## Resource

Scientists are sounding the alarm as nearly half of all new colorectal cancer diagnoses in the U.S. are now occurring in younger adults, reversing decades of progress and leaving researchers scrambling for answers. A major fish oil study reveals a startling disconnect between omega-3 delivery to the brain and actual cognitive benefits, casting doubt on one of the most popular supplements for Alzheimer's prevention. New research suggests intermittent fasting may offer a surprising psychological advantage over traditional calorie counting, especially for those trapped in yo-yo dieting cycles. Engineers have uncovered the bizarre underground phenomenon caused by rainfall that's been silently reversing airflow in mines and putting workers at risk worldwide. Plus, a 113-million-year-old pterosaur fossil has just yielded something scientists have never seen before, and bacteria may hold the key to unlocking a new generation of cancer-fighting drugs.
