Some of the chemicals are known to cause cancer, liver damage, low birth weight and other health problems... Some of the highest levels were found in Miami, Philadelphia, New Orleans, northern New Jersey and New York City suburbs.

Read the study here...
January 22, 2020
Researchers at Cardiff University were analysing blood from a bank in Wales, looking for immune cells that could fight bacteria, when they found an entirely new type of T-cell. That new immune cell carries a never-before-seen receptor which acts like a grappling hook, latching on to most human cancers, while ignoring healthy cells. In laboratory studies, immune cells equipped with the new receptor were shown to kill lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer.

HP Printer Scam: Half-used ink cartridges won’t print unless you’re enrolled in the “HP Instant Ink” program…

The catch is that if you stop paying for the subscription, you can no longer print—even if the ink cartridge in your printer is still full. Sullivan said that’s what happened to him. “When I canceled the service I figured I was turning off some kind of renewal service, but never did the thought even cross my mind that the ink that was physically in my printer would stop working,”...
