Sweden Accuses Iran of Hacking into SMS Service

Iranian hackers, under the direction of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), executed a cyberattack on a Swedish SMS service, sending around 15,000 text messages across Sweden. 

These messages called for revenge against those responsible for Quran burnings in 2023, an act which was intended to destabilize and polarize Swedish society by painting Sweden as an Islamophobic country. 

Despite identifying the culprits, Swedish authorities noted the slim chances of prosecuting those responsible due to their actions being carried out for a foreign power, Iran.

Back in the 1990s, Franco Cavaleri was an undergrad and a competitive bodybuilder. He'd won several local and regional bodybuilding championships and was training for something bigger.

As a competitive athlete, Franco took many supplements. He took huge amounts of curcumin, for example, because it helped reduce muscle soreness and inflammation so he could train harder. But at one point, there was a shortage of curcumin, so he stopped taking it.

Within a few weeks, he started feeling aches and pains in his muscles. He also had terrible pains in his stomach.

Well, Franco thought back to his training. He remembered taking large amounts of curcumin and wondered if there was a connection. He began taking it again. Within weeks, he was back to training.

One year later, Franco won the Mr. North America International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness championships in his weight class! And he was able to overcome his stomach problems.

Franco decided to make nutrition his life's work. He started working towards a PhD in Experimental Medicine. In particular, he wanted to know why curcumin helped his inflammatory condition so much.

As part of his work, Franco "mapped" the pharmacology of curcumin. And he discovered something amazing…

Curcumin, as you may know, is the active ingredient in turmeric, a popular spice that gives curry its distinctive color. Turmeric has been used for centuries in Ayervedic and Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory.

Franco discovered that curcumin is really comprised of 3 separate compounds: curcumin I (diferuloylmethane), curcumin II (desmethoxycurcumin), and curcumin III (bis-desmethoxycurcumin). And they don't work the same way.
