It’s not just about what you eat or how much you move—when you eat and sleep may be just as important for your metabolic health. A recent study published in npj Digital Medicine shows that irregular meal and sleep patterns can significantly raise the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

For millions of people, starting the day without a cup of coffee is unthinkable—and the faster the prep, the better. But new research published in Nutrients is putting instant coffee under the microscope for a surprising reason: its possible link to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in older adults.

For years, plant-based eating has been championed as the gold standard for a longer, healthier life and a stronger heart. But new research published in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology serves as a needed reminder: not everything labeled “vegan” or “plant-based” is automatically good for you—especially when it comes to your cardiovascular health.

A new experimental drug may open the door to an alternative path for tackling obesity—one that does not rely solely on appetite-suppressing medications. Researchers at the University of Washington have tested a compound called CPACC, which works by stimulating brown fat to burn calories more efficiently, generating heat instead of storing excess energy.

A new analysis presented at Nutrition 2025 by researchers at Johns Hopkins University challenges the FDA’s updated definition of what foods can carry a “healthy” label. According to the study, the majority of foods and beverages consumed by U.S. adults—including many widely recognized as nutritious—do not meet the agency’s new criteria.

Fat to Fit the Healthy Mag gained firsthand insights into new findings presented by researchers from Loma Linda University at Nutrition 2025.

A study presented at Nutrition 2025 by researchers from Tufts University and several Chinese institutions examined the effects of vegetarian diets on healthy aging among older adults. Using data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), the researchers analyzed 2,858 individuals aged 60 to 79 who had a high potential of reaching age 80 without chronic diseases or functional or cognitive decline.

A newly developed blood test may soon change how celiac disease is diagnosed. Unlike current methods that often require patients to consume gluten again — risking painful symptoms — this test identifies gluten-reactive immune activity without reintroducing gluten into the diet.

A recently published in vitro study raised new concerns about erythritol, a sugar substitute commonly found in low-carb and "sugar-free" products. The research, conducted by scientists at the University of Colorado, suggests that erythritol may impair the function of brain endothelial cells—those that line the blood vessels in the brain.

On June 6, 2025, the FDA announced a voluntary recall of more than 20 million cage-free and organic brown shell eggs by August Egg Company, based in Hilmar, California, following a confirmed outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis.

Colorectal cancer ranks among the world’s leading cancer killers. While genetics and age are well-known risk factors, recent science confirms a critical threat: obesity significantly boosts colorectal cancer risk—by 30–50%, according to a new study published in Cancers.

For decades, public health campaigns and medical professionals have framed weight loss as the primary path to better health. But emerging research challenges that perspective. Today, science shows that eating well can bring about profound metabolic improvements—even when the number on the scale barely changes.
