(Natural News) The fancy bottles that come with your drink could be killing you faster than the alcohol itself. A recent paper published in Environmental Science & Technology revealed that decorated bottles of beer, wine and spirits could be laced with potentially toxic elements such as lead and cadmium. The study, authored by Andrew Turner from the University […]

(Natural News) Off the northeastern coast of the United States, researchers have found a gigantic freshwater aquifer hiding underneath the Atlantic ocean. An aquifer is an underground layer of water. This particular aquifer’s exact size is still unclear, but the researchers believe it has the potential to be the largest known aquifer to date. For comparison, the largest […]

(Natural News) One of the things that makes the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) hard to contain is how long it can take to test for the presence of the virus (SARS-CoV-2). To address this, researchers at the University of Leicester in England are developing a new face mask that can detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 much faster. The scientists […]

(Natural News) Obesity has been a growing health problem over the years, especially in the United States. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK), more than one in three adults are considered obese. This excess weight can bring negative effects to a person’s wellbeing and even inhibit their day-to-day […]

(Natural News) Plants such as trees form symbiotic relationships with bacteria and fungi in the soil, with the latter helping capture nutrients and minerals from the environment. In turn, the tree shares some of the food that it produces using the energy of the sun with these bacteria and fungi. Now, a study published in the journal Nature […]

(Natural News) In June of 2019, miners employed by Enchanted Designs Limited were busy at work in Alberta, Canada looking for ammolite, a rainbow-colored gemstone used in luxury jewelry, when they instead found something arguably much more valuable. They found the fossilized remains of an ancient sea monster that lived about 70 million years ago during the […]

While largely harmless in its early stages, NAFLD can become a serious health problem if it worsens. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of NAFLD is […]

(Natural News) In a pair of caves known as the Grotta del Fossellone and the Grotta di Sant’Agostino in Italy’s western Lazio region, archaeologists discovered some of the earliest known examples of the use of adhesives. In this study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, archaeologists found evidence that Neanderthals that lived around 55 to 40 thousand years ago […]

(Natural News) Locked deep beneath our oceans, according to scientists, are deposits of frozen methane. Dubbed “fire ice,” these deposits, once released, can trigger large-scale natural catastrophes such as tsunamis and landslides – and scientists and experts currently have no idea how much of these fire ice deposits exist. According to Ann Cook, an associate […]

(Natural News) When future astronauts finally land on Mars, they may find that they’re not the only living things on the planet. A new study from researchers from Wichita State University in Kansas, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and the Space Science Institute in Colorado show that bacteria could possibly lie dormant under the surface of the Red Planet.
