 U.S. study links ultra-processed foods to lower odds of fertilityU.S. study links ultra-processed foods to lower odds of fertility
 
A cross-sectional NHANES study of 2,582 U.S. women found that higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with lower odds of being classified as fertile based on self-reported infertility history. Greater Mediterranean diet adherence was linked to higher odds of fertility in adjusted models, but that association was no longer significant after accounting for obesity.

In a 12-week randomized trial, replacing refined wheat with wholegrain rye in a calorie-restricted diet did not produce greater weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity. Wholegrain rye did, however, lower C-reactive protein and alter gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids in ways that may have positive cardiometabolic implications.

AI tools for adolescent diet planning may fall short, consistently underestimating nutrient intake and energy needs compared to individualized dietitian plans.
 
   Study finds a clear link between ultraprocessed food and heart disease riskStudy finds a clear link between ultraprocessed food and heart disease risk
 
A prospective analysis of 6,531 adults in the multiethnic MESA cohort found that higher ultraprocessed food intake was associated with a graded increase in incident ASCVD risk, with each additional daily serving linked to about a 5% higher risk. The association was stronger in Black participants, while no significant interaction was seen by sex or income.
 
 Higher meat intake may slow cognitive decline in older adults with APOE ε4
 
Higher meat intake may slow cognitive decline in older adults with APOE ε4In older Swedish adults, higher meat intake was associated with slower cognitive decline and lower dementia risk among people carrying APOE ε3/ε4 or ε4/ε4, but not among other genotype groups. A higher processed-to-total meat ratio was linked to worse dementia outcomes, while unprocessed red meat and poultry showed no substantial difference.
 
 
 A healthier thymus predicts longer life and lower cancer and heart disease risk in adults
 
A healthier thymus predicts longer life and lower cancer and heart disease risk in adultsImaging-based analysis of over 27,000 adults shows that better thymic health is strongly associated with lower all-cause mortality, reduced lung cancer risk, and improved cardiovascular outcomes. The findings suggest the thymus remains biologically relevant in adulthood, linking immune aging, inflammation, and chronic disease risk, although causality cannot be established.
