Ce biocapteur mis au point par des bioingénieurs de la Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP) est capable d’identifier une protéine salivaire dont les niveaux anormaux ont liés à la dépression, à la schizophrénie et au trouble bipolaire. De là il n’y a qu’un pas, franchi ici dans la revue ACS Polymers, pour le développement d’un test de détection, salivaire. Selon les données de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS), plus d'1 [...]

Baisse de la biodiversité, menace sur l'économie touristique et la pêche, risque d'engloutissment des villes côtières : ce sont quelques unes des conséquences de l'érosion qui menace la moitié des plages mondiales, sous les coups de boutoir conjugués du dérèglement climatique et de l'expansion des agglomérations côtières, alerte le site d'information scientifique [...]

Vous aimez le miel ? Et le chocolat ? Alors imaginez un peu les deux réunis… mais sans le sucre ajouté du chocolat classique qu’on connaît. C’est l’idée un peu folle, mais finalement géniale, qu’ont eue des chercheurs. Ils ont réussi à créer un miel avec un vrai bon goût de chocolat en utilisant une partie du cacaoyer qu’on jette d’habitude. Une vraie gourmandise qui, en plus, pourrait [...]

Un groupe de chercheurs de l’Université d’État de Campinas (UNICAMP) dans l’État de São Paulo, au Brésil, a développé un produit à base de miel d’abeilles indigènes et de coques de fèves de cacao qui peut être consommé directement ou utilisé comme ingrédient dans les aliments et les cosmétiques. Les chercheurs ont utilisé du miel d’abeilles [...]

The Lancet has reignited the global debate on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) with a new report linking their consumption to harm across most organs in the body. The series calls for sweeping policy changes, including stricter regulation of UPFs and limiting industry involvement in nutrition policymaking. Researchers argue that highly processed products (most often those high in additives, emulsifiers and flavour enhancers) are associated with increased risks of chronic disease, obesity and [...]

What are the key findings from The Lancet UPF study - summary Harm linked to ultra-processed foods goes beyond nutrient content HFSS regulations fail as UPFs are reformulated to bypass ingredient limits Strong evidence links UPF diets to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease Packaging chemicals in UPFs pose risks, including endocrine disruption which is linked to infertility Global UPF consumption is rising displacing traditional diets and reducing nutrient [...]

The international team of researchers also pushed back against criticism of their work on UPFs, saying efforts to "manufacture scientific doubt" on the subject were similar to tactics used by the tobacco industry. There has been intense debate in scientific circles about UPFs, with some health and nutrition experts raising concerns that the term is vaguely defined and that more research is needed. However, leading UPF researchers argued in The Lancet medical journal that these [...]

PARIS (AFP) – Researchers warned Wednesday that rising global consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) poses a major threat to health, calling for countries to subject some products made by huge food companies to marketing restrictions and taxes. The international team of researchers also pushed back against criticism of their work on UPFs, saying efforts to “manufacture scientific doubt” on the subject were similar to tactics used by the tobacco industry. There has [...]

Around thirty international experts gathered in the journal The Lancet Researchers are sounding the alarm: ultra-processed foods, now ubiquitous in homes and on supermarket shelves, clearly increase the risk of numerous chronic diseases. Their work, which included three French researchers, compiles over a hundred epidemiological studies and highlights a growing body of evidence that is difficult to ignore. Despite recurring warnings, this new synthesis establishes a more precise link between [...]
