- Dairy consumption linked to lower dementia risk in surprising new study
A large Swedish study suggests that some high-fat dairy foods are linked to a lower risk of dementia.Researchers in Sweden used data from the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort, which included 27,670 adults aged 45 to 73 in Malmö, Sweden.The team then conducted interviews, collected food diaries, and asked the patients questionnaires to calculate how much of each dairy product people ate per day. They also separated dairy into high-fat and low-fat types. High-fat cheese was defined as more than 20% fat, and high-fat cream as more than 30% fat.Participants joined the study between 1991 and 1996 and were followed for an average of 25 years afterward.LISTENING TO MUSIC AFTER 70 MAY CUT DEMENTIA RISK BY NEARLY 40%, NEW STUDY SUGGESTSThe main outcome they looked at was all-cause dementia, while Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) were studied separately.

- Ancient plague mystery cracked after DNA found in 4,000-year-old animal remainsLong before the Black Death killed millions across Europe in the Middle Ages, an earlier, more elusive version of the plague spread across much of Eurasia.For years, scientists were unsure how the ancient disease managed to spread so widely during the Bronze Age, which lasted from roughly 3300 to 1200 B.C., and stick around for nearly 2,000 years, especially since it wasn’t spread by fleas like later plagues. Now, researchers say a surprising clue may help explain it: a domesticated sheep that lived more than 4,000 years ago.Researchers found DNA from the plague bacterium Yersinia pestis in the tooth of a Bronze Age sheep discovered in what is now southern Russia, according to a study recently published in the journal Cell. It is the first known evidence that the ancient plague infected animals, not just people, and offers a missing clue about how the disease spread.SCIENTISTS CRACK THE CODE ON… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago
- Misunderstood illness leaves millions exhausted, with most cases undiagnosedFatigue can stem from a variety of illnesses and life stressors, but when that exhaustion lasts for months — often following an infection — it may indicate a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome.Approximately 3.3 million people in the United States currently have the syndrome, with about one in four people confined to their bed at some point during the illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Despite its prevalence, experts say it’s a poorly understood condition that is frequently missed by physicians, with past research suggesting that only about 15% of those affected are diagnosed correctly.FEELING EXTRA TIRED? THIS VIRUS COULD BE THE CULPRIT, STUDY SUGGESTSFormally known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a chronic disease that causes fatigue so severe that it impairs the ability to perform daily activities.The National Academy of Medicine defines the syndrome as having the following three symptoms that last… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago
