Study finds most sustainable diet indices overlook industrial food processing

A scoping review of 57 studies found that most tools used to assess sustainable diets focus on food production and consumption while largely ignoring food processing and other stages of the food system. The findings suggest that overlooking ultra-processed foods and processing impacts may lead to incomplete sustainability assessments and highlight the need for more comprehensive evaluation frameworks.

Nearly 70 weeks after infection, long COVID patients show no detectable inflammation in blood tests

A controlled Norwegian case-control study examined circulating biomarkers of inflammation and neuronal injury in people with long COVID about 69 weeks after infection. The researchers found no significant differences in systemic inflammatory or neuroinjury markers compared with recovered controls after statistical correction.

Study uncovers a biological cause for persistent taste loss after COVID-19

Some individuals have experienced a loss of taste long after a COVID-19 infection has subsided. Researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala University and the University of Colorado have now shown that this may be due to a disruption in taste cells that would otherwise give rise to experiences of sweet, bitter or umami.
