The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of frozen supplemental shakes distributed to hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other institutions. The frozen shakes are linked to a listeria outbreak that has caused 37 hospitalizations and 11 deaths. “The FDA and CDC, in collaboration with state and local partners, are investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial Frozen Supplemental Shakes,” the FDA announced. “According to CDC, this outbreak includes cases dating back to 2018, with 20 cases across 2024 and 2025, and is currently ongoing. Epidemiologic evidence in previous investigations were unable to identify a source of the outbreak. As of February 21, 2025, a total of 38 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from 21 states,” the announcement continued. “Of the 38 people for whom information is available, 37 people have been hospitalized. Eleven deaths have been reported. Of the 38 people for whom information is available, 34 (89%) reported living in long term care facilities or were hospitalized prior to becoming sick. Records reviewed from facilities indicated nutritional shakes were available to residents,” it added.

The CDC had previously begun tracking the same outbreak in 2018, with 20 cases cropping up throughout 2024 and 2025. During the prior investigations, epidemiologists were unable to identify the source of the illnesses. Current case numbers include those that occurred between the initial 2018 incident and now, as the outbreak is ongoing. At least 11 deaths reported in listeria outbreak linked to recalled supplemental shakes, FDA says https://t.co/ljI2ZpIINl — KING 5 News (@KING5Seattle) February 22, 2025 The Food and Drug Administration issued an alert stating that it is investigating a deadly outbreak of listeria illnesses linked to frozen supplemental shakes.According to the FDA, … https://t.co/Iukwzlh9Aj — WRTV Indianapolis (@wrtv) February 22, 2025 CBS News reports: Listeria symptoms usually begin within two weeks after eating food contaminated with the bacteria but may start as soon as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after, according to the FDA on its website. Mild symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, among others. If a more severe form develops, symptoms may include headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, the FDA says. Listeria is most likely to sicken pregnant women and newborns, adults aged 65 or older and people with weakened immune systems. Anyone with symptoms is encouraged to call their healthcare provider.

The King of UFOs, a captivating new documentary, dives into the British Royal Family’s longstanding intrigue with UFOs, crop circles, and paranormal phenomena. Directed and written by ufologist and author Mark Christopher Lee, the documentary reveals claims from a palace insider that the late Queen Elizabeth II was briefed on the famous Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident of 1980. This event, which took place at the RAF Bentwaters airbase in Suffolk, involved a reported UFO landing and interacting with US military personnel. Often referred to as “The British Roswell,” the incident has long been a subject of intrigue. According to the palace insider, Queen Elizabeth II was briefed by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1983 following a headline that read: “UFO Lands in Suffolk.” Thatcher allegedly told the Queen that the truth behind the event was so extraordinary that it could never be revealed to the public. Lee explains: “What this insider has shared with me aligns with what the late ufologist and author Georgina Bruni learned from Margaret Thatcher during an informal conversation. “Thatcher told Bruni, ‘You can’t tell the people!’ This led Bruni to believe that the events at Rendlesham were so bizarre and frightening that the official story would never be made public. “Bruni even speculated that the entity that interacted with US servicemen could have been from either the future or another dimension. Did Margaret Thatcher share this information with the late Queen?” The documentary also features an interview with retired CID police officer John Hanson, who became a UFO researcher after a colleague encountered a UFO firsthand. Hanson went on to investigate the Rendlesham Forest incident and co-authored two books about it with Colonel Charles Halt, the Deputy Commander of the base at the time. Hanson even sent these books to the Queen and Prince Philip, who responded by saying they were adding them to their personal UFO collection. Hanson remained in correspondence with the royal family until the Queen’s passing and was convinced that both she and Prince Philip had a deep and genuine interest in UFOs. Lee further elaborates: “The Rendlesham UFO story is, without a doubt, the British Roswell. However, I doubt we’ll ever see full disclosure from either the UK or US governments, because the truth is far stranger than a simple spacecraft from another planet crashing in the forest. “The reality is that it’s simply too bizarre for the public to accept. I’ve also recently spoken with Professor Simon Holland, a NASA advisor and former BBC Science Editor, who told me he has evidence that Meta and Mark Zuckerberg’s Breakthrough Listen project has detected an intelligent signal coming from Proxima Centauri. “We are not alone—but Zuckerberg refuses to release this information, fearing the impact it could have on society.”* Lee adds: “Who knows, maybe President Trump will release the files—along with the JFK assassination documents?” The King of UFOs is now streaming on Amazon Prime and Tubi.

Aliens likely resemble humans, a new study suggests, as scientists now believe life on Earth evolved in a standardised way that could repeat on other planets. This challenges the long-held “hard steps” theory, which posits that intelligent life is an “incredibly improbable” event. Researchers at The Pennsylvania State University argue that humanity’s evolution may be the “natural evolutionary outcome” for planets, increasing the likelihood of intelligent life elsewhere. Co-author Professor Jennifer Macalady stated: “This is a significant shift in how we think about the history of life. It suggests that the evolution of complex life may be less about luck and more about the interplay between life and its environment.” The study, published in Science Advances, proposes that Earth’s environment became “permissive” for key evolutionary steps, such as the oxygenation of the atmosphere, enabling complex life to develop. Lead author Dr. Dan Mills explained: “We’re arguing that intelligent life may not require a series of lucky breaks to exist. Humans didn’t evolve ‘early’ or ‘late’ in Earth’s history, but ‘on time,’ when the conditions were in place.” The team suggests that other planets might achieve these conditions faster or slower than Earth. The “hard steps” theory, developed by physicist Brandon Carter in 1983, claims that intelligent life is rare due to the improbability of steps like the origin of life and human intelligence. However, the Penn State team argues that Earth’s habitability evolved through “windows of habitability” driven by environmental changes, making humanity’s emergence a natural result. Study co-author Professor Jason Wright emphasized: “We should use a geological time scale, because that’s how long it takes for the atmosphere and landscape to change. If life evolves with the planet, it will evolve at a planetary pace.” The team plans to test their model by searching for biosignatures on exoplanets and studying life under varying environmental conditions. Prof. Macalady highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of the research: “Our fields were far apart, and we built a bridge to address how we got here and whether we are alone.” This new perspective suggests that intelligent life may be more common than previously thought, with evolution being a predictable process tied to planetary conditions.

A sudden burst of energy in the brain during death could hint at the “soul leaving the body,” according to Dr. Stuart Hameroff, a professor at the University of Arizona. Researchers have long observed patients experiencing vivid hallucinations after clinical death, when the heart stops but the brain shows electrical activity. In 2009, George Washington University researchers studied seven clinically dead patients, detecting a surge of gamma waves—linked to perception and movement—lasting up to 90 seconds after the heart stopped. Hameroff suggested this could indicate the “near-death experience” or the “soul leaving the body.” The study involved patients aged 34 to 74 who chose to end life support. Hameroff proposed that consciousness operates at a deeper, possibly quantum level, involving microtubules—tiny protein structures in cells—rather than just neurons. This theory suggests consciousness is the “last thing to go” during death, as it may be a low-energy process. The researchers noted that as the brain loses oxygen, neurons lose electrical potential, triggering a cascade of activity that could explain vivid near-death visions. “As the brain reaches a critical level of hypoxia, the [action potential, an electrical signal that shoots down a neuron] is lost by large numbers of neurons, and this loss of electrical potential causes a cascade of electrical act,” the study researchers wrote. “We offer this as a potential explanation for the clarity in which many patients have ‘out-of-body experiences’ when successfully revived from a near-death event.”. Survivors of near-death experiences often report “out-of-body experiences” or visions of an afterlife, with 88% recalling at least one such event. The study suggests that brain activity during death can be eight times higher than in a conscious state, potentially explaining these phenomena. Hameroff also referenced a study by Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, which explored the effects of psilocybin, the compound in magic mushrooms, on brain activity. Despite expectations of heightened brain activity, MRI scans showed minimal changes, leaving researchers puzzled.
