How ultra-processed foods shape Crohn’s disease risk and what dietary strategies can really help

This narrative review synthesizes evidence showing that higher intake of ultra-processed foods is consistently associated with increased Crohn’s disease risk, with mechanistic pathways implicating emulsifiers, carrageenan, maltodextrin, titanium dioxide, sweeteners and salt. It also highlights that minimally processed dietary strategies, including EEN and CDED, show therapeutic promise, particularly in pediatric Crohn’s disease.

How specific foods reshape oxidative stress responses during and after high-intensity training

Carbohydrate-rich foods blunt acute oxidative stress during fasted high-intensity exercise, while polyphenol-rich foods accelerate early recovery by reducing post-exercise ROS. Findings highlight how nutrient timing shapes redox responses in sedentary young women undergoing resistance-circuit HIIT.

What happens to your body when you eat takeaway food too often?

This study of 8,556 US adults shows that frequent takeaway food consumption is associated with a higher energy-adjusted Dietary Inflammatory Index and adverse cardiometabolic markers. The findings suggest that reducing takeaway intake and lowering dietary inflammatory potential may improve long-term cardiometabolic health.

What happens to your body during an ultramarathon? New study reveals key metabolic changes

This study tracked ultramarathon runners across 100 km, 160.9 km, and 230 km events to examine real-world metabolic, hormonal, and muscle stress responses. Severe energy deficits, muscle damage, and heterogeneous hormonal shifts were observed, with the greatest strain seen in the 230 km distance.

Why the form of vitamin B12 you take may matter more than your intake

This comprehensive review examines vitamin B12 absorption, physiological roles, deficiency states, and dietary sources, with particular attention to differences between natural and synthetic forms. The authors conclude that while all B12 forms raise circulating levels, methylcobalamin may offer advantages in specific clinical contexts, especially where absorption or metabolic conversion is impaired.

Filtered coffee shows a causal link to healthier HbA1c levels

Genetically predicted filtered coffee consumption is causally associated with lower HbA1c levels, while other coffee preparation methods show no such benefit. This effect appears to be partly mediated by increases in propionate producing gut bacteria, particularly Veillonella.

Addition of tucatinib to the standard of care delays disease progression in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer

Adding tucatinib (Tukysa) to first-line maintenance therapy with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and pertuzumab (Perjeta) delayed disease progression in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, potentially extending time off chemotherapy, according to results from the phase III clinical trial HER2CLIMB-05 presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 9-12, 2025.

Tec-Dara could represent a new standard of care for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma who received a combination of teclistamab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody, and daratumumab, a CD38-directed monoclonal antibody, were 83% more likely to be alive without disease progression compared with those who received standard second-line therapies at a median of nearly 35 months of follow-up, according to the results of a new trial presented at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition.

National study maps where food additives come from in children’s and adults’ diets

By analysing nationally representative diet data, researchers show that food additives rarely occur alone, with children and teenagers experiencing the highest exposure to complex additive mixtures largely driven by ultra-processed foods.

Sterilized fermented beverage targets obesity and type 2 diabetes pathways in computational study

Researchers profiled a terminally sterilized probiotic-fermented MFH beverage and identified aporphine alkaloids and flavonoids with favorable predicted ADMET properties. Integrated network pharmacology, molecular docking, and 100-ns MD simulations suggest multi-target engagement of metabolic-inflammatory pathways relevant to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
