STORY AT-A-GLANCE Vitamin E supports a healthy pregnancy — Vitamin E intake during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of food allergies in newborns by stabilizing immune responses and lowering histamine levels Vitamin E alters histamine production — Researchers found that α-tocopherol, a specific form of vitamin E, prevented severe allergic reactions by […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Suppression of mitochondrial ATP production prevents apoptosis and activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key player in inflammation and disease Inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) lead to changes in mitochondrial cristae structure and retention of cytochrome c, which is necessary for NLRP3 activation but not sufficient on its own Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE BPH is not just a part of aging — While prostate enlargement becomes more common with age, research shows that metabolic dysfunction is also a key driver of disease progression Inflammation fuels prostate growth — Men with BPH have higher levels of inflammatory lipids that promote tissue remodeling and chronic inflammation Metabolic dysfunction […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Genipin, derived from gardenia plants, restores nerve development, and reduces neurodegeneration in patients with familial dysautonomia, a rare genetic disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system Originally discovered as a blue dye source in the 1980s, genipin has evolved from a food science application to a therapeutic compound with several medical applications Genipin […]
By: Ashley Armstrong STORY AT-A-GLANCE Our ancestors consumed large quantities of bread (up to 16 pounds weekly for men and 8 pounds for women in the 1880s) without widespread digestive issues seen today. Pre-harvest desiccation with glyphosate (increased 400% in two decades) leaves residues in wheat products that may disrupt gut microbiome and contribute to […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Oral diseases now affect 3.5 billion people worldwide, making them the most widespread health conditions, yet many overlook their link to serious diseases Poor oral hygiene contributes to chronic inflammation, increasing the risk of stroke and atrial fibrillation, but simple habits like flossing significantly reduce these risks A study presented at the American […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Aspartame triggers unnatural insulin spikes by stimulating the vagus nerve, leading to metabolic dysfunction and increased fat storage Research shows that aspartame-driven insulin surges fuel chronic inflammation in blood vessels, accelerating the progression of atherosclerosis and heart disease Artificial sweeteners alter gut bacteria homeostasis, increasing glucose intolerance that makes blood sugar regulation more […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Rising incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer is linked to changes in the gut microbiome, with specific bacterial strains producing mutagenic chemicals that contribute to cancer risk Global studies are underway to identify mutational signatures associated with gut bacteria. This highlights the significant role of dysbiosis in colorectal carcinogenesis Understanding the influence of gut […]
STORY AT-A-GLANCE Iron plays essential roles in brain function, helping transport oxygen and create neurotransmitters, but if excess iron accumulates in brain tissue, it disrupts normal cellular processes Research shows higher iron levels in Alzheimer’s patients’ brains correlate with cognitive decline severity, suggesting iron buildup directly contributes to disease progression Scientists have revealed that malfunctioning […]
