Microplastics found in baby food pouches: 5,000 particles per serving raise alarm for infant health
A single Gerber baby food pouch contains an estimated 5,000 microplastic particles, with Happy Baby Organics pouches showing up to 11,000 particles per pouch. Microplastics are made from more than 16,000 chemicals, including 4,200 known to harm human health, with babies uniquely vulnerable due to rapid organ development. Greenpeace investigation found microplastics in every baby […]

Leafy greens linked to 16% lower risk of chronic lung disease, major study finds
Researchers tracked over 179,000 adults for a decade and found those with the highest vitamin K1 intake had 16% lower risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) One extra serving of leafy greens daily (1.5 to 2 cups of kale, spinach or broccoli) proved sufficient to achieve measurable lung health benefits Vitamin K1 activates a […]

Pesticide in your food: UCLA study links chlorpyrifos to more than double the risk of Parkinson’s disease
UCLA researchers found that long-term residential exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos is associated with a more than 2.5-fold increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The study combined data from over 1,600 participants with laboratory experiments in mice and zebrafish to establish biological plausibility for the link. Laboratory evidence showed chlorpyrifos damages dopamine-producing neurons, triggers brain […]

Hidden link: New study reveals how B12 and folate deficiencies may fuel chronic fatigue
A March 2026 Nutrients study of 602 healthy adults found higher homocysteine levels linked to increased fatigue and lower motivation High homocysteine levels consistently correlated with lower vitamin B12 and folate status in both sexes Men with highest homocysteine levels reported significantly more physical fatigue; women reported lower motivation scores Researchers caution the findings are […]

Alzheimer’s breakthrough: Scientists discover that boosting nitric oxide could be key to prevention
New research in Molecular Cell found that low nitric oxide activity in the brain correlates with worse Alzheimer’s outcomes, including greater plaque buildup and faster memory decline. Nitric oxide helps regulate alternative splicing, a gene editing process that creates diverse protein instructions for brain cells. The study challenges previous assumptions that nitric oxide levels were […]

New study shows Pfizer’s Paxlovid offers no significant benefit for vaccinated high-risk adults, raising questions about billions in federal spending
A major new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found Paxlovid did not reduce hospitalization or death among vaccinated high-risk adults, with hospitalization rates under 1% in both treatment and control groups. The combined PANORAMIC and CanTreatCOVID trials involving over 4,200 participants showed no statistically significant benefit for the antiviral in populations […]

New research finds four supplements that protect the gut during hot weather exercise
Exercise in high heat diverts blood flow from the gut, causing leaky gut, inflammation and harder recovery. A two-strain probiotic lowered heart rate by 14 beats per minute and reduced GI symptoms during hot workouts. Curcumin reduced intestinal injury markers by 29% and stabilized inflammation after just three days of supplementation. Berberine made exercise feel […]

Gut bacteria may shape how your body responds to stress, new study finds
A University of Vienna study of 74 healthy adults found that higher gut microbial diversity was linked to stronger cortisol and stress responses during acute stress tests. Short-chain fatty acids produced by gut bacteria, particularly butyrate and propionate, appear to calibrate the stress response in distinct and opposing ways. The research challenges assumptions that a […]

The hormonal clock: A new frontier in women’s brain health
A major new study finds a woman’s total reproductive lifespan is linked to her long-term cognitive health. Longer exposure to the body’s own estrogen, from a longer span between first period and menopause, is associated with slower cognitive decline. Conversely, the use of menopausal hormone therapy did not show the same protective benefit for brain […]

Diet as defense: How everyday foods could disarm deadly bacteria
New research suggests common dietary proteins like casein (from dairy) and wheat gluten can disarm cholera bacteria, reducing infection levels 100-fold in mice. The proteins work by jamming a syringe-like structure the bacteria uses to attack beneficial gut microbes. This food-based strategy offers a potential alternative to antibiotics, avoiding the risk of creating drug-resistant superbugs. […]
