A recent study out of Japan has found that when exposed to pictures of stores and store products, people with kleptomania exhibit similar brain activity to that of people with substance addictions exposed to images of drugs.Continue ReadingCategory: Me… Continue reading Kleptomaniacs and drug addicts found to exhibit similar brain activity
Providing an infant with correct nutrition reduces morbidity and mortality rates, reduces chronic disease risk and promotes mental and physical development. But, according to a recent international study, many of the health and nutrition claims made on… Continue reading Don’t believe the label: No science behind bulk of baby formula claims
Biodiversity is the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms that gather in one area and work together to create an ecosystem that balances and supports life. In a new study, scientists from China, Europe and Australia have examined how ur… Continue reading Soil biodiversity could counter negative health impacts of urbanization
With the world focused on addressing climate change, scientists have had to get creative when it comes to developing sustainable building materials that tackle carbon dioxide emissions. Scientists have now devised a new way of engineering wood that mak… Continue reading Engineered wood is stronger, fights climate change by capturing CO2
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is responsible for around one-third of all deaths worldwide. A new longitudinal study has investigated the link between a commonly occurring oral bacteria and CHD, improving our understanding of how infection affects the de… Continue reading Link found between common mouth bacteria and heart disease
Space travel places great stress on the mind and body. With an eye on its implications for future space travel, a new study out of Belgium is the first to examine how flight that involves exposure to significant changes in g-forces impacts the function… Continue reading New study uses fighter pilots to learn how space travel affects the brain
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Whereas previous studies have considered the link between overall carbohydrate consumption and CVDs, a new UK study looked at whether the types of carbohydrates consumed impacted … Continue reading Kind of carbs more important than quantity for cardiovascular health
