☆ Lower cholesterol with a plant-based diet, study says
  + stars: | 2023-05-24 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
In study particpants, LDL levels dropped 10% and total cholesterol declined 7% for people following a plant-based diet when compared with those who eat both meat and plants, the study found. A plant-based diet can help reduce LDL cholesterol, a new study said. Statin treatment is superior to plant-based diets in reducing fats and cholesterol levels, Frikke-Schmidt said in a statement. In addition, people who transition to a plant-based diet should still be mindful about the kinds of foods they’re consuming. “Not all plant-based diets are equal,” said Aedin Cassidy, professor and director for interdisciplinary research at the Institute for Global Food Security in Queen’s University Belfast, in a statement.
☆ Dogs can smell when we're stressed out, a new study shows

For their study, Wilson and her colleagues first set out to train a variety of 20 pet dogs to point with their noses at samples from a person who was stressed. The dogs' accuracy at detecting the stress samples — from 90 percent to 96.88 percent — was even better than the researchers anticipated. Scientists discovered how a dog's sense of smell and the sense of vision are closely linked in its brain. She compared it to dogs who can smell cancer by picking out breath samples in a line-up. It’s hard to tell whether the dogs equate what they smell with actual feelings of stress, Houpt said.
☆ Doi astronomii spun că au găsit cea mai mare cometă observată vreodată

Doi astronomi cred că au descoperit cea mai mare cometă observată vreodată de oameni, o cometă a cărui nucleu înghețat are între 100 și 200 km lungime, fiind de câteva ori mai mare decât celebra cometă Hale-Bopp care a fost studiată acum 25 de ani, scrie New York Times, citează hotnews.ro. Dintre toate corpurile cerești, cometele sunt cele mai spectaculoase și majoritatea sunt originare din norul lui Oort, o regiune extrem de îndepărtată. Pentru că au aflat de ea și pentru că știu acum unde să se uite, astronomii o vor putea observa în detaliu în următorii 20 de ani. Cometele sunt corpuri cerești alcătuite din rocă, praf și gheață gazoasă, aflate pe o orbită alungită în jurul Soarelui. Apropiindu-se de Marte, cometele încep să formeze cozi lungi și spectaculoase, uneori de milioane de km.
