Neuroscience is still in its infancy, despite claims by people using fMRI to suggest links between lots of things, but a few things are established, like that fear 'resides' in the amygdala.

Linking that same part of the brain to obesity in mice, and therefore humans, in a new paper warrants more skepticism. Mice are, as famously stated when science was science, not tiny people. We do have things in common with mice, just like we share 60% of our DNA with bananas, but no one suggests their study on bananas has 'implications' for humans the way every trial lawyer running a grift and wanting to sue an agriculture company suggests about mouse models.

When the federal government took over health care during the Obama years, a lot of promises were made while the concern when legislation was passed without knowing which parts of three competing plans would be implemented boiled down to high cost to get a million people insured who couldn't get insurance.

It ended up being worse than projected. Individual plans shot up 300% in just a few years and may never be affordable again. There are two big reasons the system is flawed, and they are why up to 40% of people will abandon their political party if a candidate on the other side says they want to fix the high cost of health care.(1)

A recently published study in a high-profile medical journal appeared to call into question the efficacy of colonoscopy, a proven and widely utilized strategy for the screening and prevention of colorectal cancer.

A metabolite that converts white fat cells (sometimes called “bad” fat) to brown fat (“good” fat) cells could lead to treatment metabolic conditions like cardiovascular disease plus lifestyle-preventable things like type 2 diabetes.

Obesity is best treated by caloric reduction and energy intake but it wouldn't exist at all if everyone could maintain energy homeostasis that easily, and obesity is fast closing on smoking as the top lifestyle disease killer in the world. Regardless of why diseases happen, with health care controlled by government a leaky bucket has become a leaky water tower, so more ways to prevent disease will keep people out of emergency rooms - and that is where everyone goes because a doctor visit can't happen for a month.

Patients with myocarditis can experience chest pains, shortness of breath or an irregular heartbeat. In severe cases, the inflammation can lead to heart failure and death.

In some instances, primarily with teenage boys, myocarditis is one of the complications associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. A new study shows that if it is likely to happen, it is a far worse risk actually getting the SARS-CoV-2 infection. 

The United States has some of the cleanest air in the world, at least when it comes to actual dangerous smog, PM₁₀ - particulate matter 10 microns in size. It is a clear killer, at one point leading to the deaths of over 10,000 in London during a weather anomaly that caused it to stay low.
