Pink Noise – Helpful or Harmful for Sleep?
Posted on March 19, 2026 - Health trends come and go. Who remembers the “master cleanse”? Or the weight loss pills of the ‘80s and ‘90s? Unfortunately, the internet and social media have lit a fire under many dubious wellness trends. Health misinformation is not new, but the speed at which these wellness trends spread online definitely is. Scientists regularly debunk these trends, which range from “probably not helpful”—think detox teas and waist trainers—to outright dangerous claims about raw milk or avoiding sunscreen.
“Because we feel that the work the Foundation does is so important, we would like to make a gift of stock in memory of my parents and to honor those who work in the Rice Estate skilled nursing area, the BeWell Home Services staff and the Lutheran Hospice group. Our hope is that our gift can help the Foundation continue providing wonderful experiences to other people like my parents were able to enjoy with their connection through the Rice Estate. God’s blessings!”
