- Glycine helps prevent arthrosis or osteoporosis (f)
Glycine is a non-essential amino acid used by the organism to synthesise proteins and is present in foods such as fish, meat or dairy products. The study, carried out at the Cellular Metabolism Institute in Tenerife and at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the University of Granada by Doctor Patricia de Paz Lugo and supervised by Doctors Enrique Meléndez Hevia, David Meléndez Morales and José Antonio Lupiáñez Cara, established that the direct intake of this substance as a food additive helps to prevent arthrosis and other degenerative diseases, in addition to other diseases related to a weakness in the mechanical structure of the organism, including the difficulty of repairing physical injuries.

- How Brain’s ‘Mirrors’ Aid Our Social Understanding (p)(f)
one of the most intriguing theories to emerge in recent years about how our brains perform is that we have neurons that essentially act as mirrors to other people. When we see someone scratch their head or furrow their brow, we instantly have a sense of their mental state because those actions trigger the same patterns of neural activity in our own minds and allow our brains to quickly deduce what mental states are associated with such patterns.
