand these impulses) existed long before the ‘Big Bang’ happened. This discovery is probably both the greatest discovery in the history of mankind, and the worst discovery (for many) as it poses very unnerving questions that touch religious grounds.”

The Voxengo developer sums up his findings as follows: “These results of 1-bit PRVHASH say the following: if abstract mathematics contains not just a system of rules for manipulating numbers, but also a freely-defined fixed information that is also ‘readable’ by a person, then mathematics does not just ‘exist’, but ‘it was formed’, because mathematics does not evolve (beside human discovery of new rules and patterns). And since physics cannot be formulated without such mathematics, and physical processes clearly obey these mathematical rules, it means that a Creator/Higher Intelligence/God exists in relation to the Universe. For the author personally, everything is proven here.”

Vaneev says that he wanted to “share my astonishment and satisfaction with the results of this work that took much more of my time than I had wished for,” but that you don’t need to concern yourself too much with his findings if you don’t want to.

Electric Car Castrates Man on Biden’s Watch

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The American people got a terrifying glimpse into the tech-driven childless dystopia President Joe Biden and his liberal allies are striving to achieve after a urologist in Texas last week performed what is believed to be the world’s first vasectomy powered by an electric vehicle.

Dr. Christopher Yang congratulated himself on Twitter for using his $70,000 Rivian electric truck to power the castration-esque procedure after his clinic in Austin (where else?) suffered a power outage. “Power in clinic went out, patient didn’t want to reschedule cause he already had time off,” Yang wrote. “Procedure went great!”

This is the future liberals want. Biden is already plotting a “nationwide shift away from oil” in an effort to combat so-called climate change. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg wants to force Americans to buy electric “cars” that cost more than the median household income in the United States.

Teacher Uncovers Mystery Fossil Older Than Dinosaurs

/0 Comments/in , /by

A teacher made a rare find Monday when she uncovered a mystery fossil that appears to be older than the first dinosaur to walk the planet.

Lisa Cormier, a teacher on Canada’s Prince Edward Island, was out for a walk in Cape Egmont when she saw something partially buried in the ground, according to a report.

“I saw something that I thought was a root,” Cormier said.

“And when I looked closer at it, I realized that there were ribs. And then I saw the spine and the skull.” . . .

Geologist and paleontologist John Calder believes that Cormier’s find is around 300 million years old, 100 million years before the dinosaurs ruled the world, according to the report. (Read more from “Teacher Uncovers Mystery Fossil Older Than Dinosaurs” HERE)

Over 75% Of American Adults Are Failing at Exercise

/0 Comments/in , /by

Only one-quarter of American adults are achieving the minimum amount of exercise suggested for a healthy life, according to new statistics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Data collected in 2020 and published by the National Center for Health Statistics on Tuesday shows only 24.2% of adults aged 18 and over met the recommended amount of both aerobic and muscle strengthening activities, for a combined average of 150 minutes per week.

The remaining three-quarters of the population otherwise fell short — some by not engaging at all. More than one in five (22.7%) met only the suggested guidelines for aerobic activity, while a few (6.8%) focused mostly on strengthening muscle.

That leaves a staggering 46.3% — nearly half of US adults — who failed to meet the minimum in either category.

Research shows health benefits kick in with at least 150 minutes a week of moderately intense aerobic activity, and that both aerobic and muscle strengthening activities are beneficial to a healthy lifestyle, according to health officials.

Additional Exercise Potentially Linked to Longer Lifespans and Lower Death Rates, Study Shows

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A new 12-page research article published in the American Heart Association’s Circulation Journal found that people who got extra exercise had a lower mortality rate compared to those who did not.

The study, which was conducted by researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, was published on Monday, July 25.

Over a 30-year period from 1988 to 2018, a total of 116,221 adults were monitored and submitted exercise reports that detailed their “leisure-time physical activity.”

Mortality reduction was observed in study participants who got 150 to 300 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week and 300 to 600 minutes of moderate physical activity.

Vigorous exercisers who participated in activities like jogging, running, climbing stairs, swimming, bicycling, aerobics, playing sports and working outdoors for 150 to 299 minutes, had a lower mortality rate between 21% and 23% for all causes of death.
