The website reports on the renaming of PCOS to PMOS, Neanderthals as the oldest dentists, and the discovery of a unique crystal from the first nuclear bomb test.
The claims were evaluated based on available evidence. The renaming of PCOS to PMOS is well-supported by multiple health sources, confirming the change. Neanderthals practicing dentistry 59,000 years ago is corroborated by archaeological findings, establishing them as the earliest known dentists. The formation of trinitite from the first nuclear bomb test is confirmed by multiple scientific sources. Lastly, the link between pollution and mental health issues is supported by emerging research, though it remains an area of ongoing study. Overall, the claims are largely supported by credible evidence.

True
Health
PCOS has been renamed to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS).
Multiple sources confirm that Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) has been renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to better reflect its multisystem nature. This change is reported by Pinnacle Fertility, Healthline, and Illume Fertility, indicating a consensus among health-related sources. No contradictory evidence was found.

Archaeology
Neanderthals were the world's oldest dentists by about 45,000 years.
Evidence from Scientific American, Archaeology News Online Magazine, and Science News supports the claim that Neanderthals practiced dentistry nearly 59,000 years ago, predating known dental practices in Homo sapiens by over 40,000 years. This suggests Neanderthals were indeed the earliest known dentists.

Archaeology
Neanderthals practiced dentistry in Siberia 60,000 years ago.
Multiple sources, including Live Science, Archaeology News Online Magazine, and Science News, confirm that a 59,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth from Siberia shows evidence of deliberate drilling, indicating early dental practices. This supports the claim that Neanderthals practiced dentistry in Siberia around 60,000 years ago.

Physics
The first nuclear bomb test spawned a unique crystal called 'trinitite'.
The claim is supported by multiple sources including Wikipedia, the Museum of Radiation and Radioactivity, and The Debrief, which confirm that trinitite is a glassy residue formed from the sand at the Trinity nuclear test site in 1945. This glass contains unique minerals and is used in nuclear forensic studies.

Health
Pollution may fuel depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems.
Research from Live Science, the Global Mental Health Action Network, and the American Psychiatric Association suggests a link between air pollution and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. These sources indicate that long-term exposure to pollutants like PM2.5 is associated with higher rates of psychiatric disorders, supporting the claim.
