While the relationship between the consumption of fatty foods and obesity might seem straightforward enough, the metabolic processes that underpin it are incredibly complex. Scientists are unraveling these mechanisms piece by piece, with the latest exa… Continue reading Scientists uncover a key metabolic driver in uptake of fatty acids
A trio of recent studies are uncovering compelling new insights into the role gut bacteria play in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). From discovering higher than average bacterial loads in tissue samples from diabetes patients, to a newly disco… Continue reading Gut microbiome studies reveal new bacterial links with diabetes
Researchers from the University of Sydney have discovered how intermittent fasting influences key metabolic pathways in the liver. The study offers new insights into how fasting can confer certain health benefits and hypothesizes the development of spe… Continue reading Study discovers novel ways intermittent fasting improves liver health
A small but compelling new study out of Yale University is suggesting low-calorie sweeteners can disrupt metabolic processes, but only when consumed with carbohydrates. The research presents a conclusion that aims to reconcile previously conflicting st… Continue reading Low-cal sweeteners combined with carbs may cause metabolic dysfunction
The news this week was dominated by the novel coronavirus outbreak centered in Wuhan, China. Despite draconian quarantines and international travel restrictions, the infection has spread far beyond China, at least in small numbers. A few cases have been reported in the United States, but the first case reported here …read more
