Saturated Fat & Diabetes
A new study published in the journal Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology finds that not all saturated fatty acids have the same impact on risk for type 2 diabetes. The new study, called the EPIC-InterAct Study, was funded by the European Commission to investigate the relationship between nine different types of saturated fatty acids and the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
Loud Noise
A new study shows for the first time that prolonged exposure to loud noise changes how the brain processes speech, suggesting the damage such exposure causes is not limited to physical changes in the ear itself. According to the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, prolonged exposure to noise levels at 85 decibels and above increases people’s risk for hearing loss.
