Man Pours Hot Water Over a Store-Bought Apple. What Comes Off Will Disgust You!


We all love apples and we all know the old saying – apple a day keeps the doctor away, right?
Well, this is why many people just go to the local health store or supermarket and buy a bunch of apples, and go home feeling like they have done something good for their family.
But, you should be very careful, because your store-bought apples may be covered with harmful wax.
First, you should know that all apples produce a natural wax, but many are covered by a food-grade wax so they can stay in storage for long periods of time.
And the bad thing about this is that some food-grade wax is made from petroleum products, and it is well known that petroleum is not good for the body.
So, here comes the million-dollar question – what you need to do, to protect yourself.
Well, first make sure you buy all your apples from a farmer’s market or a local farm stand and the only wax you will find on those apples is the natural wax the fruit creates to seal in moisture.
But, unfortunately, if you have to buy your apples from the store, make sure you give them a good cleaning before eating them or serving them to your family.
Actually, do this with all fruits and veggies you buy from a store.
You need to know that food grade wax is put on most of them.
Here’s what you need to do – just fill the sink with about 4 inches of lukewarm water and add 1 tablespoon of both lemon juice and baking soda.
Then, you need to put the apples in the water and scrub them with a fruit or veggie scrub brush. After that, you need to rinse them and pat them dry.
This should remove most of the wax.
We really hope you find this article helpful and don’t forget to share it with your friends and family.
Thank You.

First Birth Control For Men, An Injection To The Groin, Will Be Available Soon

The use of contraceptives has been largely associated with women, but birth control for men might soon be available for use after Indian scientists announced that they have successfully completed clinical trials on the world’s first male birth control injection. The Indian Council for Medical Research said that the “product is ready,” and has a 97.3% success rate with no side effects, according to a report from the Hindustan Times. The contraceptive works via an injection to the vas deferens, the sperm-containing tube near the testicles. It contains a polymer called Steryene Maleic Anhydride, which was developed in the 1970s to inhibit sperm production. According to the report, the contraceptive will be effective for 13 years. VG Somani, the Drug Controller General of India, estimates approval of the drug to take around six months, minimum. “It’s the first in the world from India so we have to be extra careful about approval.

Novartis sickle-cell drug gets U.S. FDA approval

By John Miller and Carl O’Donnell (Reuters) - Novartis AG on Friday won U.S. approval for its experimental sickle cell disease drug, Adakveo, making it the first of several proposed new therapies designed to offer lasting relief for patients with the debilitating blood disease to get U.S. regulatory clearance. The drug will be priced between $84,852 and $113,136 per year for most patients, who will be infused by a healthcare provider with between three and four vials each month, Novartis said. The biologic drug, also known as crizanlizumab, was shown in trials in its high-dose formula to cut sickle cell pain crises nearly by half to 1.63 incidents annually from 2.98 in those getting a placebo. The Food and Drug Administration’s approval came nearly two months ahead of its due date for a decision in January. Novartis has forecast that the drug’s annual sales will top $1 billion, much of which will likely come from U.S. government payers such as Medicare and Medicaid. The dru...
