Bread is Killing you Slowly
Manufacturers process the grain to remove the bran and germ, resulting in white bread or white flour that has a finer, lighter texture and a longer shelf life. However, this process also removes most of the fiber, vitamins, and minerals, leaving behind only the endosperm which provides quick, easily digestible carbohydrates but little nutritional value. To address this, manufacturers now produce "enriched" flours by adding back some of the missing nutrients using supplements like folic acid and other B vitamins. However, it is important to note that these supplemental vitamins are not as effective as the naturally occurring ones found in unprocessed food sources, as the human body can typically absorb and process nutrients better from unprocessed sources.

If Humans Were Aliens
Consider the scenario of a world where humans are not actually humans, but rather extraterrestrial beings with the ability to effortlessly create entire universes and manipulate time. Such a reality could exist within an incredibly advanced civilization, surpassing even the theoretical Type 1-5 civilizations previously discussed. But what if we were to take it a step further and imagine a Type 6 or 7 civilization? What would life be like for these beings, and is such a level of advancement even possible? Furthermore, what would be the potential drawbacks of such a transformation? These are the questions posed by the hypothetical scenario of humans as aliens, and exploring their answers can provide insight into the possibilities and limitations of advanced civilizations.

The Truth About Dinosaurs
It has been widely believed that all dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago due to the impact of a massive asteroid, causing a mass extinction event. However, recent scientific findings challenge this notion. Contrary to popular belief, a particular species of dinosaur called theropods managed to survive. These theropods possessed unique characteristics such as feathers and hollow bones, enabling them to fly and escape the catastrophic aftermath of the asteroid impact. In fact, many scientists now propose that these theropod dinosaurs eventually evolved into birds, suggesting that dinosaurs are still present in our world today.
