Dogs also prefer consonants: how our language shapes their brain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everything is contagious, even the way we listen and understand. For humans, consonants usually carry more information than vowels. This pattern appears in many languages: when a sentence is stripped down to its bones, those bones are more recognizable if consonants dominate. That is why Spanish has 23 consonants and five vowels, a ratio that holds in almost every language. It is also why people drop vowels when they want to save characters in a message.

The Red Bull generation: How energy drinks became the fuel for a fast-paced society (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Energy drinks aren’t consumed for pleasure. They aren’t served in a glass with ice and a straw, nor are they sipped with blissful leisure.

Part of this inflection is explained by climate change, which has carried virus‑carrying mosquitoes to places where they were never seen before. But an unexpected advantage has also consolidated. The insecticides used since th
Obesity is inherited: How genes shape our relationship with food (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Obesity is written in our DNA and predicts, like a genetic prophecy, the body type we will have. A few decades ago it was easier to rebel against that fate — to fight our genetic programming and keep extra pounds at bay. But in an obesogenic world, surrounded by ubiquitous cheap and addictive food products, it is increasingly difficult. A series of recent scientific articles has strengthened this idea, which is gaining traction in the age of Ozempic and is helping to challenge the notion that ob
