            "description": "Dieticians explain what happens when you eat honey every day, in moderation. Its plant-based antioxidants help combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation and support overall health. Its prebiotic compounds support beneficial bacteria in the gut, and its blend of glucose and fructose provides sustained energy.",
            "content": "Sweet, sticky, and wonderfully versatile, honey is a pantry staple we regularly turn to at breakfast or tea time, and other meals, too. More than an unrefined sweetener, honey is a superfood packed with health benefits, which begs the question: what ... [4847 chars]",

            "description": "Chronic liver disease (CLD) causes 2 million annual deaths (4% of all global deaths). While gut bacteria are widely studied, intestinal fungi remain largely overlooked despite their critical roles in maintaining microecological homeostasis. This review summarizes fungal characteristics in alcohol-related liver disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and cirrhosis, analyzing roles of fungi and their metabolites. Targeting the gut fungal community may offer therapeutic strategies for CLD.",

            "title": "Identification of pharmaceuticals and environmental contaminants as obesogens inducing a locomotion-independent thrifty phenotype",
            "description": "Obesity is a global pandemic that affects people of all ages. While behavioral, nutritional, and socioeconomic factors all contribute to weight gain, other factors in our immediate environment play an insidious role in the prevalence of obesity. Exposure to environmental and pharmaceutical compounds can be a contributing factor to increased weight gain. Using the zebrafish obesogenic test, our study demonstrates that amiodarone, dibutyl phthalate, rosiglitazone, tributyltin, and triclosan induce a thrifty phenotype under short-term fasting conditions. Diazepam significantly reduces locomotion without exhibiting any obesogenic effect, whereas tributyltin, which has the highest obesogenic potential among the tested compounds, has no effect on locomotion. The obesogen-induced resistance to fat loss is not correlated to inhibition of physical activity and a corresponding reduction in energy expenditure, nor to food consumption. Primary prevention measures to fight against the obesity pandemic may include reducing exposure to obesogens that can induce a thrifty phenotype. Environmental and pharmaceutical compounds induce an obesogenic thrifty phenotype in zebrafish under short-term fasting conditions, which are related neither to locomotor activity changes nor to food consumption.",
