ONE in every 100 people is estimated to suffer from autism, but a cure for the brain disorder could be on the horizon! Recent research indicates blocking specific cells during pregnancy could prevent the disorder from developing in children. Scientists at NYU Langone Medical Center injected pregnant mice with an acid to make their immune systems produce the protein IL-17a, which helps fight infections. They found when the levels of the protein are too high in expectant mice, autism and diseases like asthma and irritable bowel syndrome can develop in fetuses. The cells that release the protein are called TH17. When the researchers stimulated TH17 carriers to produce higher levels of the protein, baby mice exhibited autismlike symptoms when born. Blocking the cells led to normal structure in the brains…

GLOBE’S NO-NONSENSE OPINION PAGE GLOBE columnist Jeff Rodack tells it like it is about celebrities — how they get under his skin with their stupid antics and the nonsense they try to put over on the public. Here is his unique take on Hollywood newsmakers and fakers. THERE ought to be a law to stop Justin (Punky) Bieber from owning pets.

YOU BE THE JUDGE POLL RESULTS IN THE Feb. 8 issue of GLOBE, we asked: Should stars shut up about other people wearing fur? And readers growled back! While plenty of voters were sick of celebrity preachers, voters backed the anti-fur army by a 2-to-1 margin! Here are the results: YES (SHUT UP!): 32% NO (KEEP TALKING): 68% Plenty of voters added passionate comments. “No! Wearing fur of any kind is WRONG,” texted a Wisconsin reader. “I believe that everybody should be able to wear what they want,” countered an Arizonian, “they should shut up about the fur.” But this text from Colorado sums up the anti-fur attitude: “There is no reason to kill animals for fur ... It is just an ego trip for sick bastards.”…

A CALCULATING woman dubbed a “black widow” because she spun a murderous web — even hiring her own husband as a hit man — has pled guilty for her role in the death of her lover’s wife! Slick-talking Nichole Houchin, 37, copped a plea for her involvement in the horrific death of 42-year-old Dana Mackay — who was beaten into a bloody pulp by Houchin’s husband. Houchin hatched her plan after her lover John Mackay, 45, discussed snuffing his wife because she refused to give him a divorce. He even told Nicole he’d pay $20,000 to “help get rid of his wife.” But Mackay’s lawyer claims that Nicole was really the brains behind the plot. He described her as a “black widow” spider-woman who lured the three men into her…

FRYING your food may be a healthier way to cook, experts say, as long as you’re preparing vegetables and fruits — and using extra-virgin olive oil. Conventional wisdom has long held that eating fried food is bad for you. But now a team of scientists in Spain has discovered that greasing up the skillet with olive oil can increase the antioxidant capacity of raw vegetables, which are linked to preventing serious diseases like cancer and diabetes. “Oil increases the amount of phenolic compounds in vegetables, which is the opposite to boiling,” says Professor Cristina Samaniego Sánchez of the University of Granada, where the research was undertaken. Cristina’s team studied whether cooking with olive oil, water or both had an effect on the amount of diseasefighting compounds in foods like potatoes,…
