French children and adults widely consumed foods likely to contain live microbes, mainly yogurt, unpasteurised cheese, fruits, and vegetables. Higher intake was associated with more nutrient-rich diets and better diet quality scores, but the cross-sectional study cannot prove health benefits.
 
 
 Blueberries may boost children's memory and moodBlueberries may boost children's memory and mood
 
Research suggests blueberry compounds could enhance mood and cognitive function in children, yet stronger evidence is required for clinical recommendations.
 
   Childhood sugary drinks and fruit juice linked to higher adult blood pressure riskChildhood sugary drinks and fruit juice linked to higher adult blood pressure risk
 
The study finds sugary drinks and fruit juice linked to hypertension, highlighting whole fruit as a healthier alternative for long-term heart health.
 
   Botanical prebiotics may steer skin microbes toward healthier balanceBotanical prebiotics may steer skin microbes toward healthier balance
 
Researchers tested plant-derived prebiotic candidates against selected skin-associated bacteria and found that garlic, flaxseed, and mango ginger extracts inhibited S. aureus or acne-associated C. acnes in vitro. Onion and guduchi extracts modestly promoted S. epidermidis, suggesting a microbiome-targeted skincare route that now needs validation in skin models and human studies.
 
   Okra supplements may lower cholesterol and inflammation markers in diabetesOkra supplements may lower cholesterol and inflammation markers in diabetes
 
A new meta-analysis suggests that okra may modestly improve key cardiovascular risk markers in people with diabetes, but researchers warn that the evidence is not strong enough to replace standard medical care. Study: Biological aging and generational shifts in early-onset cancer risk.
 
 Gut microbes emerge as potential players in estrogen-driven cancers
 
Gut microbes emerge as potential players in estrogen-driven cancersA new review maps how the endocrine-microbiome axis expands the estrobolome concept, showing that gut microbes may alter estrogen recycling, produce hormone-like metabolites, and shape inflammation and tissue environments in hormone-driven cancers.
 
 
 Breast milk sugars help shape infant gut microbiota during weaning
 
Breast milk sugars help shape infant gut microbiota during weaningResearch from DTU and Rigshospitalet shows that sugars in breast milk play an important role in the development of the gut microbiota, during weaning or transition from breast milk to solid food.
 
 
 Concerns about weight regain after yo‑yo dieting are largely unfounded, review shows

Breastfeeding linked to longer sleep duration in one year old infantsThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life because of its many proven benefits, including protection against infections and support for healthy long-term development.
 
 
 Scientists find a universal gut microbiome pattern linked to colorectal cancer
 
Scientists find a universal gut microbiome pattern linked to colorectal cancerResearchers analyzed 6,779 stool microbiome profiles and 906 tissue samples to identify a colorectal cancer microbial signature that remained consistent across age groups, populations, and sequencing methods. The signature aligned with tumor-resident microbes, showed weaker detection for adenomas, and was inversely associated with dietary fiber intake.
