Mouse study implicates soybean oil in obesity risk
P2-HNF4α Alters Linoleic Acid Metabolism and Mitigates Soybean Oil-Induced Obesity: Role for Oxylipins
Researchers found that mice genetically engineered to express a variant of the liver protein HNF4α (called “P2-HNF4α”) are protected from obesity and fatty-liver disease even when fed a diet high in soybean oil. In contrast, normal (“wild-type”) mice on the same soybean-oil diet gained substantial weight and developed liver fat. The protective effect appears to arise from the variant HNF4α’s ability to alter how the body metabolizes the abundant omega-6 fatty acid Linoleic acid (LA), decreasing the formation of certain LA-derived metabolites (oxylipins) that are associated with fat accumulation, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction.

Restoring the Body’s Energy to Heal from Within
Dr. Mark Hyman and Columbia researcher Dr. Martin Picard explore why energy is the “missing dimension” of medicine, explaining how mitochondrial health shapes everything from mood and cognition to aging and resilience. They discuss how energy can feel “off” even when labs look normal, how mitochondria act as communication hubs producing signals like mitokines, and why stress drains cellular capacity while rest enables adaptation and repair. Key ideas such as the Energy Resistance Principle, the biomarker GDF-15, and the concept of “Mitoception” help reframe fatigue, burnout, and

The Challenge of Reforming Nutritional Epidemiologic Research
The field routinely produces implausible findings and urgently needs structural reform.
John Ioannidis critiques nutritional epidemiology for generating highly confounded, often biologically implausible associations that are frequently misinterpreted as causal. He highlights meta-analyses in which nearly every food appears to meaningfully raise or lower mortality risk—sometimes to absurd degrees—showing how residual confounding, selective reporting, and correlated dietary patterns undermine the credibility of observational findings. Ioannidis stresses that even biomarker-based studies and high-profile trials have struggled to produce reliable, reproducible results.
