Childhood trauma linked to poor eating habits and obesity in adulthood, Polish study finds

New research from Poland suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as emotional neglect, abuse, and family dysfunction, may significantly influence eating behaviors in adulthood, potentially leading to obesity and related health disorders. The study highlights the long-lasting effects of trauma, emphasizing the connection between early-life stress and poor dietary choices.

    Everyday air pollution has stronger impact on health than short-term smog, says expert

    Smog and poor air quality are not the same. Smog situations are high concentrations of pollutants that last for a relatively short time. Although they do have a negative impact on health, air pollution is much more important because it has a long-term, everyday impact, says Dr. Krzysztof Skotak from the Institute of Environmental Protection - National Research Institute.

    Forest anthills are 'environmental islands' for fungi

    Forest anthills can be 'environmental islands' for fungi, say scientists from the Botanical Garden and the Faculty of Biology at the University of Warsaw, who discovered the presence of a specific group of fungi in the hills of the wood ant, different from those in the surrounding forest litter. The presence of anthills can therefore promote local biodiversity.

    Monogamy is not fundamental feature of quantum physics, Polish researchers find

    Monogamy is not a fundamental feature of nature at all - at least not when it comes to quantum non-locality, shows Polish research published in the prestigious PNAS. Apart from being a huge surprise for physicists, these results have significant consequences for communication, security and testing of quantum networks.
