  1. Is the five second rule a real thing?

    Is the five second rule a real thing?

    How do you react when a piece of food you’re eating falls to the floor? Some people would throw it away in disgust, while others would still eat it, perhaps after rinsing it under water or blowing on it. Of course, there’s those that abide by the five second rule. That’s the popular belief that suggests any food is still fit for consumption as long as it hasn’t been on the floor for longer than five seconds. So does the time a piece of food spends on the ground affect how likely it is to be contaminated by germs and other bacteria? Back in 2016, researchers from Rutgers University in the United States looked into the matter from a scientific approach, and published their findings in the Applied and Environmental Microbiology journal. How did they test the five second rule? What impact did the surface and food type have? So does eating food that’s been on the floor make you sick then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  2. Does a 'lifetime guarantee' really mean for life?

    Does a 'lifetime guarantee' really mean for life?

    In this age of responsible and measured consumption, we’re tending to turn more and more towards products with a long lifespan and a good guarantee. In fact, you’ve probably already seen this on a cast-iron saucepan, a bicycle or even household appliances, promising a lifetime guarantee. But the terms and conditions of this promise are not always very clear. Therefore, it’s important to understand the difference between a genuine and a fake lifetime guarantee, and how to spot the signs of trust and transparency from brands.  What does it mean legally speaking? Can I have my product repaired until I die? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  3. Why are my ears ringing?

    -19 H

    Why are my ears ringing?

    It’s not uncommon to hear ringing, buzzing, humming or hissing sounds that can’t be heard by anyone else. The medical term for these symptoms is tinnitus. The sounds may affect both ears, or just one. If you’re lucky, they’re a temporary or intermittent problem, but for some people they can be more severe, affecting their daily lives.  2019 figures from the British Tinnitus Association suggested that persistent tinnitus affects 1 in 8 people. Occasional ringing in the ears is nothing to worry about. It’s when it lasts for longer than a few minutes that you may wish to consult a GP. Bear in mind that tinnitus itself isn’t actually a disease. The sounds are symptoms of other disorders and health conditions. Where does it come from? Does it get worse with age? Are there any treatments for permanent tinnitus? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What happens to our bodies when we do Dry January?

    You’re most likely familiar with the concept of Dry January, which started out in the UK in 2013 and has since become hugely popular. It involves not consuming a single drop of alcohol for the whole month of January. In 2022, record participation numbers were recorded, with over 130,000 people signing up with Alcohol Change to take part. On average, British people drink 9.8 litres of pure alcohol per year, according to figures released by the OECD in 2021. Right from the first few hours of cutting out alcohol, the body starts its detox process. You may get noticeable withdrawal symptoms, depending on how dependent your body is on alcohol. If you’re a moderate drinker, you may have a little trouble getting to sleep. If you drink more often, you might get headaches or break into a sweat. It’s often said that the first three days are the hardest. Is there really an impact in such a short space of time? What about from week two onwards? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

    Which foods shouldn't be eaten together?

    Avoiding weight gain is just so difficult sometimes, isn’t it? It’s not enough to eat only healthy foods, you also have to combine those healthy foods in the right way.  That’s because when we eat different types of foods together, they interact with each other in our digestive system. Depending on their characteristics, some foods get digested faster than others. What can happen to our bodies if we combine the 'wrong' foods? And which are the worst combinations? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What are umbrella species?

    Within an ecosystem there are many different species, and it can be difficult for conservationists to come up with specific strategies to protect every single one of them. That’s why some have started focusing on umbrella species, because of the benefits that protecting them has for other co-occurring species. It’s as if they’re putting an umbrella over the entire surrounding ecosystem. They help conservationists select locations for reserves, establish the minimum size, and to generally better understand ecosystems i.e. their composition, structure and processes. What are some examples of umbrella species? Funny, a lot of those are also the most popular species in humans’ eyes, aren’t they? What about umbrella species in Europe?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

  8. Why does time go by faster with age?

    Why does time go by faster with age?

    Do you remember how as a kid, it would always seem like an eternity waiting for Christmas or your birthday to come around? But having reached adulthood, it seems like the years just fly by. It’s a funny thing, but as we get older, time simply seems to go by quicker. Of course in reality the passage of time doesn’t change at all. But it’s been established that our perception of time passing is altered as we age. In recent years, American mechanical engineering professor Adrian Bejan came up with a new theory on the subject, which was published in the European Review journal in March 2019. He suggested that as we grow older our brain’s cognitive abilities wane. What research has been done into that phenomenon? Are there any other theories out there?
