A new trial investigates whether the MIND diet can be scaled for obesity management https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251214/A-new-trial-investigates-whether-the-MIND-diet-can-be-scaled-for-obesity-management.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nutrition_newsletter_18_december_2025 A new trial investigates whether the MIND diet can be scaled for obesity managementThis study protocol outlines a 12-week randomized trial testing whether a MIND diet intervention is feasible, acceptable, and sustainable for adults with obesity in Sweden. It will generate preliminary evidence on adherence, mental well-being, and gut microbiota changes to inform larger efficacy trials. Scientists map how cinnamon’s bioactives interact with cancer signaling https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251215/Scientists-map-how-cinnamone28099s-bioactives-interact-with-cancer-signaling.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nutrition_newsletter_18_december_2025 Scientists map how cinnamon’s bioactives interact with cancer signalingThis review synthesizes preclinical evidence showing that cinnamon-derived compounds can modulate inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and angiogenesis through multiple cancer-related signaling pathways. While biologically plausible, the findings are largely limited to cell and animal models, underscoring the need for pharmacokinetic, safety, and clinical validation. Swapping high-carb snacks for tree nuts cuts food cravings in young adults at metabolic risk https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251214/Swapping-high-carb-snacks-for-tree-nuts-cuts-food-cravings-in-young-adults-at-metabolic-risk.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nutrition_newsletter_18_december_2025 Swapping high-carb snacks for tree nuts cuts food cravings in young adults at metabolic riskDaily replacement of typical high-carbohydrate snacks with mixed tree nuts for 16 weeks reduced cravings for sweets and fast foods in young adults with early metabolic syndrome risk. This dietary swap improved overall diet quality, measured by the Healthy Eating Index, without increasing body weight or altering short-term glycaemic markers. How ultra-processed foods shape Crohn’s disease risk and what dietary strategies can really help https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251211/How-ultra-processed-foods-shape-Crohne28099s-disease-risk-and-what-dietary-strategies-can-really-help.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nutrition_newsletter_18_december_2025 How ultra-processed foods shape Crohn’s disease risk and what dietary strategies can really helpThis narrative review synthesizes evidence showing that higher intake of ultra-processed foods is consistently associated with increased Crohn’s disease risk, with mechanistic pathways implicating emulsifiers, carrageenan, maltodextrin, titanium dioxide, sweeteners and salt. It also highlights that minimally processed dietary strategies, including EEN and CDED, show therapeutic promise, particularly in pediatric Crohn’s disease. What happens to your body during an ultramarathon? New study reveals key metabolic changes https://www.news-medical.net/news/20251210/What-happens-to-your-body-during-an-ultramarathon-New-study-reveals-key-metabolic-changes.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nutrition_newsletter_18_december_2025 What happens to your body during an ultramarathon? New study reveals key metabolic changesThis study tracked ultramarathon runners across 100 km, 160.9 km, and 230 km events to examine real-world metabolic, hormonal, and muscle stress responses. Severe energy deficits, muscle damage, and heterogeneous hormonal shifts were observed, with the greatest strain seen in the 230 km distance.
