These discoveries may not just save our own lives, but the lives of people we love. Nearly every innovation that defines our era, every breakthrough from my field and from those of my colleagues, traces back to basic science research.
There has been increasing attention on seed oils, with some claiming these oils promote inflammation and raise cardiometabolic risk. Our study, based on almost 1,900 people, found that higher linoleic acid in blood plasma was associated with lower levels of biomarkers of cardiometabolic...
Auburn Berry, a graduate student who led the research, said: 'While erythritol is widely used in sugar-free products marketed as healthier alternatives, more research is needed to fully understand its impact on vascular health.'
Data locked away benefits no one, but when data is shared responsibly and carefully with bright minds everywhere, we get results that will give us all a healthier future.
"Women recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes showed nearly double the risk of pancreatic cancer and almost five times the risk of liver cancer, underscoring crucial health implications."
There is still so much to learn about the connection between our gut microbiome and chronic disease. University labs make important discoveries in this area.
An international study has found that drinking more than four cups of coffee daily may reduce the risk of head and neck cancer by 17%. This research, encompassing data from over 25,000 individuals, presents the strongest evidence yet for coffee's cancer-fighting potential.
