 | | |  Can black cumin help fight obesity? New research combining lab experiments and a human trial reveals that black cumin seed not only downregulates the genes that drive fat cell formation but also improves cholesterol levels, highlighting its potential as a natural approach to supporting healthier metabolic outcomes. Study: Black Cumin Seed (Nigella sativa) Confers Anti-Adipogenic Effects in 3T3-L1 Cellular Model and Lipid-Lowering Properties in Human Subjects. | | | | |  Eating lean beef as part of MED diet could improve gut diversity Incorporating lean beef into a Mediterranean diet reduces TMAO levels and improves gut health, highlighting the importance of dietary patterns for wellness. | | | | |  Study clarifies why most colic isn’t caused by cow’s milk allergy Cow’s milk allergy rarely causes infant colic on its own, and most excessively crying infants do not have underlying allergy. A short elimination–and–rechallenge trial may help confirm CMA only when colic coexists with other allergic features. | | | | |  Study shows how ketogenic eating improves hormonal balance in PCOS The very low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet leads to meaningful reductions in weight, visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, and androgen excess in women with PCOS based on pooled randomized trials. Benefits appear consistent across studies, though high heterogeneity, short durations, and limited safety data highlight the need for longer-term comparative research. | |

|  | | | | |  Vegan diet with unhealthy plant foods promotes greater weight loss than Mediterranean diet Eating a vegan diet increases consumption of plant-based foods-including those defined as "unhealthy" by the plant-based diet index-leading to greater weight loss than the Mediterranean diet, finds a new analysis by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine published in Frontiers in Nutrition. | |  | | | | |  Oral GLP-1 pill shows strong weight loss and blood sugar benefits in adults with diabetes A new oral GLP-1 medication can help adults with obesity and Type 2 diabetes lose more weight and improve their blood sugar levels compared to a placebo, according to findings from the ATTAIN-2 trial led by a UTHealth Houston researcher. | | | | | | |  Ultraprocessed diets affect teens and young adults differently A study reveals that adolescents consume more calories on ultraprocessed diets, highlighting a critical vulnerability in modern food environments. | | | | | | |  Researchers identify the key habits that help adults eat more slowly Eating slowly and chewing well in Japanese adults were strongly associated with savoring food and avoiding eating with a full mouth, with oral health playing an important supporting role. These behaviours varied across age and gender groups, highlighting cultural eating practices and dental factors that shape how people eat across adulthood. | | | | | | |  Kimchi consumption strengthens antigen recognition and immune regulation Amid concerns about the simultaneous spread of multiple respiratory diseases, such as colds and influenza, with the change of seasons in current times, a recent clinical study has scientifically proven that kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, enhances the function of human immune cells and maintains the balance of the immune system. | |

| | | |  Improving diet and increasing physical activity levels together may be more effective at preventing weight gain – particularly harmful fat inside the abdomen – than just changing one of these behaviours, new research from the University of Cambridge suggests. | | | | |  Periods of drought significantly increase human-wildlife conflict in California, with the strongest effects observed in carnivorous species. Conflict reports rise as precipitation declines and peak during the warmest, driest months of the year. | | | | |  Italian researchers found that ultra-processed foods make up about 20 percent of daily calories in adults, with younger, single, and Northern residents consuming the most. Higher adherence to the Mediterranean Diet was strongly linked to lower UPF intake across all sociodemographic groups. | | | | |  In a new study publishing November 19 in the Cell Press journal Trends in Biotechnology, researchers used a gene-editing technology called CRISPR to increase a fungus's production efficiency and cut its production-related environmental impact by as much as 61%-all without adding any foreign DNA. | | | | |  The study reveals that ultra-processed foods heighten prediabetes risk in young adults with obesity history, stressing the importance of healthy eating habits. | | | | |  Food companies are driving a global rise in ultra-processed food consumption that is damaging our health, and also preventing government action that could limit its harm, an international study reveals. | |
