    Health Claims on Food May Hide Nutritional Trade-Offs●Study Finds Health Claims Can Mask Nutritional Trade-Offs in Food Products✉newsHealthNutrition4 h ago

    A new study finds that health claims printed on food packaging can obscure important nutritional trade-offs. Products marketed as healthy in one respect may be worse in others, such as higher sugar or lower protein, leading shoppers to overestimate their overall nutritional value. Researchers say the findings raise questions about labelling rules and how consumers interpret front-of-pack claims.

    Tiny RNA and protein recycling help rice endure drought▼Tiny RNA and a protein recycling system help rice survive drought by tuning ROS levels✉newsScienceBiology7 h ago

    Researchers report that a small RNA working with the cell's protein recycling system helps rice survive drought by regulating levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The finding clarifies how rice fine-tunes stress responses at the molecular level, and could inform breeding or engineering of drought-resistant rice varieties as climate pressures intensify for a staple crop feeding billions.
