Good old reliable milk. New research found that when it is combined with particular oral drugs, milk significantly improves their absorption by the body. It’s the latest study to show that milk is a highly effective drug-delivery vehicle.

A new study has confirmed that weight loss or bariatric surgery is safe and very effective, and, for a large percentage of people who were diabetic before the surgery, meant that they didn’t require diabetes medication five years after.

A new study has found that eating between one and six eggs each week significantly reduces the risk of dying from any cause but particularly from heart disease – even in people who have been diagnosed with high cholesterol levels.

While the price of eggs is unlikely to dip anytime soon, it might be time to find other sources of one of their key nutrients – omega-3. New research on the polyunsaturated fatty acid has uncovered encouraging signs that it can slow biological aging.

US AI giants got a wake-up call this week when fledgling Chinese firm DeepSeek wiped a record-breaking trillion dollars off the value of heavyweights like Nvidia and OpenAI. The technology's gatekeepers are rattled – and they have good reason to be.

A 13-year study of tiny penguins in Australia has dispelled the long-held myth that these seabirds mate for life, with the 'divorce rate' nearly 10 times that of the current statistics for US adults. And, not surprisingly, it all comes down to kids.

In a massive analysis of 113 clinical trials involving nearly 15,000 adults, researchers found that there's just one method that relieves core symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder – but no existing treatment improves quality of life.

A naturally occurring fat molecule reduced heart inflammation and scarring caused by diabetes, thereby improving cardiac function, according to new research. The findings open the door to developing a new treatment for diabetes-induced heart disease.

Adding another plus in the "nuts are good for you" column, new research shows that regular consumption of the superfood not only holds off death, but it also keeps the mind sharp and limits persistent disability. But age was a factor in the study.

A new study has found a link between the rollout of high-speed internet services and a rise in obesity rates. The researchers who conducted the study attribute the increase to the effect of high-speed internet access on physical activity and eating habits.

A. baumannii bacteria is a nasty antibiotic-resistant bug that thrives in hospitals, where it takes advantage of weakened immune systems. Researchers have now found the bacteria's secret weapon and have ideas on how to use it for good.

In the first study of its kind, research has shown that run-walk sessions are an acceptable exercise for many people who suffer from chronic lower back pain. While it won't suit everyone, it may benefit, rather than hinder, health and pain management.
