Death in a Bottle: My 24-Year Battle with Benzodiazepines
Timothy John Snyder recounts his struggle with benzodiazepine addiction. Beginning with a Xanax for stress, this led to a long-term dependency, including over 15 years on Klonopin.
"Now I’m 40, and I’ve been on Klonopin for over 15 years. You want to know what it feels like now? It feels like nothing. I could take five of them and still sit across from you like nothing happened. They don’t calm me. They don’t fix me. They just keep me from going into withdrawal.

We swing the kettlebell overhead while the kettlebell community swings to eye or shoulder height. No matter how many times we’re admonished for our excessive swing, we proceed unabated.
"We don’t do half-rep pull-ups, we don’t do half-rep squats and we don’t do half-rep push-ups. If there is a natural range of motion to any movement we like to complete it. To do otherwise seems unnatural. We would argue that partial reps are neurologically incomplete."

‘Parkinson’s is a man-made disease’
Europe’s flawed oversight of pesticides may be fueling a silent epidemic, warns Dutch neurologist Bas Bloem. His fight for reform pits him against industry, regulators — and time.
Bloem argues that Parkinson’s disease is increasingly caused by environmental toxins—especially pesticides like paraquat and glyphosate—and criticizes Europe’s regulatory failures for enabling a preventable public health crisis. He calls for a shift from reactive to preventive chemical regulation, warning that the true scale of Parkinson’s may still be underestimated due to outdated testing methods and industry influence. Despite mounting evidence and legal battles, Bloem believes policy has lagged behind science, echoing past delays in addressing asbestos, tobacco, and lead.

Do red and processed meats cause cancer?
In 2015, WHO said yes, but insiders say the process was flawed and biased
This article by Nina Teicholz critically examines the World Health Organization's 2015 decision, via its cancer research arm (IARC), to classify processed meats as carcinogenic and red meat as probably carcinogenic. Teicholz argues that this influential decision, which spurred global headlines and policy changes, was based on weak epidemiological evidence rather than strong, causal data. The IARC relied mainly on observational studies with minuscule relative risk increases (1.17 and 1.18), ignoring randomized controlled trials that showed no link between meat consumption and cancer. Experts who dissented or proposed alternate interpretations were reportedly sidelined during the decision-making process.
