Researchers at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology looked at 65-thousand older people who were real young during the UK government program that limited sugar during World War Two.

SpaceX Rocket To Slam Into The Moon Next Week
(Undated) — A huge piece of American space junk is about to slam into the moon. Astronomer Bill Gray has developed software for tracking near-Earth objects, and has co-authored a study on a five-ton SpaceX rocket that was launched in January of 2025. Gray says the upper stage of the discarded Falcon Nine rocket will collide with the moon at a speed of 54-hundred miles per hour in the early morning of August 5th. The lead author of the study says he expects the collision to vaporize the rocket, cause a flash of light, and create a fresh crater on the lunar surface near the Einstein crater on the western edge of the visible moon.
