Pomegranate compound improves heart function by up to 80% in study

A compound the body can make after eating pomegranates, walnuts, and some berries improved measures of heart function by up to 80% in animal models of a difficult-to-treat form of heart failure. Urolithin A helped stiff heart tissue relax and reduced scarring and abnormal enlargement. It also improved relaxation in engineered human heart tissue.

Ocean heatwaves are hiding months of extra warming

Marine heatwaves may be only the most intense part of much longer warming events, with elevated temperatures sometimes lingering for months. Researchers found that conventional measurements underestimate total heat exposure by more than 150% on average, potentially overlooking a major source of stress on marine ecosystems.

Vitamin C linked to fewer deaths in blood disorder trial

Vitamin C may do more than support the immune system. In a phase 2 trial of people with precancerous or low risk blood cancers, daily vitamin C did not slow abnormal cell growth, but it was linked to favorable changes in inflammation and fewer serious complications. An exploratory follow up also found fewer deaths among participants taking vitamin C than among those receiving placebo.

Newly Published Study: EPA Atrazine Plan Will Leave 99% of Most-Contaminated Waterways Polluted at Unsafe Levels

A federal plan to clean up atrazine would leave 99% of the nation’s most contaminated watersheds polluted with the pesticide at levels the Environmental Protection Agency itself considers unsafe, according to a peer-reviewed study published today in the Journal of Environmental Quality. Lakes, rivers and streams in these watersheds provide drinking water for millions of Americans.
