New MRI research shows that body fat distribution—not just overall weight—can affect brain health. Certain fat patterns, like “pancreatic‑predominant” and “skinny fat,” are linked to gray matter loss, accelerated brain aging, and higher risk of cognitive decline. #BrainHealth https://bit.ly/4qPvclU

In 1922, insulin co-discoverer Frederick Banting refused to profit from the discovery and offered it to the world as a global public good.
