Colorectal cancer in people under 50 is surging worldwide, especially in high-income nations. Emerging research now links the trend directly to ultra-processed foods.

Sugar sweetened drinks have faced criticism for years, with diet versions often viewed as safer. A new study ties both sugar-filled and artificially sweetened drinks to elevated chances of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), the severe liver disorder previously named nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

A new obesity definition released earlier this year significantly increases the estimated rate of obesity in the U.S. The new criteria includes body measurements such as waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, and waist-to-hip ratio, alongside BMI.

A recent study indicates that caffeinemay interfere with the pathways that enable antibiotics to function effectively.
A recent study suggests that consuming high-fat foods for just a few days can trigger issues, including cognitive decline. Availability of brain glucose is rapidly and reversibly reduced, activating inhibitory neurons and disrupting memory formation. The results highlight the significant role of nutrition in contributing to cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Juicing is frequently viewed as a nutritious method to boost intake of vitamin-packed fruits and vegetables, whether as a daily habit or a cleanse for detox or weight loss.
