Summary: Health organizations recommend keeping high cholesterol levels in check to be healthier. [Author: Brady Hartman – This article first appeared on the website LongevityFacts.]
High cholesterol levels are a silent killer that significantly increases the risk of stroke, kidney disease heart attack, and death. Cholesterol builds up the insides of artery walls, blocking the arteries that feed the brain, heart, kidneys. Treatment is efficient and inexpensive, yet many people walk around with high cholesterol levels, needlessly letting it steal years from their lives.

This New Experiment Could Finally Unite The Two Biggest Theories in Physics
Posted by Ian Hale in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
An idea for an experiment that could unite the stubborn fields of quantum mechanics and general relativity has been given new life by two groups of physicists from the UK.
The fact that quantum theory doesn’t play well with gravity is a massive stumbling block in physics, one that has long eluded some of the greatest minds in science.
Quantum mechanics is the modelling of discrete particles as probabilities that don’t truly exist until we’ve nailed down a measurement. Not that quantum physics is vague – a century of testing has made it one of the most robust theories in science.
