Health Alert: Peanut Allergies May Be Declining in Infants.
According to a recent study, the prevalence of peanut allergy among infants has declined from 0.8% to 0.5%. Experts attribute this reduction to updated allergy guidelines that encourage early peanut introduction—particularly in infants at higher risk due to conditions such as atopic dermatitis—which may help the immune system develop oral tolerance and reduce the likelihood of developing a peanut allergy.

Diet: Antioxidant Intake May Protect Against Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection-driven inflammatory condition of the female upper reproductive tract—most commonly involving the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries—that typically results from ascending sexually transmitted or vaginal infections and can lead to chronic pelvic pain, infertility, or ectopic pregnancy if untreated. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, researchers found that higher overall dietary antioxidant intake, particularly zinc, was associated with a lower prevalence of PID.

Health Alert: Microplastic Exposure May Contribute to Alzheimer’s.
According to a recent animal study, exposure to polystyrene microplastics and nanoplastics at levels higher than those observed in humans produced Alzheimer-like symptoms in mice carrying the APOE4 gene—a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease—after just three weeks. Notably, the researchers observed sex-specific differences similar to those seen in human patients: male mice were less cautious and more impulsive when exploring new environments, while females had greater difficulty remembering objects they had seen before. The findings suggest that environmental toxins may heighten vulnerability in individuals with genetic risk factors for neurodegenerative diseases.
