Banana stem water... Are there real health benefits?

Image
Banana stem water  (made from the inner core of the banana plant’s stem) is used in traditional diets in parts of South and Southeast Asia , and some of its claimed benefits are supported in a limited, practical way—while others are overstated. What’s reasonably supported Hydration with minerals : Banana stem is high in water and contains modest amounts of potassium and magnesium , which can support hydration . Dietary fiber (when pulped/juiced): It provides soluble fiber that may help digestion and regularity . Low-calorie : It’s very low in calories and sugar , making it a light beverage option. Traditional use for urinary comfort : Because it’s mostly water and mildly diuretic , it may help increase urine output, which can support general urinary tract comfort . What’s mixed or weakly supported Kidney stone prevention : Often claimed to “dissolve stones,” but evidence is indirect. Increased hydration can help reduce stone risk, yet there’s no strong proo...

1964 BBC Clip Proves Plan To End Humanity

Clarke makes a specific, on-the-record argument that human “organic or biological evolution has about come to its end” and that the next major evolutionary phase would be “inorganic or mechanical evolution,” which he says would be “thousands of times swifter” because it would be driven by machines “the remote descendants of...

Ex–Biden Aide Receives Russian Passport

Image
Former U.S. Senate staffer  Tara Reade , who previously worked in the office of then-Senator  Joe Biden  and later became a contributor to  RT , has announced that she has received citizenship from  Russia .  Reade described becoming a Russian citizen as an “honor and a privilege,” a statement that has drawn renewed attention due to her past allegations against Biden and her subsequent relocation abroad. Former U.S. Senate staffer Tara Reade’s decision to accept Russian citizenship has fueled deeper suspicions about how political scandals , media power, and geopolitical interests can intersect in ways that go far beyond one individual’s story. Her move reinforces the belief that whistleblowers or accusers who challenge powerful figures can find themselves isolated, discredited, and effectively pushed outside the system, leaving exile as their only perceived option. Reade’s embrace of Russia, and Russia’s willingness to publicly welcome her, is viewed by s...
