Researchers in Japan have developed a new light-based technology that can rapidly gather thousands of bacteria into a tiny area, making them much easier to detect. The breakthrough could help doctors diagnose infections earlier and may also support environmental monitoring and other forms of biological testing. The research team, led by Professor Takuya Iida from […]

Researchers have created a model that follows food beyond traditional calorie calculations, incorporating the role of gut microbes in digestion. Food labels make calorie counts look straightforward. The number listed per serving is calculated from the food’s fat, carbohydrate, and protein content. In reality, the digestive process is much more complex. As food moves through [...]

Researchers found that a simple addition to a 5-a-day diet was associated with improved mental well-being in adults with low fruit and vegetable intake. New research from Newcastle University suggests that drinking a daily glass of 100% fruit juice or a smoothie as part of the country’s 5-a-day nutrition recommendation may help improve mental well-being.
