Wow, just googled and found an NIH study on this. So does a saltwater rinse kill the bacteria that can make its way to your brain? It’s very hard to know what the best thing to do for your health actually is.

I also assume they got beaten to the real spelling by a different copyright or something else implying a knock off of someone else's IP. Not always true I know but that's where the monkey brain goes.

you know barely, but you do

it's like if the road you usually take to go to work is suddenly destroyed, so you're forced to take another one that you've almost never taken before, but you're pretty sure it arrives in the same place, eventually. Maybe it's twice as long or it goes through the Irish part of town, but it gets there.

When your brain gets damaged it stops being able to recall certain pieces of information but not others, some of its roads are broken and others aren't, so it has to work with what's left.

Memory is a network, you can completely forget certain things or skills or events while perfectly remembering others. the part of your brain that held "words I commonly use" gets damaged so it resorts to alternatives that is pretty sure mean the same thing

Mylk is actually an outdated way of spelling milk in English, long before vegan proudcts were a thing. Now it's used for any plant-based milk since the spelling had been updated.

Probably that's broadly true, but I know my dad is obsessed with oral hygiene (to the point he'll randomly text me or my sister and be like 'remember to floss!') But he's sedentary, obese, drinks too much, and eats a high salt, high saturated fat diet. So there are definitely cases where oral hygiene isn't indicative of general self- care and wellness.
