Senators Want Answers On Toxic Train Derailment In Ohio

(Washington, DC) -- Two Republican Senators are demanding answers about the toxic train derailment in Ohio. Home state Senator J.D. Vance along with Florida Republican Marco Rubio sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. They want to know the balance it tries to strike between having a safe rail industry and one that’s efficient. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has previously said the state was never alerted of the train passing through East Palestine and it wasn’t classified as carrying highly hazardous materials.

Data Shows Increase In Migrants Deaths At Border In San Diego

(San Diego, CA) -- The number of people dying while trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego is on the rise. According to data from the Mexican Consulate in San Diego, 46 Mexicans died while attempting to cross from Tijuana to San Diego from October 2021 through September 2022. That’s up from 34 reported in the previous fiscal year and way up from the eleven deaths that were revealed three years ago. iNewsSource reports dehydration and drownings are among the leading causes of migrant deaths. However, the most common is injuries sustained from border wall falls, including brain damage and broken shoulders, backs and legs. Mexican authorities are warning their citizens not to trust smugglers who often put them into harm’s way.

Irregular Sleep Might Raise Hardening Of Arteries Risk In Older Adults

(Dallas, TX) -- A new study finds that irregular sleep habits might raise the risk of developing problems that can lead to heart attack or stroke in older adults. Researchers say sleeping an inconsistent number of hours each night and falling asleep at different times might increase the risk of developing the condition commonly called hardening of the arteries in people older than 45. The term describes the buildup of fatty deposits, known as plaque, on artery walls. Researchers note poor sleep is linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and other cardiovascular conditions. The study is published in the latest edition of the Journal of the American Heart Association.

Study: Fructose Could Fuel Alzheimer’s Development

(Aurora, CO) -- A new study finds a common dietary sweetener could fuel the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine say fructose, a simple sugar used to sweeten a wide range of foods and beverages, restricts blood flow to the brain’s cerebral cortex. The study’s lead author says that can lead to progressive brain atrophy and neuron loss with all the features of Alzheimer’s disease. That, researchers say, makes the case that “Alzheimer’s disease is driven by diet.”
