Cancer detection breakthrough uses chewing gum to trap and analyze biomarkers for cancer already growing in your body

U.S.-based biotech firm Volatile Analysis‘ non-profit Hudson Alpha have developed a chewing gum that may help detect cancer. According to the company’s scientists, each type of cancer produces a unique set of chemicals known as volatile organic compound. These chemicals differ in composition per cancer type, in the same way a healthy lung produces compounds that are different from a diseased lung, the scientists explained. Researchers said the gum absorbs these volatile compounds from a person’s saliva. The chewing gum is then analyzed after 15 minutes of chewing.

Biohackers May Soon Be Under The FDA’s Watchful Eye

Genetic engineering is proving to be an increasingly useful tool, effective at everything from protecting plant species to helping humans battle disease. It’s also getting progressively easier to harness, which is why we’re seeing a quickly growing community of do-it-yourself genetic engineers (or biohackers) emerge. Many of these DIY scientists are focused on improving animal species for better breeding, but some skeptics are afraid some well-intentioned scientist somewhere might accidentally home-brew a deadly pathogen or open some other sort of Pandora’s box of genetic devastation.

Stephen Hawking: 100 Years Left For Humans To Escape Earth

Keeping up with his warnings, Hawking warns in a forthcoming documentary – called Stephen Hawking: Expedition New Earth – that humans should make their exodus from the planet within the next century if they have any hope of surviving. According to the BBC, which is releasing the feature this summer, Hawking discusses his assertion that “the human race only has one hundred years before we need to colonize another planet.”

Study: Sugary drinks linked to accelerated aging and early signs of Alzheimer’s disease

Consuming sugary drinks may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, two recent studies revealed. To carry out the first study, a team of researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine pooled data from the Framingham Heart Study and examined more than 5,000 volunteer participants. The participants were instructed to log their beverage intake through questionnaires that assessed their diets over the past year. The research team found that consuming artificially-sweetened drinks was associated with increased odds of stroke and dementia among the participants. However, the experts did not observe a causal relationship between sugary drinks and higher dementia rick. The findings were published in the journal Stroke.

Netflix begins SCIENCE PURGE to eliminate genetics education from videos

People laughed when I predicted in this Bill Nye story about how he thinks transgenderism is “evolution” that California would begin purging genetics education from its textbooks to appease the lunatic Left. Not even two weeks after my prediction, Netflix has already begun its Orwellian purge of science education from older videos, “stealth editing” genetics and sex expression information out of them in order to conform to the “gender fluid” lunatics of the insane, delusional Left.

CVS shifting away from unhealthy candy and soda in favor of healthier items

CVS has decided to dramatically slash the amount of space it devotes to junk food and soda just three years after it stopped selling tobacco products. The country’s biggest drugstore chain has been making a series of positive moves that reflect the increasing trend toward health consciousness sweeping the U.S. as increasing numbers of stores and restaurants displace conventional food in favor of organic options.
