Harvard Medical School has just revealed a disturbing link between a popular food and rising cases of severe hearing issues, including tinnitus.
It turns out this everyday food contains alarming levels of a hazardous compound found in nearly 87% of those struggling with persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears.  Can you guess it? A) Aged Cheese (Cheddar) B) Processed Meats C) Dark Chocolate D) Pickles (Fermented Cucumbers) E) Canned Tuna Recent studies show that this hazardous compound accumulates in our bodies over time... Interfering with key brain functions that protect our hearing health and inner ear balance. Not only does it contribute to that frustrating "ringing" sensation, but it's also a newly uncovered root cause of more severe hearing difficulties as we age. And if you think it must be the processed foods... ...you might be in for a surprise. This hearing-harming food may shock you.  ee is a perennial plant with an elongated stem, or trunk, usually supporting branches and leaves. In some usages, the definition of a tree may be narrower, e.g., including only woody plants with secondary growth, only plants that are usable as lumber, or only plants above a specified height. Wider definitions include taller palms, tree ferns, bananas, and bamboos. Trees are not a monophyletic taxonomic group but consist of a wide variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches as a way to tower above other plants to compete for sunlight. The majority of tree species are angiosperms or hardwoods; of the rest, many are gymnosperms or softwoods. Trees tend to be long-lived, some trees reaching several thousand years old. The earliest trees evolved around 400 million years ago, and it is estimated that there are around three trillion mature trees in the world currently. A tree typically has many secondary branches supported clear of the ground by the trunk, which typically contains woody tissue for strength, and vascular tissue to carry materials from one part of the tree to another. For most trees the trunk is surrounded by a layer of bark which serves as a protective barrier. Below the ground, the roots branch and spread out widely; they serve to anchor the tree and extract moisture and nutrients from the soil. Above ground, the branches divide into smaller branches and shoots. The shoots typically bear leaves, which capture light energy and convert it into sugars by photosynthesis, providing the food for the tree's growth and development. Trees usually reproduce using seeds. Flowering plants have their seeds inside fruits, while conifers carry their seeds in cones, and tree ferns produce sp  |
