NEW ORLEANS — It’s been 20 years since Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm.

Fat-blocking microbeads made with green tea, vitamin E and seaweed could offer a new way to lose weight and a potential alternative to popular GLP-1 drugs and bariatric surgery, according to exploratory new research.While human trials are still needed, scientists in China found that rats fed a high-fat diet lost about 17% of their body weight when given the edible microbeads. The rats also saw reduced fat tissue, alleviated liver damage and lower blood fat levels compared to animals that did not receive the beads. "Our work provides a basis for novel dietary strategies to combat obesity," the Sichuan University researchers

Ships and chips are both in crisis. And no, AI by itself isn’t the answer.  "We’ve spent the last 10 years teaching people how to code.
