What happens if you completely abandon the flour?
Recently, many have been talking about the dangers of bread and other flour products. However, this does not mean that you need to completely abandon baking. Whole grain and black bread made from rye, oatmeal or bran, on the contrary, are very useful. But white really does not have the best effect on the body. Among other things, this is due to the fact that in the last century the quality of flour from which bread is baked has significantly decreased. Here is what will happen to your body if you decide to eliminate white bread from your diet: - you will lose weight - Skin rashes disappear - Improve digestion - There will be energy - Get rid of addiction - Prolong youth.

A high pillow is unhealthy.
If the pillow is high, then the head will rise above the level of the back, which has an adverse effect on the vessels and worsens the outflow of blood from the brain. This is especially evident in the morning: stiffness and pain in the neck are the first alarm signal to think about the sleeping position and the pillow. Too high a pillow is as harmful as too low.

YES! Even a couple of times a week would be helpful. So working people, do not despair! Set aside 30 minutes on the weekend to keep yourself young.

Paracetamol and ibuprofen could be made from pine.
British scientists have synthesized paracetamol and ibuprofen from a pine component that is a waste product of the paper industry. The discovery will help make the production of drugs more environmentally friendly and cheaper. Traditionally, these two most popular painkillers in the world have been synthesized from chemical precursors found in crude oil. This is a problem for pharmacology: now the world is trying to abandon the production of hydrocarbons, moreover, their prices are unstable. New technology solves it.

There was a packaging warning about dangerous bacteria in products.
Canadian scientists have created a packaging tray that reports the presence of salmonella, E. coli, listeria and other dangerous bacteria in raw meat and other products. The tray has sloping sides. Thanks to them, the juice from the food flows to the sensor at the bottom of the package. Its indicators can be read using a special mobile application. So buyers will be convinced of the safety of products. Such technology will replace expensive and time-consuming food tests in laboratories, and will also reduce the number of poisonings. Every year, up to 600 million people are affected by infections due to tainted food.

AI has found new substances that allow you to fight aging.
The researchers trained the model on known examples of substances. As a result, she learned to distinguish between them and was able to predict what else could be used as senolytics. Artificial intelligence checked the initial 4340 molecules and identified the 21 most suitable ones. To do the same work manually would require a huge amount of time and money just to buy connections. The scientists then tested these drug candidates on two types of cells: healthy and aging. The results showed that the three compounds were able to destroy aging cells while maintaining healthy ones.

Harmful ingredient in the cream.
If you care about the health and beauty of your skin, I advise you to check the composition of your creams for the presence of this ingredient: Alcohol Denat. A high concentration of this component in the cream is unacceptable if the brand positions itself as a manufacturer of hypoallergenic products. Even 3-7% alcohol can cause dry skin. Pay attention to the alcohol content with denatured alcohol in the composition if you have sensitive skin.

Scientists have found thousands of times more germs on pillowcases than on a toilet seat.
According to surveys, the average person changes pillowcases once every three weeks, while dermatologists recommend doing this at least twice a week. Otherwise, sleep can cause allergies, skin infections, and skin inflammation. One type of bacteria found on pillowcases is Staphylococcus aureus.

Japanese researchers have learned to kill cancer cells with a single injection.
Japanese researchers have developed a new technique that could potentially treat multiple types of cancer with a single injection of the drug. It also causes fewer side effects. Scientists injected mice with a substance to emit small amounts of alpha radiation, which kills cancer cells but spares healthy tissue. The survival rate of experimental animals reached 100%. Doctors hope that this method can be used to treat cancer at a very early stage, even if it is not known exactly where the tumor is located. A variant of this technique is already being tested as a way to diagnose at the cellular level.

Scientists have found that gas stoves are more harmful than passive smoking.
According to the work of American researchers, the use of a gas stove can increase the concentration of benzene in the room. This figure is higher than with passive smoking, or even higher than the level observed near oil and gas facilities. Low temperature stoves and gas ovens also emit significant amounts of benzene. However, even low doses of benzene in the air increase the risk of developing various types of cancer, including lymphomas and leukemia.

In the US, a neural network has been created to detect caries in dental images.
It will simplify the work of dentists and will become the basis of mobile applications for initial self-diagnosis. She was trained on photographs of the upper and lower jaws of several hundred patients. The algorithm identified the destructive process with an accuracy of 79.5%. He managed to find more than 83% of the affected teeth and correctly determine the boundaries of caries in almost 80% of the enamel areas.
