Grandma wins Tekken tournament

Show Notes
Transcript

Swedish researchers found an association between high fat dairy consumption and a lower risk of dementia. Joseph, a German man, broke his own Guinness World Record with an 11,000 snow globe collection. Japanese scientists are conducting clinical trials on artificial blood, potentially reducing blood shortages by 2030. Peay, an escaped hornbill, was safely returned to a California zoo. Lastly, a 92-year-old Japanese grandmother won an eSports Tekken tournament featuring senior citizens.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.800
Caloroga Shark Media. Hi there, I'm Johnny Mack with five

2
00:00:10.919 --> 00:00:14.080
good news stories. Researchers in Sweden I found a link

3
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.839
between eating more high fat cream and high fat cheeses

4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.920
that linked to a lower risk of developing dementia. Yeah,

5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.160
people who consume twenty grams or more of high fat

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.440
cream daily had a sixteen percent lower risk of dementia

7
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.039
than those who consume none. No association was found for

8
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.359
low fat dairy products butter milk or fermented milk. The

9
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:38.840
researchers emphasize that the study does not prove that eating

10
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.039
high fat cheese and high fat cream lowers the risk

11
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:45.320
of dementia. It only shows an association. Professor Emily said,

12
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:47.759
for decades, the debate over high fat versus low fat

13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.200
diets has shaped health advice, sometimes even categorizing cheese as

14
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.479
an unhealthy food to limit Our study found that some

15
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.359
high fat dairy products may actually lower the risk of dementia,

16
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.479
challenging some long held assumption about fat and brain health.

17
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.280
They analyze data from over twenty seven thousand people in Sweden,

18
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.239
average age fifty eight. They were followed for an average

19
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.439
of twenty five years. Right These scientists are not messing around.

20
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.159
Of the twenty seven thousand people, a total of thirty

21
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.519
two hundred and eight participants developed to mention. During the

22
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.719
study in Germany, a man who had earned the Guinness

23
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.040
World Record for his collection of sixty one hundred snow

24
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.400
globes back in two thousand and two revealed that his

25
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.640
collection has now grown to eleven thousand snow globes. Joseph

26
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.319
broke his own record. He's been collecting snow globe since

27
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.840
nineteen ninety four. The oldest item in the collection is

28
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.319
an Eiffel Tower themed snow globe made in Paris in

29
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.239
eighteen eighty nine. Some others include a snow globe shaped

30
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.640
like a Coca Cola phone, one that depicts the sinking

31
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.000
of the Titanic. Another is Santa Claus flying a helicopter.

32
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.239
He also has snow globes depicting characters and locations from

33
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.680
Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Joseph

34
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.200
told the Guinness I love the romance of snow globes

35
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.799
and how beautiful they are when you shake them up

36
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.120
and the snow falls down. Snow globes as they encapsulate

37
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:04.519
a perfect world. Obviously one that's not realistic, and that's

38
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.920
why we gravitate toward them. Good news here, artificial blood

39
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.199
could be used for transfusions by twenty thirty, reducing preventable

40
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.840
deaths due the shortages of donor blood. Clinical trials of

41
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.000
Bagun in Japan where scientists extracted the protein hemoglobin from

42
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.639
expired donor blood to create virus free particles that mimic

43
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.240
red blood cells and are compatible with any blood type.

44
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.759
Shelf life two years. Donor blood only lasts thirty five days.

45
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.919
A zoo in California announced they have a hornbill, which

46
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.680
is a large exotic bird native to Africa. The hornbill

47
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:42.520
was found at a country club in California. What Yeah.

48
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.000
The Living Desert Zoo in Gardens and Palm Desert said

49
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.280
as Southern ground hornbill escaped while being transferred to a

50
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.000
holding area. Pee Lee. The bird was spotted at the

51
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.439
Reserve Club, which is a country club near the zoo.

52
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:57.759
Animal care staff rushed to the location. They were able

53
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.479
to bring Peelee the bird home. The zoo was doing

54
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.240
a thorough review of how the bird escaped. If you

55
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.319
enjoy the show and you think you'd like it even

56
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:08.319

00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.319

61
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:20.400
which I also host, and a bunch of others on

62
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.599
the channel, Apple will put all that information in front

63
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:25.199
of you, no pressure, and again, if you just want

64
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:27.840
to do it for thirty days, do that. Congratulations to

65
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.759
a ninety two year old Japanese grandmother. She was named

66
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.840
the winner of an esports tournament because she's really good

67
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:38.960
at techan. The tournament featured eight senior citizens ranging in

68
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.159
age from seventy three to ninety five, facing off and

69
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.240
virtually held one on one teken matchups. She defeated a

70
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.919
seventy four year old in the finals. This was all

71
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:52.599
streamed on YouTube. The organization plans to hold a fully

72
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.400
national tournament in the near future for senior citizens who

73
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.159
played techan. And those are your five good news stories

74
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:00.319
for today. Haven't also day
