Fecal transplants have emerged as a potential treatment for a wide range of conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes, and even depression. These so-called poop transplants have understandably received a lot of attention, but new research casts a bit of a wet blanket over the practice.

As a professional mattress tester, I’ve seen an upward trend in the past few years of people looking into organic mattresses, toppers, and sheets.

I mean, it sounds great for summer—just like a blanket that warms you up but in reverse. Sadly, these products don’t do what they claim.

How Theme Park Snack Culture Influenced the Movie Theater Popcorn Bucket Craze
