Very interesting new neuroscience paper, on brain regions associated with political allegiance. Vietnam vets with damage to the prefrontal cortex showed an increased intensity in their political affiliation (regardless of the side of the political spectrum they were on).
Recent research on hormonal contraception showed that it actually shrinks a key part of the prefrontal cortex called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Could it be, then, that widespread use of the contraceptive pill--by altering the prefrontal cortex--is driving the well-known drift of young women further and further to the left? It's quite possible.

Science confirms: Being fat is more likely to make you a dysfunctional freak.
“Overweight or obese women show a higher occurrence of symptoms of sexuality-related disorders (especially sexual dysfunctions and sexual preference disorders) than women with a normal body weight."

Like I've said before, these geoengineering experiments should be treated as environmental terrorism. They have the potential to cause devastation on a scale that will dwarf the man-made catastrophes of history.

Further proof you get nothing for free. A new study of the sweetener sucralose shows that it actually stimulates rather than satisfying hunger. It provides the sensation of sweetness without the caloric payoff, and this sends the brain's appetite centres wild.
A similar argument is made in the book The Dorito Effect to explain one of the main things that's so bad about processed food. Because it's hyperpalatable--specifically designed to trigger the body's taste and satisfaction centres to the greatest possible amount--processed food promises massive nutrition that it simply doesn't deliver. Natural foods that trigger these centres provide more than mere calorie density. As a a result, your body makes you overeat processed food in the hope of actually getting some of the nutrition promised--but it never comes.

Omega 6 is the most common dietary fat in Western diets thanks to the ubiquity of seed and vegetable oils. A new study suggests omega-6 oils can drive the spread of aggressive forms of cancer, including so-called "triple negative" breast cancer.

Your daily reminder that Cortes and the Conquistadors were totally right. They were heroes. Their enemies were evil.
