New research shows that people’s genes may affect how a low-carbohydrate diet changes their cholesterol levels. Some people with certain genetic traits may see their "bad" LDL cholesterol rise when eating more saturated fat on a low-carb diet, while others do not experience this increase.
Key Facts
Low-carb diets can help with weight loss and blood sugar control for some people.
The study analyzed 431 adults from a larger trial, focusing on their genetics and cholesterol changes.
People with a genetic risk for higher LDL cholesterol were more likely to have increased LDL when eating saturated fat on a low-carb diet.
Saturated fat is found in foods like butter and bacon, and can raise LDL cholesterol in sensitive individuals.
Low-carb diets vary widely, from high in plant foods to high in saturated fat, affecting health differently.
A diet rich in vegetables, nuts, and olive oil may support heart and gut health better than one high in saturated fat.
Nutrition advice should consider individual genetic differences because people respond differently to the same diet.

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic criticized a United Nations war crimes court for refusing to release Ratko Mladic, a former Bosnian Serb army commander, who died in prison at age 84. Mladic was serving a life sentence for war crimes committed during the 1990s Balkan wars, including genocide.
Key Facts
Ratko Mladic was a Bosnian Serb military leader convicted of genocide and other crimes during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.
He was sentenced to life in prison in 2017 and had been in custody since 2011.
Mladic died in prison at age 84, shortly after the U.N. court denied his request for release on humanitarian grounds.
Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic called the court’s refusal “uncivilized behavior,” saying they wanted Mladic to die behind bars.
The U.N. court said Mladic was receiving good medical care and had regular family visits, so early release was not granted.
Bosnian Serbs held vigils honoring Mladic, viewing him as a hero, while victims’ families saw his death as justice.
The 1995 Srebrenica massacre, overseen by Mladic, resulted in over 8,000 deaths and is recognized as Europe’s first genocide since World War II.
The legacy of the Balkan wars still divides peoples in the region more than 30 years later.

A new study finds that first responders to the 9/11 attacks may have brains that age faster than their bodies, especially those with long-term post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Researchers used MRI scans and artificial intelligence to estimate brain age and found that responders with PTSD had brains about three years older than their actual age.
Key Facts
The study focused on first responders who helped at the World Trade Center site during and after 9/11.
Researchers analyzed brain scans from 99 responders in their mid-50s using an AI tool called BrainAgeNeXt.
Responders with PTSD had brains that looked older than their real age by about three years on average.
Responders without PTSD had brains that appeared slightly younger than expected.
The longer the responders worked at Ground Zero, the stronger the link between PTSD and accelerated brain aging.
Around 23% of 9/11 rescue and recovery workers suffer from persistent, significant PTSD.
Responders faced toxic dust and debris exposure along with psychological trauma.
Experts say trauma can keep the brain on high alert, which may cause faster aging and long-term health effects.
