	Fermented dairy was linked to lower mortality, but the pattern shifted at higher intakes Analysis of 37,366 US adults found that fermented dairy consumption was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, with consumers showing adjusted hazards 18% and 20% lower, respectively, than non-consumers. Dose-response analyses indicated that the inverse association was concentrated at intakes below about 150 grams per day, while the observational study could not establish causality.

	Prenatal cannabis exposure linked to subtle brain and behavioral differences in children A large ABCD study of 10,838 children found that prenatal cannabis exposure was associated with small differences in resting-state brain connectivity, higher behavioral and emotional problem scores, and lower performance on several cognitive measures in late childhood.

			Children of single mothers by choice show favorable birth outcomes The children of single mothers who conceive through medically assisted reproduction (MAR) have similar outcomes to babies of partnered mothers who had conceived naturally, a UCL-led study has found.

			Sugary drinks stood out in this stomach cancer study, but diet drinks did not In two large US prospective cohorts, consuming more than one sugar-sweetened beverage a day was associated with higher gastric cancer incidence compared with consuming less than one serving a month. Artificially sweetened beverages were not associated with gastric cancer incidence, and the authors called for further studies to confirm the findings and clarify possible biological mechanisms.

			Common chemical exposures in pregnancy may be linked to early attention and memory Researchers examined whether prenatal exposure to aromatic amines and cotinine was associated with attention, processing speed, and memory in 250 infants assessed at 7.5 months. The study found mixed patterns across cognitive measures, with several estimates suggesting poorer attention or memory but carrying substantial statistical uncertainty.

	Can maternal diet prevent infant food allergy? A large trial puts eggs and peanuts to the test A large Australian randomized trial of 2,137 pregnant women tested whether substantially increasing egg and peanut consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding could prevent food allergy in infants with a strong family history of allergic disease.

	Adolescent cannabis use disorder diagnoses rise after legalization New diagnoses of cannabis use disorder (CUD) among adolescents in Northern California began climbing after recreational cannabis was legalized in California in 2016, reversing a steady decline in the three years prior, according to a new study published in the journal Addiction.

	Cognitive reappraisal strategy alters sensory brain activity in autistic children For many autistic children, everyday sensations such as the feel of scratchy fabric or a loud car alarm can be intensely distressing.

	Beetroot juice may make swimming feel easier without making swimmers faster A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 studies, with nine contributing data from 120 swimmers, found no significant improvement in swimming time-trial performance or post-exercise blood lactate with beetroot juice or dietary nitrate supplementation. Supplementation produced a small reduction in perceived exertion, but the effect varied across studies, and the certainty of evidence for swimming performance was low.

	Childhood adversity strongly linked to poor mental health in young adults Emerging adults with an average age of 19 who experienced four or more adverse childhood experiences had substantially higher rates of depression, suicidal ideation, hard drug use, and interpersonal violence than those who reported no childhood adversity.

	Bacterial strains determine pneumonia and meningitis risk from air pollution Air pollution leads to different risk of bacterial pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis, depending on the subtype of bacteria a person has, new research suggests.

	Sex differences in infant attention are present hours after birth Cambridge scientists have shown that girls and boys show differences in what they pay attention to, even at birth.

	Finnish adults eat too little of some foods and too much of others, study finds Analysis of dietary data from 1,655 Finnish adults found that usual food intake often differed substantially from the quantitative targets later set by the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023. Plant-based foods were generally underconsumed, while red and processed meat and dairy intake frequently exceeded study targets, with adherence varying by sex, education, physical activity, age, and energy intake.

	Childhood trauma linked to risky health behaviors in late adolescence Experiencing childhood trauma appears to increase a young person's likelihood of smoking, substance use and developing unhealthy eating habits by contributing to behavioral problems during adolescence, such as impulsivity and poor self-control.

	Interaction with miniature animals improves the mood of adolescents Interacting with animals can make people feel calmer and less lonely and anxious. A new study from the University of California, Davis, shows that animals play an active role in shaping these interactions and their outcomes.

	Study explains how stroke promotes aggressive glioma tumor growth Researchers at Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI), Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions show in Nature Cancer that stroke promotes glioma growth and uncovered cellular and molecular mediators involved in the process, linking brain injury to malignant brain tumors.
