High Meat Consumption Linked To Lower Dementia Risk
Older people who eat large amounts of meat have a lower risk of dementia and cognitive decline than they should have with a gene that some link to increased risk.
The gene that has been linked to increased risk is Apolipoprotein E, which plays a role in the transport of cholesterol and fats in the brain and blood. The gene exists in three main variants: epsilon 2, 3 and 4. Since each person inherits two APOE genes, one from each parent, giving six possible genotypes): 2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 3/3, 3/4 and 4/4. In Sweden, where the study was done, approximately 30 per cent of the population are carriers of the gene combinations APOE 3/4 or APOE 4/4.

Electric Cars Hand Honda Their First Loss in 70 Years
Communist dictator-funded social activists are scrambling to do damage control again after Honda has followed GM, Hertz, and many others in declaring a giant loss due to their electric car business.
Because they assumed that every future President would be like Joe Biden and continue to mandate and subsidize it. That didn't happen. The Trump team surprised a lot of people by winning again in 2024 and while some of the decisions made by his employees have been opposed to legitimate science and health, he was not wrong on solar and electric cars.
Paid flaks kept saying electric cars are taking over the world, solar powering it was surpassing "fossil" fuels(1), it was cheaper than conventional energy, and better for the environment.
