Simple exercise could slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, new study reveals
A study by researchers from two universities found that even low-intensity exercise (like stretching) and moderate-high intensity aerobic workouts help preserve brain health in older adults at risk of Alzheimer’s. Nearly 300 sedentary adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were split into two exercise groups (low vs. moderate-high intensity) and showed no cognitive decline over […]

Study: Microplastic contamination in human brains has increased 50 percent between 2016 and 2024
A study in Nature Medicine reveals a 50 percent surge in microplastic contamination in human brains between 2016 and 2024, with brain tissue containing nearly 8 times more plastic than the liver or kidneys. Microplastics in dementia patients’ brains were 5x higher than in healthy brains, with sharp plastic shards found near inflamed areas tied […]

Study: Even moderate drinking damages the brain and increases dementia risk
A new study confirms that even moderate alcohol consumption (seven drinks per week) increases the risk of brain lesions linked to dementia, challenging the notion that light drinking is harmless. Heavy drinking (more than eight drinks weekly) raises the risk by 133 percent. Researchers identified two key markers of brain damage caused by drinking, namely, […]

Study: Daily soda habit linked to 5x higher risk of ORAL CANCER in women
A newly published 30-year study found that women who drank one or more sugary sodas daily had a 4.87 times higher risk of developing oral cavity cancer, with nonsmokers/nondrinkers (alcohol) facing a 5.46 times higher risk. Sugary beverages are now identified as a major risk factor for oral cancer, potentially explaining rising cases among low-risk […]

Studies strongly suggest taurine supplementation can promote longevity
Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid naturally produced in the body and found in animal-based foods. It plays key roles in energy production, bile acid processing and maintaining fluid and mineral balance. Animal studies suggest taurine may improve bone density, reduce blood sugar, enhance muscle strength and extend one’s lifespan. Human studies indicate taurine reduces […]

Study finds commonly used herbicide atrazine accelerates the aging of brain cells
A recent study reveals that atrazine, a widely used herbicide in the U.S., may accelerate brain cell aging and increase the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s by damaging neurons and prematurely aging stem cells in the hypothalamus. Atrazine is the second-most used herbicide globally, with over 70 million pounds applied annually in the […]

Study finds harmful “forever chemicals” in wristbands
A study published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters revealed that certain high-end wristbands contain alarmingly high levels of perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), a type of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Researchers tested 22 wristbands from various brands and found that the median concentration of PFHxA was nearly 800 parts per billion (ppb), with one sample […]

Study: Long-term exposure to common air pollutants linked to higher risk of deadly blood clots
A 17-year study of over 6,600 adults in six major U.S. cities reveals a significant association between long-term exposure to air pollutants and an increased risk of blood clots in deep veins, known as venous thromboembolism. The study identifies fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen oxides as the main pollutants linked to a heightened […]

Conan the Bacterium: Researchers study microbe that can withstand extremely high radiation doses
Researchers have unraveled the mysteries of Deinococcus radiodurans, a microbe that can withstand extremely high radiation doses. The bacterium’s resilience is due to a combination of manganese ions, phosphate and a small peptide that forms a powerful antioxidant called MDP. MDP could protect astronauts from cosmic radiation during deep-space missions, but the safety of introducing […]

Study finds so-called “greener” alternatives to plastic straws contain harmful PFAS
A recent study has found that supposedly “greener” alternatives to plastic straws contain just as much per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), if not more. This is part of a wider study looking at how many reusable plastic products used by the food industry contain PFAS, a group of synthetic pollutants known to be harmful to wildlife, […]
