In 2,264 46-year-olds from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966, heavier coffee drinkers had less visceral fat and more muscle at similar BMI. The release reports directions, not magnitudes.
Reality
MIT physicists report that two charge density waves in erbium tritelluride form by different mechanisms: one gradual, one nucleating in expanding pockets. Coexisting phases are not one knob.
Reality
Oxford researchers compared honeybee tissue with pollen from 99 UK plant species and found most a poor amino acid match. Excess histidine made bees eat less, not more.
Reality
A Nagoya University team reports DNA assembly two to five times more efficient than restriction enzymes plus T4 ligase, mostly by recovering more product and leaving longer overhangs.
Reality
A Polish randomised trial reports lasting drops in fear, guilt and physiological stress after two weeks of imagery therapy. Every arm improved, including the control, which is the interesting problem.
Reality
A Nature Ecology & Evolution study reports PHA-degrading enzymes in more than 66 animal species across nine phyla. Environmental-fate models built on microbes alone are incomplete.
Reality
A 402-person San Antonio cohort found physical activity tracked with slower decline in Hispanic participants and fasting glucose in non-Hispanic white ones. The subgroups are roughly 200 people each.
Reality
Max Planck researchers report that oligodendrocyte precursors release CRH near brain injury for about three days. Remove its receptor and you get more precursors but fewer mature cells.
Reality
A Current Biology study mapped social behavior onto two large insect phylogenies and found nearly the whole signal comes from the stinging wasps, bees and ants.

A BMJ Public Health case series ties sodium nitrite to a rise in UK suicide deaths since 2019, with a mean age of 28. The authors want access restricted. The data cannot tell them how much that would help.
