 Dutch study shows why plant-based eating can miss key nutrientsDutch study shows why plant-based eating can miss key nutrients
 
A Dutch dietary modeling study found that replacing major animal-based protein sources with plant-based substitutes reduced protein, EAA, vitamin, and mineral intake across age groups. Older adults, adolescents, children, and women were especially vulnerable to shortfalls, highlighting the need for planned substitutions, fortified foods, and age-specific dietary guidance.

A national NHANES analysis of 9,405 U.S. adults aged 50 and older found that any yogurt, prebiotic, or probiotic consumption was associated with about 50% lower odds of self-reported colorectal cancer. Because the study was cross-sectional, it cannot prove causation but supports further research into microbiota-targeted dietary strategies.

Researchers followed 79 U.S. adults for 70 days and found that daily lifestyle behaviors clustered with positive and negative affect across same-day, next-day, and between-person patterns. Person-specific networks showed that these daily habits and mood links varied widely, suggesting future lifestyle interventions may need to be more personalized.
