New research has exposed that many snack bars sold in the UK are misleadingly branded as healthy, despite large quantities of sugar and saturated fat. Conducted by Action on Salt & Sugar at Queen Mary University, London, UK, the research reveals that 37% of “healthy” snack bars sold in the UK are high in sugars under the UK’s traffic-light labeling system. Action on Salt & Sugar calls on the government to “act urgently” to protect children’s health, with a clear set of policy measures. These include making front-of-pack labeling mandatory; restricting health and nutrition claims to products genuinely low in salt, sugar,…
Credit: Lars Neumann/Getty Images New research from investigators at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) has found that a protein released by muscle during exercise can preserve memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. The research, published in Aging Cell, details the role of Cathepsin B (Ctsb) in AD, which previously has been researched for its role in cancer, brain injury, and its associated role in cognition. “Our study is the first to show that expressing Cathepsin B specifically in muscle can prevent memory loss and maintain brain function in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease,” said senior author Henriette van…
Over 1.4 billion adults globally live with hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure, yet nearly half are unaware they have it, leaving many undiagnosed and untreated. This silent condition carries serious risks—unchecked HTN can lead to stroke and heart disease, both leading causes of early mortality. While medications and lifestyle changes can help manage HTN, many people still fail to achieve target blood pressure, especially those with pregnancy, diabetes, or kidney disease. Despite new therapies and interventions, HTN-related complications and deaths continue to rise, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where aging populations are driving the increase. Emerging research highlights…
