Listen to this articleProduced by ElevenLabs and NOA, News Over Audio, using AI narration.In his final annual address to Congress, George Washington was convinced that America needed new colleges. Two institutions in particular occupied his mind: a national university and a military academy. “The desirableness of both these institutions has so constantly increased with every new view I have taken of the subject that I can not omit the opportunity of once for all recalling your attention to them,” Washington said in his speech. He was among a minority of the Founders—including Benjamin Rush, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison—who believed…
Whole Grains May Help Slow Memory Decline in Black People – A recent study published in the journal Neurology has uncovered a compelling association between whole grain consumption and memory decline among Black individuals. The study, which followed over 3,000 participants with an average age of 75 for six years, revealed that those who consumed more than three servings of whole grains daily experienced a significantly slower rate of memory decline compared to those who consumed less than one serving per day. This difference in memory decline was equivalent to being 8.5 years younger in terms of cognitive function.Whole grains,…

Dietary Trans-Vaccenic Acid Enhances Anti-Tumor Immunity by Reprogramming CD8+ T CellsResearchers have identified a dietary component, trans-vaccenic acid (TVA), that enhances anti-tumor immunity by boosting the function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). TVA, found in ruminant foods like lamb, beef, and dairy, inhibits the immunoregulatory G protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR43), a molecule stimulated by its SCFA ligands.In a recent study published in Nature, researchers unveiled a groundbreaking discovery: a dietary component, trans-vaccenic acid (TVA), holds the remarkable potential to bolster anti-tumor immunity by invigorating the function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). These specialized immune cells play a pivotal role in…
