X-ray science is looking for the answers as to why chocolate, cheese and other fatty foods taste so good; and how these tastes can be mimicked by healthier alternatives. Read More
Researchers report hundreds of genes that affect neurological function can be damaged by fructose. However, it may be possible to reverse some of the changes by adopting a diet rich in DHA. Read More
Researchers discover accumulations of fatty acids in the brains of patients who have died from Alzheimer's disease. They propose the accumulation could accelerate the disease. Read More
