The selenium on your food label may not be the selenium your body actually gets. A new study shows gut microbes intercept, transform, and redirect this essential mineral before your cells ever see it.
A bacterium that normally lives in your mouth has been caught colonizing tumors across six cancer types, rewriting immune signals and accelerating metastasis in ways that could reshape how oncologists think about treatment resistance.
Glyphosate is now detectable in drinking water, rainfall, and animal feed across the globe, and scientists are racing to find nutrients and compounds that can blunt its biological damage. A sweeping new review reveals how far that research has come, and how much further it needs to go.
For workers already breathing lead-contaminated air, what they eat may determine how much of it stays in their blood. A new study from Java links low zinc and vitamin D intake to nearly 2.5 times higher odds of dangerous blood lead levels.
Every breath of polluted air and every sip of microplastic-laced water leaves a fingerprint in your gut. A sweeping new review reveals exactly how environmental contaminants rewire the microbiome to drive chronic disease.
Plant compounds already sitting in your kitchen cabinet may be quietly reshaping the bacteria in your gut, and a sweeping new review suggests that shift could be one of the most promising angles yet in the fight against obesity.
Eight common food preservatives, including potassium sorbate and sodium nitrite, are linked to significantly higher rates of high blood pressure in a study of more than 112,000 people.
Soybean oil is already tied to obesity and diabetes. Now researchers at UC Riverside have found it may be quietly dismantling your gut bacteria and opening the door to colitis.
