Major scientific reviews and regulatory agencies find no convincing evidence that foods made from currently commercialized genetically modified (GM) crops are inherently more risky to human health tha...
There is no universally accepted specific antidote for cadmium (including cadmium chloride) poisoning; treatment is largely supportive and focused on preventing further exposure, with chelation showin...
Ancestry refers to genetic lineage and geographic origins and is increasingly used in genomics; race and ethnicity are social categories with distinct functions—race as a sociopolitical grouping linke...
Available sources agree there is no body of long-term, large-scale epidemiological studies that directly track human health outcomes from lifetime consumption of GM foods; major reviews and profession...
Large observational studies and regulatory reviews consistently find that the most commonly reported long-term issues after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination are , with serious long-term events being rare and...
Major scientific bodies and long reviews find no validated evidence that foods made from genetically modified (GM) crops are inherently less healthy than non‑GM foods . Concerns focus less on the gene...
Scientific and public-health bodies conclude that foods derived from currently marketed genetically modified (GM) crops are not more likely to present risks to human health than their conventional cou...
No credible evidence shows COVID-19 vaccines cause genetic mutations that lead to cancer; large reviews and expert panels found no mechanistic or epidemiological basis for such a claim. Recent isolate...
COVID-19 vaccines have been associated with a small number of —notably myocarditis, pericarditis, and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia—while large reviews and surveillance programs find but call for o...
Airbursts generally produce much less local, early fallout than ground or surface bursts because the fireball does not entrain large amounts of soil and debris; that reduces heavy, early-falling radio...
The scientific literature and major public health institutions largely conclude that foods derived from genetically modified crops are , based on multiple authoritative reviews and regulatory framewor...
SNAP (food stamps) serves tens of millions and skews heavily toward households with children: about 41.7 million people in 22.4 million households received SNAP in May 2025, and roughly 39–40% of SNAP...
Vaccines are overwhelmingly beneficial for population health, preventing millions of illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths, while carrying rare but real risks that are generally well-characterized a...
Scientific consensus across major reviews and expert panels is that currently approved genetically modified (GM) foods on the market do not pose unique, widespread health risks compared with conventio...
Available large studies and meta-analyses consistently show that COVID‑19 infection carries a higher absolute risk of myocarditis than COVID‑19 vaccination and that vaccination does not increase, and ...
Human activities—especially the burning of fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gases—are the primary cause of the observed global warming of the past century, a conclusion affirmed repeatedly by major s...
Available reporting shows overwhelming agreement among climate scientists that recent warming is driven mainly by human greenhouse-gas emissions; major syntheses state it is “unequivocal” and U.S. and...
Terrain, buildings and weather markedly change how a 1‑megaton airburst’s blast travels: ridges and concave relief can shield or focus pressure, buildings reflect and channel shock to amplify local lo...
Peer‑reviewed and expert reports generally find that undocumented immigrants have a small net positive fiscal effect at the federal level over long horizons, while impacts vary widely by state and on ...
Regulatory bodies and professional organizations have driven nursing’s move toward degree-based credentials through regulatory standards, quality indicators, and advocacy for higher educational prepar...
