Health: pleasure and poison at the same time
It is hard to believe that both cases are supposed to be the same substance: there is this tasty red that refines the evening with friends and makes it end in high spirits after bold conversations – and at the same time the veins stay elastic and the heart fresh. And then there is a […]
New Alzheimer’s therapy: FDA has its own decision examined
An Alzheimer’s drug that is used at an early stage to prevent the disease from progressing? That sounds wonderful. It would be a milestone because the remedies available so far only alleviate symptoms of the disease.

Coronavirus: Biontech vaccination apparently works for a long time
It is now certain that mRNA vaccines provide reliable protection against corona infection. The vaccines from Biontech and Moderna, which are approved in the EU, prevent more than 90 percent of all Covid-19 cases, and protection is even higher against severe courses. But how long does the effect last, does the vaccination have to be […]
Obesity: Just Eat Less
Overweight people have to live with the fact that others judge their bodies without being asked. Obesity is a disease that is not only related to food. There was a time when Stephanie Bosch no longer wanted to live. Her classmates bullied her beyond the limits of what was bearable, the school was pure horror. […]
Coronavirus: Now it is decided how autumn will be
Israel, the country with one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, will be introducing mandatory indoor masks again next week – just two weeks after it was lifted.
