The best of 2017, research insights and other breakthroughs.

Each year is fuller than the last.

More and more scientific papers are published every year, and that trend is only quickening.

Number one, vegetable oils are still really, really bad. Canola oil worsens cognition in an Alzheimer's model,

linoleic acid makes alcohol harder on the liver, and edible oils are probably responsible for South Asian diabetes epidemic.

Breast milk has one. Heart surgery is safer in the afternoon. Regular eating times improve

circadian protection of skin against UV damage. Blue blocking goggles increase melatonin at night

We don't get enough daytime light, and three Americans got Nobel Prizes for their work on circadian physiology.

Number four, What the Health?
