HEALTH NEWS Flavonoid found in citrus slows lung cancer cell growth in lab tests Prenatal supplement linked to improved child cognition and social behavior Antibiotic use from childhood linked to higher odds of IBS in young adulthood Pure cranberry juice may help protect teeth from decay Smartphones are wrecking teens' sleep, study indicates Flavonoid found in citrus slows lung cancer cell growth in lab tests Friedrich–Alexander University Erlangen–Nurnberg (Germany), October 20 2026 (Medical Xpress) Quercetin is found in citrus fruits, onions and buckwheat and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Now researchers at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen at Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have investigated how the plant compound could help treat lung cancer. In the lab, experiments showed that quercetin slows the division of lung cancer cells and almost completely stops their migration. The results have appeared in the journal Cell Death Discovery. Quercetin led to the tumor cells dividing more slowly in the experiments. In one of the two types of lung cancer cells studied, the plant compound also reduced oxidative stress. This stress is caused by reactive oxygen compounds in cells and can lead to the development of cancer. Quercetin had a particularly pronounced effect on the migration of cancer cells—a key prerequisite for them to form metastases. The higher the quercetin dose, the fewer cancer cells migrated. At the highest dose, the migration almost completely stopped,. In the studied cancer cells, the amounts of EGFR and PD-L1 decreased. EGFR takes up growth signals and transmits them into the cell. PD-L1 can help cancer cells hide from the body's own immune defenses.\ Prenatal supplement linked to improved child cognition and social behavior University of Colorado, October 20 2026 (Medical Xpress) A nutritional supplement taken during pregnancy may support fetal brain development and improve children's cognitive performance and social behavior, according to new research from the University of Colorado. The randomized clinical trial, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, found that children whose mothers took phosphatidylcholine, a form of choline found naturally in foods, had fewer social withdrawal problems and scored higher on cognitive tests than children whose mothers received a placebo. This is the largest randomized clinical trial of prenatal choline supplementation ever conducted. What this study showed that we have not observed before was an increase in the overall IQ of about eight points when measured at age 4. That put significantly more children into the higher IQ percentile on the test we used. Researchers enrolled 206 pregnant women, randomly assigning them at 16 weeks of pregnancy to receive either 9,000 milligrams of phosphatidylcholine daily or a placebo until delivery. Researchers assessed children's behavior from 18 months to 4 years of age and measured cognitive performance at ages 3 and 4. Among children whose parents completed behavioral assessments, 4% in the supplement group had elevated social withdrawal problems, compared with 24% in the placebo group. These behaviors can include limited interest in other people, withdrawing from social activities and reduced eye contact. Children in the supplement group also scored an average of nearly eight points higher on standardized cognitive tests than children in the placebo group. Researchers also observed significantly fewer children with behavioral profiles and language difficulties commonly associated with autism spectrum disorder in the supplement group. Antibiotic use from childhood linked to higher odds of IBS in young adulthood University of Gothenburg (Sweden), October 19 2026 (Eurekalert) IBS is a common digestive disorder that affects more than 60 million people across Europe, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. Whilst previous research has suggested a link between antibiotic use and IBS, evidence on whether childhood exposure is associated with IBS in adulthood remains inconsistent. Researchers analysed data from 2,853 participants in the population-based Swedish birth cohort. Antibiotic prescriptions were obtained from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register, when participants were aged 9–11 years, until one year before IBS was assessed at age 24. The researchers examined whether participants had received antibiotics, the total number of prescriptions received, and the classes of antibiotics prescribed. At age 24, 10.0% of participants had IBS, of whom 79.4% were female. Antibiotic use was more common among those with IBS, with 87.8% having received antibiotics during the study period compared with 80.2% of those without IBS. After account
HEALTH NEWS Fermented tea kombucha shows promise in reducing depression-like behaviors, animal study reveals Brief self-care meditation delivers body confidence boost, study shows Researchers Discover What Reading for Pleasure May Be Doing to Your Brain Popular sports supplement may help shield the brain from damage linked to gut inflammation The Gut-Muscle Connection: Fermented Foods May Influence Muscles Via Gut, Review Says Fermented tea kombucha shows promise in reducing depression-like behaviors, animal study reveals University of Minnesota, October 20 2026 (Natural News) Researchers found kombucha consumption linked to fewer depression-like behaviors in mice across different diets. The fermented tea altered gut bacteria composition, affecting pathways involved in tryptophan metabolism and serotonin production. Behavioral benefits varied by diet type, with Western-diet mice showing additional anxiety reduction and brain chemistry changes. Mice on standard diets experienced increased short-chain fatty acids, supporting gut barrier function. Brief self-care meditation delivers body confidence boost, study shows La Trobe University (Australia), October 18 2026 (Eurekalert) A three-week online self-compassion meditation program can produce improvements in body appreciation and positive wellbeing, while reducing body dissatisfaction. Australian adults who completed the self-compassion meditation training reported significantly increased body appreciation, positive wellbeing and lower self-judgement. The benefits were still evident six weeks after the program concluded and frequency of practice alone did not drive the size of change. The randomised controlled trial, published in the journal Mindfulness, involved 227 people, aged 18 to 39 years. Participants in the intervention group undertook 20 minutes of daily self-compassion, while those in the control group remained on the waitlist. Many body image interventions focus directly on appearance concerns, but the study found that simply encouraging people to treat themselves with greater kindness and understanding can improve how they feel about their bodies. Fostering self-compassion, which encourages individuals to respond to personal difficulties with greater kindness and mindful awareness rather than harsh self-criticism, may be key to enhancing body appreciation rather than mindfulness practice alone. Researchers Discover What Reading for Pleasure May Be Doing to Your Brain University of Cambridge, October 19, 2026 (Scitech Daily) Reading for pleasure may do far more than provide entertainment. A scientific review published in Psychological Medicine links the habit to better mental health, stronger cognitive abilities, and a lower risk of dementia. Research also suggests that reading is associated with measurable differences in brain structure, although scientists are still investigating whether reading directly causes these changes. Researchers from the University of Cambridge examined evidence spanning childhood through old age. Their findings suggest that reading for enjoyment, whether alone or with others, may support brain health in several ways, with some benefits potentially appearing after just a few minutes. Reading may also provide psychological benefits throughout adulthood. Surveys associate reading for enjoyment with lower stress, greater relaxation, stronger empathy, and more openness to different perspectives. In one survey, nearly two in five adults (38%) identified reading as their preferred way to unwind. A neuroscience study reported that just five minutes of reading fiction could reduce stress by up to 20%. The potential benefits of reading extend into later life, when preserving memory and thinking abilities becomes increasingly important. In a study of nearly 5,500 adults aged 55 and older, participants who frequently engaged in mentally stimulating activities, including reading, were significantly less likely to develop cognitive impairment during five years of follow-up. Popular sports supplement may help shield the brain from damage linked to gut inflammation Universidad de Sevilla (Spain), October 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) The gut-brain axis is a two-way biochemical hotline, with messages zipping back and forth all day long. When the gut is chronically inflamed, inflammatory signals travel through the body to the brain and trigger neuroinflammation. The hippocampus, which governs memory, learning and mood, is especially vulnerabl

HEALTH NEWS Study Reports Natural Compound Shows Anticancer Activity in Preclinical Models Ultra-processed food intake linked to silent strokes in healthy middle-aged adults, study finds Study Finds Lower Magnesium Levels in Adults With Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes This New Research About Microplastics Is Pretty Damn Scary Mindfulness exercises can support psychotherapy for adolescents Study Reports Natural Compound Shows Anticancer Activity in Preclinical Models University of Windsor (Canada), October 15 2026 (Natural News) A study published in Oncotarget reports that an aqueous dandelion root extract inhibited colorectal cancer cell proliferation and survival in laboratory and animal models, according to the paper. The research describes a preclinical investigation of a compound derived from a common flowering plant long used in traditional medicine. The study states the extract was derived from the root of the dandelion plant. The paper reports the extract was tested in several cancer cell models with no toxicity to non-cancerous cells. The study found that the aqueous dandelion root extract triggered programmed cell death in more than 95% of colorectal cancer cells tested in the laboratory. The paper reports the extract activated multiple death-signaling pathways. The researchers reported no toxicity to non-malignant cells at the doses tested. Ultra-processed food intake linked to silent strokes in healthy middle-aged adults, study finds McMaster University (Canada), October 15 2026 (Eurekalert) Healthy adults who eat high amounts of ultra-processed food, like packaged snack foods, sugary breakfast cereals, soft drinks, instant noodles, and ready-to-eat frozen meals, are more likely to have signs of damage to the brain that may increase the chances of clinical stroke and future memory problems. Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan the brains of nearly 9,000 people between the ages of 35 and 69 with no history of heart disease from communities across Canada and detected tiny areas of damage more frequently in participants who ate the most ultra-processed food compared to those who ate the least. Participants with the highest intake were 40 per cent more likely to show these changes, which produce no obvious symptoms but are considered early warning signs that can appear years before a stroke or memory problems begins. In this study, ultra-processed foods made up an average of about 25 per cent of participants' daily food servings. For the heaviest consumers, that increased to 45 percent of everything on their plates, compared with just 16 per cent for those who ate the least. Study Finds Lower Magnesium Levels in Adults With Poorly Controlled Type 2 Diabetes Kunming Medical University (China), October 17 2026 (Natural News) A study of 68 adults with type 2 diabetes found that median blood magnesium levels were lower in participants with higher HbA1c, a marker of average blood sugar over the past two to three months. The median magnesium level was about 2.1 mg/dL in the higher HbA1c group compared with 2.3 mg/dL in the better-managed group, the study stated. The findings add to a body of research examining the relationship between magnesium status and glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Researchers split the 68 participants into two groups based on HbA1c and compared blood magnesium levels alongside other markers of metabolic health. Magnesium levels were lower in participants with higher blood sugar, and low magnesium levels were found only in the higher HbA1c group. Lower magnesium levels also were associated with higher triglycerides, suggesting a potential relationship between magnesium status and other markers of metabolic health, according to the study. Within the higher HbA1c group, magnesium was not significantly linked to HbA1c, although researchers observed a trend toward lower magnesium alongside higher HbA1c. Medical literature has documented that magnesium status is frequently altered in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and the mineral serves as a critical cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, many of them involved in glucose metabolism. A separate report listed magnesium among the essential minerals involved in muscle and nerve function, blood sugar regulation, and bone development, and cited National Institutes of Health recommended daily amounts of 400 to 420 milligrams for adult men and 310 to 320 milligrams for adult women. This New Research About Microplastics Is Pretty Damn Scary Columbia University, October 19 2026 (Futurism) A new piece of research is pushing back on the long-held belief that plastic is a harmless and chemically inert material.

Some doctors recommend only 50 mg. Wise to pair oxalate foods with calcium rich foods to reduce absorption. Keeping hydrated is crucial. Should take about 1000-1200 mg of calcium a day with meals when eating oxalate rich foods. Unfortunately most high oxalate foods do not contain enough bioavailable calcium relative to the oxalate load. For example, spinach is rich in calcium but almost 90-95% of it is already bound and not available. Too much Vitamin C can make your body produce oxalate. Don’t take more than 500 mg a day. Here are high-oxalate foods ranked from highest content to lowest Spinach (½ cup cooked) – ~750–755 mg Rhubarb (½ cup) – ~540–541 mg Almonds (1 oz / ~22 nuts) – ~120–122 mg Miso soup (1 cup) – ~110–111 mg Baked potatoes with skin (1 medium) – ~90–97 mg Grits (1 cup) – ~97 mg Beets (½ cup) – ~76 mg Cocoa powder (4 tsp) – ~67 mg Okra (½ cup) – ~57 mg Bran cereals / shredded wheat cereals (1 cup) – ~40–57 mg (bran higher) French fries (½ cup / ~4 oz) – ~50–51 mg Cashews (1 oz) – ~49 mg Raspberries (1 cup) – ~48 mg Sweet potatoes (1 cup) – ~28 mg (some sources higher for a medium baked potato) Cranberries – low (typically <10 mg per serving) Stevia sweeteners – negligible / essentially 0 mg
