Widespread Forever Chemicals Might Be Hurting Our Livers, Study Finds – Gizmodo

PFAS chemicals end up in our environment through the plastic products and other trash we throw out. Image: Zakir Hossain Chowdhury/NurPhoto (Getty Images) New research finds evidence that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, can damage people’s livers over time. The study, a review of the evidence in both rodents and humans, might also show that PFAS exposure can contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a chronic metabolic condition that’s become more common. PFAS are synthetic chemicals often used in manufacturing, particularly in plastic products or cosmetics. But because PFAS don’t break down easily, they’ve ended up just about everywhere in the environment—earning them the grim nickname of forever chemicals. This ubiquity extends to living things as well, wit...

NXT recap & reactions (April 26, 2022): In with a roar, out with a whimper – Cageside Seats

NXT 2.0 is live this week from the same place! I’m your host this evening, or morning, or whenever you’re reading, and my co-host Claire is at the ready with the best blog on the internets. Let’s talk NXT 2.0! ON SIGHT! Lash Legend and Nikkita Lyons have the best feud in the territory. I said I before and I will shout it as loud as I can from the tallest mountain I have enough guts to scale. The two ladies opened NXT this week and wasted no time getting into it as Lash was on the hunt. The violence felt real and for a moment, a little too real. There was a scary spot where Lyons narrowly escaped landing on her head when Lash dumped her out of the ring. The two women aren't polished in the ring yet but make up for it in pure watchability and character work. Plus, it’s ...

Grilling a Whole Vegetable? Toss It on the Coals.

In the United States, grilling is supposedly synonymous with leisure time. Homeowner’s insurance commercials and suburban sitcoms tell us we’re supposed to effortlessly fire up the grill on a Sunday evening, turning out a fully formed meal while lazily sipping an IPA or chatting with neighbors over the fence. But as Paula Forbes wrote for TASTE a few years ago, grilling really isn’t all that easy—especially when you’re looking to hit the perfect medium-rare shade of red on the inside of your rib eye, or trying to keep your teriyaki chicken thighs from soaring above 165°F and drying out. But when you set your sights on the plant kingdom, grilling really can be relaxed without sacrificing any of the flavorful results. And better yet, you can often...

Bucatini all’Amatriciana Recipe

A Classic Roman Dish - Bucatini all'Amatriciana Like many of you, Meg and I watched the Stanley Tucci special on CNN called Searching for Italy. In the Rome episode, he has lunch at Armando Al Pantheon to enjoy their famous rigatoni all'amatriciana, one of Rome's famous pastas. I made it a little different and call it bucatini all'Amatriciana. Of course I had to run out and buy the ingredients so we could make it at home. Not a lot of ingredients and very simple to prepare and absolutely delicious. Let's look at some of the ingredients. Bucatini Bucatini is a pasta that looks a lot like spaghetti but it is thicker and has a whole running down through the strand. My kids like to say it looks like a straw made out of pasta.  If you lived in Naples, Italy, you would call...
