Overview:
• Scientists at London’s Francis Crick found out that there is a biological reason for why we overeat when we drink alcohol. Alcohol activates specific brain cells or neurons, which stimulate the urge to eat. These nerve cells make a protein known as AgRP neurons and alcohol is modulating the effect of these neurons in increasing food intake.
• Donald Trump is looking into the possibility of forming a presidential panel to review vaccination safety and science, appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to oversee the program. Trump is exploring the possibility of forming a commission on autism, which affects so many families. However, no decisions have been made at this time.
• In India, poor sanitation is blamed for persistent malnutrition and child stunting in India. In most part of India, defecating anywhere is a common sight and changing centuries-old habits like these to improve the country’s worst health problems is definitely not easy.
