Featured News July 16, 2024 ROCHESTER, Minn. — Researchers at Mayo Clinic have established new criteria for a memory-loss syndrome in older adults that specifically impacts the brain’s limbic system.

Prior to the researchers developing clinical criteria published in the journal Brain Communications, the hallmarks of the syndrome could be confirmed only by examining brain tissue after a person’s death.…

In fact, the titular inventors of the slider at White Castle have recently leaned into the chain’s reputation…

Whey is also generally easy to absorb and digest, provided you don’t have a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance, Asche says. (If you’re specifically concerned about lactose, look for powders made with “whey protein isolate” as opposed to “whey protein concentrate,” since, as SELF has previously reported, isolate forms contain next to no lactose.)CaseinCasein protein is similar to whey, since it also comes from curdled milk. But casein is made from the curd itself, rather than the liquid, and is dehydrated and processed into powder.Egg whiteEgg white protein powder comes from eggs. It’s dairy-free but not vegan, so is a…
