Epidemiologic Associations for Protection of Infants: 2015 Clinical Study

A large prospective cohort study examined how different forms of cow’s milk consumption affect infant health during the first year of life, with a focus on common infections. The findings suggest that raw (unprocessed) cow’s milk is associated with a lower risk of respiratory infections and other illnesses, potentially due to bioactive components with immunomodulatory effects that may be diminished by heat processing. However, these results must be interpreted alongside unresolved safety questions, inconsistent reporting of some outcomes, and broader evidence on both the benefits and risks of raw milk consumption.

Scientists supercharge immune cells to destroy cancer more effectively

Researchers have found a way to make cancer-killing immune cells more powerful and precise. By adding specific signaling components, they boosted the cells’ readiness to attack tumors. Surprisingly, briefly suppressing the cells with a drug before use made them even more effective later. The approach could help create safer, stronger next-gen cancer treatments.

Scientists discover natural hormone that reverses obesity

A hormone called FGF21 can reverse obesity in mice by activating a newly identified brain circuit tied to metabolism. Surprisingly, it works in the hindbrain—the same region targeted by GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy—but through a completely different mechanism. Instead of suppressing appetite, FGF21 ramps up the body’s energy burning. This insight could pave the way for more targeted weight-loss and liver disease treatments.
