Consuming less sugar during pregnancy and the first years of life may lower the risk of developing dementia decades later, according to new research.
A study published in Neurology found that people who were exposed to less sugar before birth and during their first one to two years of life had up to a 23% lower risk of developing dementia compared with those born after sugar became widely available again.
Researchers examined the health records of more than 64,000 people in the United Kingdom who were born before and after World War II sugar rationing ended in 1953.
People who experienced lower sugar intake before birth and through their first year of life had a 21% lower risk of dementia, while those whose sugar intake remained limited through age two had a 23% lower risk, researchers found.

Massachusetts is on the way to giving doctors the final say on whether an abortion should be allowed late in pregnancy, a move expected to affect few cases but that supporters say is needed because hospitals are now turning away women they should be serving.
The state Senate adopted the measure Friday, sending it to Democratic Gov. Maura Healey, who has signed other laws strengthening abortion rights.
Under current Massachusetts law, abortion is legal for the first 24 weeks of pregnancy. It is allowed after that only if a physician using best medical judgment says it is necessary to preserve the life, physical or mental health of the woman, because of a lethal fetal anomaly or diagnosis or because the fetus wouldn't likely survive outside the uterus.
State Rep. Christine Barber said that under that framework, hospitals turned away some women for abortions late in pregnancy, even in a case where a fetus had a stroke and was determined to be unlikely to survive.
The new law would take out the list of specific reasons and say simply that it would be allowed "based on the professional judgment of the physician."

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Wednesday that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) treated Republicans poorly, recalling that she would sometimes "yell" at GOP lawmakers.
Speaking on Fox News's "Jesse Watters Primetime" while discussing a graphic comparing how conservatives and liberals perceive one another, McCarthy agreed with the sentiment that most liberals view conservatives as "savages" while most conservatives see liberals as "children."
"This is where they get the Trump syndrome," McCarthy said, referencing what President Trump has dubbed "Trump derangement syndrome," explaining the intense criticism of him on the left.
McCarthy claimed Pelosi "really felt this about us."
"Like, we shouldn't be in the room — she would yell at me sometimes," McCarthy recalled. "And then, they would put magnetometers to try to deny us from entering, and you couldn't co-author with us."

Savannah Guthrie's missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, may have died shortly after she was allegedly taken from her home.
In a ransom note sent to the Today coanchor and her family, the writer claims, "We did not fully grasp the seriousness of her physical condition. We never intended to hurt her, that was not our intention. She perished shortly after she was taken."
"We believe it was heart related," the writer said regarding the alleged death of Nancy, who was 84 years old when she went missing. "She is buried in nature now. Nothing you could have done could have changed the outcome."
"We want your family to know this and hope you all can find peace," the note read. "We are truly sorry."
The note, sent to Tucson CBS affiliate KOLD-TV on February 6, was part of new information released on Friday, July 31, by the Pima County Sheriff's Department.

A hair sample that underwent forensic testing after being found at the Tucson, Arizona, home of Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, came back inconclusive and did not point to a suspect, the sheriff overseeing the local investigation told CBS News on Thursday.
"It came back with no results," Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said. The sheriff's department said the results from the hair sample were verified in early June. Thursday was the first time they shared that information publicly.
Nanos noted there was blood and other DNA found at the scene that is also still being ******* yzed, but has so far also yielded no results.
"I know that there was blood at the scene and so that was also part of the processing of the scene," Nanos said.
CBS News previously reported in May that a DNA sample that was sent by sheriff's detectives to a private laboratory in Florida was then forwarded to the FBI's crime lab in Quantico, Virginia. Officials did not confirm, however, any details about that sample or whether it was the hair sample in question.

Lele Pons is sharing one of the toughest parts of her life after becoming a mother. Recently, the influencer shared about her pregnancy on a podcast. She shared that she faced physical and mental struggles when she became pregnant with her first child. Pons also revealed how motherhood had changed her way of thinking since having her daughter Eloísa.
During an appearance on The Squeeze podcast with Tay Lautner, Pons said that she "didn't like being pregnant" because she had to stop taking her mental health medication. She said doctors asked her to stop the medication as soon as she learned she was pregnant. Pons found out she was expecting while she was in Las Vegas after vomiting unexpectedly and taking a pregnancy test. She stated she was four weeks pregnant and had stopped birth control just two months earlier.
Pons said she had been on medication for OCD since she was 10. She called the experience horrible, and her symptoms became difficult to control. "I was a different person, I was an unbalanced person. I was not stable," she said. She added, "I've never been out of control like that," and said even her friends and family noticed the change.
The influencer also shared that she stopped seeing her therapist because she felt the sessions no longer helped her. She stated that she gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy and urged people not to compare their experiences. She added, "I don't like when people say like, the normal is this. No. No. No. The normal is whatever happens. You know? We're all different. We all have different bodies."
Despite all those struggles, every challenge became worth it after her daughter arrived, Pon said. "You only care about her health, Tay," she said. "You're not the main character anymore in your story," she added before calling motherhood "such an amazing love" and "a shocking love." On July 26, Pons and her husband, Guaynaa, welcomed their daughter, Eloísa, to the world and posted the news together on Instagram a day later.

She and husband Guaynaa welcomed their daughter Eloísa in July after announcing their pregnancy in March
Lele Pons is speaking candidly about her pregnancy and motherhood journey.
The influencer, 30, stopped by The Squeeze podcast, where she chatted with Tay Lautner, 29, the wife of actor Taylor Lautner, 34, about how she navigated her pregnancy before giving birth to her daughter Eloísa last July.
On the episode, Pons candidly told Tay that she "didn't like being pregnant" and that a large reason for that was because she had been forced to stop her mental health medication. Pons told Tay that she had first found out she was pregnant just two months after stopping her birth control, while she was in Las Vegas. After vomiting unexpectedly, Pons took a pregnancy test and found out she was about four weeks pregnant.
"It was a very hard pregnancy, because I had to immediately get rid of my mental health pills, my medication," she told Tay. "And I've never been without them." Pons added that she had been on the medication, which she had been taking for her OCD symptoms, since she was just 10 years old.

(NewsNation) — A year after pleading guilty to the murders of four University of Idaho students, Bryan Kohberger is challenging his conviction.
According to a handwritten post-conviction petition, the criminology student claims he was "convinced to falsely confess" to the crimes. He claims he was swayed into the plea deal that landed him life in prison through "coercion, disinformation, false promises, and the withholding of exculpatory discovery."
While Kohberger claims he had ineffective counsel who "misrepresented" what life in prison would be like, NewsNation contributor Ashleigh Banfield told Hena Doba on Monday she believes Kohberger's just bored.
"Life in prison is really awful," she said. "And when you're his age, you're facing about 70 years of this last one year that he's had. He didn't like his last year. He's been in solitary. It's boring. He's tired of it."
Clue points to one sender of Nancy Guthrie notes, profiler says

A couple, 37 and 39, spent three rounds of IVF over two years before a successful pregnancy, financing each round on credit cards and a fertility specific loan when insurance covered almost none of it. The balance now sits at $52,000, and with a baby due in four months, they're trying to figure out how to pay it down before childcare costs stack on top of it.
Fertility treatment coverage varies enormously by state and employer, and only a limited number of states currently mandate any insurance coverage for IVF specifically. Most couples paying out of pocket are covering costs that can run $15,000 to $20,000 per round once medications, monitoring, and the procedure itself are included.

Jul. 24—When Logan Angelo stopped playing baseball at Creston High School, the 2013 graduate gained his first job in entertainment production as public address announcer at the home baseball games.
While announcing the game in the press box, Angelo also served as a DJ, playing digital music tracks via computerized software. At this year's team banquet, coach Brandon Phipps praised current announcer Cory Latham for his work in providing "a true entertainment event along with announcing the baseball game, like you expect from a big-time venue."
Fast forward 13 years, and the venue doesn't get any bigger than where Angelo worked for more than five weeks this summer at the Houston venue for seven FIFA World Cup matches. Angelo was hired by FIFA as stadium entertainment technical operations manager at the home of the NFL Houston Texans (labeled Houston Stadium by FIFA's non-sponsor policy, but officially now NRG Stadium after several years as Reliant Stadium.)
"This was the largest sports event ever," Angelo said, "when you consider it was held in 16 stadiums across three countries (United States, Mexico and Canada), with 48 teams playing a total of 104 matches over 39 days (June 11 to July 19). It's even a larger scale than the Olympics, when you consider the number of fans traveling for this international sports event. And, it turned out to be a successful event. The cities did a great job as hosts."
For perspective, the World Cup final between Argentina and Spain averaged 66.4 million television viewers in the U.S. on Fox and Telemundo combined. Other than Super Bowls, this is the largest sports audience since the 1994 Winter Olympics (skaters Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan).

USA Today is addressing a controversial column by Nancy Armour on Wednesday about Caitlin Clark that invoked murdered Emmett Till—while linking some of Clark's fan base to "white nationalists."
After Armour's column about the Indiana Fever star sparked a firestorm Thursday, Front Office Sports asked USA Today if they stood by her article.
Lark-Marie Anton, chief communications and brand officer for USA Today Co., wrote an email back to FOS stating: "Nancy is a Sports columnist, and her column is clearly labeled Opinion. Please note that the column has been updated for clarity, and Nancy has addressed the matter here (and below). We will not be commenting further."
Anton was referring to Armour's post on Threads Thursday defending her decision to include the 14-year-old Till's racially motivated murder in 1955 in Mississippi. However, Armour wrote she regretted not providing "appropriate context" in her piece.
"In my recent column, I made an inartful comparison with the murder of Emmett Till. I intended to connect the issues the WNBA is currently facing with its All-Star Game being hosted in Till's hometown of Chicago. I obviously did not provide enough context for that," wrote Armour.

Clark has proved to be a lightning rod that goes well beyond sports to wade into culture wars. NBA commissioner Adam Silver even went as far as to say that the sharpshooter has been unfairly made into a "political football."
On Wednesday, the next arc in the insane saga of Clark's coverage occurred. USA Today columnist Nancy Armour wrote a column **** led "Caitlin Clark's flopping isn't just annoying — it's becoming dangerous."
Armour sets the tone from the very beginning.
"Indiana Fever All-Star Caitlin Clark and her enablers must take the rest of us for idiots," she opens with.

30 YEARS AGO — 1996
— Mark Gardner and his five-man crew aboard the Bark Ode captured the Mayor’s Cup as overall winner in the Racing Division, covering the course in 1:07:36. Gardner, who had already been sailing three hours before the 10 a.m. start, had been coming to Plattsburgh by sailboat for the race since 1984.

Anne Hathaway's happiness is palpable. The expectant mother has kicked off her maternity style streak as she promotes her forthcoming Christopher Nolan film, The Odyssey, and from what we've seen so far, her pregnancy wardrobe is all about the bright, joyful primary colors.
Yesterday, the Oscar-winning actress emerged in New York City wearing one of the coolest rising local brands of the moment: Ashlyn. The look was a vibrant red set in a slinky, slouchy silhouette, pulled straight from the label's Spring/Summer 2026 collection. She was glowing in the bold monochromatic ensemble, which she completed with a red heart-shaped Alaïa bag and red Aquazzura stilettos, and accessorized with cat-eye shades, a gold Bulgari Tubogas choker, and a Serpenti Tubogas watch to up the glamour.
Hathaway wore head-to-toe red yet again at a press junket just hours later. A semi-sheer top with ruffles at the hem was the standout piece, and she layered it over a matching bra and paired it with breezy red trousers and strappy Vivaia kitten heels in the same hue. She even carried a matching cardigan in case she got chilly.
And on the first of July, the Devil Wears Prada 2 star embraced two other primary colors (a big trend on the runways for the past couple of seasons). While in Tribeca for a press event. she was lovely in a strapless honey-yellow dress in rich velvet, with a sepia-style floral print. The design hails from Lela Rose's Resort 2027 collection, and Hathaway continued the gold tones of her outfit with gold Bvlgari jewelry and black oval Krewe sunglasses with brown-tinted lenses.

A former Georgia Bulldogs basketball forward has sued the NCAA for more eligibility. Former Georgia and Clemson forward RJ Godfrey is part of a lawsuit against the NCAA filed July 9 to gain a fifth year of eligibility, according to Derrian Carter of Greenville News. If his lawsuit is successful, he will more than likely be looking for a new transfer destination.
Carter wrote that in the complaint, 16 players, including Godfrey, argued that the NCAA "unfairly" limited the number of games those athletes can participate in during their five-year eligibility window and "unjustifiably (restrained)" their ability to earn money through name, image and likeness (NIL).
The group is seeking an immediate injunctive relief that will allow them to sign scholarship and revenue-sharing agreements with the schools, along with third-party agreements for NIL compensation to play in the 2026-27 season. This comes from the NCAA approving a change to its eligibility rules on June 23, giving all athletes five years of eligibility over five seasons instead of five years to play four seasons.
Under the new rules, there will be no more redshirts, and waivers will only be granted in the case of pregnancy, military service or religious missions. However, no athlete who has already played four seasons, like RJ Godfrey, didn't get an extra season, according to the rule.
Godfrey started out his collegiate career at Clemson, where he played for two seasons. He transferred to the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2024 offseason, where he racked up 6.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.0 ******* ists per game. He transferred back to the Clemson Tigers in 2025, where he scored 12.0 points and earned 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 ******* ists per game.

As the field for the race to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham takes shape, one prominent lawmaker is declining to dive into the arena hours after the contest was shaken up.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., opted against a bid after she strongly suggested that she'd throw her hat into the arena on Monday in a video statement. Last August, Mace launched a campaign for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Henry McMaster, but she finished a disappointing fifth out of five major candidates in last month's Republican primary.
"I want to be straight with you, I'm not running for the U.S. Senate, not because I'm backing down from a fight, but because the one I'm already in matters right now," Mace said.
"I'm not chasing another **** le, I'm chasing justice, justice for me, justice for other women and justice for every little girl who was told to stay silent," she continued. "That's where my focus is today, and that's where it's going to stay."

Princess Diana's White House dance with John Travolta reportedly became a famous photograph. The People's Princess was 24 when she spun with the Hollywood star at Reagan's 1985 state dinner. A new source revisited the night and claimed the connection lasted beyond the ballroom. The report pointed to her love of dance. It also included claims that she later corresponded with him from Britain. That frame made the dance feel like a longer story.
According to a RadarOnline report, the dance took place at the White House in 1985. The dinner was hosted by President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan. Guests included Clint Eastwood, Tom Selleck, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Travolta.
The actor had become famous through "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease." Travolta later called the moment "a highlight of being in the United States." He also said it was Diana's "favorite moment," according to the report.
Meanwhile, Travolta said the dance was arranged quietly by Nancy Reagan. He recalled being told the princess wanted to dance, but he had to lead. Travolta said, "At midnight, I had to tap her on the shoulder."
He then asked, "Would you care to dance?" The actor said she dipped her head "in that Lady Diana way." Then, "we were off for 15 minutes dancing." He later described it as "like a dream."
