Monday Musings…

It’s nearly the end of another month…February beckons the second month of the year in the northern hemisphere it is usually considered the last month of winter…Trans Fats have been a disaster for the health of the world ..Today I published the link to the Fourth Progress Report on Global Trans Fat Elimination from the virtual event that was held by the WHO. Natural antibiotics have been used for centuries and while I think and do use some of them there is also a place for subscribed antibiotics they can often work hand in hand and sometimes they work better however over the years they have become over-prescribed and people are building up a resistance to them and sometimes a dependency both of which are not good for the world’s health…Then there are Cordyceps…Killer Fungi to read about those and more please click the highlighted link below…

Monday Musings…30th January 2023…Update on WHO virtual meeting 23/1/2023 on Trans Fats, Battery Storage, Killer Fungi and a Natural Antibiotic…The Chilli Pepper

Thursday Thoughts the first of February…This morning, many Americans woke up early to see whether Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, a sign that supposedly determines whether we can expect six more weeks of winter or early spring. For what it’s worth, that’s according to a groundhog’s nonscientific forecast – and his accuracy has historically been a hit or miss. Still, people across the US are enamoured with the quirky tradition. The cootchie catcher is also featured do you remember playing that game as a child?
