A friend's in-law just bought some magnetic underpants. He saw on Facebook that the product would help with his prostate problems, so he bought them on Temu.

Sustainable medical electronics can reduce environmental impact by up to 65%
While electronic devices have become an integral part of everyday life, the consumption of critical raw materials and energy demand associated with their production continue to rise. According to the European Commission's European Green Deal, Europe aims to become climate-neutral while maintaining a competitive economy by 2050, which calls for new approaches that consider sustainability not only at the end of a product's life cycle but also during the development phase.

Residual emissions may perpetuate community-scale inequalities in US air pollution - Nature Climate Change
The scale of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) could determine the extent of co-emitted air pollutants in net-zero scenarios and potential health impacts. By linking a series of models and datasets, researchers find that low-CDR pathways lead to a more equitable distribution of health benefits across the USA.

One sugary drink a day linked to more than double the risk of stomach cancer
People who drank at least one sugar-sweetened beverage a day had roughly 2.45 times the risk of gastric cancer compared with those who rarely consumed them, according to a decades-long study of more than 112,000 U.S. adults. Artificially sweetened drinks showed no similar association, though researchers stress that the findings do not prove sugary beverages cause cancer.

A sweeping review of more than 350 studies suggests that the protein boom may be overselling what many people actually need. Eating less protein appears to improve metabolism, reduce inflammation and cellular damage, and activate pathways linked to healthier aging and longer life.

A nurse woke me up.
The problem is that I was home, she meant to go to the neighbor's home, got the number wrong and somehow managed to open my flimsy door.
The thing is, in a couple of hours, I have an appointment at the hospital to get a dropper hooked to my arm. So my first, half-asleep thought when I saw her, was: Glad I don't need to fight a thief, but I must be sooo very fucked if they send nurses here without even telling me.
