| |  Two new scoring systems reveal that Americans who eat more nutrient-dense grains, whether whole or fortified, have better diets, lower obesity rates, and improved metabolic health. The cross-sectional analysis of NHANES data shows that these “healthy grains” are also affordable and widely available. | |

| |  This study reveals that a low FODMAP diet alleviates IBS symptoms and increases GLP-1 levels, suggesting new avenues for dietary interventions in gut health. | |
|
| |  A week of fasting alters the gut microbiome in type 1 diabetes, aligning it with healthy profiles and enhancing cholesterol and weight management. | |
|
| | University of Arizona researchers devised a new method to deliver cancer chemotherapy drugs to pancreatic and breast cancer tumors more effectively and with less damage to healthy tissues than standard forms of chemotherapy. | |
|
| |  Finnish researchers found that differences in maternal and infant gut microbiota during the first weeks of life were linked to the risk of respiratory tract infections in the first six months. Specific bacteria, including butyrate producers and opportunistic pathogens, may shape early infection susceptibility. | |
|
| |  A systematic review of 17 studies involving 61,332 participants reveals that vitamin D, iron, and certain foods and supplements play critical roles in hair health. Conversely, sugary drinks, alcohol, and excess vitamin A may worsen hair loss and hair quality. | |
|
| |  Researchers discovered that gut microbes, including Lactobacillus reuteri and L. johnsonii, can enhance muscle strength in aging mice. Co-administration of these strains boosted muscle mass, performance, and reduced inflammation, pointing to a possible microbiome-based strategy for muscle health. | |
|
| | From virtual counselors that can hear depression creeping into a person's voice to smart watches that can detect stress, artificial intelligence is poised to revolutionize mental health care for patients with breast cancer. | |

|
| |  Many direct to consumer menopause services are unnecessary and do not improve care, warn experts in The BMJ today. | |
|
| | UCSF scientists caught cancer cells in the act of breaking into fat cells and releasing their fat. The energy heist seems to be critical for the growth of deadly breast cancer. | |
|
| |  A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 7 of Aging (Aging-US) on July 7, 2025, titled "Epigenetic age and accelerated aging phenotypes: a tumor biomarker for predicting colorectal cancer." | |
|
| |  Teaching about periods in schools is still too focused on basic biological facts with insufficient information around how menstruation can affect a woman's mood and wellbeing, problems associated with menstrual bleeding and the impact on physical and academic performance, concludes a new study by UCL (University College London) researchers. | |
|
| |  A new study of NHANES 2017–2023 data shows that most Americans drink far less 100% fruit juice than the Dietary Guidelines allow. Juice consumption was linked to better diet quality, higher nutrient intake, and did not displace whole fruit. | |
