Scientists Discover Lead and Arsenic in Feminine Hygiene Tampons
In total, they analyzed 60 samples representing 30 unique tampons. All 16 studied metals were present in all samples.

Scientists Defeat HIV
Scientists have managed to develop a drug that provides 100% protection against the virus. The results of the drug Lenacapavir were so convincing that the commission halted trials to make the injections available to those in need faster. Of the 2136 women who received the first injections, not a single one was infected. The downside is that for 100% protection, two injections per year are needed, each costing $21,125. But scientists hope to solve the issue of price as well.

Anti-Aging Nutrition
The rules for the anti-aging menu are quite simple: daily diet should include at least 400 grams of fruits and vegetables; the basis of the diet should be plant-based food: legumes, grains, vegetables; dairy products should be consumed daily; fats should preferably be plant-based; the amount of sweets and red meat should be minimized. These products should not be consumed daily. Since one of the problems of aging is sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), daily consumption of protein sources (fish, eggs, meat) is necessary. Anti-aging recipes will include a large amount of vegetables and fruits. Preference should be given to fresh greens rather than heat-treated or canned ones. The most common cooking methods in the anti-aging menu are boiling, baking, and steaming. Caution should be exercised when grinding food in a blender to a uniform consistency. Despite some advantages, this processing increases the absorption of sugars.
