Early-Adult Weight Gain Linked to Higher Lifetime Mortality, Study Finds

A Lund University study followed more than 600,000 people from age 17 to 60 and found that obesity onset in early adulthood (17–29) was linked to about 70% higher all-cause mortality during follow-up, driven largely by cardiovascular disease. The findings suggest the duration of obesity, rather than late-life weight gain, may drive risk, potentially via long-term insulin resistance and inflammation. Exercise and diet data weren’t analyzed, and there are sex-related nuances; the takeaway is to aim to prevent obesity early in life.

Carbs That Don’t Add Calories May Slow Metabolism and Boost Weight in Mice

A mouse study found a strong preference for carbohydrate-rich foods like bread and rice can cause weight gain and higher fat without increasing total calories, due to reduced energy expenditure and metabolic changes in the liver. Removing wheat flour from the diet improved weight and metabolic health, suggesting carbs influence weight beyond calorie count and warrant human studies on whole grains, fiber, and processing effects.

Haliburton pins shingles and meds for weight gain after viral Pacers photo

Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton says his recent weight gain was due to a shingles bout and hunger-inducing side effects from his medications, not the Pringles memes. He’s battled shingles for about eight weeks, has switched meds (and even gotten a Botox injection), and though his eye has been swollen and he’s lost part of an eyebrow, he’s back to workouts as Indiana finishes its season and looks ahead to recovery.

Juice Isn’t a No-Calories Elixir: Big Study Links 100% Fruit Juice to Weight Gain

A large meta-analysis published in JAMA Pediatrics found that each additional daily serving of 100% fruit juice is linked to weight gain in both children and adults (about a 0.03 BMI increase per serving in kids and 0.02 in adults). Experts say this may be due to extra calories and rapidly digested sugars from juice, plus the fiber lost when juicing. The takeaway is to prioritize whole fruit, choose 100% juice with no added sugars, limit juice to roughly 4–6 ounces if you drink it, and consider diluting with sparkling water to keep portions small while still enjoying the beverage.

Blocking SCoR2 Could Halt Fat Production and Lower Cholesterol

A Cleveland team identified SCoR2, an enzyme that removes nitric oxide from proteins controlling fat storage and production. In mice, inhibiting SCoR2 prevented weight gain, reduced liver damage, and lowered cholesterol, suggesting a first‑in‑class drug could treat obesity and cardiovascular disease, with clinical trials anticipated in about 18 months.

Five Surprising Signs Your Cortisol Is Running High

Causes include ongoing stress, Cushing's syndrome, illness, sleep deprivation, pregnancy, and certain medications or supplements. Since cortisol levels can fluctuate and diagnoses can be tricky, consult a doctor if you notice persistent symptoms or notable health changes.
