High sugar intake, particularly fructose, is implicated in obesity and metabolic complications. On the other hand, fructose from fruits and vegetables has undisputed benefits for metabolic health. This raises a paradoxical question-how the same fructose molecule can be associated with detrimental health effects in some studies and beneficial in others.

- The global obesity epidemic is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, with diet playing a key role in weight gain.
- Ongoing debates focus on whether sugar, fat, or both contribute significantly to rising obesity rates, leading to different theories like the "Carbohydrate Insulin Model" and "Energy Balance Model."
- Recent research highlights the importance of understanding how dietary components interact, suggesting that factors like protein can affect calorie intake and metabolism, which may help resolve conflicting views on obesity and inform new interventions.
Article Synopsis
- - The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), like Pembrolizumab, in people with past solid organ transplants can lead to complications such as organ rejection.
- - Recommendations for managing rejection from ICIs include administering high-dose steroids and increasing immunosuppressive therapy.
- - This text presents a case where Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) was successfully used to treat a patient facing acute lung transplant rejection after receiving an ICI, though data on this approach is still limited.
