Early obesity risk shown in babies under six months
Massachusetts study of over 120000 medical records from 1980 to 2001 links early weight gain to later weight problems. Among infants six months and younger overweight rates rose from about 3 percent in 1980 to nearly 6 percent, with overall child overweight rising from 6 to 10 percent. Researchers cite birth weight and maternal health as contributing factors.

Scientists identify cells that purge Alzheimer's gunk
Scientists led by Dr. Andrew Dillin at the Salk Institute and Scripps Research find molecular cleaners in C. elegans that purge beta-amyloid buildup, revealing aging erodes detox paths. The work points to drugs boosting these cleanup proteins as a new Alzheimer’s strategy, with 4.5 million Americans affected and rising. Initial worm studies show promise for compounds that may limit amyloid formation.
