Background: Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease that commonly affects calves under 6 weeks old. The causative agent, Cryptosporidium parvum, has been associated with the abundance of specific taxa in the faecal microbiome during active infection. However, the long-term impact of these microbiome shifts, and potential effects on calf growth and health have not yet been explored in depth.

This study assessed the level of UPF and minimally processed food consumption among regular and low red meat eaters, flexitarians, pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans in a large dataset of United Kingdom (UK) adults.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the UK Biobank participants recruited between December 19, 2006, and October 1, 2010.
Mitochondria form a dynamic network in cells, regulated by the balance between mitochondrial fusion and fission. The inhibition of mitochondrial fission can have positive effects in acute ischemic/reperfusion injury models by preventing the fall in mitochondrial membrane potential associated with fission processes. However, inhibition of fission in chronic models is disadvantageous because it obstructs the elimination of damaged mitochondrial fragments.

- A study analyzed the link between different levels of food processing and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, using data from the EPIC cohort involving nearly 312,000 participants over about 11 years.
- The results showed that higher intake of ultra-processed foods (UPF) was significantly associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, while unprocessed/minimally processed foods and processed foods were linked to a lower risk.
- Sub-group analysis revealed specific types of UPF, like certain breads and plant-based alternatives, that, surprisingly, were associated with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Background: The Universal Infant Free School Meal (UIFSM) policy was introduced in 2014/15 in England and Scotland for schoolchildren aged 4-7 years, leading to an increase in school meal uptake. UK school meals are known to be healthier and less industrially processed than food brought from home (packed lunches). However, the impact of the UIFSM policy on the quantity of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumed at school during lunchtime is unknown.
