Faith in Christ tells us that our bond with the faithful departed is not broken, but transformed. Through our prayers for the repose of their souls, we accompany our loved ones toward full communion with the Lord, of which we already have a true foretaste here, in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Inspired by this faith filled with hope, let us continue our earthly journey, awaiting the day when the Lord will wipe away every tear.
How’s it taste?
Mark Cuban says he showed a food CEO that ChatGPT could design a cheaper GLP-1-friendly alternative to his best-selling cookie in ~3 minutes (and the CEO had no idea AI could do it):
“I literally sat with the head of a consumer food company, and he was talking to me about acquisitions…because of GLP-1s.
I'm like OK, let's do this. Let's take your number one product, your cookie. I'm going to ask ChatGPT to create a competitor that is more GLP-1 friendly and will be priced lower. And I want a full bill of materials. I want sources, everything on manufacturing, what I have to do. In about 3 minutes we got back to him, and he was like, oh ****. He had no idea.”
A tell tale sign of a sleep product that the founders didn’t use is Valerian root.
Feel Goods, the wellness brand best known for its clean & functional drink mixes, just launched its first gummy product with Sleep+.
The plant-powered gummies are formulared with saffron and several other active ingredients, including passion flower, valerian root, 5-HTP, and phytomelatonin.
One flavor, Berry Bliss, is currently available.
The FDA should make ingredient labels read like this.
A Butterfinger is under 2% cocoa. The brown coating is palm kernel oil, palm oil and sugar.
The bar reads corn syrup, sugar, peanuts, vegetable oil printed as palm kernel and palm oil, peanut flour and nonfat milk. Then the under 2% group starts, and cocoa is the first thing, ahead of milk, salt, soy lecithin, natural flavor and annatto color. The wrapper says chocolatey. Butterfinger's site says the coating is made with cocoa, and that's true. Cocoa powder in palm kernel oil is a compound coating. It can't be called chocolate, because FDA's milk chocolate standard is built on chocolate liquor and cocoa butter, and neither one is on this label.
The peanut is real. Peanuts are third on the list and peanut flour is fifth. The one color on the list is annatto, a seed extract.
I’ve been testing a lot of styles for wonderade and so far this classic cozy animation is hitting the spot.
A new trial gave pregnant women one supplement every day, and their kids scored about 8 points higher on an IQ test at age 4. What they took is more interesting than the headline
It was phosphatidylcholine, 9 grams a day, from week 16 of pregnancy until birth. That's roughly 7 to 9 softgels a day. The other half of the moms took a lookalike placebo.
Phosphatidylcholine is the form of choline your body gets from food. It's what's in egg yolks and soybeans. It's not choline bitartrate, the cheaper form most multivitamins use when they include choline at all.
9 grams of phosphatidylcholine works out to about 1,300 mg of actual choline. The everyday recommendation in pregnancy is 450 mg. So they took about 3 times the recommended amount, still under the 3,500 mg upper limit, and the researchers reported no safety problems for moms or kids.
Both groups were also encouraged to take a regular prenatal and eat choline-rich foods.
So the 8 points came from the extra supplement on top of a normal diet.
Meanwhile, most moms don't even hit the basic 450 mg. About 9 in 10 fall short. That's where food comes in.
One large egg has about 147 mg, almost all of it in the yolk. Beef, chicken, fish, soybeans and milk all chip in too, and beef liver has the most.
The study was done at the University of Colorado and published this month in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. 206 moms took part.

started yelling "violence!" while wrestling my toddler and now he keeps running up to me going "mommy peez violence?"
NEW: Children whose mothers took choline supplements during pregnancy scored +8 IQ points higher at age 4 than those in a placebo group, major new study finds.

In July we open-sourced a dynamic graph of everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts, 3,221 dependencies.
Now we’re turning every concept into interactive experiments kids can play and learn from.
First one, age 7: heat and water.
Everything that used to be a boring textbook can now be an engaging experience, potentially tailored to every child.
Kids education just got a massive upgrade.
