Newswise — Heart disease and type 2 diabetes rank among the leading causes of death and disability in the United States, and eating a healthy diet rich in plant-based foods can help to prevent or delay both of these conditions. New research suggests that a particular component of plant-based foods, known as phytosterol, could be…
Newswise — A new study that followed almost 200,000 people for several decades has found that when it comes to heart health, the quality of food consumed matters as much as following a low-carbohydrate or low-fat diet. The results suggest that choosing healthy, high-quality foods is key to protecting the heart. In the past two…

Newswise — Barcelona, 13 May 2025 – Just as species adapt over generations, our body’s cells accumulate DNA changes throughout life. Most are harmless, yet a few “driver” mutations give a cell a competitive edge and can spark cancer. Chemotherapy then adds a new evolutionary pressure, encouraging further genetic changes that let tumours bounce back….
Newswise — Four leading organizations in lifestyle medicine, obesity medicine, and nutrition—the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), the American Society for Nutrition (ASN), the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA), and The Obesity Society (TOS)—have jointly released a clinical advisory titled “Nutritional Priorities to Support GLP-1 Therapy for Obesity.” Published across four peer-reviewed journals, this consensus-based…
In a quietly remarkable advance from European researchers, a pair of existing cancer drugs rapamycin and trametinib have been shown to extend the lifespans of mice by up to 35 percent. The study, conducted by scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany, offers promising evidence that longevity-enhancing interventions might not…
Newswise — A landmark study exploring Canadians’ consumption of chips, frozen pizzas, breakfast cereals and other ultra-processed foods typically loaded with fat, sugar and additives has confirmed these foods are directly and significantly linked to poor health outcomes.

Newswise — Everyone has heard of menopause but what about its long-neglected male cousin, andropause? Men also experience hormonal changes with age. And just as menopause is more freely discussed today than it once was, andropause is coming out of the shadows. “It’s the logical next step: we’re bringing attention to bear on the subject…
Newswise — Yale researchers are providing new insights into how physical forces, such as cells being compressed in physically restrictive environments, play key roles in cancer progression. By analyzing liver cancer cells, the researchers found that these cells have a dense tissue matrix, which causes crowding and significant compression within tumors. This physical stress sparks…
Newswise — Philadelphia, PA — The prevalence and severity of rheumatic adverse reactions in cancer immunotherapy is significantly underestimated, due to the lack of standardized screening protocols for malignancies in patients with autoimmune disorders. In response to the need for data collection and diagnostic criteria, researchers have developed a trans-disciplinary approach to safeguard those patients…
