A year-long study found that elderly individuals adhering to a Mediterranean diet showed significant changes in their gut microbiota, leading to reduced frailty risk, lower inflammation, and improved cognitive function.
A new study from the University of Chile suggests that common artificial sweeteners may trigger biological changes that are passed down to future generations. The research focused on sucralose and stevia, two of the world’s most widely used non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS). The additives could alter gut microbiota, gene expression and metabolism in mice, with some effects persisting in their first- and second-generation offspring, even in offspring who were never directly exposed to the...
