Story at-a-glance The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows U.S. food companies to use nearly 1,000 chemicals banned in Europe, many of which are linked to DNA damage, hormone disruption, or cancer Thanks to a legal loophole called “Generally Recognized as Safe” or GRAS, manufacturers are allowed to self-declare additives as safe without FDA approval, review, or even disclosure on the label Hidden additives are often disguised as “natural flavors” or “spices,” masking substances you'd never knowingly eat but are consuming regularly Ultraprocessed foods make up 73% of the U.S. food supply, designed with chemicals that increase cravings, damage gut health, and disrupt brain signaling Even after hospitalizations and deaths linked to hidden ingredients, the FDA rarely takes meaningful action — leaving your health in the hands of corporations

Story at-a-glance A high-fat diet makes it easier for breast cancer to spread by activating clotting cells, increasing inflammation and altering blood vessels in ways that help tumors grow Mice on high-fat diets had nearly five times more cancer cells in their lungs, even when their tumors were the same size as leaner mice A high-fat diet increased fibronectin, which acts as "molecular glue" helping cancer cells attach to blood vessels, while obesity increases inflammatory compounds that worsen this buildup Switching to a normal-fat diet for just seven days significantly reduced clotting activity, fibronectin buildup and the number of cancer cells lodging in the lungs Eliminating vegetable oils and reducing total fat intake to 30% to 40% of daily calories lowers inflammation and reduces your risk of cancer spread

Story at-a-glance Low vitamin C levels are strongly linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk in people with Type 2 diabetes People who consume fewer than one serving of fruit or vegetables daily had significantly lower vitamin C levels than those eating two or more servings daily Vitamin C protects arteries by neutralizing free radicals, preserving nitric oxide for vessel flexibility and supporting collagen synthesis for arterial strength Studies show vitamin C supplementation of 1,000 mg daily reduces triglycerides, improves blood flow and decreases inflammation markers in people with metabolic disorders Whole fruits rich in vitamin C, like guava, oranges and amla (Indian gooseberry), provide heart protection by optimizing vessel function and preventing dangerous blood clots

The tools of thinking that fueled the Growth Mindset and fast decisions behind the success of Jeff Bezos. Bezos frames business as a series of silent promises: to customers, to colleagues, to the future. Each promise is a primitive—simple, sturdy, waiting to be linked. When those links form, independence evolves into interdependence, and a whisper becomes a flywheel. In this conversation, we explore how “Day One” thinking keeps the path clear, how a “regret-minimization lens” invites bold choices, and why “single-threaded leadership” protects the soul of a project. Name your primitives—identify the small assets that can connect to others. Map the flywheel—draw how each promise fuels the next. Practice long-horizon thinking—act today as if seven years depend on it.

This episode originally aired on February 8, 2021: The power of storytelling gives us a way to cope with the uncertainty of our climate future. This week on Terra Informa we're exploring those stories about the future worlds that are not so different from our own. While you may be familiar with science fiction, genres like speculative fiction, climate fiction, or cli-fi, Afro-futurism, and Indigenous futurism are reimagining oppressive realities and re-envisioning our climate future. In this discussion episode, Terra Informers Hannah Cunningham and Elizabeth Dowdell are joined by special guest and Terra Informa alum, Chris Chang-Yen Phillips to share why they find themselves reaching for these books, and what these genres mean to them. A reading list of the books mentioned in this episode plus some of our other favourites can be found here.Some of our favourite voices sharing visions of Indigenous futures include Cree poet and author Billy-Ray Belcourt, Cree author Larry Loyie, and Chelsea Vowel, Metis writer and host of a Terra Informa team podcast favourite, Métis in Space.In this episode, we highlight the recent lifetime achievement of speculative fiction author Nalo Hopkinson, who is the first Black woman to be honoured with the Damon Knight Grand Master Award by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). Hopkinson is the author of the acclaimed 1998 work Brown Girl in the Ring.You'll also hear about a climate fiction short story contest launched by Grist Magazine, Imagine 2200: Climate fiction for future ancestors.

Hebrews 11: (NKJV)1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that Heis, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.Romans 14:23 (NKJV)But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever isnot from faith is sin.Luke 17:3-6TPT (The Passion Translation):So be careful how you live. If a fellow believer sins against you, you must first privately confrontthat person about his fault, and if there is repentance, forgive him. No matter how many times inone day your brother sins against you and says, 'I'm sorry; I'm changing my ways,' you need toforgive him each and every time." When the apostles heard this, they said to Jesus, "Lord, youmust increase our faith!" Jesus responded, "If you have even the smallest portion of authenticfaith, it would be powerful enough to say to this large tree, 'My word will pull you up by the rootsand throw you into the sea,' and it will respond to your voice!AMP (Amplified Bible):"Pay attention to yourselves! ...”Jesus was teaching his disciples about the extent of forgiveness and their response was‘increase our faith!!'WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO FORGIVEMatthew 6:14-15 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgiveyou. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yourtrespasses."Mark 11:25-26 "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgivehim, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive,neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even asGod in Christ forgave you."Colossians 3:13 "Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has acomplaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do."Matthew 18:21-22 "Then Peter came to Him and said, 'Lord, how often shall my brother sinagainst me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?' Jesus said to him, 'I do not say to you, up toseven times, but up to seventy times seven.'"Luke 23:34 "Then Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.'"WE ALL HAVE HURTS.Story of Compa The Developer.IT'S A HEART MATTER.An offense is disrupting my story.My story is how I make sense of the world.It does not mean that it makes sense according to the Word.When a thing does not line up with those elements it is offensive to me.

Where do I get a whole heart?From the series: The Story of God(bulletin here)

     As a Christian, it is possible to have correct thinking (orthodoxy) and not live by it. James wrote, “To one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin” (Jam 4:17). There are times when believers know God's Word, but because of negative volition, do not apply it. Biblically speaking, it is possible for believers to commit any sin an unbeliever can commit. For example, Aaron led the Israelites to worship an idol (Ex 32:1-6). Gideon made an ephod which became an object of worship in Israel (Judg 8:27). Samson slept with prostitutes (Judg 16:1-4). In fact, there are examples in Scripture of believers who fell into habitual sin, in which they repeated the same sin over and over. This did not cause them to forfeit their salvation, but hindered the work of God in an area of their life.      Abraham had a recurring habit of lying about his relationship with his wife, Sarah. In Genesis 12, fearing for his life, Abraham told Sarah, “Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may live on account of you” (Gen 12:13). Later, in Genesis 20, he did it again, telling Abimelech, “She is my sister” (Gen 20:2). After God intervened and saved Sarah, Abraham admitted that he had instructed her, saying, “Everywhere we go, say of me, ‘He is my brother'” (Gen 20:13b). This pattern of behavior reveals a habitual sin. Longman states, “Here we have an example of a habitual sin. After the first occurrence when he went to Egypt (Gen 12:10–20), he knew that God was displeased with his behavior, but he continued to struggle with his self-protective lying until at least this point in his life.”[1]      For decades, King David practiced the sin of polygamy contrary to the Law of Moses, which specifically commanded the king of Israel, that “he shall not multiply wives for himself” (Deut 17:17). This command was meant to prevent the king from being led astray, as was common among pagan rulers who amassed wives for political alliances, wealth, and personal indulgence. Despite this clear directive, David engaged in polygamy throughout his life. His first recorded wife was Michal, the daughter of Saul (1 Sam 18:27), and while fleeing from Saul, he married Abigail and Ahinoam (1 Sam 25:39-43). After becoming king, he continued this pattern, marrying Bathsheba following his grievous sins of adultery and murder (2 Sam 11:2-27). Additionally, 2 Samuel 3:2-5 names six other wives—Maacah, Haggith, Abital, and Eglah, along with Abigail and Ahinoam—and Scripture further records that “David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he came from Hebron” (2 Sam 5:13). This reveals that his polygamy was not a momentary lapse but an ongoing practice in violation of God's law.      Solomon is another example of a believer falling into habitual sin. God called Solomon “My son” (2 Sam 7:14), heard his prayer (2 Ch 1:8-10), made him king over Israel (2 Ch 1:11), granted him “wisdom and knowledge” (2 Ch 1:12), used him to write three books of the Bible (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon), directed him to build the temple in Jerusalem over a period of seven years (1 Ki 6:38), made him ruler of Israel for forty years (1 Ki 11:42), and we are told that “Solomon loved the LORD and walked in the statutes of his father David” (1 Ki 3:3a). These are all signs of a true believer. However, according to Scripture, Solomon disobeyed God's command for the king of Israel, which stated, “He shall not multiply wives for himself” (Deut 17:17a). Despite this directive, Solomon practiced polygamy, having “seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away” (1 Ki 11:3). Solomon's disobedience was not a singular event but extended over many years, persisting until the end of his days. By the conclusion of his life, Solomon had forsaken his wisdom, as “his wives turned his heart away after other gods” (1 Kings 11:4a). Because Solomon consented to their corrupting pagan influence, he was “not wholly devoted to the LORD his God” (1 Ki 11:4b). Because he had negative volition, “Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD” (1 Ki 11:6). Solomon's evil practices demonstrate that a true believer—who cannot forfeit his salvation—can completely turn away from the Lord and commit himself to a lifestyle of sin. After Solomon turned away from the Lord and worshipped idols, Scripture reveals God severely disciplined him for his sin (1 Ki 11:11-43). Dr. Steven R.

SCRIPTURE: Ecclesiastes 1:1-11, 2:12-17, & 4:1-3; Proverbs 8:17-21 & 9:10-12 YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY'S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE!REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:What do you think Ecclesiastes means when it says, 'Vanity of vanities, all is vanity'? How does this idea challenge what we often believe about work and success?Kenny said that Time and Death are barriers that keep us from really being able to imagine the “horizon” of things, where God really does bring heaven down here to earth. How do those barriers affect your hope and faith? How do they impact your own sense of meaning and purpose in life?In Proverbs, wisdom is promised to lead to a good life, but Ecclesiastes challenges this idea. How do you feel about the tension between these two books? Does it feel strange to see places where Scripture is challenged… by other Scripture?Kenny concluded by saying that Ecclesiastes helps us wrestle with the gap between what we believe and what we experience in the world. What doubts or questions do you have about the meaning of life? About things like legacy and purpose?How might discussing these doubts in a safe environment help you grow in your understanding and faith?How might the prospect of a 'bigger Story' reframe our sense of purpose or meaning? What might that ‘bigger Story' be? What part might you be playing inside of it?

Story at-a-glance Research shows perceived stress significantly worsens COPD symptoms, with high stress levels quadrupling the risk of serious flare-ups requiring medical intervention Stress triggers biological changes in COPD patients, increasing inflammation markers and oxidative stress that directly damage lung tissue and impair breathing People with COPD who experience high stress levels report greater death anxiety, especially women, unemployed individuals and those lacking education about their condition Understanding your condition and building confidence in managing symptoms (self-efficacy) significantly reduces both stress levels and physical complications of COPD Simple interventions like focused breathing, symptom tracking and establishing daily routines help interrupt the stress-symptom cycle and improve quality of life

Story at-a-glance Recent research shows that adults in their mid-60s with healthier diets and lifestyle habits had significantly lower rates of hip fractures and cardiovascular-related deaths Diet quality has the biggest impact on long-term health, especially when focused on whole, unprocessed foods rather than processed meats, refined grains, and added sugars Calcium from food sources was associated with lower cardiovascular mortality, while those using calcium supplements faced higher fracture risk, likely due to prior fractures and poor nutrient balance Participants with healthier diets also smoked less, exercised more, and had fewer chronic health conditions It's never too late to adopt healthier habits, but combining multiple healthy practices delivers the greatest benefits for reducing disease risk and extending quality of life

Story at-a-glance Long-term antidepressant use significantly increases the risk of sudden cardiac death, with risk doubling after six or more years of use according to Danish research Younger adults face an even higher risk, with those aged 30 to 39 showing five times greater likelihood of sudden cardiac death after six years on antidepressants Antidepressants disrupt heart rhythm by affecting ion channels, triggering fatal irregular heartbeat Research shows antidepressants only benefit about 15% of patients beyond placebo effect, primarily those with severe depression rather than general low mood Effective alternatives for managing depression include exercise, sunlight exposure, gut health optimization and techniques for nervous system regulation

Much is often made of London's lost rivers, like the Tyburn, Fleet, and Walbrook. Yet Newcastle upon Tyne also has rivers we cannot see. Ours are not lost, rather they're simply buried. The Skinnerburn, Erick Burn, Pandon Burn, Lam Burn, and Lort Burn all continue to flow beneath the city, down to the mighty Tyne. The Lort Burn is perhaps the most well-known of the buried rivers. Originally called the Dene Burn, it gained its new name of Lort Burn in the later 14th century. Some sources say 'Lort' comes from an Old Norse word meaning 'filth' or 'excrement'. The Story of the Tyne: And the Hidden Rivers of Newcastle gives the rough route of the Lort Burn. I've followed it as best I can given the current street layout, picking up the ghost stories and legends that lie along its route. Let's go and explore them in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

Author here! After the reception you guys had to my Crater Lake story a day ago, I'm hoping you'll like this series just as much! It's the first part of a four parter, one that is a slow burn in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock, with a mixture of horror, suspense, and thriller. It's one of my favorite stories I've written so far. And if you have a keen eye to the ending lines of this first part, you'll get the first inklings of where this is going! Enjoy! ~ J.L. Goodwin

Story at-a-glance Cognitive decline is on the rise among Americans of all ages, leading to memory loss, trouble focusing, and poor decision-making. Regular physical activity significantly improves brain function, memory, and attention at any age Engaging in moderate-intensity exercises like yoga, dancing, or even exercise-based video games enhances memory and decision-making skills, without the need for intense workouts Brief, daily sessions of lighter exercise have shown greater cognitive benefits than longer, more strenuous routines, especially for children, adolescents, and individuals diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Exercising outdoors further amplifies these benefits, significantly reducing mental fatigue, boosting creativity by up to 60%, and promoting emotional well-being by lowering stress and anxiety Combining regular physical activity with quality sleep strengthens memory, attention, and overall cognitive sharpness, providing a powerful, practical strategy for keeping your brain healthy throughout your life

Story at-a-glance Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, targets inflammation at its source by interacting with biological systems that regulate inflammation, metabolism and cellular stress Research shows curcumin doses above 1,500 milligrams daily significantly reduce body mass index and fat mass while improving gut health and reducing systemic inflammation Curcumin helps rewire gut-brain communication by increasing beneficial gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids, supporting colon health and regulating appetite Advanced delivery methods like nanocarriers or a liposomal delivery system allow curcumin to cross the blood-brain barrier, fighting neurodegenerative conditions by reducing brain inflammation and supporting neuron repair Curcumin prevents protein clumping in brain cells, a hallmark of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, while offering a safe, affordable alternative to conventional treatments with numerous side effects

Christopher Wallace—better known as The Notorious B.I.G.—rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most iconic voices in hip-hop history. But just as his career was reaching its peak, he was gunned down in Los Angeles in a crime that remains officially unsolved to this day. In this episode, we trace Biggie's journey from his early life and rise to fame, through the East Coast–West Coast rivalry, to the night of his murder and the tangled web of conspiracy theories, police corruption, and false leads that followed. We also explore his mother Voletta's relentless fight for justice, and the legacy Biggie left behind.   Thank you to this week's sponsors!   Are you ready to bring all your favorite carbs right to your doorstep?

Story #1: Why are we giving credit to the various talking heads on the Left and within mainstream media who are finally speaking out about things that were obvious from the beginning, like the mental acuity of former President Joe Biden? Will calls out the cowards in the media who played it safe with their opinions over the last 5 to 10 years. Story #2: Will is joined by the Host of 'The Big Ben Show,' Ben Domenech to break down the most recent threats to President Donald Trump's tariff regime. Is a recent Federal court ruling against the tariffs another "nothingburger?" Plus, will charges be brought against staffers in the Biden White House over the misuse of the "autopen?" Story #3: Did FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino likely kill a classic internet meme with their recent claims that Jeffrey Epstein did, in fact, commit suicide? Plus, insight into a new direction for creators who are trying to fill the major voids left by Hollywood with the Writer, Producer, Director, and Star of ‘Little Angels,' Dean Cain.
