A new study focusing on slight variations in a class of metabolism-related molecules might shed light on this discrepancy.The molecule in question is PGC-1⍺, a protein involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats. Although...

This study has identified a promising avenue: a...
Comprehensive study across four cohorts all showed how plant oils drastically lower disease risk when butter is off the table. Credit: PixabayAlthough it has been widely agreed that olive oil and other plant-based fats are healthier than butter, scientists have now definitively confirmed it by combining multiple diet-intervention studies and previous cohort research, all...
The bones of nursing moms stay strong despite lactation draining them of calcium. A new study in mice hints at why. Crediytt: PixabayGiving birth and caring for a newborn can be tough on a mother's bones. Estrogen, which regulates bone growth, drops sharply after birth, and lactation depletes calcium from the skeleton. However, nursing...
Elenolic acid in olives boosts GLP-1 and PYY hormones. Credit: PixabayA natural compound found in olives has been discovered to reduce blood sugar levels and accelerate weight loss quickly, similar to the effects of drugs like liraglutide and metformin used for diabetes.This discovery could pave the way for developing safe, natural, and affordable...
