Watch nowDespite ongoing prevention efforts, type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders affect millions worldwide, but the strategic combination of two common lifestyle approaches may offer new potential for disease management. Researchers tested whether combining vitamin D supplementation with structured exercise improves blood sugar control, lipid levels, and vitamin D status more than either approach on its own. This work pooled 18 randomized controlled trials in adults, totaling 1,104 participants drawn from groups with varying health conditions. Interventions paired vitamin D supplementation,... cholesterol diabetes exercise insulin resistance metabolism vitamin d triglycerides

Watch nowSince the introduction of high fructose corn syrup in the 1960s, fructose consumption has tripled worldwide. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22922366/) Excess sugar consumption degrades health by contributing to obesity and promoting cancer initiation and progression. Findings of a recent report elucidate the mechanisms by which fructose improves survival of and nutrient absorption by intestinal cells. Fructose absorption begins in the epithelium (i.e., skin-like cells) of the small intestine, which measures approximately 320 square feet in surface area (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/246942... cancer obesity sugar

Watch nowAverage sugar consumption in the United States has increased 50 percent since the 1970s, due in part to the use of high fructose corn syrup in beverages and other processed foods. The mechanisms by which added sugars lead to metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver disease have been explored in research using mouse models; however, the dose of sugar used in these animal studies is usually much larger than what is normally consumed by people. Authors of this report investigated the effects of human-relevant doses of added sugars on health and ... sugar metabolism cholesterol mortality blood sugar sugar-sweetened beverages reproductive health

Watch nowReaction time and mood were improved in young individuals that consumed blackcurrant berry drink with 500 mg of polyphenols compared to placebo in a small pilot randomized controlled trial. EEG data also showed the blackcurrant drink changed brainwave activity. This was a small trial with a crossover study design, which means each person serves as their own control. Both the blackcurrant drink and the placebo drink had 6.98 g of sugar (glucose +fructose). They also both had the same amount of vitamin C...the only difference was that the placebo drink lacked the 500 mg of polyphenols. Conclusio... brain diet vitamin a polyphenol
Read moreNew clinical trial shows that people that were given whole grains had a modest improvement in a good type of gut bacteria, modestly lowered inflammatory gut bacteria, and modestly increased memory T cells after 6 weeks compared to those given refined grains. Since this study compared gut bacteria, inflammatory biomarkers, and immune cells in people given whole grains versus refined grains it is difficult to draw any conclusions about whole grains compared to no grains. However, there have been other intervention trials that have shown whole grains lowered inflammatory biomarkers possibly throu... microbiome inflammation immune system fiber gluten
