90% use too much of a flavouring that can cause inflammation of blood vessels in the brain. A high-salt diet is linked to dementia, new research finds. Salt causes the delicate lining of the brain’s blood vessels to inflame, because of signals sent from the gut. Fully 90% of Americans consume above the recommended dietary maximum of 2,300 mg per day. Dr Costantino Iadecola, study co-author, said: “We discovered that mice fed a high-salt diet developed dementia even when blood…


Everyday items could be causing everything from mood swings to infertility and even cancer. Chemicals found in plastic water bottles, lipsticks, tampons, receipts and even tap water are wreaking havoc on people’s hormones, which is linked to a growing number of health problems.

North Americans believe they have less stamina for strenuous mental activity than their European counterparts – an indication that people in the U.S. perceive their willpower or self-control as being in limited supply, a new study suggests. More than 1,100 North Americans and 1,600 Europeans – including 775 Swiss and 871 German-speaking adults – participated in the study, which tested the validity of a widely used psychological assessment tool called the Implicit Theory of Willpower for Strenuous Mental Activities Scale….

Dr Alban Gaultier, who led the study, said: “The big hope for this kind of research is that we…

New study out of the journal Nitric Oxide links mouthwash use to diabetes. It sounds like one of those spurious correlations that show up whenever you sift through large piles of data, such as the supposed link between cheese consumption and death from bedsheet strangulation. But the results of a new epidemiological study linking mouthwash use and diabetes risk are – to all appearances, at least – a real effect, with fascinating implications for our understanding of the complex links…
