In 2015, researchers reconstructed a 1,000-year-old eye remedy from Bald’s Leechbook using garlic, onion or leek, wine, cow bile and brass, then left it for the prescribed nine days. It destroyed more than 99.99 percent of S. aureus in laboratory biofilms and reduced MRSA by about 90 percent in infected mouse-wound tissue during a four-hour test—while vancomycin produced no significant reduction under the same conditions.

11+ hour, 9+ min ago   (1245+ words) The 2015 study found four-to-five-log killing in synthetic-wound biofilms and a tenfold MRSA reduction in excised mouse tissue, but it was not a treatment trial.

After an FDA amicus brief counted allulose as sugar, the 7th Circuit revived a Chobani Zero Sugar suit over 4 grams of allulose per serving and helped trigger a wave of allulose “zero sugar” class actions

A 2024 AARP survey of 1,010 adults aged 50-plus found that 44% believed they had grown happier over time—yet only 22% thought most people do, a striking gap between how ageing feels from the inside and how we imagine it happens to everyone else.
