	Beer, wine or spirits: A large study finds different mortality patterns for each Researchers analyzed data from 340,924 UK Biobank participants and found that high total alcohol consumption was associated with greater all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality, while moderate consumption was linked to increased cancer mortality.

	Discovery of new bacteria opens fresh avenues for prostate cancer research University of East Anglia researchers have discovered the genetic blueprints of 18 new bacterial species collected from prostate cancer patients.

			Scientists found a link between Mediterranean diet blood markers and longer survival Researchers found that a previously validated 67-metabolite blood signature of Mediterranean diet adherence was associated with lower long-term mortality across a Spanish trial population and three US cohorts. Participants with the highest signature scores had a 23% lower relative hazard of death than those with the lowest scores in both populations, although the findings do not establish a causal relationship.

			A 20-year study of 90,000 adults suggests the type of fish you eat matters A Japanese study following 90,944 adults for an average of 20.8 years found that associations between seafood consumption and mortality varied by fish type and sex. Moderate seafood consumption was linked to lower overall mortality among women, while higher intake of omega-3-rich fish in women and unsalted seafood in men was associated with lower cerebrovascular disease mortality.

			Could eating whey protein before meals help reduce blood sugar spikes? A narrative review of 57 randomized trials found that milk and dairy products have inconsistent effects on long-term blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. Whey protein consumed before meals more consistently reduced short-term blood sugar spikes, but further research is needed to establish whether these benefits persist over time.

	Decipher tissue-based molecular test helps personalize high-risk prostate cancer treatment Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men – in 2013, it affected more than one million men across the world.

	Nearly three in four popular comfort foods have something in common, researchers find A US study examining 300 distinct comfort foods identified chips, ice cream, pizza, chocolate, and cookies as the most frequently nominated choices among adults. Researchers found that nearly three-quarters of the foods met hyperpalatability criteria, while approximately 43% were entirely ultra-processed under a strict classification, with relatively small nutritional differences across demographic groups.

	Abiraterone triplet therapy improves long-term survival in metastatic prostate cancer Adding abiraterone to standard treatment provides a lasting survival benefit for men whose prostate cancer has already spread at diagnosis, reinforcing the value of early treatment intensification.

	Why the same healthy diet may not work the same way for everyone A review published in Nutrients proposes a seven-pillar precision nutrition framework that combines biological, behavioral, and environmental information to tailor dietary interventions throughout life. The authors identify potential benefits for cardiovascular, respiratory, blood, and sleep health, while emphasizing the need for further clinical trials to establish effective, accessible, and personalized nutritional strategies.

	Study identifies blood proteins associated with aggressive prostate cancer risk Proteins linked to the immune system, cell adhesion, blood vessel formation and known prostate cancer genes, were associated with the future risk of developing prostate cancer, including aggressive disease, in a new study led by researchers at Oxford Population Health.

	Scientists studied one million immune cells and found clues to future disease risk Researchers developed a single-cell atlas of one million human neutrophils, identifying distinct immune cell populations and gene-expression patterns across tissues, infections, cancer, and other health conditions. Certain neutrophil signatures were associated with metabolic dysfunction, cancer outcomes, and mortality, while higher routine neutrophil counts, even within the normal range, were linked to an increased risk of chronic disease.

	Rice, fish and pickles: Is the traditional Japanese diet as healthy as we think? A systematic review of 37 studies found that greater adherence to predefined Japanese-style dietary patterns was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, based on pooled evidence from three cohort studies. However, health associations varied according to dietary composition, suggesting that traditional Japanese diet scores alone may not adequately distinguish the potential benefits and risks of different food combinations.

	Beef can fit into healthy diets, but what about its environmental cost? A narrative review published in Animal Frontiers highlights beef's contribution to high-quality protein and bioavailable micronutrients, while controlled trials generally found no adverse effects on selected cardiometabolic risk markers, although long-term disease outcomes remain uncertain.

	Like father, like son? Study reveals a surprising pattern in male reproductive health Researchers examining 117 father-son pairs from Denmark and Finland identified weak but statistically significant familial associations in several male reproductive traits, including testicular size, sperm concentration, selected hormone levels, and genital measurements.

	A nine-year study reveals a pattern linking loneliness to heart risk The study reveals that patterns of loneliness and social isolation significantly impact heart health, suggesting new avenues for cardiovascular risk assessment.

	What does emotional intelligence have to do with being happy at work? A study of 244 Lebanese employees found that higher emotional intelligence was associated with greater job satisfaction, better work–life balance, and stronger work engagement. Statistical analysis identified work–life balance and job satisfaction as pathways linking emotional intelligence to engagement, although the cross-sectional findings cannot establish causation.

	Women and men face different heart attack risks with diabetes Cholesterol abnormalities and high blood pressure contribute to diabetes-related heart attack risk, with significant implications for cardiovascular health.

	Your age may not tell the whole story about how healthy you are Researchers developed a five-factor Lifestyle Index assessing physical activity, BMI, smoking, sleep quality, and sexual satisfaction in 312 Swiss adults aged 35 to 65 years. Higher scores were modestly associated with younger bio-functional age, suggesting a relationship between combined lifestyle patterns and functional health, although the findings cannot establish causation.

	Can happy feelings trigger eating too? Researchers explored both sides of emotional eating Among 3,834 members of weight-management programs, greater recent weight loss was associated with less emotional eating, fewer food cravings, and better mood. Participants identified distraction, meal planning, healthier food swaps, and group support as helpful strategies, but the observational study could not establish whether these approaches caused weight loss.

	$8.2 million grant advances on-demand male contraceptive development Weill Cornell Medicine has received a four-year, $8.2 million grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) to develop and test an experimental on-demand male contraceptive pill that temporarily stops sperm in their tracks
