Natuurlijk nieuws
- A new JAMA Psychiatrie study reveals that psychosis symptoms, long divided into labels like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder by standard psychiatric practices, share common brain changes linked to dopamine dysfunction. These findings undermine the practice of prescribing drugs based on diagnosis alone, which often leave patients stuck in trial-and-error treatment systems. The study highlights the flaws of one-size-fits-all medicine and the urgent need for more innovative, natural approaches that address root causes and support the whole person, not just the disease label
- People diagnosed with depression are often deficient in multiple minerals according to new research published in Voedingsstoffen by Korean researchers. Using data from the US NHANES and Korean KNHANES, the researchers found that Americans deficient in potassium, zinc and iron were more likely to have depression, whilst the Korean data associated sodium, potassium and phosphorus deficiencies with depression. Overall the findings support a return to nutrient-dense, plant-rich, wholefood diets alongside a significant reduction in the consumption of highly-processed calorie, rather than nutrient dense foods.

- New research, published in Appetite, shows it’s not processing alone that drives us to overeat highly-processed foods, but the way foods are formulated and perceived by individuals, with sweet, fatty, calorie-dense foods most likely to trigger hedonic overeating. The researchers didn’t explore the fact that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are engineered with combinations of fats, carbs and proteins rarely found in nature, deliberately overriding our natural satiety systems. This makes them highly “bingeable,” fuelling overeating, obesity, and food addiction
- Alternative approaches to supporting people with autism have been dismissed out of hand by a new umbrella review published in Natuur Menselijk Gedrag. The researchers conducting the review of 19 complementary, alternative and integrative medicine options (CAIM), claimed evidence supporting the use of non-medical interventions was too low quality to “…support the efficacy of any CAIM”. The authors of the paper have also created a website to discourage people from engaging with alternative options as they search for solutions to deal with often complex conditions that can and do respond well to dietary and lifestyle changes
- In sharp contrast to the above umbrella review dismissing alternative interventions for autism, a new narrative review, published in Acta Microbiologica et Immunologica Hungarica, highlights the critical role of gut microbiota in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with ASD often show reduced microbial diversity, with lower levels of beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and higher levels of harmful species. This imbalance disrupts the microbiota and in turn, the gut–brain axis, influencing neurodevelopment and behaviour. An increasing level of evidence suggests probiotics, dietary interventions, and even faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can improve symptoms
- Een ander recent onderzoek, gepubliceerd in Natuur Mededelingen, adds to data underscoring the importance of the gut-immune-brain axis for reducing autistic behaviours. The mouse study found removal of gut microbes reduced autism-like behaviours and lowered inflammation, while the addition of certain bacterial species reduced brain inflammation and associated ASD behaviours. Together the two studies reinforce the importance of a healthy gut in shaping brain function and opening doors to innovative therapeutic strategies to support those dealing with autism
- A sweeping new review, published in Tobacco Control, confirms what health advocates have long warned: vaping is not a safe option for young people. Researchers found that children, teens, and young adults who vape are approximately three times more likely to start smoking cigarettes, with many going on to smoke more heavily—a clear “gateway effect.” Beyond nicotine addiction, vaping is linked to asthma, lung injury, mental health struggles, and higher risks of alcohol and drug use. Far from harmless, e-cigarettes expose users to toxic chemicals and metals while priming a new generation for tobacco-related disease—despite aggressive marketing that suggests otherwise by the big corporates and heath authorities pushing vaping.

ANH-USA Update
- The FDA has spent decades blocking truthful, government-backed nutrition science from reaching you at the point of sale. On Tuesday 2nd September, ANH-USA filed a petition with the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to change that—so consumers can finally be allowed to see accurate, responsible health information on food and supplement labels.

Free Speech Threats
- Brazil has become the latest country to use child safety online to fast track mandatory rules for digital platforms operating in Brazil that will further expand online censorship by the incumbent government. The urgency motion was passed using a symbolic vote that relies on the presiding officer’s view of consensus, after requests for a formal, recorded vote were rejected

- Moderna has won a further court hearing, on appeal, in its dispute with Pfizer/BioNTech over a patent dispute around the use of modified mRNA in covid jabs. Moderna’s press release states the UK is “the first jurisdiction globally to issue a second-instance decision confirming the validity of one of Moderna’s core mRNA patents.”

- The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is doubling down on its recommendations for infants, young children and children in “high-risk” groups as it goes against changes to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendations for covid jabs for children and pregnant women, for the first time in 30 years. The Defender has more.
