Political psychology: Why extremist parties are thriving and what democratic politicians can do (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 6, Germany's eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt held elections for its state parliament. The big winner: The right-wing AfD (Alternative for Germany) party, which garnered 43.8% of the votes; more than ever before. It's still unclear who will govern the state because the AfD does not have an absolute majority. But it was a landslide win for the AfD, whose Saxony-Anhalt branch is classified as right-wing extremist by Germany's domestic intelligence agency, and that worries many Germans.
Fatty food raises risk of colorectal cancer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The list of health risks associated with foods high in fat and low in fiber is long: Now a team of German researchers has shown how so-called Western diets that are often full of fatty foods can lead to the development of one of the most common — and deadliest — cancers in adults under the age of 50.

It's just a question of putting it into action in our day-to-day lives. But do the items we have saved in our minds as "good for you," like fresh fruit, vegetables, or whole-grains and pulses, still live up to their reputation? "The mineral content has declined in a wi
Heat is especially hard on people taking antidepressants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For people taking antidepressants, summer heat can feel even more exhausting than it does for everyone else. When temperatures soar to 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) and above — as we have already witnessed this year in the Northern Hemisphere — this can affect how such drugs work, placing extra stress on our bodies. "Some antidepressants ... can affect how the body regulates temperature [and] sweating," said the president of the British Royal College of General Practitioners, Victoria Tzortziou Bro
