Even 'triple-washed' lettuce could be nowhere near as clean as you think, warn experts | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's microscopic, it's spreading, and it's hiding in your salad bowl. A US outbreak of cyclosporiasis – caused by the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis, which can trigger severe dehydration and diarrhoea – has been traced back to an unlikely villain: iceberg lettuce. Between 1 May and 10 August this year, there were 13,895 laboratory-confirmed cases of cyclosporiasis in the US – including 740 hospitalisations and two deaths – with Michigan the worst-affected state. As a result, people across the
5 surprising perimenopause signs most people miss, according to a doctor | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Menopause is an experience roughly half of Earth’s population will go through at some point in their life. It’s the point where menstruation stops and marks the end of natural reproduction. And yet, that is often the limit of what people know about menopause. The average person’s understanding of what actually happens to the body during this life change is probably comparable to that of how to make a soufflé – it’s got something to do with eggs and heat, but a lot of the important details are mi
Life evolved thanks to an giant poop explosion, say scientists | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We may have a huge poop explosion to thank for the existence of complex life on Earth, according to scientists. A new study, published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, has credited this ‘faecal revolution’ with influencing one of the most significant turning points in animal and environmental evolution. Researchers from Flinders University have suggested that a build-up of excrement from primitive sea creatures may have been a core trigger for the Cambrian explosion – a period around 540 millio
Three simple changes in middle age could give you 13 more years without dementia, study suggests | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Three everyday habits could add over a decade to your brain's healthy years, scientists have suggested. A new study suggests that keeping blood pressure in check, avoiding diabetes and not smoking between the ages of 45 and 65 could buy you an extra 13 years free of dementia. The research, a decades-long study recently published in the journal Neurology, set out to measure how managing these risk factors in midlife affects long-term brain health. High blood pressure, diabetes and smoking all hav
'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon | BBC Science Focus Magazine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3 million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study. Researchers used LIDAR – a technology that fires pulses of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map the ground below – to survey more than 4,400km of the southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were published in Nature. Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may
