STUDY: Covid face masks contain dangerous levels of titanium dioxide that are easily inhaled
New research published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports reveals that Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “face masks” are loaded with toxic levels of titanium dioxide (TiO2) that “systematically [exceed] the acceptable exposure level” of what is considered “safe.” A suspected human carcinogen, TiO2, when inhaled as fiber-grade nanoparticles, is not good for human health. And yet […]

“Superionic” minerals flow through Earth’s deep mantle, according to study
A recent study published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that Earth’s deep mantle likely harbors hydrous minerals that are in an extreme phase of water known as “superionic ice.” Also called “superionic water,” superionic ice is black, hot and several times heavier than normal ice. This strange phase has both solid and liquid properties at the same time – the hydrogen […]

Analysis of mutated fern spores sheds light on link between mercury and mass extinction
A study published in the journal Science Advances found that increased mercury levels in the environment may have contributed to the mass extinction more than 200 million years ago. An international team of researchers analyzed mutated fern spores from core samples dating to that period and found a strong link between mercury and the mass extinction event. “By looking […]

Researchers discover a plant that can counteract arsenic toxicity
Researchers have found that Lantana grisebachii, a flowering plant native to South America, can counteract arsenic toxicity. In their report, which was published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements, a team of researchers from Brazil and Argentina investigated whether L. grisebachii can protect against arsenic toxicity using an arsenicosis rat model. Arsenic: a dangerously ubiquitous chemical Arsenicosis, or arsenic poisoning, […]

Lantana grisebachii found to prevent bioaccumulation of arsenic in rat splenocytes
In a study, researchers found that Lantana grisebachii, a plant native to South America, can counteract arsenic toxicity in vivo. Their findings were published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements. Arsenic is widely considered an immunotoxic agent; it is present in contaminated waters and consumed by humans. Phytotherapy can potentially counteract the adverse effects of arsenic consumption. […]

Animal study reveals cadmium exposure and Alzheimer’s risk gene may be linked to cognitive impairment
Researchers at the University of Washington found that cadmium exposure, combined with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, might accelerate cognitive decline. The researchers arrived at this finding after exposing mice with an Alzheimer’s risk gene to cadmium. They detailed their findings in a paper published in the journal Toxicological Sciences. The effects of cadmium plus an Alzheimer’s risk gene The […]

Lifetime exposure to lead linked to greater dementia risk
A study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease suggests that lead might play a role in the development of dementia. Researchers from the University of Toronto (U of T) reported this after finding a link between lifetime lead exposure and greater dementia risk. In particular, they found that dementia cases decreased as the use of lead declined over […]
