By Kristen Rogers | CNNIn the first research to look at constipation’s impact on the aging brain, scientists have found some concerning links.Being chronically constipated, defined by the authors as having a bowel movement only every three or more days, has been linked with a 73% higher risk of subjective cognitive decline, according to research presented Wednesday at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Amsterdam.“Our study provided first-of-its-kind evidence that examined a wide spectrum of bowel movement frequency,” said Dr. Chaoran Ma, the research’s first author and assistant professor in the department of nutrition at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, via email. “We were surprised at how strong the associations were, especially for those with very infrequent bowel movements.”About 16% of the worldwide adult population experiences constipation, but it’s even more common among older adults due to age-related factors such as lack of exercise and dietary ...Only tickets — not driving tests — can curb dangerous driving, reader says: Roadshow

Q: DMV behind-the-wheel tests should be used only for first-time driver’s tests. For the rest of us, they are a waste of everyone’s time.The worst-performing drivers I see probably are the most skilled drivers when they want to be, or they would have wrecked their cars by now with all their speeding, tailgating, cutting people off, breaking the law, and changing lanes every few yards.The DMV Driver’s Handbook lists the most common causes of collisions as driver distractions, unsafe speed, improper turns, not following the right-of-way rules, not following stop signals and signs, driving on the wrong side of the road, and traveling faster or slower than the flow of traffic. No experienced driver would do these things during a behind-the-wheel test, but some drivers do these things all the time on the road.More enforcement is the only way we are going to stop bad drivers.Pete Williams, MoragaA: You raise a good point.

For someone who’s 11.5 inches tall and weighs under 8 ounces, poor Barbie’s had to carry an awfully heavy load over the years on that slender, plastic back of hers.Welcomed as a trailblazer in 1959 — An adult doll! With actual breasts! — she was nonetheless branded an anti-feminist a decade later when women’s rights marchers chanted “I Am Not a Barbie Doll,” referring to her unrealistic body type (and perhaps ignoring the fact that she was single, a homeowner and a career woman).As years went by, Barbie had her hits (adopting a more inclusive body type, running for president) and misses (exclaiming “Math class is TOUGH!” — ouch). Through it all, this lightning rod in tiny pink heels remained uniquely talented at reinventing herself.Which is why it makes sense that now, writer-director Greta Gerwig takes Barbie in more than one direction – in every direction, really – in her brash, clever, idea-packed (if ultimately TOO packed) and most of all, eye-poppingly lovely “Barbie,” the bran...Latest news
