Food Quality Trumps Macros for Heart Health, Large Study Finds

A Harvard-led analysis of nearly 200,000 U.S. health professionals followed for about 30 years finds heart health improves when diets emphasize quality—vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats—while reducing processed foods and excess animal fats, rather than simply counting carbs or fats; this is linked to better cholesterol, lower inflammation, and a lower risk of coronary heart disease, with the study spanning over 5.2 million person-years and published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Low-Cost Fiber Hack and Everyday Habits for a Healthier Gut

Harvard gastroenterologist Dr. Trisha Pasricha says gut health improves with simple, affordable steps: eat more whole and fermented foods, cut alcohol and ultra-processed foods, and try psyllium husk fiber—two teaspoons daily—to meet fiber goals (about 21-25g daily for women and 30-38g for men) at a low cost, with a note to drink plenty of liquid to avoid constipation.

Fiber First: Whole-Plant Foods Beat Supplements for Gut Health

Gastroenterologists say most people should boost fiber mainly through a variety of fiber-rich plant foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds) to support the gut microbiome and reduce chronic-disease risk, with daily targets of 25 g for women and 38 g for men, though many Americans average about 15 g. Supplements like psyllium can help when diet alone falls short, but they provide a single type of fiber and don’t offer the wide range of nutrients found in whole foods.

High Court Keeps Alive Texas Couple’s Tainted Baby Food Lawsuit Against Whole Foods

The Supreme Court unanimously allowed a Texas couple to proceed in state court with their lawsuit accusing Whole Foods and Earth’s Best baby food of poisoning their son with heavy metals, reviving the case after prior dismissals and back-and-forth between state and federal courts. The decision affirms the plaintiffs’ right to pursue claims in state court and follows watchdog findings about toxic metals in some baby foods.

Protein bars: convenient, not a substitute for real food, say nutrition experts

Experts say protein bars can be convenient when a meal isn’t possible, but they aren’t a health shortcut: many contain artificial ingredients and sugar alcohols, so choose bars with simple, recognizable ingredients and limit intake; for most people, meeting protein and fiber needs through whole foods is preferable to relying on bars.

Amazon Fresh to Close About 60 Stores After Struggling to Stand Out in Groceries

Amazon is shutting roughly 60 Amazon Fresh grocery stores in the U.S. after employees and executives said the chain failed to offer a clearly distinctive value proposition, with weak foot traffic, a diffuse product mix, and tepid adoption of its cashierless Just Walk Out tech.

Amazon pivots from Fresh and Go to expand Whole Foods footprint

Amazon will sunset its Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go physical stores and convert several locations into Whole Foods Market outlets, part of a broader shift to prioritizing larger-format stores while keeping Fresh online grocery. The company plans to open more than 100 new Whole Foods locations in coming years and expand Whole Foods Daily Shops, continuing Fresh online delivery. The move follows years of experimentation and prior closures, including UK Fresh stores and Southern California locations, and reflects Amazon's ongoing effort since acquiring Whole Foods in 2017 to gain a bigger share of the grocery market; the cashierless Go tech has been dialed back and repurposed.
