Multivitamins, Fluoride, and Ancient Fossils: A Week in Science

0:00On this March 11th in Adelaide, here's what is making headlines. A new study out this week claims daily multivitamins can slow biological aging markers, but science reporter Ellen Fittian questions if the evidence backs the big headlines. She digs into other health debates too, like fluoride and water at recommended levels showing no impact on kids' cognition or IQ after decades of large studies. Community worries are growing as some councils vote to pull fluoride from supplies, leading to tips on keeping teeth healthy without it, such as not. Rinsing after brushing, archaeologists uncovered 1.5 million-year-old hand fossils in Kenya from an early human cousin, hinting multiple species may tools back. Then, meanwhile, Vietnam sites hope potentially the world's oldest mummified remains up to 14,000 years old, rewriting burial practices in Asia.
