Large human studies show the gut microbiome may be responsible for some of the variability in how different people metabolise food.

Long before COVID-19, women made less money than men, had more child care responsibilities and were at increased risk of gender-based violence. But now, the pandemic has made them, and their children, even more vulnerable.
People who started eating earlier in the day we found to have lower blood sugar levels and less insulin resistance, regardless of whether they restricted their food intake.
Insufficient, irregular and interrupted sleep are associated with insulin resistance, prediabetes and diabetes and have a significant impact on glucose tolerance.
If the science sounds too good to be true or too wacky to be real, or very conveniently supports a contentious cause, then you might want to check its veracity.
Study findings contradict conventional wisdom that losing weight is simply a matter of reducing calories. Dieters may not need to avoid food after all—just processed food products made with refined starches and added sugar.
Corporations are armed with factories and laboratories, with brands and trademarks and marketing departments. And they have created a new sort of food: the ultra-processed variety.
A study found that a diet centered on fruits and vegetables was associated with lower post-meal blood glucose levels and may be a factor in reducing higher levels of glucose seen with prolonged periods of inactivity.
A recent study revealed that a 12-week program of exercise alone—on stationary bikes and with resistance training equipment—produced benefits to vascular health, whereas testosterone therapy alone did not.
The most common reasons people in Europe, the U.S. and Canada give for eating plant-based food are the health benefits, curiosity to try new food, environmental concerns and animal welfare.
