Nanny state or necessary shield? U.K. government moves to ban energy drinks for children
The U.K. government is proposing a nationwide ban on the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks (over 150mg/liter) to under-16s in England, citing serious health and behavioral concerns. The policy is a direct response to high consumption rates among children and aims to combat issues like obesity, sleep disorders and significant classroom disruption reported by teachers. […]

Artificial sweetener aspartame linked to increased stroke risk, study finds
A 2025 study in Scientific Reports found that aspartame — used in Diet Coke, sugar-free gum and medications — increases stroke risk by damaging blood vessel function, triggering inflammation and weakening the blood-brain barrier. Aspartame disrupts genes regulating blood pressure and inflammation, worsening stroke severity. Even low-dose, long-term consumption (e.g., daily diet soda) may gradually harm […]

Study: Popular sugar substitute ERYTHRITOL may harm the brain’s blood vessels
A new study suggests erythritol, a zero-calorie sweetener, may damage brain blood vessel cells, increasing stroke risk by disrupting blood flow regulation and reducing clot-dissolving proteins. Exposure to erythritol in human brain cells caused oxidative stress, reduced nitric oxide (which widens vessels) and increased endothelin-1 (which constricts them), potentially impairing the blood-brain barrier. Once marketed […]

Study: Fermented stevia extract can selectively kill pancreatic cancer cells
Researchers at Hiroshima University discovered that fermented stevia extract selectively kills pancreatic cancer cells while sparing healthy ones, offering hope for a disease with a survival rate below 10 percent. Fermenting stevia with Lactobacillus plantarum SN13T produces bioactive compounds like chlorogenic acid methyl ester (CAME), which triggers cancer cell death without harming normal cells. Pancreatic […]

Sugar-laden baby foods fuel childhood obesity crisis
Researchers at the University of Leeds found that nearly one-third of baby and toddler foods are ultra-processed, with some deriving up to 89 percent of calories from sugar – exceeding even the sugar in a digestive biscuit. Major brands like Ella’s Kitchen and Heinz mislead parents with claims like “no added sugar” or “organic,” while products […]

Artificial sweeteners may accelerate puberty in children, study warns
A Taiwanese study found that artificial sweeteners (e.g., aspartame, sucralose, glycyrrhizin) may disrupt normal development, accelerating puberty in children. Central precocious puberty (CPP) was observed in 481 of 1,407 adolescents studied. Early puberty increases risks of emotional distress (e.g., anxiety, depression), metabolic disorders (obesity, diabetes), reproductive issues and shorter adult height due to hormonal imbalances. […]

Sweet victory: Fermented stevia emerges as potential cancer killer
Fermented stevia leaf extract (FSLE), derived from the sweetener stevia and banana leaf bacteria, selectively kills pancreatic cancer cells while sparing healthy cells, offering a potential natural alternative to toxic conventional treatments. Pancreatic cancer has a survival rate below 10 percent and resists standard therapies, driving researchers to explore plant-based solutions like stevia for safer, […]

Sugary drinks linked to dramatic rise in liver cancer risk among women, study warns
Women who drank one or more sugary beverages daily faced an 85 percent higher risk of liver cancer and a 68 percent greater chance of dying from chronic liver disease compared to infrequent consumers. Researchers tracked nearly 100,000 postmenopausal women over 20 years, revealing a strong link between sugary drinks and liver damage — artificially […]

Nature’s chemo? Scientists discover fermented stevia extract kills cancer cells without harming healthy ones
Researchers at Hiroshima University found that fermenting stevia leaves with Lactobacillus plantarum (a bacteria in yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut) produces a compound (CAME) that selectively kills pancreatic cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Pancreatic cancer has a low survival rate due to late diagnosis and treatment resistance. CAME triggers apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer […]

Popular zero-calorie sweetener may increase stroke risk, study warns
New research suggests erythritol, a popular zero-calorie sweetener, may disrupt brain blood vessel function, increasing stroke risk by promoting clotting and vessel constriction. The study found erythritol spikes harmful free radicals by 75 percent, reduces nitric oxide (essential for vessel relaxation) and raises clot-promoting proteins by 30 percent. These effects mirror conditions tied to ischemic […]
