A new study highlights how diet can influence the effects of UV exposure on the skin. Researchers found that mice exposed to UV light developed skin cancer only when their diet included seed oils, while mice fed saturated fats did not develop cancer, despite the same UV exposure.

Seed oils, common in processed foods, are high in omega-6 polyunsaturated fats, which can oxidize and promote inflammation in the body. When combined with UV stress, these oils may accelerate cell damage and cancer development. In contrast, saturated fats like butter, coconut oil, and animal fats appear more stable, protecting cells from oxidative damage and reducing cancer risk in the experiment.

The study suggests that what we eat can influence how our bodies respond to environmental stressors like sunlight. While moderation and sun safety remain essential, choosing healthier fats may provide an additional layer of protection for the skin.

This research emphasizes the complex relationship between diet, environment, and disease , showing that everyday choices can have a profound impact on long-term health.

France discovered antibiotics in 1,000-year-old Viking texts — that kill superbugs today 📜
French historians and microbiologists at the University of Lyon found medicinal recipes in medieval Viking manuscripts that describe using specific mold and plant combinations to treat infected wounds. Curious about the biological basis, they recreated these ancient remedies and discovered they produce compounds that kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria including MRSA and drug-resistant tuberculosis.
The Viking concoction uses a precise combination of barley bread mold (containing penicillium relatives), garlic, and onion extracts fermented in brass vessels. Chemical analysis revealed novel antimicrobial peptides that modern antibiotics don't produce. Clinical trials begin in September 2025.
Why does this matter?

Antibiotic resistance kills 700,000 people yearly worldwide
Modern antibiotics becoming useless against superbugs
Ancient wisdom contained solutions we've overlooked
Compounds work through mechanisms bacteria can't easily resist
Could provide new antibiotic classes after 40-year drought
Viking method produces drugs at fraction of pharmaceutical costs
Challenges assumption that modern medicine is always superior

This discovery proves that historical medical texts deserve serious scientific investigation. Other ancient remedies are now being systematically tested.

🚨 BOMBSHELL RULING: Court Forces USDA to End GMO Labeling Loopholes

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled that the USDA must update its bioengineered food disclosure standards, closing key exemptions that allowed many genetically modified ingredients to go unlabeled.

In a unanimous decision issued November 7, 2025, a three-judge panel found that the USDA’s 2018 regulations—particularly the exemption for highly refined products where modified DNA is undetectable—violate the 2016 National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.

Judge Daniel Collins, writing for the court, stated that Congress intended broader disclosure, regardless of detectability.

The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by the Center for Food Safety and Citizens for GMO Labeling, challenging provisions that excluded ultra-processed items like corn oil, high-fructose corn syrup, and soy-based ingredients.

The court also invalidated the USDA’s allowance of QR codes and digital links as the sole disclosure method, mandating clearer, on-package text.

“This decision reaffirms the public’s right to know what’s in their food,” said George Kimbrell, Legal Director at the Center for Food Safety. “The vast majority of genetically engineered crops are designed to withstand heavy pesticide use—consumers deserve transparency at the point of purchase.”

The case now returns to the district court with instructions to remand the rules to the USDA for revision consistent with the statute.

This ruling marks a significant step toward uniform, accessible GMO labeling nationwide.
