Very high levels of the inherited cholesterol-related particle Lp(a) were linked to a greater risk of major cardiovascular events, particularly stroke and cardiovascular death, in a study of more than 20,000 people.

Scientists find the strength training "sweet spot" for a longer life

Just a couple of hours of strength training each week could have surprisingly powerful effects on longevity.

For decades, we were told to choose low-fat dairy. New research says otherwise

Full-fat dairy may be healthier than conventional advice has suggested. In a 12-week study, adults who ate three servings a day showed no meaningful increases in weight, body fat, cholesterol, or insulin resistance.

Wine, beer, or spirits? Massive study finds a surprising health divide

A study tracking more than 340,000 adults for over a decade found that heavy drinking increased the risk of death regardless of beverage type.
