San Francisco-based ZBiotics and Swedish company De Faire Medical AB promote their products “Pre-Alcohol” and “Myrkl” as pre-drinking solutions. The supplements contain live bacteria designed to process acetaldehyde, a carcinogenic byproduct created when the body metabolizes alcohol that contributes to hangover symptoms like nausea and stomach discomfort.

Scientists at Kyoto University have discovered that chimpanzees, like humans experiencing contagious yawning, tend to urinate when they observe their peers doing the same. The research, published in Current Biology, reveals new insights into primate social behavior and its evolutionary significance. The study originated from observations at Kumamoto Sanctuary in Japan, where researchers noticed that captive chimpanzees appeared to urinate simultaneously. Ena Onishi from Kyoto University’s Wildlife Research Centre led the investigation, noting in Cosmos magazine, “Since there were no prior studies on contagious urination in any species, we drew parallels to contagious yawning, another semi-voluntary physiological behavior.” The research

Experts say scientific research has definitively debunked the long-held belief that yawning occurs when our brains need more oxygen. This revelation comes amid a growing understanding of yawning as a complex physiological mechanism that may serve multiple important functions in human biology. Research dating back to the 1980s demonstrated that exposure to pure oxygen or high carbon dioxide concentrations had no meaningful impact on yawning frequency. “The brain is still a black box,” said Mark Andrews, chair of physiology at Duquesne University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine, highlighting the continuing mystery surrounding this universal human behavior.
