SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH

Your body can repair broken bones, heal skin and even regenerate much of the liver – but teeth? Nope. Once enamel is damaged, it can’t naturally rebuild itself, leaving you at the dentist’s office, getting a filling. Now, researchers say they’ve created a specialized gel containing proteins that mimic the process used to create enamel during infancy. Applied to damaged teeth, it helps calcium and phosphate from saliva rebuild the enamel’s mineral structure. Tests suggest the regenerated enamel can withstand brushing, chewing, and acidic foods much like natural enamel. Researchers hope the technology could eventually replace traditional fillings – and say it could be available as soon as next year.

BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN

Val Kilmer has been reasurrected in the upcoming film “As Deep as the Grave”. The actor, who died in 2025 at 65, returns to the screen thanks to AI technology. A 7-minute clip released this week shows a young Kilmer as a Catholic priest conflicted with the mission of founding a new church while respecting the Navajo people and their culture. Kilmer was cast in the film prior to his death, but the shooting schedule was delayed due to the pandemic and his diagnosis of throat cancer. To bring Kilmer “back to life”, pictures from his family archive and later footage of the “Top Gun” star were used, along with recordings of his voice from before he underwent a tracheotomy. No release date for As Deep as the Grave has been announced. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/tmsk923b

An “Outer Banks” prequel is in the works at Netflix. This new project is coming together as the young adult series aired its finale yesterday. Set 20 years before the events of the original, the prequel will explore the origins of the deep social divides of Kildare Island, a place divided between the wealthy Kooks and the working class Pogues. Outer Banks premiered on the streamer in 2020 and quickly became a big hit. It follows Chase Stokes’ character ‘John B.’ and his band of Pogues as they search to figure out what really happened to his late father.

Sandra Bullock says she was forced to join social media to combat scammers. The Oscar winner joined Instagram in April and has since amassed 6 million followers. While many assumed Bullock created a profile simply to promote “Practical Magic 2”, she said on the “SmartLess” podcast: “I had to because there were people that were using my name and likeness to scam money out of people.” Bullock’s sister had “people reaching out to her saying, ‘Your sister took thousands of dollars from me.’” After reclaiming her identity online, she said: “it stopped a little bit, but it doesn’t really. It’s just never-ending.”

SCOOP OF THE DAY

WHAT YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF BOOK DOES FOR YOUR BRAIN:

Any reader knows that books can be addictive. And it’s little wonder, when you consider what reading your favorite type of book does to – and for – your brain…

Mysteries and thrillers: They keep your brain busy gathering clues, making predictions and revising theories. The suspense comes from trying to figure out what happens before the author reveals it.

Romance: Makes you track emotions, attraction and relationship dynamics. It can tap into the brain’s reward and anticipation systems, giving you the emotional rush of a crush - without the awkward texts.

Fantasy: Fantasy requires you to build an unfamiliar world in your head and remember its rules. Your brain has to process magical events, spot surprises and figure out how everything fits together.

Horror: It lets you experience fear while knowing you're actually safe. The brain processes fictional threats, while other areas help regulate the fear - giving you a controlled dose of adrenaline.

Historical fiction: These books turn facts and dates into human stories. By imagining what life was like in another era, readers develop greater immersion and perspective-taking.

Memoirs: They encourage you to compare someone else’s experiences with your own. That can trigger memories, emotions and questions like, “What would I have done?”

Humor: Humor makes your brain solve a tiny puzzle. First, you figure out the joke; then your reward system kicks in when the punchline lands.

WEIRD NEWS

A proposal to curb “vertical drinking” — that’s enjoying a pint while standing at the bar — has sparked outrage among London pub-goers. Westminster Council says it wants to encourage more seating and table service as a way of discouraging excessive drinking and to improve safety, but insists it has no plans to completely ban standing while drinking. Critics, including London’s mayor, say the idea could hurt the city’s nightlife and struggling pubs. Standing at the bar is considered a longstanding part of British pub culture.

THE LIST

Cheating apparently doesn’t have to involve a kiss - or even leaving the house. A new survey of 2,000 people (in the US) found that 41% consider an ongoing flirty text conversation to be cheating. More than a third also draw the line at secretly talking to an ex, deleting messages, or keeping a dating profile “just to look.” Meanwhile, 1 in 7 people in relationships admit they have romantic feelings for someone else. But relationship deal-breakers can get even stranger. People said they’ve ended relationships over everything from weird-looking feet - to bad pasta and canned vegetables.

Here are the Top Ten Acts That Count as Cheating, according to the survey:

☞ Keeping an ongoing flirtatious text conversation with someone

☞ Talking with one person late into the night while hiding it from your partner

☞ Maintaining a dating app profile “just to look” or for validation

☞ Keeping someone in your phone under a fake name

☞ Deleting messages so your partner won't see them

☞ Keeping in touch with an ex without telling your partner

☞ Secretly meeting someone one-on-one(Uh...how is this NOT cheating?)

☞ Having a secret friendship your partner doesn't know about

☞ Fantasy messaging, such as discussing “what if we were single?” with someone

Sending heart emojis/compliments/inside jokes to someone in a romantic way
