Southern Europe eats closest to the planetary diet, so why is diabetes so high?

Researchers comparing temperature trends, food supplies, and diabetes prevalence across Europe found that Southern Europe had the closest alignment with Planetary Health Diet recommendations, yet also recorded the highest and fastest-rising diabetes prevalence. The exploratory study found inconsistent relationships between warming, dietary composition, and diabetes across regions, suggesting that multiple environmental, lifestyle, and demographic factors warrant further investigation.

Hidden genetic differences in gut bacteria may hold clues to aging

Researchers analyzed approximately 12.8 million gut microbial genetic variants in 10,781 individuals across six cohorts, identifying 940 independent associations with 69 human health characteristics and environmental exposures. Nearly two-thirds of these associations were not accompanied by significant differences in bacterial species abundance, suggesting that microbial genetics can reveal relationships overlooked by conventional microbiome analyses, although causality remains unproven.

A study of 27,000 adults links bean products and soy compounds to lower kidney disease odds

A cross-sectional study of 27,003 adults in Northeast China found that higher consumption of processed bean products and soy isoflavones was associated with lower odds of chronic kidney disease, while plain bean intake showed no significant association. The relationship with soy isoflavones was stronger in women, although the observational findings cannot establish whether these foods protect against kidney disease.

A low-calorie diet and exercise helped 54% of younger adults achieve diabetes remission

In a randomized clinical trial involving 96 adults with early-onset type 2 diabetes and obesity, a 24-week program combining a low-energy diet with supervised exercise achieved diabetes remission in 54% of participants, compared with 4% receiving usual care. The intervention also reduced body fat, largely preserved muscle mass, and improved strength and body-mass-adjusted fitness, although the additional benefits attributable specifically to exercise remain uncertain.

Blueberries reduced blood vessel inflammation in mice, but only with gut microbes present

A preclinical study found that gut microbes help convert blueberry phytochemicals into circulating metabolites, including hippuric acid, that are associated with reduced vascular inflammation. In mice fed a high-fat diet, blueberry supplementation reduced inflammatory markers and monocyte adhesion to blood vessels, but these benefits disappeared following antibiotic-mediated gut microbial depletion.

Heart disease and depression may affect brain aging in an unexpected way

A longitudinal study of 5,423 adults in England found that cardiovascular disease was associated with faster cognitive decline, with the strongest association observed among participants with consistently low depressive symptoms. Those with persistent moderate or high depressive symptoms generally experienced poorer cognitive performance and faster overall deterioration, despite showing a weaker additional association between cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.

Study highlights overlooked pain from diabetes-related foot ulcers

Diabetes-related foot ulcers are often associated with numbness in the feet. According to patients, the fact that these ulcers can also cause severe and unpredictable pain does not receive sufficient attention within the healthcare system, according to a doctoral thesis from the University of Gothenburg.
