Ultra-Processed Foods May Stimulate Overeating in Young Adults.

In a recent trial, researchers found that that healthy young adults, aged 18-21, consume more calories and are more likely to eat when not hungry after two weeks on a diet high in ultra-processed foods—foods that include added sugars, fats, and salt to enhance flavor and prolong shelf life—than after two weeks on a diet containing few, if any, ultra processed goods.

Many Lung Cancer Deaths Could Be Prevented with Improved Screening.

Despite evidence that low-dose chest CT scans can detect lung cancer early in at-risk adults—such as those with a history of smoking or occupational exposure to certain pollutants—and reduce lung cancer mortality nearly threefold, new research suggests that only 19% of eligible adults undergo screening.

Factors Linked to Central Sensitization.

Central sensitization is a state in which the nervous system becomes overly reactive, amplifying pain signals and lowering the threshold at which pain is perceived—an effect that can hinder recovery from chronic low back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders. A recent study found that central sensitization was not directly associated with psychological distress or pain intensity, but it showed mild associations with higher body mass index and low vitamin D status. These findings suggest that poor metabolic health may contribute to central sensitization and should be considered when patients fail to respond to conservative treatment approaches, such as chiropractic care.

Dementia Increasing Worldwide.

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease study, researchers report that the global age-standardized rate of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias increased from 1990 to 2021. Because burden growth was highest in richer nations, the authors suggest that declines in metabolic health may be a contributing factor to the increased incidence of dementia, highlighting the importance of maintaining good metabolic health through regular exercise, a high-quality diet, healthy body weight, adequate sleep, and effective management of stress and inflammation.

Ultra-Processed Foods Linked to Prediabetes in Young Adults.

Ultra-processed foods are food products that contain added sugars, fats, and salt to enhance flavor and prolong shelf life. Researchers at the University of Southern California report that for every 10% increase in ultra-processed food intake, a young adult’s risk of prediabetes rises by 65%. This finding is especially concerning given that ultra-processed foods now account for more than half of the typical adult’s daily calorie intake.
