But What Will Happen to the Blood Type Diet?

We’re being facetious – okay, maybe just silly. But get ready for some radical news: scientists have been hard at work making enzymes that will switch any blood type into type O. As in, O, wow. Type O can be accepted by everybody regardless of blood type, so this looks to be revolutionary for public health. Pretty amazing! We’ll keep you posted.

Antidepressant Alternative Brings Cheer

The medical community has been expressing growing concern over the lackluster improvements in antidepressant medication. Frankly, we just need something safer, healthier and more effective. Lo and behold, today’s edition of the journal Neuroscience reports that friendly bacteria found in dirt may do the trick.

There are some dangerous ones out there, but most bacteria serve a healthy and important purpose: they keep you slim, develop and strengthen your immune system, thereby enabling us all to…live. By all means, wash your hands, but do not buy into the new antibacterial keychain trend. You’ll be okay without it, we promise.

Tadpoles? Nope, just soap.
