A study in @Nature_NPJ Parkinson's Disease reports that consuming a high-quality diet may help address the pro-inflammatory dysbiosis in Parkinson’s disease patients and possibly provide some protection against disease progression. go.nature.com/3UKf4EE

Association of pica with cortisol and inflammation among Latina pregnant women

Association of pica with cortisol and inflammation among Latina pregnant women

Pica, the urge to consume items generally not considered food, such as dirt, raw starch, and ice, are particularly common among pregnant women. However, the biology of pica in pregnancy is not well...
