"In this cohort study, higher intake of butter was associated with increased mortality, while higher plant-based oils intake was associated with lower mortality. Substituting butter with plant-based oils may confer substantial benefits for preventing premature deaths."

This review highlights how regular physical activity directly targets the major hallmarks of aging. An active lifestyle is one of the most powerful, multi‑system strategies for preserving physiological function, extending health-span, and reducing the burden of age‑related disease.

New meta-analysis of three trials shows that multi-domain lifestyle interventions (exercise, diet, cognitive training, risk-factor management) produce greater cognitive benefits in older adults who carry the ApoE4 Alzheimer’s risk allele than in non-carriers (p = 0.035; effect sizes up to 0.36).

Nutritional adequacy of the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet: cross-sectional analyses of the United Kingdom National Diet and Nutrition Survey - The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S000...

This new modelling study compares Mediterranean, pesco-, ovo-lacto-, and vegan menus for health + sustainability. All diets met nutrient needs, but vegan menus slashed GHG emissions by 46%, land use by 33%, and water use by 7%. A win for climate-smart nutrition..

Replacing cow’s milk with fortified soymilk (500 mL/day) significantly improves LDL-c, blood pressure, and inflammation markers.This systematic review of 17 RCTs strengthens the case for soymilk as a cardiometabolic ally in plant-based transitions. Backed by science, aligned with dietary guidelines.

The data presented supports the conclusion that carotenoids (particularly lutein and zeaxanthin) are most strongly linked to protecting against cognitive decline in individuals with the highest genetic risk (APOE ε4 carriers), with a more modest and less consistent effect in the general population

The key takeaway? Vegans & vegetarians had gut bacteria linked to lower inflammation and better heart and metabolic health, while omnivores (esp. those eating more red meat) had microbes associated with higher blood pressure and cholesterol.

Findings? Widespread under-performance. Most hospitals are missing a major opportunity to improve patient health, slash their carbon footprint, and meet sustainability targets by not prioritizing plant-based options. A simple, untapped fix.

"The systematic review provides evidence that fruits, vegetables, soy, nuts and seeds, cocoa, and tea, as well as following a Mediterranean diet are the most effective dietary strategies for improving endothelial function as measured by FMD." ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S000...
