Something Deep Within the Earth is Altering Our Planet’s Gravity—and Satellite Data May Hold Clues to the Mystery

Processes occurring deep within the Earth could be responsible for our planet’s changing gravitational field, according to new research that scoured orbital data for clues to the mystery. The shift occurred nearly two decades ago, between 2006 and 2008, but went unnoticed at the time. Only through a recent reexamination of the data were scientists able to detect gravitational variations …

Common Sweetener May Raise Stroke Risk by Altering Brain Cells

Summary: A common sugar substitute, erythritol, widely used in “sugar-free” and low-carb products, may increase stroke risk by damaging brain blood vessel cells. A new study found that erythritol exposure reduced nitric oxide, increased vessel constrictors, impaired clot-busting abilities, and boosted free radical production in these cells. These changes create a higher risk environment for clotting and reduced blood flow …
