Could Vitamin C Help Protect Your Brain as You Age? New Imaging Study Finds a Link
As the brain ages, it naturally loses gray matter — the tissue responsible for processing information, controlling movement, and regulating emotion — while also undergoing changes to the neurons and neurotransmitters that govern how different brain regions communicate. A new study published in PLOS One adds vitamin C to the growing list of nutrients that may play a role in slowing these changes, finding that people with lower blood plasma vitamin C levels tended to have lower gray matter volume and reduced connectivity in a key brain network involved in memory and self-reflection.

A GLP-1 Drug in Pill Form Could Transform Type 2 Diabetes Treatment for Millions Who Fear Injections
Around 12% of American adults are currently taking a GLP-1 medication for weight loss or type 2 diabetes management — but for the roughly 30% of adults who have a fear of injections, the requirement to self-administer these drugs by needle has long been a barrier to access. New trial data published in The Lancet and presented at the American Diabetes Association’s Scientific Session 2026 now suggests that a once-daily oral GLP-1 pill called elecoglipron can produce clinically meaningful reductions in both blood sugar and body weight in people with type 2 diabetes, potentially opening up this class of medication to a considerably wider patient population.

Seven Drinks a Week May Be Where Alcohol Risk Becomes Significant — and Even One a Day Can Raise Cancer Risk
For decades, alcohol research focused primarily on the harms of heavy drinking, while moderate consumption was widely regarded as relatively safe — and in some analyses, even modestly beneficial for the heart. A major new analysis published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs challenges that framing, finding that alcohol-related health risks increase steadily at all levels of consumption, that any potential cardiovascular benefits are outweighed by harms elsewhere, and that seven drinks per week appears to be the point at which mortality risk becomes meaningfully elevated.

Eating Five Portions of Fruit and Veg a Day May Not Be Enough to Protect Your Heart — Unless You Choose the Right Ones
The advice to eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day is widely recognised as a cornerstone of healthy eating. But a new study published in the journal Food & Function suggests that following this recommendation alone may not be sufficient to protect cardiovascular health — because fewer than one in five people consume enough of a specific class of plant compounds, known as flavanols, to meaningfully reduce their risk of heart disease, even when they are regularly hitting their daily five portions.

Could Vitamin B12 and Folate Deficiency Be Contributing to Chronic Fatigue?
Chronic fatigue is thought to affect more than three million people in the United States alone, significantly disrupting work, social life, and day-to-day functioning. Its causes remain poorly understood, and effective treatments are limited. A new study published in the journal Nutrients now raises the possibility that deficiencies in two B vitamins — vitamin B12 and folate, also known as vitamin B9 — may be a contributing factor, finding that people with biochemical signs of these deficiencies were more likely to experience physical fatigue and reduced motivation than those with adequate levels.

Switching to a Healthier Diet May Repair Some Cognitive Damage — but Sugar’s Effects Could Be Permanent, Animal Studies Suggest
Evidence that what we eat shapes long-term brain health has been building steadily for years. A new review published in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience now adds an important and sobering dimension to that picture: while switching from an unhealthy to a healthier diet can partially restore cognitive function, the damage caused specifically by high-sugar diets may prove significantly harder — and in some cases impossible — to reverse, even after dietary habits improve.

What Do Chronic Stress, Heart Disease, and Poor Sleep All Have in Common? They May Disrupt the Brain’s Nightly Cleaning System
A new review published in the journal Science proposes that many of the most well-established risk factors for dementia — including chronic stress, depression, cardiovascular disease, disrupted sleep, and ageing itself — may converge on a single shared mechanism: the disruption of a rhythmic, sleep-dependent process through which the brain clears toxic waste products that accumulate during waking hours. The review, authored by neuroscientist Maiken Nedergaard of the University of Rochester Medical Center, argues that understanding this process — and how it breaks down — may be fundamental to understanding why dementia develops.

Could Daily Peppermint Oil Help Lower Blood Pressure? A New Trial Suggests It Might
High blood pressure affects approximately 1.4 billion adults worldwide and is one of the leading drivers of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, and dementia. Management currently relies on a combination of medications and lifestyle modifications. A small randomised controlled trial published in PLOS One now raises the possibility of an additional complementary approach: daily supplementation with peppermint oil, which was associated with a meaningful reduction in both systolic blood pressure and resting heart rate over just 20 days.

GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs May Also Meaningfully Lower Blood Pressure
Evidence that modern obesity medications deliver benefits well beyond weight loss continues to accumulate. A large meta-analysis presented at the European Congress on Obesity 2026 by researchers from Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands has found that newer anti-obesity drugs — including GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and tirzepatide — are associated with clinically meaningful reductions in systolic blood pressure, with the magnitude of blood pressure lowering closely tied to the amount of weight lost.

Why Dementia Risk Factors Hit Women Harder — and What Can Be Done About It
Women account for nearly two-thirds of all Alzheimer’s disease cases in the United States, and for decades this disparity has been attributed primarily to the fact that women live longer. A new study published in Biology of S*x Differences challenges that explanation, suggesting that the gap reflects something more specific and more actionable: several modifiable dementia risk factors are not only more prevalent in women but also have a significantly stronger negative effect on cognitive function in women than in men. The findings, from researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, point towards a need for dementia prevention strategies tailored by s*x rather than applied uniformly across the population.
