  • Could the human race become infertile?

    Could the human race become infertile?
    Jun 25 2026
    In April 2023, the World Health Organization released a new report on infertility, which said that around one in sex people worldwide experience infertility at some point in their lives. The WHO’s Director-General labelled the phenomenon a major health issue and called for more research in an area that is “still under-studied…and insufficiently funded”. The sheer proportion of affected individuals shows the need to expand access to fertility-related care and ensure that this issue is no longer sidelined in health research and policies. The WHO review was based on 133 fertility studies dating between 1990 and 2021, and showed that no region of the world is spared. What are the causes of such high levels of infertility? What treatments are currently available for people with infertility problems? What could the consequences be? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Oh and of course we’ve heard that terrible things can happen if you swallow chewing gum. You could get appendicitis, the gum could stay stuck in your stomach for years, blocking your intestines. So, are they old wives’ tales or should you really be afraid? What’s actually in chewing gum then? Are there any health risks associated with chewing gum? What about if you accidentally swallow a piece of gum then?

  • What is the placebo effect and how does it work?

    What is the placebo effect and how does it work?
    Jun 25 2026
    The placebo effect is a phenomenon in which a person's symptoms or well-being improve after receiving a fake treatment that has no specific or intrinsic effect on their condition. For example, a person may feel less pain after taking a sugar pill that they believe is a painkiller, or they may feel more energetic after receiving an injection of saline solution that they think is a vitamin. The placebo effect is not just about positive thinking or wishful thinking. It involves complex psychological and physiological mechanisms that are not fully understood. How does the placebo effect work? What are the benefits of the placebo effect? What are the limitations of the placebo effect? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
