The Ziploc lawsuit (also searched as the Ziplock lawsuit) claimed the bags shed microplastics when microwaved or frozen. It ended four months later with no ruling and no settlement. Here is what the complaint cited, what those studies tested, and what the research says about plastic in the body.

Hot mineral springs have been used for pain and skin for thousands of years. Here is what the randomized trials and Cochrane reviews found, where the minerals matter and where the heat does the work, and the two infection risks every bather should know.

Roasted butternut squash blended with homemade bone broth, coconut milk, coconut aminos, fish sauce, ginger and garlic. Every ingredient is AIP compliant, and the soup pairs with beef or chicken for a warming winter dinner.

Parsnips, carrots, turnips, sweet potato and butternut squash roasted in tallow with rosemary, garlic and onion, finished with fresh parsley. Every ingredient is on the AIP elimination list, and it works as a side, a breakfast base, or a Thanksgiving dish everyone at the table can eat.

PDRN serum is fragmented DNA, usually from salmon sperm, with no long-term safety data for cosmetic use. This article starts with the risks and unknowns, then covers how PDRN is made, what the process can leave behind, what the studies show, and 12 questions to ask before a treatment.

In 1983, doctors in Cambridge laid premature babies on lambswool instead of cotton and the babies grew 22 percent faster. What that trial found, what hospital sheepskin trials added, what the polyester fertility experiments and textile chemical testing show, and how to tell a medical grade sheepskin from a regular one.

Glycine is the amino acid that makes up a third of collagen and gelatin. Here is what the human trials measured for sleep, blood sugar and glutathione, which foods contain the most, the doses researchers used, and what the safety literature records.

What the research supports for eating with Hashimoto's thyroiditis: the nutrients that matter, the foods to limit, why medication timing beats most food rules, and a side-by-side look at gluten-free, the autoimmune protocol, and the bioenergetic approach.

A plain guide to the autoimmune protocol diet: the full elimination food list, what you can eat, how reintroduction works stage by stage, what the Hashimoto's and IBD pilot studies found, and where AIP disagrees with the bioenergetic view.

Fifteen houseplants from the NASA chamber studies, scored with icons for light, water, and ease of care, plus which chemicals each was tested against and which ones are safe around cats and dogs. Includes what the 2020 Drexel review found about how much a potted plant can do in a real room.

The foods highest in collagen are the parts most people throw away: skin, tendons, cartilage, bone, and the gelatin that cooks out of them. Here is which foods carry the most, how bone broth stacks up against powders, what Ray Peat argued about balancing muscle meat with gelatin, and what the skin, tendon, and muscle trials measured.

Levothyroxine is T4 only and depends on the body converting it to T3. Armour Thyroid supplies both at a fixed four-to-one ratio. In blinded trials the average patient did the same on either, while the patients who still felt hypothyroid on levothyroxine did better with T3. Here is what is in each tablet, the three questions that decide the comparison, and how Dr. Broda Barnes and Ray Peat PhD approached it.

Are cold plunges good for women? Occasionally, in warm weather, when you feel like it, they are fine. As a daily health practice, I do not recommend them. The research on women shows a stress response that never fades, a thyroid shift after each exposure, and no recovery benefit in the one trial done in women. Here is what the studies say, what Ray Peat and the older thyroid writers said about cold, and why I keep cold plunges occasional.

My weekly chicken bone broth: one whole chicken, garlic, ginger, and a savory base of fish sauce and coconut aminos plus one ingredient that takes the collagen + gelatin to the next level. Done in four hours in the Instant Pot or a slow simmer on the stove.

Dandruff is tied to a yeast that eats scalp oil, not sugar. Here are the herbal and kitchen remedies that have been studied, what each trial found, and how to use them.
