Ginger has a reputation for stimulating the immune system. New results now support this thesis. In laboratory tests, small amounts of a pungent ginger constituent put white blood cells on heightened alert. Whether as a medicinal plant or foodstuff, ginger is also becoming increasingly popular. However, the question arises as to whether normal consumption levels are sufficient to achieve health effects. As the study shows, significant amounts of pungent ginger compounds enter the blood about 30 to 60 minutes after consuming one liter of ginger tea. By far the highest levels were achieved by [6]-gingerol, with plasma concentrations of approximately...

We’re again debunking an old claim about the Obamas — this time, linked to another false claim about the late comedian Joan Rivers. In footage from 2014, Rivers claimed that former President Barack Obama is gay and former first lady Michelle Obama is transgender. An Instagram user sharing that video said Rivers was killed for revealing "the truth." The user posted the video Jan. 11, which shows Rivers being interviewed on the street. In the clip, Rivers was asked about having officiated a gay wedding the day before. The off-camera person interviewing Rivers then asked, "Do you think that the...

“I can’t believe how boring the guys are in this town,” a San Francisco friend of mine messaged me after seeing my Tinder Live show at Cobb’s Comedy Club as part of SF Sketchfest. I created my show Tinder Live with Lane Moore nearly 10 years ago now because the first time I used dating apps I was struck by how many absolutely wild profiles I’d seen, particularly from men. I’ve toured the world and written a book about how to be alone (if you want to or if you don’t), as well as one coming out in April about...

While people riding e-bikes were more likely to suffer internal injuries and be hospitalized compared to the other riders, powered scooter users had higher...

Palmer has a theory as to why long COVID—also known as post-acute sequelae of COVID, or PASC—is happening: viral reservoirs that linger in the body. "We found a very pronounced high frequency of cytotoxic CD8 T cells in the individuals with PASC," he adds. "These responses were up to 100 times higher in the PASC group than in the individuals who didn't have long-term, persistent symptoms." Palmer was...

His wife, Victoria Nuland, led the 2014 putsch in Ukraine which installed a neoliberal, Western-oriented government. He openly admits that Russia was provoked into invading Ukraine.
