New research hints at a few ways fatty foods affect cells in the brain, a finding that could help explain the link between a high-fat diet and impaired memory—especially as we age. The study of cell cultures found the omega-3 fatty acid DHA may help protect the brain from an unhealthy diet's effects by curbing fat-induced inflammation at the cellular source. Separate experiments using brain tissue from aging mice showed a high-fat diet may lead specific brain cells to overdo cell-signaling management in a way that interferes with the creation of new memories. For this work, the researchers focused on...

President Trump is in the news again (which isn’t news, for what it’s worth). He was sued by some crazy Karen over sexual misconduct allegations. While the jury ruled that he hadn’t done anything wrong, they still found him civilly liable. Kangaroo court, anyone?
