In 2025, Andrew Blannin and a team from the University of Birmingham in the UK studied 55 endurance-trained amateur men. They gave groups 3 g/day of EPA-rich fish oil (2.3 g EPA, 0.3 g DHA), DHA-rich algae oil (0.3 g EPA, 2.3 g DHA), or a placebo for 6 weeks. They tested heart rate, perceived effort, breathing ratio, and a 24 km bike time trial before and after.

In 2025, Jianyong Wu and Yanni Cao from Ohio State University analyzed data from over 66,000 US census tracts, comparing life expectancy based on proximity to water. They looked at coastal areas (oceans/gulfs within 30 miles) vs. inland rivers/lakes, factoring in urban/rural settings, to see if "blue spaces" affect how long people live.

In 2025, researchers from the University of South Australia, including Hanbiao Chen and Rietie Venter, tested common painkillers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen with the antibiotic ciprofloxacin on E. coli bacteria, a common cause of gut and urinary infections. They exposed bacteria to the drugs alone and together, measuring mutations that lead to resistance.

In 2015, J. R. Dalenberg and a team from Denmark conducted two field experiments with 30 students in dorm rooms. They tested ventilation by opening windows (low CO2: 660 ppm) or using a fan (low CO2: 835 ppm) vs. no ventilation (high CO2: 2,585 ppm or 2,395 ppm) for 1 week each. Sleep was tracked with wrist actigraphs, and next-day alertness via questionnaires and cognitive tests.

In 2025, Diddier Prada and a team from Mount Sinai analyzed 46 studies with over 100,000 participants worldwide, using a strict method to review links between prenatal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental issues like autism and ADHD. Acetaminophen is used by over 50% of pregnant women globally for pain or fever.

In 2025, Yanni Papanikolaou and a team from McMaster University analyzed data from 15,947 adults in the NHANES III survey. They studied how much animal and plant protein people ate, using food diaries and advanced stats to track links with death from heart disease, cancer, or any cause over years.

In 2024, researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University analyzed data from over 20,000 U.S. adults (average age 49) in the NHANES survey from 2003-2018, followed until 2019. They compared those eating in an 8-hour window (a common IF method) to those eating over 12-16 hours, adjusting for age, diet, and health factors.

In 2025, Melody Ding and a team from The University of Sydney reviewed 35 studies with over 16,000 adults from 2014-2025. They analyzed how daily step counts affect eight health outcomes, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia, cancer, depression, falls, physical function, and overall death risk, using data from PubMed and EBSCO CINAHL.

In 2020, Ciara Duffy and a team from the Harry Perkins Institute in Australia studied how honeybee venom and its main part, melittin, affect breast cancer cells. They tested it on lab samples of triple-negative and HER2-enriched breast cancers, two hard-to-treat types, using venom from European honeybees and compared it to bumblebee venom.

In 2025, M. Khanani and a team reviewed studies on how excessive screen time affects kids and teens. They found that spending too long on devices like phones, tablets, or TVs—especially since the COVID-19 pandemic—hurts physical, mental, and developmental health.

In 2018, Fabrício E. Rossi and a team studied 30 adults randomly assigned to three groups: back squat only, leg press only, or both, for 10 weeks of twice-weekly lower body workouts. Each group did 6 sets of 8-12 reps with 90-120 seconds rest, keeping other training the same. They measured max squat strength, body composition, jump height, and balance.

In 2025, Rory Wolfe and a team analyzed the ASPREE trial with 19,114 older adults (aged 65+ for US minorities, 70+ otherwise) without prior heart issues, dementia, or disabilities. From 2010–2017, half took daily low-dose aspirin, half got a placebo, with follow-up until 2022 for 15,668 participants. They checked for heart attacks, strokes, and bleeding events.

In 2025, J. Tan and a team reviewed 12 observational studies from databases like PubMed and Embase up to September 2024. They analyzed how skipping breakfast affects depression risk, using data from various groups and checking study quality with a standard tool.

In 2016, Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump Media reviewed what sore muscles mean for fitness, drawing on exercise science. He explained that soreness, often linked to inflammation or lactic acid buildup, happens when you try new workouts or push too hard, not necessarily from effective training. For example, even advanced lifters get sore from unfamiliar activities like swimming, but this doesn’t mean better muscle gains.

In 2025, S. Fattahi and a team studied men with prostate cancer in a randomized cohort, followed over time. They analyzed testosterone levels at diagnosis, adjusting for age, cancer stage, and treatments like hormone therapy, to check links with cancer severity and death rates.

In 2025, A. Al Tamim and a team from King Saud University studied Wistar rats on a high-fat diet to mimic obesity. They gave groups standard chow or high-fat diet, with or without daily Sidr or Talh honey at 500-1,000 mg/kg for 12 weeks, checking weight, blood sugar, hormones, and brain inflammation in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus.

In 2025, Sandhya P Chakravartti and colleagues examined 75 young adults in a crossover trial. Sucralose (vs. sugar or water) spiked hypothalamic blood flow by 10-20%, boosted hunger by 15%, and strengthened brain connections for craving and sensing, potentially leading to overeating. Other studies (2022, 2023) showed sucralose alters gut bacteria, increasing glucose intolerance (10-15% worse in mice) and metabolic issues like inflammation.

In 2015, Jose Antonio and a team from Nova Southeastern University studied 48 healthy, trained adults (men and women). They split them into two groups: one ate a normal protein diet (1.04 g/lb/day), the other a high protein diet (1.54 g/lb/day) from foods like beef protein, while both did the same heavy weight training program for 8 weeks.

In 2023, Hao Li and a team from China reviewed 22 randomized trials with 1,537 people battling substance use disorder. They explored how light, moderate, and high-intensity workouts like walking, jogging, or weight lifting reduce withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, depression, anxiety, and insomnia during detox.

In 2025, Aleksandra Skoczek-Rubińska and a team from Poznan University of Physical Education reviewed 13 studies from 2009-2025 on how vitamin D helps BDNF (a brain protein for nerve growth), mood, and thinking in adults. They looked at human and animal studies from big databases to see how vitamin D levels or supplements affect people’s brains and feelings.
