Saturated Fat Makes Us Dumber [Weighty Issues]
As it turns out, nomming on the occasional delicious, saturated fatty acid animal product is even worse for us than we thought it was. Not only do foods that are high in saturated fat (e.g. red meat, butter, whole-fat milk and cream, cheeses, etc.) clog the arteries and dramatically increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, but a new study in Annals Of Neurology, reported by The Atlantic, says that the consumption of saturated fat has a deleterious effect on the brain, thanks to the study of 6,000 women over the age of 65. It wasn't the total amount of fat consumed, but the type of fat that effected women's memory; during the four-year data collection period, women who ate nonsaturated/healthier types of fat, like the olive-oil based kind, scored higher on cognitive function tests. The jury is still out on whether it effects men in a similar way. More »

Study Ruins Eating for Two by Proving It's Safe for Pregnant Women to Diet [Weighty Matters]
Congratulations, you're pregnant! Now go on a diet. "Wait, what?" you may whine pointlessly in protest. "I thought this was the one time I didn't have to diet. You know ‘eating for two' and all?" WRONG. A new review of medical research has determined that it's 100 percent safe to restrict ones calories during pregnancy, and in fact you should avoid gaining excessive weight because it can lead to scary complications. So, it looks like you're in for nine months worth of celery sticks. More »

A dose of Glover never hurt anything, but the news is especially exciting for those who've been wishing the show portrayed a more diversity. More »

The Night Belongs to Tina Fey! [Video]
Last weekend, I went to D.C. for the first time, and was overwhelmed at how much I wanted to do and how little time I had to do it all. YET, I spent almost half an hour in front of a TV screen at the Newseum's "Every Four Years" election-related exhibit watching Tina Fey imitate Sarah Palin on SNL. Even though I had seen all of the skits before — multiple times — I couldn't help it. I just love her so much. (And now I'm doing the same thing again while trying to pick a clip for you guys...shh, don't tell my coworkers!) More »

Every Time Some Professional-Woman-Drinking Trend Piece Says Or Implies "Sex And The City Culture," Take A Drink [Scary Sadshaws]
Although one would think we'd hang up the whole Scary Sadshaw* thing by now (with the occasional exception of a bittersweet Julia Allison oeuvre here and there), this is clearly not the case. Since the show ended its run, there's been one article per year or so about the increased alcohol consumption of "upwardly mobile" professional women (like this one in 2009 or this one in 2010) and generally the not-so-discreet charm of the Cosmo-addled ladies on HBO's bourgeoise guilty pleasure of yore continues to take much of the blame. It's irritating. Here's another, courtesy of the Telegraph, in which the following phrases are used to distinguish the problem of "successful lady drinking" from successful man drinking: More »
