The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that it’s moving forward to permit the use of 10 new pesticide products that contain the insecticide isocycloseram.[1][2]Farmers can potentially use the pesticides in numerous ways, including to kill pests on agricultural crops such as potatoes, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale, and citrus.“No human health risks of concern were identified when isocycloseram is used according to the registered labels,” the EPA noted.[1]However, many environmental experts and advocates have been loudly critical of this decision because, they say, isocycloseram contains harmful PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they…
A few years ago, my husband suggested I make a big pot of soup on Sundays so we could eat leftovers for lunch throughout the week. It may have been the best idea he’s ever had (shhh, don’t tell him). While I have no trouble making a pot of soup without a recipe, using whatever we have on hand in the fridge and pantry, I do like to use recipes, too, especially when I feel like I’m in a rut. Since I’ve worked for EatingWell for almost 20 years (!), I’ve developed, tested and tasted dozens of soup recipes over…

Be the first to rate & review! This frosty spin on classic hot chocolate delivers all the rich, cocoa-forward flavor you love, no stovetop required. Dates create a naturally sweet, caramelly base that blends beautifully with bittersweet chocolate and creamy Greek-style yogurt for a milkshake-like texture. A hint of peppermint gives each sip a cooling lift, but it’s just as delicious without it. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa for a festive experience. Published on December 8, 2025
Key Takeaways Long-term memory lets you remember things for days, years, or even a lifetime.There are two main types of long-term memory: explicit and implicit.Repeating and thinking about memories makes them stronger and easier to recall.

Creatine is being explored for a wide range of uses, including cognition and brain health, age-related declines in skeletal muscle and bone mineral density, skin aging, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia.[4][5] Many of these conditions are experienced by women in perimenopause and menopause.“During perimenopause, women experience hormonal shifts that can impact energy levels, bone health, and muscle mass,” says Bonnie Jortberg, PhD, RDN, an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “Taking a creatine supplement may help to mitigate some of these symptoms and physiological changes.”Research suggests that women may benefit from creatine supplements…
