Sleep Deprivation Linked to Increased Inflammation via Altered Monocyte Levels
A study of 237 adults found that insufficient sleep is linked to higher levels of non-classical monocytes, a type of immune cell associated with inflammation, especially in overweight individuals; even 24 hours of sleep deprivation significantly altered monocyte profiles.

Switching to Tap Water Could Reduce Microplastic Intake by 90%
Canadian research indicates that switching to filtered tap water can reduce annual microplastic intake by 90%, from approximately 90,000 to 4,000 particles, based on a study finding up to 7 grams of plastic in some human brains, with higher levels in those with dementia.
