The Science Podcast explores surprising research that challenges conventional wisdom about dietary protein and cancer mortality while also examining how cats with dementia could unlock mysteries of human Alzheimer's disease. Water expert Cydian Kauffman reveals shocking truths about drinking water safety standards and the presence of "forever chemicals" in our water supply.

• New study shows animal protein may have a slight protective effect against cancer mortality
• Research contradicts previous findings that animal protein increases death risk
• Plant protein showed no association with mortality rates from any cause
• Cats naturally develop amyloid beta plaques similar to those in human Alzheimer's patients
• Studying feline dementia could lead to breakthroughs for both species
• EPA's legal limits for water contaminants are higher than health limits due to cost considerations
• PFAS "forever chemicals" present in water at extremely low but harmful concentrations
• Reverse osmosis systems now more affordable for home water treatment
• Water access directly impacts gender equality in developing regions
• Testing well water crucial as dangerous contaminants like arsenic are odorless and tasteless
