  • The Natural Products Association (NPA) has won a huge legal victory against the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after it filed a lawsuit requesting the FDA stop its attack on Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN). The court has granted the NPA an 8-month stay, meaning that the FDA won’t be allowed to pursue supplement companies offering NMN for sale during this period. Additionally, the FDA will be required to respond to the Citizen's Petition jointly filed by the NPA and ANH-USA in 2023.

  • The more sugar a baby is exposed to, both before birth and in their first two years of life, the higher their risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and other chronic diseases as they get older. Publishing in Science, researchers analysed data pre- and post-sugar rationing in the UK, finding babies conceived during sugar rationing had a 35% lower risk of developing T2D than those conceived once rationing stopped.

  • Pathogenic bacteria (particularly Klebsiella pneumoniae) travelling from the gut to the brain via the bloodstream, following damage to the gut after antibiotic use, contributes to the development of Alzheimer’s. This is because once in the brain, the bacteria ignites neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment, both of which are symptoms of Alzheimer’s. You’re never too late, or young, to nurture good gut health and reduce your risk of developing dementia later in life.

  • One of clinical psychoneuroimmunology Founder, Dr Leo Pruimboom’s, mantras is ’we need sitting breaks’ — meaning breaks from sitting (he's Dutch, but also speaks 4 other languages!). This is because sitting for long periods is exceptionally bad for our health (sitting is the new smoking). Now, a new study published in PLOS ONE, provides compelling evidence to support Dr Pruimboom’s warnings of the harm of too much sitting time. This research finds that those who don’t take regular breaks from sitting through the day, are more prone to developing metabolic disease.

  • Two former members of the US Dietary Guidelines expert committee, writing in The Hill, demolish the US Dietary guidelines, dubbing them “untrustworthy guidelines that continue to drive obesity and poor metabolic health”. They also deride the continued use of cherry-picked, outdated biased science
  • Pesticide manufacturers are pumping money into US politics, both at federal level, and increasingly, at state level, in an effort to get payouts from lawsuits capped as they pursue the ultimate goal of getting legal ‘immunity’ from prosecution. Something that may prove far more difficult now that Trump and JD Vance, along with Robert F Kennedy Jr, are set to enter government.

  • High use of household chemicals, such as those now routinely found in cleaning products and artificial ‘fragrancers’, can increase people’s risk of cognitive decline as they age, according to a recent study published in Heliyon
  • Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely accepted to cause health issues. A new paper published in Environmental Science & technology underscores the toxicity of these chemicals, finding that they are neurotoxic at concentrations representative of those found in ground and surface water. The researchers also found that swapping PFAS compounds made no difference to the damage caused by the chemicals
  • A second new paper, published in Science of the Total Environment, exposes the damage that PFAS exposure causes to the gut microbiome, which can then drive kidney damage.

  • The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAOI) is throwing its weight behind the so-called "genetic revolution". Advocating for full scale adoption of 'new genomic techniques' (NGTs), gene editing by another name, to secure food security, tackle the 'climate crisis' and protect biodiversity
  • Following publication of this year's Global Risks Report in January, by the World Economic forum, which puts biodiversity loss in the top three threats to society, an article in Nature puts biodiversity credits front and centre as a way to ensure the maintenance of biodiversity. Once again, these schemes are supported by some of the globe's biggest stakeholders as way to greenwash their continued degradation of the natural world.

The video, ‘COVID-19 and the Immune System: An Evidence-Based Investigation’, is the first in a series called ‘COVID-19: Following The Real Science, curated by Rachel Nicoll PhD. In it she looks at how our immune systems coped with covid, plus much more. Dr Nicoll has been very careful to ensure everything in the video is backed up by robust scientific evidence, which is far more rigorous than that of the UK government’s responses, which were, she says, largely ‘evidence-free’. Read Dr Nicoll’s summary of the video in the Daily Sceptic
