Episode 52: In this episode, host Angie Gust talks about gel water.  Dr. Gerald Pollack, a biomedical engineering research scientist at the University of Washington, has done research on water and has discovered a “fourth phase” of water (gel water). It is said that your body absorbs it easier and quicker, leading to better hydration. Now turning to the environment. You likely know this, but the oceans have been and are currently in trouble. As discussed in a recent article, air temperatures haven’t reflected the true levels of energy being trapped by greenhouse gases because most of the increased heat has been sequestered away deep in the oceans; now the temperatures are reaching record levels at the surface of the ocean, causing serious negative effects.
