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 Tokyo University of Science have discovered that combining common plant compounds from mint, eucalyptus, and chili peppers dramatically enhances their anti-inflammatory effects in immune cells. Certain pairings amplified the response several hundred-fold compared to individual use. The findings, published in the journal Nutrients, suggest potential for new dietary approaches to combat chronic inflammation.

A Stanford Medicine-led randomized trial in the United States found that a five-day-per-month fasting-mimicking diet was linked to improved patient-reported symptoms and lower biological markers of inflammation in adults with mild-to-moderate Crohn’s disease. The results were published in Nature Medicine.
The ruling bloc led by the Liberal Democratic Party remains committed to passing the fiscal 2026 budget by the end of March, as deliberations continue in the House of Representatives Budget Committee.

They are also calling for the preparation of a stopgap budget in case the regular budget is delayed into April or beyond.

A large-scale study in Israel has found that toddlers from vegan and vegetarian families grow at similar rates to those from omnivorous households by age two, despite slight early differences. Researchers analyzed data from 1.2 million children born between 2014 and 2023. The findings suggest well-planned plant-based diets can support healthy early development.
