@Rainmaker1973 Rather than adding DIM extract into toothpaste (more likely a synthetic version) "to prevent decay naturally", surely the message here is "eat your greens"?!

Compound found in broccoli kills 90% of cavity-causing bacteria. Scientists have discovered that a molecule produced when we eat cruciferous vegetables — like broccoli, kale, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts — can wipe out the bacteria that cause cavities. The compound, known as 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM), killed 90% of Streptococcus mutans biofilms in lab tests, according to a new study by Ben-Gurion University, in collaboration with researchers from Singapore and China. Streptococcus mutans is the main culprit behind plaque and tooth decay. It forms sticky biofilms on tooth enamel, which trap acids that erode the surface and cause cavities. DIM appears to disrupt the bacteria’s ability to form those films, effectively dismantling their protective layer and leaving them vulnerable. The findings are still preliminary — the experiments were conducted in vitro, not yet in humans — but researchers believe DIM could someday be added to toothpaste or mouthwash to prevent decay naturally.

AI can be amusing and very helpful, when it gets things right (and if we can tell), but clearly it can't yet be trusted with your health. theguardian.com/technology/202…

Knowing your HIV status matters for well-being. New global study across 150+ countries shows stigma and exclusion still harm LGBTQ+ communities. We need rights-based, stigma-free access to testing, PrEP & treatment. #StopStigma #EndAIDS nature.com/articles/s4156…

@NZFreeSpeech Done.

You don’t need to understand telecommunications law to understand that the Government is rushing through a bill that gives it more power over how New Zealanders communicate online. Encryption. Surveillance. Control over services. ⏰ We have 24 hours to submit on the Bill. Submissions close midnight tomorrow. Do it now: fsu.nz/blog/submissio… If you care about free speech or privacy, now is the moment to act.

When funding falls short, millions of people living with HIV face disrupted care, declining health, and for some, the risk of death.​ The world must come together to address the challenges threatening the HIV response.​ If we fail to act, we risk losing the chance to end AIDS.

As most countries' HIV epidemics trend downwards, Fiji's new infections have grown more than 30-fold in 15 years. While the absolute numbers are still modest, it is a small country and the rapid spread of HIV has authorities scrambling.
