In a fascinating study from Spain, researchers have found a connection between very low-calorie ketogenic diets and the reversal of biological aging, specifically through addressing obesity-related aging at the molecular level. As detailed in recent findings published in the open-access journal Nutrients, the study suggests that individuals with obesity might “turn back the clock” on their biological age by more than six years after adhering to this diet plan for 180 days.

Recent findings highlight a surprising villain in the rising numbers of oral cancer cases: sugary drinks. A study from the University of Washington reveals that women who consume one or more sugary beverages daily are at a significantly heightened risk—4.87 times more, to be exact—of developing oral cancer compared to those who indulge less than once a month. This data emerges from a robust analysis of dietary records belonging to 162,602 women over thirty years, of which 124 cases of oral cancer were documented. Notably, this risk spike persists even among individuals with minimal traditional risk factors like smoking or alcohol consumption, elevating to 5.46 times for those specific non-smokers or light drinkers who still consume sugary drinks regularly.
