Just watched “The deliverance” and I’m here to remind you that God really works!!! His word is alive and active. It’s sharper than a double-edged sword !!!
Hebrew 4:12.
I encourage you to have faith in Christ no matter your situation.

Germany’s food safety agency called this study’s lab method “completely unsuitable for testing for microplastics.” When they repeated the experiment properly, they found 1,000 times fewer particles.
Here’s what happened. The “11.6 billion particles” number comes from a single 2019 study at McGill University in Canada. The researchers steeped plastic tea bags in hot water, then evaporated all the water so they could examine what was left under an electron microscope. The problem is that when the water dried, dissolved chemical residue from the bag’s manufacturing process hardened into tiny specks. The microscope counted those dried-out specks as plastic particles, even though they were dissolved in the liquid like sugar dissolves in coffee. They were never actually floating around as pieces of plastic in your tea.
Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), their version of the FDA for food safety, caught this in 2020. They repeated the experiment but used a method that checks each particle one by one to confirm whether it’s actually plastic. They found 5,800 to 20,400 particles per bag. Not 11.6 billion.
A 2025 review paper co-authored by BfR researchers straight up called the original numbers “preparation artifacts,” meaning the particles only showed up because of how the lab samples were prepared, not because of the tea.
Two more things the tweet leaves out. First, the study only tested premium silky pyramid bags made from nylon and PET plastic. Those bags represent about 5% of the tea bag market. The flat rectangular tea bag most people actually use is made from wood pulp and abaca fiber, a plant from the banana family. Brands like Bigelow, Numi, Stash, Yogi, and Traditional Medicinals all use plant-based bags. Bigelow alone makes 2.2 billion tea bags a year with zero plastic.
Second, the total weight of all those “billions” of particles in the original study was 16 micrograms. That’s 16 millionths of a gram. A single grain of sand weighs about 50 times more.
No major health authority, not Germany’s BfR, not the European Food Safety Authority, not the WHO, has concluded that microplastics in food cause health problems at the levels people are currently exposed to.
The study is real. The number is probably wrong by a factor of 1,000. And it tested a product most tea drinkers don’t use.
I have tweeted this before and I will test it again.
I hope people are documenting these things for posterity sake.
I don't want people to be asking stupid questions like "how did we get here", five years from now.
Scientists put kids through 100 hours of reading, then scanned their brains. New wiring had physically grown inside the language regions. Communication between brain areas sped up by a factor of 10. Kids who didn't read showed zero change.
That was a 2009 Carnegie Mellon study. It gets wilder.
In 2013, Emory University scanned 19 students every morning for 19 straight days while they read one novel chapter each night. Mornings after reading, the brain areas responsible for understanding other people's emotions lit up with new connections. So did the region that processes physical sensation. Their brains were simulating what the characters felt, as if it were happening to them. Those changes stuck around for 5 days after they finished the book.
Now flip to scrolling. A massive review published in Psychological Bulletin last September pulled together 71 studies covering 98,299 people. Heavy short-form video use (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) showed a clear pattern: worse attention, weaker self-control, and more anxiety. Consistent across teenagers and adults, across every platform tested. Oxford didn't name "brain rot" its 2024 Word of the Year for nothing.
A 2024 brain wave study found that people hooked on short-form video had weaker activity in the front of the brain, the part that controls focus and impulse control. Separate brain scans showed the same thing: heavy scrollers had less activation in the exact regions that deep reading strengthens.
UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has been studying this for decades. Humans were never born to read. There's no gene for it. Reading is something we invented, and it hijacked neurons that were originally meant for recognizing faces. Over time, it built entirely new brain circuits connecting language, vision, and emotion. But those circuits only survive if you use them. Stop reading, and they fade. Wolf's conclusion is simple: screens built for speed produce a speed-wired brain. Books built for depth produce a depth-wired brain.
One honest caveat: most of these studies are snapshots, not long-term tracking. People who already struggle to focus might just prefer short videos. But the same pattern showing up across nearly 100,000 people is hard to shrug off.
The tweet repeats the line seven times. The research backs it up with brain scans, EEG data, and white-matter imaging across tens of thousands of people.

Research shows: the more plastic we produce, the faster human IQ drops. Micro- and nanoplastics affect our brains, fueling anxiety, memory loss, and poor focus. Sound familiar?

Microplastics have already been found in the placenta, where new life begins. Research shows that it affects the child even before birth. What consequences await the generation born in the age of plastic?

Iran has told you how to open it:
• Unconditionally withdraw from the Gulf
• Remove your bases from the region
• Apologise for your war crimes
• Guarantee no further aggression
• Pay reparations
In fairness, that’s a very reasonable request
