A major new study finds that swapping out refined carbs for whole foods in low-carb diets can significantly reduce inflammation, offering a clear path to better long-term health. Study: Low Carbohydrate Diet Patterns that Favor High Quality Carbohydrates are Associated with Beneficial Long-term Changes in Biomarkers of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in the Framingham Offspring … Read more
Emerging contaminants from rubber tires N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) and its oxidation product 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ)-are raising new red flags for aquatic ecosystems. A recent study reveals that prolonged exposure to these chemicals at environmentally realistic levels disrupts lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, causes liver injury, and alters behavioral patterns in zebrafish. The research shows that 6PPD primarily accumulates … Read more
Two meals, three sequences, one finding: meal type, not the order of eating, shapes how long we chew and eat. Bento meals increased duration and chewing, while pizza prompted faster, shorter eating. Study: The Meal Type Rather than the Meal Sequence Affects the Meal Duration, Number of Chews, and Chewing Tempo. Image Credit: Aedka Studio / Shutterstock … Read more
