Study Links Chronic Xanthan Gum Consumption to Colon Inflammation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Long-term xanthan gum consumption triggered measurable inflammation in the colon of otherwise healthy rats, even though their weight, blood sugar and cholesterol remained normal, suggesting digestive changes can develop before routine health markers reveal a problem Researchers found that xanthan gum altered proteins that help maintain the gut's protective barrier, making the intestinal lining more permeable and allowing inflammation to become established The study also found subtle shifts in sp

Brighter Daytime Light Is Linked to a Lower Dementia Risk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Research suggests that spending more time in bright daytime light was linked to a lower risk of developing dementia, with measurable brightness targets that are often reached outdoors. However, the researchers caution these thresholds may not transfer directly to other populations In the study's machine-learning analysis, bright daytime light ranked as a stronger predictor of future dementia risk than several familiar factors, including alcohol consumption, obesity, hearing loss, and traumatic b
