 Indian adapted Mediterranean diet targets inflammation in heart disease trialIndian adapted Mediterranean diet targets inflammation in heart disease trial
 
The paper describes a single-center randomized controlled trial testing whether an Indian Adapted Mediterranean Diet can reduce dietary inflammation in adults with stable coronary artery disease or moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk. The protocol will assess changes in the Dietary Inflammatory Index, inflammatory biomarkers, cardiometabolic risk factors, body measurements, and metabolic hormones over six months.
 
 
 CDC report reveals what 24 years of nutrition biomarkers say about America’s healthCDC report reveals what 24 years of nutrition biomarkers say about America’s health
 
The 2026 CDC Nutrition Report will make nearly 24 years of NHANES biomarker data easier to use, covering up to 131 nutritional biomarkers in the US population aged 1 year and older. By standardizing blood and urine biomarker trends, demographic patterns, and comparisons of supplement use, the report aims to support nutrition policy, clinical reference intervals, and public health monitoring.
 
 
 Diet and inflammation may play a role in progressive vitiligoDiet and inflammation may play a role in progressive vitiligo
 
A small case-control study linked higher Dietary Inflammatory Index scores with progressive vitiligo, suggesting that pro-inflammatory dietary patterns may be associated with disease occurrence or progression. The findings support further research into diet, inflammation, and the gut-skin axis as potential targets for vitiligo prevention and management.

Eating foods that contain common preservative food additives may increase the risks of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, according to research published in the European Heart Journal today.
 
   GLP-1 drugs may help curb addiction by targeting reward pathwaysGLP-1 drugs may help curb addiction by targeting reward pathways
 
GLP-1 receptor agonists, already used for Type 2 diabetes and obesity, show promise in reducing alcohol and drug-seeking behaviors through central reward and dopamine-related pathways. Most evidence remains preclinical, with limited early human data, so larger clinical trials are needed before these drugs can be recommended for addiction treatment.

High-dose vitamin D3 in pregnancy may boost children’s memory by age 10High-dose vitamin D3 supplementation from mid-pregnancy to early postpartum was associated with better verbal and visual memory in children at age 10. The post hoc analysis suggests prenatal vitamin D3 exposure may support selected cognitive functions, although findings require cautious interpretation.
 
 
 Weight loss helps older AF patients slim down, but does not ease symptoms
 
Weight loss helps older AF patients slim down, but does not ease symptomsAn 8-month low-calorie diet plus behavioral support helped older adults with overweight or obesity and persistent atrial fibrillation lose weight safely, with no intervention-related serious adverse events. However, the LOSE-AF trial found no meaningful improvement in AF symptoms, rhythm control, AF burden, cardiac remodeling, or further AF procedure rates compared with usual care.
