For many of us, bread and butter are among lifeâs greatest pleasures. But, depending on how we eat the pairing â and how often â it may be harmful to our heart health.
How we eat our bread and butter matters for heart health.
But, studies on the link between diet and health are often flawed and bewildering. Typically, studies focus on single nutrients, like sugar or fat, in an attempt to isolate dietary contributors to a health issue. This has led to dietary guidelines around the world that, in turn, focus on these nutrients and a food industry that profits by labelling products âlow inâ this nutrient or having âno addedâ that.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/516820.html (Natural News) The Arabian Peninsula is home to more than 1,000 ancient monuments that are more than 2,500 years older than the U.K.’s Stonehenge. Called “mustatils,” which is the Arabian term for “rectangles,” these rectangular stone structures were likely used by Arabian cattle herders to perform rituals.
Researchers from the
University of Western Australia arrived at this conclusion after excavating the site in northwestern Saudi Arabia. They uncovered cattle horns and skulls in one mustatil, suggesting that ancient Arabians might have used cattle fragments as ritual offerings.
Based on the age of the skulls, the researchers posited that mustatils were built between 5300 and 5000 B.C. This would make the monuments the earliest large-scale, ritual site anywhere in the world, predating Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids by more than two millennia.

The Reserve Bank has conceded record-low interest rates are contributing to soaring house prices but warned governments and regulators it is their problem to solve as the central bank focuses on driving down unemployment.
RBA deputy governor Guy Debelle on Thursday night used a speech to the University of Western Australia to argue that while high house prices created problems, a lift in interest rates would hurt the jobs market even more.
Reserve Bank of Australia deputy governor Guy Debelle says while high house prices are a legitimate concern, the bank remains committed to low interest rates.

Black swan DNA could offer insight into how humans respond to bird flu
May 6 2021
In a world-first, scientists from The University of Western Australia have assembled the entire DNA of the black swan, which could offer insight into how the bird, and even humans, respond to bird flu and other pandemics in the same family of viruses.

The black swan, a species native to Western Australia and the State’s official bird emblem, is particularly vulnerable to bird flu compared to other birds. Similarly, humans who contract the virus are also very vulnerable, with high fatality rates.
