Combining some amount of foraged meat to the predominantly vegan diet did not become a pivotal force in the emergence of human intelligence and brain size.

  • Scientists trick the eye into seeing new color ‘olo’
    on April 23, 2025

    Scientists have created a new platform called ‘Oz’ that uses laser light to control up to 1,000 photoreceptors in the eye at once. Using Oz, the researchers showed people images, videos and a new, ultra-saturated shade of green that they have named ‘olo.’ The platform could be used to probe the nature of color vision and provide new insight into human sight and vision loss.

  • Clinical trials to test vaccine against Alzheimer’s-promoting tau protein
    on April 23, 2025

    Researchers hope to launch human clinical trials in their quest for a vaccine to prevent the buildup of pathological tau after demonstrating that this vaccine generated a robust immune response in both mice and non-human primates.

  • B cells found to be crucial for long-term vaccine protection, new study shows
    on April 23, 2025

    Researchers have uncovered a critical, previously underappreciated role for B cells in vaccine protection. Best known for producing antibodies, B cells also guide other immune cells, specifically CD8 T cells, teaching them how to mount lasting defenses after vaccination.

  • By 15 months, infants begin to learn new words for objects, even those they’ve never seen
    on April 23, 2025

    A new study by developmental scientists offers the first evidence that infants as young as 15 months can identify an object they have learned about from listening to language — even if the object remains hidden.

  • ATP prevents harmful aggregation of proteins associated with Parkinson’s and ALS
    on April 23, 2025

    While a comprehensive cure-all to these neurological conditions is unlikely, scientists are making headway into understanding their fundamental characteristics with the hope of preventing or alleviating cognitive and motor impairments. Researchers have now discovered that ATP, which is most commonly thought of as the ‘fuel’ of our cells, plays a surprising role in relation to neurodegenerative diseases.

  • The antibiotic that takes the bite out of Lyme
    on April 23, 2025

    Piperacillin, an antibiotic in the same class as penicillin, effectively cured mice of Lyme disease at 100-times less than the effective dose of doxycycline, the current gold standard treatment. At such a low dose, piperacillin also had the added benefit of ‘having virtually no impact on resident gut microbes.’

  • Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome may be driven by remnants of infection
    on April 23, 2025

    Scientists believe they know what causes the treated infection to mimic chronic illness: the body may be responding to remnants of the bacteria that causes Lyme that tend to pool in the liver and joint fluid.

  • Living longer and lifestyle: A report on the oldest of the old in the Adventist Health Study-2
    on April 23, 2025

    CONCLUSION: Our Adventist Health oldest of the old cohort shared many of the characteristics observed among the individuals that make up the long-living cohorts worldwide as well as younger aged Adventist participants. This observation indicates the importance of non-smoking, abstinence from alcohol consumption, daily engagement in regular physical activity, avoidance of disease in older ages, and following a plant-based diet concerning the potential for successful aging.

  • Metabolomic profiling of a cholesterol lowering plant-based diet from two randomized controlled feeding trials
    on April 22, 2025

    CONCLUSIONS: Many of these metabolites likely reflect the plant-based nature, low saturated fat content, and cholesterol-lowering effects of the diet, such as increased N2-acetylornithine, L-pipecolic acid, lenticin, and decreased C18:0 lipids and cholesteryl esters. Further research is needed to validate these metabolites as biomarkers of a plant-based dietary pattern.

  • Dietary intakes and nutritional adequacy of Australians consuming plant-based diets compared to a regular meat-eating diet
    on April 18, 2025

    CONCLUSION: PBDs, while higher in beneficial nutrients and wholefood groups than regular meat-eaters, may lead to nutritional inadequacies if not planned appropriately.

  • Why is the medical profession reluctant to talk about diet change?
    on April 16, 2025

    The intertwined crises of poor health, climate change, biodiversity loss and social injustice demand urgent action. Human activities, particularly fossil fuel use and the current food system, are key drivers of these crises. A transition to a plant-based diet, especially within healthcare systems, offers a significant opportunity to address these challenges. Diets high in animal products and ultra-processed foods are leading causes of chronic ill health and environmental degradation, while…

  • Evaluation of protein intake and protein quality in New Zealand vegans
    on April 16, 2025

    Dietary protein provides indispensable amino acids (IAAs) that the body cannot synthesise. Past assessments of total protein intake from vegan populations in western, developed countries were found to be low but not necessarily below daily requirements. However, plant-sourced proteins generally have lower quantities of digestible IAAs as compared to animal-sourced proteins. Simply accounting for protein intake without considering AA profile and digestibility could overestimate protein […]
