Fatty Acid C15:0 Discovered in Navy Dolphin Research Linked to Longevity

Researchers studying the aging process of dolphins have discovered a unique fat called pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) that could have significant benefits for human health. This "odd-chain" saturated fat, found in dolphin blubber and certain foods, has shown promise in improving heart health, reducing the risk of diabetes, and even extending lifespan. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Good Morning!

Today, we're covering sodium nitrate suicides on the rise, longevity-boosting fatty acids, the FDA issuing a 'do not feed' advisory on pet food products, and much more.

Enjoy, and have a great Friday.

This slow cooker chicken curry is a staple in my household, satisfying my love for the bold spice blends and saucy deliciousness of curries. It's a nutrient-dense dish featuring lean chicken, bell peppers, and a creamy coconut milk-tomato sauce infused with aromatics like garlic and curry powder.

Why It's a Winner:
• Customizable spice level with curry powder to suit your taste
• Hands-off slow cooking makes for an easy, fuss-free meal
• Lean protein from chicken plus fiber and vitamins from the veggies
• Rich in flavor from the coconut milk and spices like cumin and coriander
