New research says that carrots aren’t just good for your eyes, they also do wonders for the skin. A new study presented at the NUTRITION 2024 conference, the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition, found that snacking on baby carrots 3 times a week increased the levels of skin carotenoids in young adults. High skin carotenoid levels have a link to increased antioxidant protection and a lower risk for chronic diseases — including cancer and heart disease — and also gives the immune system a boost.

The next time you eat something that flaunts the rich flavor of vanilla, you might want to be aware of—or do your best to ignore—the fact that castoreum, a goo that beavers excrete to mark their territory, is sometimes used to enhance the flavor of vanilla in food, according to National Geographic. The goo is "generally regarded as a safe additive" by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but you'll probably never come across it in real life because it's difficult and expensive to collect.

A report found that those who are divorced are about a quarter more likely to die early, compared to those who are married.
We often hear it said that we’re living in unprecedented times. And we are. But experts say if there is one constant throughout the ages, it is that people are ALWAYS living in unprecedented times. And while we might think that with wars, political upheaval, and the now ever-present effects of climate change, 2024 must be the craziest year on record. But according to a team assembled by Hamilton College, at least in the US, wars and presidential elections seem to generate a cascade of events, historically speaking. And important events also seem to create more important events to follow. If you’re trying to keep up with world events and the dizzying pace of the changes to the political scene in recent months, you might think that there has never been a year quite like 2024, but according to the experts, the years 1940, 1968, and 1973 all saw similar amounts of upheaval domestically and abroad. Here are a few of the major events in 1940, 1968, and 1973…
1940: Nazis invade European countries, Churchill elected in UK., France surrenders to Germany.
1968: President Johnson bows out of election, Robert F Kennedy is killed after winning California primary, Nixon elected, MLK Jr. is assassinated, Soviets move into Czechoslovakia.
1973: Watergate scandal in US, Ford assumes office, Roe v. Wade, Viet Nam war ends, Egypt and Syria invade Israel, Soviet oil embargo.

A foul-mouthed parrot has found a home, after hundreds applied to adopt it. Pepper, the bird with an attitude, starting attracting the attention of hopeful adopters from across the US when the SPCA in Niagara Falls NY began sharing updates about him. The agency’s initial post read that bringing the “potty-mouthed” parrot home “might seem like a fun idea until Pepper offends grandma’s Tuesday night knitting group. On the bright side, if you want to keep unannounced company from dropping in, adopt Pepper.” Another post asked that “Somebody get this guy a bar of soap or a humor-loving home!” In 5 days, there were more than 400 applicants to adopt Pepper, and he has now been taken in by a household “with an African Grey named Shelby, who makes Pepper look like ‘a saint’,” officials wrote.
