To Floss or Not to Floss?

The new "data" that there is no proof that flossing your teeth is beneficial is just one of many "scientific" reports that is designed to sway us one way or the other. I've been around long enough to have seen a lot of these. I've also seen their counter reports. Eggs are bad! Wait... eggs aren't that bad if you eat one per day. Butter is bad! Wait, it might be better than margarine... Coffee, beer, wine—all bad! Wait!!! They all have flavonoids that are good for you!!!

So if it's just the same to all of you, I'm going to keep flossing my teeth every morning. I found out a while ago, that I do it "wrong" anyway; because I floss first and then brush. Apparently you brush first—which never made sense to me because I think my floss loosens stuck particles that are cleaned away during brushing. But then I'm no "expert." Still, I intend to keep flossing and to keep doing it the "wrong way" just the same...

Robert Nettles IV, SPRUCE Project Operations Manager at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . I went into the site fueled primarily by my lifetime of interest in the natural environment; as well as my interest from volunteering as a park ranger in the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Measles Outbreak?

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
