Preliminary research from USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, found that non-smokers diagnosed with lung cancer before age 50 reported eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains—and had higher overall Healthy Eating Index scores—than the U.S. population average. The researchers emphasized that the results do not prove diet causes lung cancer and said a possible explanation could involve environmental exposures such as pesticides, a hypothesis that requires direct testing.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University discovered that mice strongly prefer carbohydrate-rich foods like bread and rice, leading to weight gain even without increased calorie intake. The animals burned less energy, accumulating fat due to metabolic changes. The findings challenge assumptions about carbs and obesity.
Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Dadan Hindayana, clarified that the state budget allocation for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program is Rp268 trillion, not Rp335 trillion as rumored.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have found that erythritol, a common sugar substitute, disrupts brain blood vessel cells in ways that could elevate stroke risk. The study exposed cells to levels from a single sugar-free drink and observed reduced vessel relaxation, impaired clot breakdown, and increased oxidative stress. The findings appear in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
