What a Study on Ultraprocessed Fake Meat and Heart Disease Really Found
Recent headlines denounced plant-based fake meat—such as vegetarian sausages and textured vegetable protein—as unhealthy and claimed that their consumption is linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. But a closer look at the study underpinning these claims suggests a more nuanced story. The real culprits are in fact “plant-based” ultraprocessed foods as...

Astronomers Witness Awakening of Supermassive Black Hole
In December 2019, SDSS 1335+0728 — a little-known galaxy located 300 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo — suddenly started shining brighter than ever before. To understand why, astronomers have used data from several space and ground-based observatories to track how the galaxy’s brightness has varied. They conclude that they are witnessing the...
