THE FIRST PROTOTYPES OF THE FOOD BARS WE ARE FAMOUS appeared thanks to the development of astronautics. Howard Bauman, a food technologist at the cereal company Pillsbury Company, and his team developed solid food for NASA astronauts. Since then, protein bars have come a long way and have become an advertising bomb. Finding out if the bars are really as useful as they say. Space sticks… Read More »
OUR CONCEPTS OF GOOD FOOD rarely match reality. Needless to say, both conservative gloss and pioneering Instagram blogs feed us bad advice every day .

POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS BACTERIA ARE EVERYWHERE . In the air, in the soil, in the water, and on any surface we touch, including our own body. These are single-celled organisms that can reproduce on their own. And then there are viruses – genetic material in a protein coat that can reproduce only through attachment to host cells (therefore, antibiotics targeting certain structures in bacterial cells do not kill them). Our first line of defense against all this friendly, but not very… Read More »

Scienziati dell’Università di Lund (Svezia) hanno dimostrato che l ‘”odore di pioggia” che rimane nell’aria fresca dopo la pioggia crea speciali sostanze volatili che rilasciano microbi del suolo per attirare gli artropodi. Questo è vitale per i microbi perché gli artropodi, vale a dire gli Springtail, aiutano i batteri a diffondersi in tutto il mondo. I leopardi si nutrono di… Read More »
