9 January 2019 - Science Daily - Carrots or candy bars? Context shapes choice of healthy foods
Given a choice between indulgent and healthy foods, what will most people pick? The answer may depend on what foods sit nearby on the grocery shelf, suggests new research. Paradoxically, the nearby presence of an indulgent treat such as Snickers or Oreos can cause more people to opt for a healthy food, such as salmon or grapefruit. Context, in other words, affects food choices.
Let them eat more fat? Researcher argues that a balance of types of fat is the key
Public health guidelines, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, have long emphasized reducing dietary fat intake, but nutritionists and other health scientists now have more recent evidence that not all fats have adverse effects.

The Mind-Gut Connection - and Salt?
We have long been told to eat less salt as a high salt diet can lead to high blood pressure, which in turn is a risk factor for a host of health problems including heart disease and stroke. But did you know that, more recently, a high salt diet has been linked to stroke and overall brain health, regardless of the presence of high blood pressure?
Mouse Study: Common Fungus Can Lead to Brain Infection, Memory Problems
A new study finds that the common yeast Candida albicans, a type of fungus, can cross the blood-brain barrier and trigger an inflammatory response leading to the formation of granuloma-type structures and temporary mild memory impairments in mice. These granulomas share features with plaques found in Alzheimer’s disease.
