Study shows wheat causes systemic immune response in non-celiac individuals with self-reported wheat/gluten sensitivity
http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2016/...4911469566225/

I haven't read the whole thing, but their conclusions support the hypothesis that wheat causes "leaky gut" in wheat-sensitive individuals and that a leaky gut is no bueno.
"In summary, the results of this study on individuals with sensitivity to wheat in the absence of coeliac disease demonstrate (1) significantly increased serum levels of sCD14 and LBP, as well as antibody reactivity to microbial antigens, indicating systemic immune activation; (2) an elevated expression of FABP2 that correlates with the systemic immune responses to bacterial products, suggesting compromised intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and increased microbial translocation; and (3) a significant change towards normalisation in the levels of the immune activation markers, as well as FABP2 expression, in response to the restrictive diet, which is associated with improvement in symptoms."
Non-celiac but still wheat-sensitive.
True, but still pretty significant given that non-celiac wheat sensitivity has been widely derided as being psychosomatic. I edited the OP to be more specific.

That mutant shit is dope
How do u know if you're a celiac?

Cute little study, but it's been performed previously ad nauseam.
The narrator fucked up, too, at a critical point.
I wonder how many 5 year projects under $180,000,000.00 (here in the US) we have?

I have DH (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis_herpetiformis) so it's rather obvious. Otherwise, blood tests for certain IgA antibodies and an intestinal biopsy.Quote:

New study says instead of 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe, the real number is closer to 2 trillion. 2 trillion galaxies! 100 billion stars in the average galaxy.

Thats almost as many stars as there are ATOMS in your body (10^24 vs 10^27).
^^^ That is fucking awesome.
intestinal biopsy! dang ... sounds lucrative for the doc
Update on ITER
"We expect first plasma in December 2025 and full power by 2035. For sure, that schedule is still challenging but it is the best technically achievable schedule, taking into account the financial constraints," Bigot told reporters during a visit to the ITER site in rural Cadarache.

I have been geeking out on planet nine speculation - so cool to think about this huge solar system influence that could be discovered in our lifetime.
Orbital mechanics makes my brainz hurt.

This video of a scale model of the solar system built in the desert is a must see, especially enhanced with a quality sativa.
Then think about something orbiting the sun 100 times further out.

The planet 9 stuff is way cool. It seems like it's only a matter of time now before they find it.
Wasn't the projected orbit 20k years? So we should find in the next couple thousandQuote:

I think that they base their assumptions on the effect of its gravity on other objects. If it is that hudge it has some big sway. The latest speculation on it being the force that has the sun slightly out of plane with our existing solar system makes sense to my feeble space mind.Quote:

As those observations stack up the model of its hypothetical orbit gets refined and the potential search area shrinks. There are also vast swathes of the sky in its potential orbit that have been surveyed in sufficient detail to rule out its presence there. There's also a good chance it's near its aphelion and only visible to a handful of the most powerful telescopes. The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_...rvey_Telescope) may end up playing a key role in finding it.Quote:

NASA has completed the $8.7 billion James Webb space telescope
Hubble's successor is ready for testing ahead of the October, 2018 launch.
https://www.engadget.com/2016/11/07/...ace-telescope/
The Hubble Space Telescope has given humanity unprecedented glimpses into the universe, but it will soon be replaced by a far more powerful model. NASA administrator Charles Bolden unveiled the completed $8.8 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which will be able to see the universe as it was 13 billion years ago. It's equipped with a 21-foot, gold-coated mirror array that can collect seven times more light than Hubble and scan the infrared spectrum to see through dust. "We've done two decades of innovation and hard work, and this is the result," project scientist John Mather says.
Fuck yeah. I can't imagine how nervous NASA is going to be when that thing launches.

Wow, Jack Horner must be excited. From your photo I thought it looked like feathers so Google and found the NG article.
^ Fist thing that came to mind when seeing it was the mosquito scene. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the age or even existence of the thing.
It is crazy that the ant is basically unchanged (at least in form) over ~100 million years.
That is amazingly cool. It sounds like the Burmese amber deposits that thing came from are a scientific bonanza: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2...nantiornithes/
That's so bad ass. I want to know when we can start booking reservations for the new Jurassic Park.
