Dear President Joe Biden,
During your campaign, you promised to follow the science. Well, now s your chance. The recommendations for added sugar in the 2020-2025 USDA dietary guidelines released under the Trump administration follow the sugar industry, the processed food industry, and the money. These recommendations fly in the face of science, and will continue to cause significant harm to American children and adults, with unfortunate health and financial ramifications for years to come.
It is in the best interest of Americans that you amend this decision by reducing the USDA guideline s added sugar quota to less than 6% of total calories, from its current level of 10%, and give Americans a fighting chance at health. Reducing sugar consumption is essential to improving the health and productivity of all Americans.

E., so named in relation to the first letter of oblivion, explained to the neurologist how bad his memory was. A few months ago it was often forgotten which object he was looking for in a drawer that was already rotating its contents. It was also common not to remember what he had been doing in the rooms of his house as soon as he entered.
E. tried to limit these errors in time. But one fact shook him very much. During a conversation with a distant friend, he stopped focusing on the words that were being spoken to him. His efforts were aimed at remembering the name of the interlocutor. He thought this failure was very serious, having attended this acquaintance’s wedding reception a year ago.

Links between cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline may begin in midlife before the first clinical symptoms of either condition appear, cross-sectional data from a cohort study suggested.
Middle-age cardiovascular risk largely driven by hypertension was associated with brain hypometabolism, an imaging marker of neurodegeneration, according to Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, of Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) in Madrid, Spain, and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, and colleagues.
Subclinical carotid plaque burden also was tied to reduced brain metabolism independent of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking, they reported in the When brain metabolism declines, the brain s ability to handle adverse events can be compromised. Depending on the brain area affected, this can lead to a range of distinct problems, co-author Marta Cortes-Canteli, PhD, also of CNIC, said in a statement.
