Summary: Glycyrrhizin and erythritol are sugar substitutes that offer potential benefits for gut health, with glycyrrhizin boosting protective bacteria and erythritol being microbiome-friendly. However, both have potential risks, such as hypertension and cardiovascular concerns, respectively. Choosi...

Summary: The phageome, a vast collection of viruses in the gut, plays a crucial role in maintaining bacterial balance and overall health. These bacteriophages control bacterial populations and offer potential therapeutic benefits for gut-related diseases. Understanding and harnessing the phageome co...

Summary: Artificial sweeteners, often seen as a healthier alternative to sugar, may pose hidden risks, particularly for those with diabetes, obesity, or metabolic syndrome. Emerging research links these substitutes to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and metabolic disturbances. Caution is ...

Summary: Alzheimer’s disease is increasingly being recognized as “Type 3 Diabetes” due to its strong association with insulin resistance. This connection suggests that the metabolic dysfunction seen in diabetes plays a crucial role in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, contributing to neurodegeneratio...

Summary: Emerging data suggests that we might have underestimated the other reversible causes of dementia. Thus, one of the new retrospective studies found elevated FIB-score in 13% of dementia patients. Considering that poorly managed hepatic disease may cause hepatic encephalopathy, leading to a d...

Summary: Obesity and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) have become the leading causes of liver transplants, surpassing viral hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease. The rise of MAFLD, driven by metabolic dysfunction, highlights the need for early diagnosis and intervention to prevent l...

Summary: Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a systemic disorder linked not only to liver complications but also to increased risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and several other health conditions. Recognizing MAFLD's broader impact is crucial f...

Summary: The FIB-Score is a critical tool for the early detection of liver fibrosis, especially in patients with metabolic disorders like MAFLD. Its ease of use, high specificity, and cost-effectiveness make it ideal for widespread screening, thereby reducing missed diagnoses and improving overall p...

Summary: High dietary fiber intake is known to be associated with better metabolic health.
However, a new study comparing different types of dietary fibers found that beta-glucan,
which is especially high in whole grains, is among the best for weight loss.

Everyone has heard that dietary fibers are g...

Summary: Oxalates, found in many plant foods and produced by the body, can contribute to
inflammation, organ damage, and immune system dysregulation when levels are chronically high.
These compounds can accelerate aging and worsen conditions like arthritis, liver disease, and kidney
issues by forming c...

Summary: The German Neurology Society warns that excessive sugar intake may significantly
increase the risk of dementia. The rise in dementia cases correlates with increased sugar
consumption, highlighting the damaging effects of high sugar on brain health, particularly through
vascular damage and neur...

Summary: The world has seen a sudden rise in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and
Parkinson’s. This rise is significantly attributed to the rise in metabolic disorders. Now, one of the
large clinical studies shows that even how body fat accumulates may increase the risk of
neurodegenerative...
