Drinking your own urine to be more attractive? Maybe we should start worrying seriously about the boys

SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 08:07

There are boys who are drinking their own urine with the belief that this will make them more attractive to girls. This practice, although it may seem absurd or comical at first glance, is presented in the article as a real and growing behavior among young males. The article warns that this is not an isolated trend, but part of a broader set of concerning behaviors.

In addition to the practice of drinking urine, many young people are rejecting basic hygiene care. There are reports of boys who go weeks without showering and without changing clothes, opting to maintain an appearance they consider natural or authentic, but which in reality represents a risk to health and to social relationships.

The article warns that considering this phenomenon as a laughing matter is a serious mistake. Although it may seem harmless or just strange, the author argues that these trends have real consequences and should be taken seriously. The central message is that it is necessary to genuinely worry about what is happening with these young people.

Brain cleansing may be linked to Alzheimer's and ALS

A study by the University of Barcelona, published in Acta Neuropathologica Communications, identified abnormal accumulations of brain waste (wasteosomes) in the fluid drainage pathways of 185 post-mortem donors diagnosed with Alzheimer's, ALS and frontotemporal lobar degeneration, suggesting a possible deficit in the glymphatic system — the mechanism responsible for eliminating toxic proteins such as beta-amyloid and tau. Although researchers and Portuguese neurologist Miguel Seabra caution that this is an association and not confirmed causality, the research opens the way for new early diagnosis strategies. In Portugal, the University of Coimbra is studying biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and blood, while FMUP and Hospital CUF Porto are investigating hematological markers, also using artificial intelligence to model the propagation of protein aggregates.

A new study reveals that the universe continues to form stars, but at an increasingly slower rate. Over the last 4.5 billion years, the star formation rate has dropped by approximately half, despite galaxies not having lost an equivalent amount of their main raw material. This discovery challenges the current understanding of why the large stellar factories of the cosmos are fading away.
