    Political psychology: Why extremist parties are thriving and what democratic politicians can do (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

The researchers from the Technical University of Munich, RWTH Aachen and the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbrücke (DIfE) found that these unhealthy diets sustain certain gut bacteri

    Type 2 diabetes in young women increasingly common (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There used to be a clear-cut way to distinguish diabetes type 1 and type 2. Medical jargon aside: Type 1 diabetes was a genetic autoimmune disease that presented in young people, and type 2 was a disease that presented in older patients in their fifties or sixties due to an unhealthy lifestyle. But that distinction of young and old doesn't work anymore. More and more, younger people are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In England, for example, the biggest increase in new diagnoses of type 2

    Micronutrients are good, a balanced diet is better (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you want to know what makes a healthy diet, it is easy to get the information these days. Social media is awash with tips and most of us know the basics, anyway: Say no to chips and soda; eat fresh fruit and vegetables instead. 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)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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.
