When I first saw the projections, I had the same reaction many researchers quietly admit but rarely say out loud. I stopped scrolling. Not because the numbers were confusing, but because they were too clear. Too definitive. Too heavy. Cancer deaths are no longer creeping upward. They are accelerating. And unless the global response changes … Read more
If you strip away all the buzzwords and tech hype, one clear fact remains: software jobs in the United States are on track to grow by about 15 percent through 2034, as noted by the BLS. That growth rate is several times faster than the average for all occupations. Even more important than the percentage … Read more
Last week at NCHStats did not feel like a “content week.” It felt like a real-life week that just happened to run through data, health, and a lot of uncomfortable truths. The hidden mineral reserves story kicked things off, and honestly, it started as a mess. Numbers everywhere. Everyone had a different idea of what … Read more
Over the past year, I have noticed a shift in how teenagers talk about connection. More often than not, the “someone” they confide in is no longer always a close friend, sibling, or even a parent. Increasingly, it is an AI chatbot. What started as casual experimentation with apps like Replika, Character. AI, or even … Read more
For years, black cumin seeds have been a staple in kitchens and traditional medicine cabinets across Asia and the Middle East. Now, modern research is starting to examine whether this everyday spice could meaningfully influence human health. A new Japanese study adds to that conversation, suggesting that a daily spoonful of black cumin powder may … Read more
For decades, aging at the cellular level has been blamed on one tiny structure inside our cells: the mitochondria. These microscopic power plants generate the energy that keeps cells alive and functioning. As we grow older, mitochondria break down, slow down, and multiply less efficiently. When that power supply weakens, diseases begin to appear across … Read more
A new study is drawing attention to a nutrient most people barely think about, choline, and its potentially powerful connection to brain aging, obesity, and early neurological decline. The findings, published in Aging and Disease, suggest that low choline levels combined with obesity may accelerate pathways associated with Alzheimer’s disease long before symptoms appear. As … Read more
When an older adult suffers a serious fall, it does not simply count as an accident. It functions as a biological warning signal, an inflection point that often marks the beginning of irreversible decline. The data is consistent across decades of research: a fall in adults over 65 significantly shortens life expectancy, even more so … Read more
For decades, coal ash has been treated as little more than a toxic reminder of America’s fossil-fuel past, a gray, powdery waste piled into landfills, buried in ponds, and left for environmental agencies to monitor. But a growing body of research is now pointing to something unexpected: the same waste we have worried about for … Read more
