Gut methane may shape how many calories people absorb from fiber, ASU study finds
Heather Vogel AI에 의해 생성된 이미지 사실 확인됨
Arizona State University researchers report that people who produce more methane in the gut tend to extract more metabolizable energy from a fiber‑rich diet, pointing to microbiome differences that could inform personalized nutrition. The work appears in The ISME Journal (2025) and was highlighted by ASU on October 24, 2025.
Neurons use fat—not just sugar—for energy, study ties pathway to rare brain disorder
Heather Vogel 사실 확인됨
Researchers in Australia and Finland report that neurons can fuel themselves with fat as well as sugar, challenging long‑held assumptions about brain energy. The discovery, published in Nature Metabolism, links a lipid‑processing enzyme to a rare hereditary spastic paraplegia and suggests that targeted fatty acid supplements may restore cellular energy in laboratory models.
Study connects ultra-processed foods to brain changes
An international study of nearly 30,000 people has linked frequent consumption of ultra-processed foods to differences in brain structure. These changes may contribute to overeating and food addiction, though causation remains unproven. Researchers emphasize the need for further evidence on how food additives affect the brain.
International agencies decry malnutrition crisis in northern Nigeria
International non-governmental organizations have urged Nigeria's government and partners to act swiftly to save 600,000 severely malnourished children in northern states. The appeal came during the 16th Africa Food Security and Nutrition Day commemoration. Without intervention, 96,000 children risk death from October to December 2025.
Lancet review questions gluten as main driver of most ‘gluten sensitivity’ symptoms
Heather Vogel 사실 확인됨
A University of Melbourne–led review published in The Lancet on October 22, 2025, argues that many symptoms attributed to non‑coeliac gluten sensitivity are more often linked to FODMAPs, other wheat components, and gut–brain interactions than to gluten itself. The authors call for better diagnostics, individualized care, and a shift away from unnecessary gluten avoidance.

Bananas may reduce flavanol absorption in smoothies, UC Davis-linked study finds
Heather Vogel AI에 의해 생성된 이미지 사실 확인됨
A small UC Davis–affiliated trial reports that a banana-based smoothie markedly lowered the body’s uptake of flavan-3-ols—about 84% less at peak plasma levels than after a control capsule—an effect the researchers link to the fruit’s polyphenol oxidase enzyme.
Randomized trial finds certain processed hard fats did not worsen short-term heart risk markers

A small randomized crossover study found no meaningful differences in cholesterol or other short‑term cardiometabolic markers when healthy adults consumed either palmitic‑rich or stearic‑rich interesterified fats for six weeks apiece.
Study links higher fruit and vegetable intake to better same‑day sleep
Heather Vogel 사실 확인됨
Researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine and Columbia University report that eating more fruits and vegetables during the day was associated with better sleep that night in healthy young adults. Meeting a five‑cup daily intake used to represent CDC recommendations was linked to an estimated 16% improvement in sleep quality, based on objective measures. The authors describe this as the first study to show a same‑day association between diet and objectively measured sleep.
New iron supplement treats anemia without gut irritation
Researchers have developed a three-in-one iron supplement combining iron, probiotics, and prebiotics to treat iron-deficiency anemia while preserving gut health. In studies on mice, the formula restored hemoglobin levels and balanced gut bacteria without causing inflammation. This innovation could improve anemia treatment by reducing common side effects of traditional supplements.
MIT study finds cysteine boosts gut repair in mice
Researchers at MIT have discovered that the amino acid cysteine can enhance the small intestine's ability to heal itself. In experiments with mice, a cysteine-rich diet activated immune cells to promote tissue regeneration after damage from radiation or chemotherapy. The findings, published in Nature, suggest potential dietary strategies to mitigate treatment side effects.
