THIS Is The Strange Reason Why We Have That Groove Between Our Nose and Top Lip!

Every face is completely unique, even identical twins have slight differences in their faces when they are formed in utero. Our greatest expressive feature, as human beings, are our faces; even the most subtle differences between twins, are what makes up their individuality.

The human face shares many basic characteristics in common, such as eyes, a nose, a mouth and what we usually call “that little thingy” between our noses and mouths. We are referring to that groove, more prominent in some faces than others, that is actually called the “philtrum”.

Strangely, it has no function at all; rather it is a residual part of our evolution from the fish! In this fascinating short video below, you will hear about how this philtrum is formed, when the parts of our face come together, “like pieces of a puzzle” during the second and third month of our development in our mother’s wombs.

It helps to explain the uniqueness of each of our faces. Watch the video below for more information!

Are You Really Annoyed By The Sound Of Chewing Apparently THIS Is The Strange Reason Why!

Does the sound of someone chewing make you crazy; does it seem so amplified that you can’t block it out and find yourself getting angry and even enraged?  If you have this reaction to chewing or cutting of nails or other sounds that people naturally block out, you are not alone.  This is a real neurological disorder called “mysophonia”.

In the video you are about to watch below, mysophonia is discussed in some depth.  He explains that the condition comes from the central nervous system which is hard wired to auditory stimuli in a negative way, that causes the individual to experience panic, anger and disgust.

When faced with these sounds they experience something similar to the “fight or flight” response of an anxiety attack. That’s the bad news…but here’s the good news!  Northwestern University did some extensive research on the syndrome, and found that people who have this heightened sensitivity to sound tend to be more creative than average.

“Atypical attention” corresponds with creativity.  Watch the footage below, to get further insight into this condition, and some behavioral solutions for coping with it.

Let us know if you or someone you know has experienced this irritability in response to certain sounds, and how you have coped with it.

Apparently THIS Is What Happens Inside Your Body When You Consume Packaged Ramen Noodles!

Ramen noodles are a real “go-to” for people who want something satisfying, tasty and inexpensive; for instance college students are big consumers of this processed food.  Although Ramen noodles come in a non-processed form, it is the processed version that is most popular.

It contains a food additive called Tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), which is commonly used as a preservative for cheap processed foods.  TBHQ is a chemical that is derived from petroleum, and is not digestible.  Because of the difficulty in digesting this chemical, a small study was performed by Dr. Braden Kuo of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Kuo is a gastroenterologist who wanted to compare the stomach’s ability to digest Fresh vs Preserved ramen noodles. People who participated in the study swallowed a “smart pill” which contains a tiny camera.  The footage you will watch is the stomach trying to break down both the fresh and processed noodles, at different time intervals.

Dr. Kuo, discusses the results and what it may indicate about chemical preservatives staying in the digestive tract for prolonged periods of time.  There need to be larger, longitudinal studies done concerning the consumption of this chemical in foods to determine it’s carcinogenic potential.

Studies dosing lab animals with higher doses of TBHQ does indicate the potential for forming cancerous stomach tumors, which on a personal note gives me pause.  Whether the amounts found in ramen noodles and many other processed foods is deemed safe, the option to eat fresh food that doesn’t contain this chemical seems like a “no-brainer”.

Dad Slices Open A Wasps Nest In Front of Them. What He Reveals Inside Is So Awesome!

There is something so mysterious and intriguing about what lies inside of things that we are usually not privy to.  Dan and his son Lincoln have created a YouTube Channel named, “What’s Inside”, where they open up all kinds of things together to discover what lies inside.  In the video you are about to watch below, we join them in discovering what lurks inside of a WASP’S NEST!

Obviously they were not going to go near a live nest, so they ordered one that was no longer inhabited, from eBay.  I find it so admirable that Dan has been sharing his curiosity with Lincoln, in exploring such fascinating things, by doing these in home “science projects”.  There is nothing better that a parent can model and offer a child, than the fostering of intrinsic curiosity about the world in general, and more specifically in the workings of nature.

After unpacking the wasp’s nest, you will see Dan begin the process of cutting open the nest, as Lincoln and his friend seem to be having a mixture of anticipatory excitement and a bit of squeamish fear.  I myself, watched with baited breath, as the cutting open of the nest proceeded.  Lincoln is a little bit afraid that there still might be a live hornet inside, despite the fact that they have been assured there is not.

When the cutting process is finished their gasps of amazement at the intricacy of the internal structure, matched my own.  Nature is just so fascinating, and the building capacity of the insect kingdom, is truly mind-boggling to view.  Get ready for some really amazing footage!
