- Pickles fight cavities. We’re living in an era of pickle love. Whether it’s potato chips, cotton candy, Twinkies, ice cream, or something else, pickle lovers around the world are taking a stance and inserting the fermented cucumbers into zany and bold new food concoctions… Pickles also have a number of health benefits. It’s why some sports drinks are made with pickles, because they contain electrolytes and potassium that can help relieve muscle cramps. Pickles are rich in probiotics — healthy, live bacteria and yeast — which aid in gut health and digestion, too, and make for an effective hangover cure… And now there’s another reason to add more pickles to your diet: They can fight cavities. A new study has found that the probiotics in pickles and other fermented vegetables can prevent tooth decay and thwart the oral bacteria that causes cavities. The study was done in China on rats and human studies on the efficacy of fighting cavities with pickles still need to be done, but the results of the rat study are encouraging.

A recent study found that many hard drives purchased second-hand, on sites like Craigslist and eBay, routinely contain sensitive or confidential data.
