Anything Goes

out of curiosity I googled mouth bacteria and colon cancer

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles...0al.%2C%202019).

That's a long read... carbs, sucrose, diet, can lead to colon cancer by overpopulating the mouth with bacteria... brush and gargle

Maybe the reason red meat eaters get more colon cancer is also poor dental hygiene

Another promising research, conducted by Yang et al., showed that oral pathogens, especially Prevotella intermedia and Treponema denticola, were positively associated to increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (Yang et al., 2019).

Cicada outbreak this year not seen in over 200 years, two batches on 13 and 17 years cycles are due to emerge this spring

a comet on a ~70 year orbit will reach its closest point to the Sun on the 21-22 so it should be visible during the eclipse on the 8th.

Is that a typo. Surely it won't happen again for another 221 years, in 2245, not in 13 years, in 2037?

Don't know, Mongo pawn in game of life

I saw that and got lost on what they meant, something about 7 branches of the cicada family being active so maybe the 17 year cycle isn't included at that family reunion

Sir Alec Guiness said he warned James Dean a week before his death not to get in the Porsche. Guiness said he saw the car and felt a bad vibe, bad enough to tell Dean.
The wreck was parted out and used by 2 other race car drivers, both wrecked in the same race, one hit a tree and died and the other flipped and was severely injured.

They found that by age 65, at least 95% of people with two copies of APOE4 - known as homozygotes - had abnormal levels of an Alzheimer's-related protein called beta amyloid in their spinal fluid, and 75% had positive brain scans for amyloid.

Nearly all APOE4 homozygotes in the study had higher levels of amyloid at age 65 than people who did not carry the risk variant.

The findings suggest APOE4 homozygotes meet the three main criteria for being a genetic disease: nearly everyone with these two variants have Alzheimer's biology; they develop symptoms at about the same rate; and clinical and biological changes occur in a predictable sequence, the researchers said.

It's pretty wild how much genetics can influence Alzheimer's risk I mean I'm a little scared right now
