 New study questions poultry's health halo amid rising cancer risksNew study questions poultry's health halo amid rising cancer risks
 
A new analysis from Italian cohort studies found that consuming over 300 g of poultry per week is linked to significantly increased risk of death from gastrointestinal cancers, especially in men. Moderate meat intake, particularly red meat in controlled quantities, was paradoxically associated with reduced all-cause mortality.
 
 
 Chitosan clears microplastics from the gut in rats within daysChitosan clears microplastics from the gut in rats within days
 
A study in rats found that ingesting chitosan, a dietary fiber from shells, significantly increased the fecal excretion rate and decreased the gut retention time of polyethylene microplastics. This suggests chitosan could potentially help mitigate microplastic accumulation in the digestive system.
