A troubling reality in the baby food aisle
A large majority (71%) of baby and toddler foods in the U.S. are ultra-processed, defined as industrial formulations with five or more additives not typically used in home kitchens. These products are dominated by additives like flavor enhancers, thickeners, emulsifiers and artificial colors and contain nearly twice the sugar of less-processed options, with added sugars […]

New research reveals vitamin A’s pivotal role in turning “bad” fat into “good” fat
Moderate cold increases vitamin A levels in the body, which signals energy-storing white fat to convert into energy-burning brown fat, a process that generates heat and consumes calories. Experiments showed that when the vitamin A transport system is blocked, the body cannot effectively convert white fat to brown fat or generate heat in response to […]

The green shield: Leafy vegetables are science’s newest defense against decline
Modern research strongly links diets rich in leafy greens to reduced risks of cognitive decline, heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity, positioning them as foundational tools for public health. Leafy greens are rich in antioxidants and micronutrients (like folate, vitamin K and carotenoids) that protect the brain. Consuming just one extra serving daily is […]

The new addiction: How ultra-processed foods are engineered to hook a nation
Ultra-processed foods are declared addictive, with researchers from leading universities comparing their engineered, compulsive-consumption potential directly to that of tobacco. These foods are deliberately engineered to hijack the brain’s reward system, using strategies like combining refined carbs and fats for rapid dopamine release and stripping out fiber for quick absorption. The industry employs “health washing,” […]

Magnesium is a critically important mineral that supports over 300 bodily processes, including energy production, muscle and nerve function, bone health and the regulation of blood pressure and sugar. Magnesium deficiency is widespread and linked to major health issues, with about half of American adults not meeting the recommended intake, increasing risks for heart disease, […]

The gut-skin connection: New study suggests a simple dietary fiber could be a winter skin savior
A rigorous clinical trial demonstrates that daily supplementation with a specific prebiotic fiber (partially hydrolyzed guar gum or PHGG) can significantly improve skin hydration and barrier function, supporting the concept of a gut-skin axis. After six weeks, participants taking five grams of PHGG daily showed a 4-8% increase in skin hydration and a 12-17% decrease […]

The fry factor: New Harvard study exposes a crispy culprit in higher diabetes risk, exonerates the humble spud
A large 30-year Harvard study found eating three servings of French fries per week increased Type 2 diabetes risk by 20%, while non-fried potatoes (baked, boiled, mashed) showed no significant risk increase. Replacing French fries with whole grains (like brown rice or quinoa) reduced diabetes risk by 19%. However, swapping non-fried potatoes for refined grains […]

The unprocessed truth: Slashing ultra-processed food intake unlocks dramatic health gains
Ultra-processed foods dominate the American diet and are a primary driver of poor health, constituting nearly 60% of average caloric intake. Cutting consumption in half yields rapid health improvements, including significant weight loss, reduced calorie intake and better energy and mood, as shown in recent clinical studies. Long-term consumption is strongly linked to chronic disease, […]
