The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night. He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask. Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick! There was a super thin body under the mask! Could this be a clone of Nikocado? Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting? Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan. At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead." He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Last year, the Dr. Oz show spearheaded a 21 day vegan challenge experiment to examine the effects that going meat free had on people’s bodies. Four meat and dairy loving women participated in the challenge. Before they began the challenge, the women were ordered to go to bio reference labs for blood work to determine their initial blood pressure, weight and cholesterol levels.
The women experienced some challenges as the foods that they usually ate were swapped out for a meatless substitute. One woman had an issue with the taste of the dairy free half and half that she started using in her coffee while another experienced a challenge preparing food separately for her family who are meat eaters. By week three, the women began experiencing changes in their bodies rather quickly. One woman experienced significantly less aches and pain, more energy and weight loss.
Dr. Oz discussed the results of the women’s health markers after completing the challenge and they were pretty significant. One woman lost a total of 10 lbs. Three out of the four women’s blood pressure improved. Three women also experienced lowered “bad cholesterol” levels. Dr. Oz interviewed two of the women who participated in the experiment. They initially expressed excitement and shock over their results and were very happy that they took part in the challenge. One was even eager to do it all over again!
Dr. Oz then stated that when he originally started his show, folks were surprised to learn that they could change hypertension levels solely by the food that they ate.
Later on in the episode, environmental reporter, Paul Greenberg confessed that plant based eating saved his life. He noted that after turning 50, his cholesterol was through the roof and he decided that he had to do something about it! He embarked on a plant-based diet for a year and his results were astounding. He cut out all animal products including dairy, meat, and etc. Greenburg's blood pressure went down 20 points and his bad cholesterol went down 50 points. He also lost 10 lbs and had a great deal of newfound energy. Greenberg achieved all of this without taking a single medication.
How does weight loss happen for people who embark on whole food plant based diets? The truth is that people who follow plant-based diets eat less, snack less and feel more full because foods tend to be high in fiber. You’ll experience feelings of satiety due to the amount of fiber in plant based or meat substitutes. When you feed your body the nutrients it needs, it will feel more full than if you had chowed down on foods baring empty calories or that lack proper nutrients. Greenberg said that he has since become a pescatarian and adopted fish back into his diet for omega 3 and B12 benefits. If you are vegan or vegetarian, it helps to incorporate a B12 and omega 3 supplement into your daily diet.

Madagascar developed an herbal drink and introduced it on April 20th. It is being hailed as a cure for COVID-19 in Africa.

Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models. During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives. This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer. Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table. We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered. After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!” Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month. A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat. Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles. Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions. The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings. The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms. The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking. The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
