☆ I bathed in cheese in the Swiss mountains — here's what the experience was like
▼ + stars: | 2019-08-22 | by ( Charlie Floyd | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

The experience of bathing in whey, a byproduct of cheese manufacture, dates back to the 1800s. Traditional Swiss dairy Alpkäserei Gerschnialp produces 35 tons of cheese a year, using milk from nearby dairies. Local producer Sälmi Töngi offers the whey baths as an add-on to a tour of his cheese production. The dairy uses traditional methods to turn local milk into four different types of Swiss cheese. That makes about 350,000 kilos of cow's milk, which is about 32 tons of cheese.

ShutterstockGoop recently made headlines for selling a $66 jade egg meant to be placed inside the vagina and squeezed using a series of muscle contractions. Is is true that having a strong pelvic floor leads to stronger orgasms, and using a jade egg might strengthen those key muscles. But a $66 jade egg is not the only way to achieve this.

While we know parrots can mimic human language, studies show they actually have an understanding of that language. It also becomes difficult to compare between species since most intelligence tests or tasks are designed for specific animals. Animals evolve certain kinds of cognitive abilities to deal with pressures in their natural habitat, said Virginia Morell, author of "Animal Wise." We also tend to underestimate the brainpower of animals by relying too much on intelligence tests based on what humans are capable of. The good news is "we're getting a better idea of how animals think and experience the world," Morrell said.
