Study links prenatal fluoride exposure to lower IQ scores in children
A JAMA Pediatrics study of 601 Canadian mother-child pairs found prenatal fluoride exposure associated with lower IQ scores in children ages 3-4. Boys showed a 4.49-point IQ reduction per 1-mg/L increase in maternal urinary fluoride; girls showed no significant association. A separate NIH-funded study of 2,514 U.S. children found lower fluid cognition scores when prenatal […]

California phases out paraquat, pesticide linked to Parkinson’s Disease, amid growing legal and scientific pressure
California has initiated a two-year phase-out of paraquat after manufacturers voluntarily cancelled their registrations, making it the second U.S. state to ban the herbicide. The state’s Department of Pesticide Regulation cited preliminary findings of thyroid impacts, birth defects and significant risks to birds and mammals. Scientific studies have linked paraquat exposure to a doubled risk […]

Magnesium deficiency linked to 74% higher risk of brain bleeding, study finds
Chronic low magnesium levels, confirmed by two blood tests within a year, were associated with a 74% higher risk of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. The risk was even greater—roughly double—for those with severely low magnesium levels below 1.5 mg/dL. Researchers analyzed medical records of over 266,000 matched patient pairs from the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network. While […]

Why you’re tired after 8 hours: A new study pinpoints the real culprit
New research analyzing 627 healthy adults found that REM sleep quality—specifically the active “phasic” phase—declines with age. Women show a steeper decline in phasic REM percentage and rapid eye movement density compared to men, indicating faster age-related deterioration. The study used polysomnography, the gold-standard method for tracking brain waves, eye movements and physiological signals during […]

Leafy greens emerge as single most potent food for dementia prevention in massive analysis
A major 2026 analysis of over 222,000 adults found that high fruit and vegetable intake is linked to a 20% lower risk of dementia. Green leafy vegetables were the only produce subgroup showing a statistically significant, independent protective association. Each additional daily serving of leafy greens corresponded to an approximately 18% lower dementia risk. The […]

The overlooked nutrient 91.7% of Americans are missing: Why choline matters now more than ever
Choline is an essential nutrient critical for brain development, liver function, immune health and DNA methylation, yet 91.7% of Americans fail to meet daily intake recommendations. The adequate intake is 425 mg daily for women and 550 mg for men, with pregnant women needing 450-550 mg for optimal fetal development. New research published in The […]

Study: Intermittent fasting may shield brain from chronic stress damage
New research in mice suggests intermittent fasting protects the brain from stress-induced damage to myelin, the protective coating around nerve cells. The study found fasting altered gut microbiome composition, which may mediate the brain-protective effects. Stressed mice that followed intermittent fasting showed fewer depression-like behaviors and less myelin damage than those eating normally. The findings […]

Magnesium: The sleep mineral science says most Americans are missing
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions crucial for sleep, brain function and muscle relaxation. Low magnesium levels are linked to poor sleep, anxiety, chronic diseases including Alzheimer’s and hypertension. Magnesium glycinate shows greatest effectiveness for sleep support due to its high bioavailability and calming glycine content. The mineral works by calming the nervous […]
