Is fruit juice good or bad for diabetes? New research reveals a genetic twist

Japanese adults with a high genetic risk for type 2 diabetes who consumed 100% fruit juice at least once per week had significantly lower odds of developing the disease. The inverse association was not seen in people with low or moderate genetic risk, highlighting gene-diet interactions.

Ultra-processed foods threaten brain health in kids and teens, review warns

Children, adolescents, and unborn babies exposed to high levels of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) face increased risks of impaired brain development, cognitive deficits, and long-term mental health challenges. The review underscores how UPF-driven changes in reward pathways, nutrient deficits, inflammation, and the gut–brain axis can have lasting impacts across generations.

Early-onset diabetes rates soar among young adults in Sweden

Early-onset type 2 diabetes nearly doubled in Sweden between 2006 and 2021, with the sharpest increases among young adults, ethnic minorities, and those with lower education. Projections show early-onset T2D could triple by 2050, posing a major public health challenge.

How a simple blood test can forecast future health risks

Plasma proteomics reveals that the biological ages of key organs, especially the brain and immune system, strongly predict the risk of future disease and early death. These organ-specific “clocks” provide a new tool for identifying those at highest risk and personalizing preventive care.

Weight loss wipes out senescent fat cells but leaves immune scars, study finds

Researchers have mapped human fat tissue at single-cell resolution, uncovering how obesity alters cellular stress, inflammation, and tissue structure. Weight loss reverses much of this damage, especially senescence in fat and vascular cells, but leaves some immune dysfunction behind.

New molecule linked to muscle loss in people with type 2 diabetes

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered a previously unknown molecule that may explain why people with type 2 diabetes often suffer from muscle weakness and muscle loss - a condition that has a major impact on quality of life and overall health.
