Updated: 2024-06-18 15:57:05Researchers performed a study to quantify highly processed food consumption and to investigate its association with diet quality among Japanese children and adolescents. Highly processed foods (HPFs) accounted for over one-fourth of the total energy intake amongst youths. Consumption was negatively associated with the intake of healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables and pulses, and positively associated with the consumption of confectioneries.How the ketogenic diet improves healthspan and memory in aging mice
Updated: 2024-06-17 21:37:22The ketogenic diet has its fanatics and detractors among dieters, but either way, the diet has a scientifically documented impact on memory in mice. While uncovering how the high fat, low carbohydrate diet boosts memory in older mice, scientists identified a new molecular signaling pathway that improves synapse function and helps explain the diet's benefit on brain health and aging.A high-fat diet may fuel anxiety
Updated: 2024-06-17 21:35:47New research shows when animals are fed a diet high in saturated fat for nine weeks, their gut bacteria change in ways that influence brain chemicals and fuel anxiety.Gonadal function in male mice disrupted by prenatal risk factors
Updated: 2024-06-14 19:54:34Researchers have consistently shown that prenatal exposure to Di (2-ethyhexyl) phthalate harms the reproductive system in male mice and causes fertility defects. In a new study, scientists have shown that the combination of DEHP and a high-fat diet in pregnant mice can cause more damage to pups than each factor alone.Low-sodium alternatives can lead to major health gains in Indonesia
Updated: 2024-06-14 02:19:26Excess sodium intake and a lack of potassium are major contributing factors towards high blood pressure in Indonesia, prompting calls for low-sodium potassium-rich salt substitutes (LSSS) to be readily available to improve health and curb health costs.Does having a child with low birth weight increase a person's risk of dementia?
Updated: 2024-06-12 21:31:16People who give birth to infants less than 5.5 pounds may be more likely to have memory and thinking problems later in life than people who give birth to infants who do not have a low birth weight, according to a new study. The effect on memory and thinking skills was equivalent to one to two years of aging for those with low-birth-weight deliveries.Obesity-cancer connection discovery suggests strategies for improving immunotherapy
Updated: 2024-06-12 15:32:42Immune system cells called macrophages play an unexpected role in the complicated connection between obesity and cancer.

Updated: 2024-06-10 18:02:39People who eat a healthy, sustainable diet may substantially lower their risk of premature death in addition to their environmental impact, according to a new study. This large study directly evaluates the impacts of adherence to recommendations in the landmark 2019 EAT-Lancet report. The researchers have named the dietary pattern outlined in the report -- which emphasizes a variety of minimally processed plant foods but allows for modest consumption of meat and dairy foods -- the Planetary Health Diet (PHD).Women with excess weight as a teen or young adult may have higher stroke risk by age 55
Updated: 2024-06-06 19:23:16Women with excess weight at age 14 or 31 may have increased ischemic (clot caused) stroke risk before age 55. The same ischemic stroke risk was not found in men.
