High‑fat cheese may lower dementia risk
Popular Science reports that a new analysis in Neurology found an association between consumption of high‑fat cheeses such as cheddar, Brie and Gouda and a reduced incidence of dementia, though causality remains unproven. The study highlights the potential neuroprotective role of saturated fats found in full‑fat dairy, prompting a re‑examination of dietary guidelines for older adults.

FDA adds meningioma warning to Depo‑Provera label
STAT News notes that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has mandated a label change for Pfizer’s quarterly contraceptive shot, Depo‑Provera, to alert users to a possible increased risk of meningioma, a brain‑covering tumor. The move intensifies a looming litigation battle in which nearly 2,000 women allege that the company concealed the risk for decades.

Cold‑water immersion linked to mental and physical benefits
ScienceNews highlights emerging research that regular polar plunges and cold‑water swimming can improve mood, boost immune function, and enhance cardiovascular fitness, likely via activation of brown fat and stress‑responsive pathways. Exercise physiologist Lee Hill cautions that while benefits are promising, extreme exposure still carries risks and should be approached gradually.

CDC rolls back long‑standing hepatitis B newborn policy
STAT News explains that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has adopted a new recommendation allowing parents to decide whether to vaccinate newborns against hepatitis B, reversing a three‑decade‑old universal‑offer rule. Experts warn the change may reduce early‑life immunity rates, especially in populations with limited healthcare access.

Laboratory simulation shows water can form on rocky exoplanets
Nature describes experiments that replicate hydrogen‑rich atmospheres interacting with molten planetary surfaces, generating substantial water quantities and suggesting a plausible pathway for early water delivery to rocky worlds. This mechanism reshapes theories of planetary habitability and the emergence of life‑supporting environments beyond Earth.
