About 2% of cancers are by medicine considered to be purely caused by genetic factors. The same range as within the animal kingdom. You haven’t been told the whole truth.

  • Scientists discover why Ozempic and Wegovy weight loss eventually plateaus
    on May 25, 2026

    New NIH research reveals that semaglutide sparks different responses inside appetite-controlling brain cells, offering fresh insight into why GLP-1 weight-loss drugs don’t work the same for everyone. Scientists also found a possible way to extend the drugs’ effects, potentially helping patients push past weight-loss plateaus.

  • Common heart drug taken by millions found useless — and possibly dangerous
    on May 25, 2026

    A massive international study could upend 40 years of heart attack treatment. Researchers found that beta blockers—routinely prescribed after uncomplicated heart attacks—offered no real benefit for patients whose heart function remained normal, despite being given to millions worldwide. Even more surprising, women taking the drugs faced a higher risk of death, repeat heart attack, or hospitalization for heart failure compared to women who didn’t receive them.

  • Scientists discover why some DNA-doubled cells refuse to die
    on May 25, 2026

    Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic material — a mistake linked to aging, cancer, and other major diseases. Researchers discovered that not all of these failures are equal.

  • Beet juice lowers blood pressure in older adults in just 2 weeks
    on May 25, 2026

    Drinking nitrate-rich beetroot juice may do more than support heart health — it could actually reshape the bacteria living in the mouth in ways that help lower blood pressure in older adults. In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that older people who drank concentrated beetroot juice twice daily for two weeks experienced noticeable blood pressure reductions, while younger adults did not.

  • Scientists supercharge natural killer cells to fight aggressive cancers
    on May 25, 2026

    Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking two proteins, researchers turned these cells into far more effective cancer fighters against difficult cancers like leukemia, glioblastoma, kidney cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer.

  • Scientists discover hidden liver switch that cuts harmful cholesterol
    on May 25, 2026

    Scientists at UT Southwestern have uncovered a surprising new “master switch” that helps control how much cholesterol the liver sends into the bloodstream. The newly identified protein, HELZ2, works by shutting down the genetic instructions needed to produce apoB — a key building block of the cholesterol-carrying particles linked to clogged arteries and heart disease.

  • Surprising research reveals why you shouldn’t add bananas to your smoothies
    on May 24, 2026

    Researchers found that adding bananas to berry smoothies can dramatically reduce the body’s ability to absorb healthy flavanols. The surprising discovery shows that even simple food combinations can change how much nutrition your body actually gets.

  • Effect of Yoga and Meditation on Human Gut Microbiota: A Systematic Review
    on May 20, 2026

    The evidence from the clinical studies on the influence of yoga and meditation on gut microbiota in humans has been summarized in this systematic review. Searches were conducted until November 2023 in four electronic databases: SCOPUS, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Controlled Registry of Trials (CENTRAL) to find relevant studies published in English. Studies on the influence of yoga and meditation on gut microbiome in human participants of any age or gender were included in the […]

  • Diet and acne: Facts and controversies
    on May 20, 2026

    The role of diet and nutrition in acne pathogenesis has long been debated. Acne patients consistently report interest in how food may influence their disease, and observational studies have highlighted associations with high glycaemic load diets, skim/low-fat milk, whey protein supplements and an unbalanced omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid (FA) ratio. In this review, we discuss the potential role of diet on acne pathogenesis, including dairy, omega-3 FAs, low glycaemic load diet, vegan and…

  • Flaxseed Mucilage as a Functional Egg Replacer in the Preparation of Mayonnaise: Stability, Physicochemical, and Sensory Properties
    on May 15, 2026

    Mayonnaise is a widely consumed food dressing worldwide. Traditionally, it is prepared by emulsification of oil with egg yolk. However, the use of eggs is limited due to their cholesterol-rich content, allergenicity, and high price, as well as the vegan and healthy dietary preferences of consumers. Flaxseed mucilage, as a natural hydrocolloid gum, exhibits comparable functional properties, especially emulsifying activity, to commercial gums. In this study, egg yolk in mayonnaise was […]

  • Severe Hypocalcaemia with Elevated PTH and Normal Vitamin D: A Diagnostic Pitfall due to Chronic Negative Calcium Balance in a Vegan Patient
    on May 14, 2026

    CONCLUSION: A chronic negative calcium balance is an under-recognised cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Measurement of urinary calcium is a key diagnostic tool in these patients.

  • Plant-based diets for human health with implications for cardiometabolic health, gut microbiome, and nutritional adequacy
    on May 14, 2026

    Plant-based diets have gained considerable interest in recent times due to their perceived health and environmental benefits. However, the term “plant-based diet” refers to a broad range of diets with a wide range of differences in food quality and nutritional content. This article aims to summarize the available evidence regarding the health and environmental impacts of plant-based diets, including new trends and issues. Epidemiological studies, RCTs, and life cycle assessment studies were…
