Purdue's listing describes separate opportunities involving milk, diet, gut measures, movement, cognition and family health. Recruitment status and study details should be confirmed with each research team; the studies are not product tests or proof of nutrition-shake claims.
Gut microbes may affect hormone-related signals, but the evidence ranges from animal experiments to human associations. Here is what those findings say, and what they do not prove about powders, shakes, and supplements.
Ghana is investing in agriculture and local food initiatives to strengthen food security. Rice and poultry self-sufficiency have risen, but getting harvests to market and turning innovation into better nutrition remain challenges.
A review points to tryptophan, vitamin B6, magnesium, fibre, polyphenols and plant melatonin in pistachios. Here's how to separate that nutritional profile from proof of a sleep benefit, and what to check on food and shake labels.
In a study of 43 family triads, fathers' higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with heavier newborns and more fat in two measured body regions, but not greater total body fat. The findings are preliminary and do not establish cause and effect or support claims about specific products.
Reports on a 2025 study found better reaction time and memory measures among young adults who ate 50 grams of walnuts at breakfast. The available details are limited, and the findings don't show that walnuts prevent cognitive decline or that breakfast is the best time for everyone.
A review looks at how pistachio nutrients and plant compounds might relate to sleep. It does not show that eating pistachios improves sleep in people, and shoppers should read food-label claims with care.
Heart-healthy eating can start with familiar meals, not an expensive or unfamiliar menu. The key is to adapt sound dietary principles to local food access and household budgets, and to judge packaged products by their full labels.
Research on probiotics and respiratory infections shows possible benefits, but the evidence is limited. Here's what yogurt labels can tell you, and what they can't.
Parsley contains apigenin and other plant compounds studied in early research, but available evidence does not show that eating parsley reduces cancer risk. Here's how to separate preliminary findings from product claims and what to check on labels for parsley or greens supplements.
Whole prunes and prune juice have both been studied for constipation relief, but they offer different amounts of fiber. The better fit depends on what you tolerate and what you want from a serving.
A report linked eating fish at least twice a week with healthier-looking white matter. The available research context does not verify that finding or show that fish caused it. Here is what the claim means, and what omega-3 labels on shakes and supplements can tell you.
Research suggests natural trans fats in dairy may affect health differently from industrial trans fats. Here is what the findings do and do not tell shake shoppers about dairy ingredients, Nutrition Facts panels and product claims.
Green tea may modestly affect cholesterol, but it has not been shown to prevent cardiovascular events. Drinking it earlier gives caffeine more time to wear off before bed, while product labels can help separate brewed tea from extracts and drink mixes.
McGill researchers tested 12 diets in mice. Some high-sugar, high-fat diets were associated with stronger responses to immune checkpoint blockade, but the findings are not a dietary recommendation for patients.
Water, unsweetened tea and drinks with protein or fiber can complement breakfast, but they are not blood-sugar treatments. Here is what to check on labels, from added sugars and serving sizes to protein and marketing claims.
After three hours of moderate cycling, 11 trained cyclists produced more power in a 12-minute time trial when they received sodium- and potassium-bicarbonate gel with carbohydrates. The small, specific study does not establish a universal dose or guarantee individual benefit.
Yogurt can provide protein and calcium, nutrients linked to muscle and bone health as we age. Research has found some favorable associations, but it does not show that yogurt prevents frailty or fractures. Here's what to check on the label and what the studies can and cannot tell us.
An analysis of diet and health data from more than 46,000 U.S. adults found that one extra daily serving of pulses was associated with 19% lower cardiometabolic disease risk. The study does not prove pulses prevent disease or show that powders and shake blends have the same effect.
Researchers followed 112,395 French adults for a median of 7.9 years and found that higher intake of some preservative groups was associated with more hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The observational study does not prove cause, but it offers context for reading ingredient and nutrition panels.
Small studies suggest some familiar foods may offer modest sleep benefits, but none is a sleep treatment. Here is what the research says and what to check on sleep-product labels.
A review of 95 meta-analyses found no reported link between dairy intake and higher cardiovascular risk. That does not prove dairy is protective: the product, serving size and what it replaces all matter.
A 14-year study of 204,938 UK Biobank participants linked closer adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet with lower risks of some diseases. Its blood findings do not show that a diet or supplement caused those differences, or prove a health claim.
The University of Illinois has announced a statewide center focused on food systems, nutrition security and public health. A public opening is planned for September 24, 2026, but the announcement describes a research and partnership hub, not a product program or proof of improved food access.
A review linked higher whole-grain intake to a small drop in systolic blood pressure and changes in other health markers. Here is what the serving range means, what to check on shake labels, and why sodium and potassium both count.
A Lagos State University greenhouse trial found that zinc oxide nanoparticles made from sunflower leaves helped eggplants grow taller, with more leaves and higher protein and mineral content. The results point to a possible alternative to synthetic fertilizers, but outside confirmation is still missing.
A small UCSF study found that adults with depression who cut back on ultra-processed foods saw clear improvements in their symptoms. The results add to growing evidence that what we eat can affect both mental and physical health.
Dietitians are calling out cinnamon as the go-to spice for better cholesterol. Here's what the research says, how to use it safely, and why it might be worth adding to your meals.
DailyColours packs phytonutrients from 16 Mediterranean fruits, vegetables, and herbs into a four-color blend. Early studies look at whether this mix can do what single-compound supplements can't for healthy aging and brain health.
A clinical trial found that drinking a vinegar beverage every day led to more weekly bowel movements in adults with mild constipation. The results point to vinegar as a possible tool for regular digestion, but there are limits.
