| Scientists Uncover Potential Brain Risks of Popular Fish Oil Supplements |
|
|
2026-04-19 10:18:18 +00:00
 Fish oil supplements may not always support brain recovery, as EPA was linked to impaired healing after repeated mild brain injuries. The findings suggest omega-3 effects are context-dependent and not universally beneficial. Fish oil, a supplement made from fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel, is widely used for its omega-3 fatty acids, nutrients linked [...]

| Scientists Rethink Extreme Warming After Surprising Ocean Discovery |
|
|
2026-04-18 17:21:41 +00:00
 Researchers have applied a temperature proxy to exceptionally well-preserved fossil phytoplankton for the first time. The results suggest that conditions in the North Atlantic have been cooler than previously believed since the Miocene epoch. Accurate forecasts of how Earth’s climate will respond to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide depend on climate models. To test and refine [...]

2026-04-18 12:55:24 +00:00
 A large, decades-long study of over 390,000 U.S. adults challenges a widespread assumption about daily multivitamins. Multivitamins are a daily habit for millions of Americans, often taken with the expectation that they will extend life or prevent disease. But one of the largest and longest-running studies to examine this belief suggests otherwise. Researchers analyzed data [...]
