High coffee intake, however, is linked to a faster decline in cognitive function. | | | | |  Investigating vegetable oils, this study reveals their effects on skin cell proliferation and migration, emphasizing the role of fatty acid composition. | | | | | A new study from researchers at the Indiana University Paul H. O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the University of Notre Dame shows that per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS)-also known as "forever chemicals"-can be found in reusable feminine hygiene products. | | | | |  This study reveals how probiotic bacteria directly influence brain cell function, highlighting gut-brain communication and potential therapeutic applications. | | | | |  Gut fungal communities may impact multiple sclerosis severity, offering new insights into MS pathogenesis and potential microbiome-based treatment strategies. | | | | |  A new study has found that the bone fracture protection women get from menopausal hormone therapy (MHT, also known as HRT) disappears within a year of stopping treatment. | | | | |  LaShae Rolle, 27, is a competitive powerlifer who could squat 441 pounds, bench 292 pounds and deadlift 497 pounds.
