Household chaos does not directly cause poor grades, twin study suggests
Children who grow up in noisy, disorganized homes often perform worse in school, but a recent study suggests this link is driven by shared genetics and family environments rather than the home’s...

Identical twins showed a survival divide when only one had Parkinson’s
Researchers followed 54 twin pairs discordant for Parkinson’s disease and found substantially higher 10-year mortality among affected twins, including in genetically identical pairs. They also observe...

Twin studies find an association between fruit and vegetable intake and depression in over-45s. Interestingly, what was categorised as a 'high' intake was still well below the dietary recommendations for most countries.

Twin studies link depression to how much fruit and vegetables we eat
Using data from twin studies conducted over many years, researchers have found a link between levels of depression and the amount of fruit and vegetables people eat each day.

Conclusion of #TwinStudy:
[a healthy Vegan diet improves cardiovascular health. V eaters’ LDL cholesterol dropped ~15.2 mgs over 8 wks. In contrast, the omnivore participants' LDL cholesterol fell by ~2.4 mgs. V participants shed ~4 more lbs than omnivores, and their insulin dropped by 20% more]
