環境ワーキンググループ（EWG）の新研究によると、残留農薬の多いイチゴ、ほうれん草、ピーマンなどの果物・野菜を多く摂取すると、尿中の農薬レベル上昇と相関することが明らかになった。この研究は食事摂取を主な曝露経路として強調しつつ、農産物の健康上の利点を指摘。主要な知見は、累積農薬影響のより良い監視の必要性を強調している。
環境ワーキンググループ（EWG）の研究者らは、食事の選択が農薬曝露にどのように影響するかを評価するためデータを分析した。この研究は2025年にInternational Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Healthに掲載され、2013年から2018年の米国農務省残留データと、2015年から2016年の米国疾病対策センター（CDC）の国民健康栄養調査（NHANES）の1,837人の参加者の食事調査および尿サンプルを組み合わせたものだ。

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.
The overall toxicity of pesticides applied worldwide has risen significantly from 2013 to 2019, affecting various groups of organisms despite a United Nations goal to reduce risks by 2030. Researchers developed a measure called applied toxicity to assess this burden across 201 countries. The trend highlights growing challenges from pesticide resistance and shifting chemical use.

Building on warnings like the 2025 Lancet series, researchers link ultra-processed foods to health issues including obesity and cancer, though mostly via correlations. A landmark 2019 trial provides the strongest causal evidence by showing overeating on such diets. Debates continue on regulations amid concerns over practicality.
Polyphenols, natural plant compounds acting as antioxidants, help reduce inflammation and support health, according to experts cited in a Vogue article. Registered dietitians recommend incorporating berries, dark chocolate, coffee, artichokes, apples, nuts, seeds, and herbs. These foods provide varying amounts of polyphenols, with benefits linked to disease prevention.

A new poll reveals that nearly half of U.S. adults do not know processed meat is linked to higher colorectal cancer risk. Conducted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and Morning Consult, the survey of 2,202 adults from February 9 to 11, 2026, found strong support for warning labels after respondents learned of the connection. Experts highlight the need for better education amid rising cases in younger adults.
