(Press-News.org) A new study emphasizes the vital role of fruits, vegetables, and their co-products in boosting human health and life expectancy. Packed with minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber, these foods help prevent chronic diseases. Antioxidants in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamins and carotenoids, combat harmful free radicals.

Combining various fruits like oranges, apples, grapes, and blueberries enhances antioxidant effects. Diets rich in these foods can lower blood pressure, reduce heart disease and stroke risk, prevent some cancers, and improve eye and digestive health. Non-starchy options like apples and leafy greens aid in weight management by controlling blood sugar and appetite.
Eating a variety of produce ensures a wide range of health benefits. Recent breeding programs have introduced new fruit and vegetable varieties with superior nutritional profiles. Advanced techniques are also being developed to better identify these properties.
The upcoming Thematic Issue invites high-quality papers on the chemical and nutritional profiles of fruits, vegetables, and co-products from global researchers, including original articles, reviews, and mini-reviews.

Better cancer trial representation begins with speaking one’s language
2024-08-06
NEW YORK, NY (July 29, 2024) ---- Underrepresentation of racial and ethnic minority populations in cancer clinical trials persists partly because translation and interpretation services and resources are unavailable or inadequate in the United States, according to a Children’s Oncology Group (COG) study led by Columbia University School of Nursing. The updated study was published online in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute Cancer Spectrum on July 25, 2024 and will appear in the August 2024 journal issue.
In 2019, 68 million people in the United States were reported to speak a language other than ...
Social and structural factors are key drivers of disparities in obesity rates
2024-08-06
Obesity is an epidemic in the United States. It has been increasing among adults of all races and ethnicities over the last two decades; however, obesity is higher among Non-Hispanic Black adults, Hispanic adults, and American Indian or Alaska Native adults, than their White and Asian counterparts, according to the National Institutes of Health. Adults with lower income also have higher risk of obesity than those with a high income.

New study helps global MNCs weigh the pros and cons of implementing blockchain technology
2024-08-06
Blockchain technology has become one of the most hyped advancements in recent years, but there hasn’t been a clear understanding of the potential trade-offs for its use by multinational corporations (MNCs). A new study published in the Global Strategy Journal provides a better understanding of blockchain merits and drawbacks by focusing on three particular applications of the technology in this sector: financial transactions, collaboration, and data analytics.
The study, “A perspective on three trade-offs of blockchain technology for the global strategy of the MNC,” was authored by Tuuli Hakkarainen of the University of Liverpool, Anatoli Colicev of the University ...
Increased ventilation not effective in reducing influenza virus spread in play-based model, Emory study finds
2024-08-06
Increasing ventilation in child-care settings may not always be effective at preventing flu virus spread, according to a new study published by a team of researchers at Emory University, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Virginia Tech.
The spread of flu viruses is commonly studied in animal models that don’t mimic the real-life scenarios of the human experience, making it difficult to evaluate strategies that will be effective in common places where disease spreads rapidly, such as childcare settings. As reported online and in a coming print issue of the journal Proceedings of the National ...
Lonely people tend to have more nightmares, Oregon State University research shows
2024-08-06
CORVALLIS, Ore. – People who are lonely are more apt to have bad dreams, according to a collaboration that included an Oregon State University scientist.
The findings are important because both loneliness and sleep disorders are serious public health issues, said OSU’s Colin Hesse. They are connected to increased risk of heart disease, stroke and premature death.
In a paper published in the Journal of Psychology, Hesse and researchers at the University of Arizona, the University of Tampa and Whitworth University note that stress ...
UC Irvine-led team reveals how TREM2 genetic mutation affects late-onset Alzheimer’s
2024-08-06
Irvine, Calif., Aug. 6, 2024 — Researchers led by the University of California, Irvine have discovered how the TREM2 R47H genetic mutation causes certain brain areas to develop abnormal protein clumps, called beta-amyloid plaques, associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Leveraging single-cell Merfish spatial transcriptomics technology, the team was able to profile the effects of the mutation across multiple cortical and subcortical brain regions, offering first-of-their-kind insights at the single-cell level.
The study, recently published online in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, compared the brains of normal mice and special mouse models that undergo ...
Considering the patient’s perspective in inducible laryngeal obstruction care
2024-08-06
Inducible laryngeal obstruction is a breathing disorder characterized by unwanted vocal fold closure having the potential to restrict breathing at times.
It’s estimated that between 3-12% of patients with dyspnea complaints have inducible laryngeal obstruction.
Patients with inducible laryngeal obstruction are thought to make up to 22% of patients with frequent emergency room visits due to sudden onset dyspnea.
While experts know how to treat the condition, there’s not much formal research about what patients with the disorder experience ...
Living with a killer: How an unlikely mantis shrimp-clam association violates a biological principle
2024-08-06
Media
When clams gamble on living with a killer, sometimes their luck may run out, according to a University of Michigan study.
A longstanding question in ecology asks how can so many different species co-occur, or live together, at the same time and at the same place. One influential theory called the competitive exclusion principle suggests that only one species can occupy a particular niche in a biological community at any one time.
But out in the wild, researchers find many instances of different species that appear to occupy the same ...
Researchers urge united nations to reject growth-driven framework in favor of lower population and consumption
2024-08-06
In a new peer-reviewed article in The Journal of Population and Sustainability, demographic experts are urging the United Nations to reject the current “‘growth’ paradigm which treats Earth and its nonhuman inhabitants as mere resources” and to take the lead in “contracting the large-scale variables of the human enterprise” in order to “forge a path out of multiple environmental and social crises,” and “reverse our advanced state of ecological overshoot.”
Earth Overshoot Day, the date when humanity’s demand on nature’s resources surpasses Earth’s capacity ...
Future enterovirus outbreaks could be exacerbated by climate change
2024-08-06
Outbreaks of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD), which causes fever and rash in young children, typically occur in the summer months. Similarly, historic cases of polio were observed in the summer months in the United States. Both diseases are caused by different species of enteroviruses, a large genus of RNA viruses. However, the drivers of the seasonal patterns of these diseases have remained somewhat unclear.
A common set of drivers can explain the timing of outbreaks of both HFMD and polio according a recent study by researchers at Brown University, Princeton University ...
