Researchers investigated in an animal model how the brain regulates feeding triggered by hunger or other factors

Researchers also find that maternal fitness, specifically exercise, appears to boost levels of the lipid metabolite in breast milk and so might benefit their babies

New research could indicate, that often regardless of lab results, individuals with obesity are sent to intensive care sooner, perhaps because of an unconscious bias

New research shows that brain plasticity is impaired in obese people, making it less likely that they can learn new tasks or remember things

Low food security now widespread in the US due to the COVID-19 crisis
