| SCI | Stored Oils Last Longer if a Natural Antioxidant is Removed
When exposed to oxygen or stored for long periods, some oils lose healthy properties such as fatty acid levels. Researchers suggest decreasing or removing a natural antioxidant called alpha-tocopherol to reap the full benefits of healthy oils, according to a study in the Journal of Food Science, published by the Institute of Food Technologists.

| SCI | Scientists Find a Common Link of Bird Flocks, Breast Milk and Trust
What do flocks of birds have in common with trust, monogamy, and even breast milk? According to a new report in the journal Science, they are regulated by virtually identical neurochemicals in the brain, known as oxytocin in mammals and mesotocin in birds.

| SCI | The Pressure is on to Eradicate Deadly Organism Affecting Citrus Crops Worldwide
Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) – also known as “citrus greening” - is a serious bacterial disease that is adversely affecting citrus groves worldwide. The disease has already been responsible for the significant decrease in citrus production in many countries in Asia, Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Brazil. New technology has allowed for the DNA of the HLB bacterium to be recently sequenced, an important step toward starting the process of genetically engineering trees to resist the disease.
