What Are Ultra-Processed Foods and How Do They Affect Your Cancer Risk?
Ultra-processed foods are more than just convenient—they often come with hidden health risks. A 2022 study found that high consumption of these foods was linked to a 7% to 28% increased risk of colorectal cancer precursors, even after accounting for other dietary and lifestyle factors. Understanding the difference between minimally...

The Mediterranean Diet and Its Role in Gut Health
Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), including conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia, affect millions worldwide. Characterized by chronic symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits, FGIDs lack identifiable structural abnormalities, making them challenging to treat. Increasingly, research highlights the role of diet, particularly the Mediterranean...
