FANCY some 3D-printed cheese? Nutritional scientists from Ireland’s University College Cork have now made it possible, using a modified commercial 3D printer to test the ‘meltability’, texture and resilience of the cheese. The cheese was heated at 75°C for 12 minutes and then run through a modified commercial 3D printer, fitted with a syringe.
The groundbreaking results
showed the printed cheese was
about 49 per cent softer than the
untreated processed cheese.
The technology was used to
create several unusual shapes
including a cheese teddy bear.

A research team from the
University of New Mexico visited
real life hunters and gatherers,
the Tsimané people, and
measured 705 adults from 85
villages to calculate their risk of
heart disease.
While 85% had no
cardiovascular issues at all, only
13% were at low risk, compared
to 50% of Americans with
moderate to high heart problems.
Professor Hillard Kaplan suggests
an active life paired with a diet
low in saturated fats, high in fish,
will help reduce heart problems If
you can’t get to South America.
The report was originally
published in The Lancet journal.
