“Yet, though our summers change and pass away -
Though dies the beauty of the hill and plain -
Though warmth and colour fade with every day -
Hope passes not, and something seems to say
That all our brightest joys shall come again." - 'October' by George Arnold. #nature#poetry

The Old English word “sla” (sloe), the name for the blackthorn tree’s fruit, is derived from the ancient Proto-Indo-European word “sliwo-” meaning “bluish” and is descriptive of the fruit’s colour. “Livid”, meaning “of a bluish colour, black-and-blue”, evolved from the same word.

Oh dear. High-dose linoleic acid (the ω-6 fatty acid in 'seed oils') may contribute to PCOS by inducing ovarian inflammation and cell death.
In a lab study, linoleic acid was found to bind estrogen receptors, activate the FOXO1 gene, increase oxidative stress, and ultimately induce ovarian cell apoptosis. https://t.co/3AuQIlbF36
