The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit struck down a USDA loophole that allowed ultra-processed foods containing genetically engineered (GE) ingredients, like corn and soy oils, to avoid federal labeling requirements.

Flavanol-rich foods like dark chocolate and berries may enhance memory by aligning stress hormone activity with the brain’s optimal window for forming long-term memories, according to research from Japan’s Shibaura Institute of Technology. Mice given flavanols one hour before learning tasks showed about a 30 percent improvement in recognizing new objects, linked to a surge […]

Your winter defense starts with proper nutrition: How DIET supports immunity
A strong immune system relies on a balanced mix of nutrients (vitamins C, D, A, zinc, iron, magnesium, selenium), not a single “superfood.” About 70 percent of immune defenses are located in the gut, so supporting gut health (e.g. with fermented foods) is key. Vitamin C supplements won’t necessarily prevent colds in healthy people, but […]

Gene edited tomato human trial begins — raising alarms over safety, oversight and public trust
The ViTaL-D Study, led by the Quadram Institute and John Innes Centre, recruited 76 adults with low vitamin D to test if a gene edited tomato soup can boost vitamin D over 21 days. In the engineered tomatoes, a targeted gene is disabled so 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) accumulates; when exposed to UVB light on the tissue […]

Consuming NUTS can support cognitive health and weight control, research finds
A recent trial found that eating 50g of walnuts at breakfast improved memory and reaction times in young adults, with effects lasting throughout the day. Studies show that including nuts in calorie-restricted diets does not hinder weight loss—and may even improve outcomes like cholesterol and blood pressure compared to nut-free diets. Nuts are rich in […]

Study suggests drinking 10 cups of black tea daily lowers heart disease risk
A meta-analysis of 14 observational studies suggests that drinking 10 cups (1.2L) of unsweetened black tea daily is linked with a 16? percent lower risk of heart disease compared to non-tea drinkers, whereas drinking just two cups yields a smaller five percent reduction. The analysis included 958,477 participants, among whom 16,990 developed heart disease; the authors argue the […]

British study links Mediterranean diet to healthier gums and lower inflammation risk
A British study of 195 adults found that high adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet (rich in vegetables, legumes, fruits, whole grains, olive oil and moderate lean protein) was associated with healthier gums, whereas higher red meat consumption was linked to more severe periodontitis. After controlling for age, gender, smoking and other confounders, low adherence to […]

The invisible contaminants in your vegetables: Study outlines NANOPLASTICS being detected in radishes
A study has found that nearly five percent of polystyrene nanoplastics exposed to radish roots were retained in the root system after five days. Of that retained amount, ~25 percent moved into the fleshy, edible root (the bulb) and ~10 percent reached the leaves. The study used hydroponically grown radishes exposed only by their underground […]

High blood pressure may increase Alzheimer’s risk, but hope remains through lifestyle and treatment
Elevated systolic blood pressure (the “top” number) is linked to an eight to 11 percent higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. People with untreated high blood pressure have about a 36 percent higher risk of Alzheimer’s compared to those without hypertension and about 42 percent higher risk compared to those who are treated. Mechanisms include […]
