Scientists Discover Childhood Exposure to Common Bacteria May Trigger Early Colon Cancer
A groundbreaking study published in Nature reveals that exposure to colibactin, a toxin produced by certain strains of E. coli bacteria, before age 10 could dramatically accelerate the development of colorectal cancer later in life. This finding may explain the alarming trend of colorectal cancer diagnoses in people under 50, which have been increasing by 2.4% annually according to the American Cancer Society.

The research team, led by Professor Ludmil Alexandrov from UC San Diego, examined nearly 1,000 colorectal cancer genomes and found a distinct genetic fingerprint left by colibactin. This mutation signature was 3.3 times more common in patients with early-onset colon cancer compared to those diagnosed later in life.
"If someone acquires one of these driver mutations by the time they're 10 years old," Alexandrov explained, "they could be decades ahead of schedule for developing colorectal cancer, getting it at age 40 instead of 60."
For parents, this research underscores the importance of understanding potential early childhood E. coli colon cancer risks. While not all E. coli strains produce colibactin, those that do can cause genetic mutations that may initiate cancer development years before symptoms appear.

Diet appears to play a significant role in this process. A separate study from the National Library of Medicine found that Western-style diets rich in red and processed meats and sugar increased the risk of colorectal cancer containing high amounts of the toxin-producing E. coli bacteria.
This discovery "reshapes how we think about cancer," according to Alexandrov. "It might not be just about what happens in adulthood—cancer could potentially be influenced by events in early life, perhaps even the first few years."
While more research is needed, these findings highlight the importance of childhood nutrition and gut health in preventing cancer decades later. For families, focusing on balanced diets lower in processed meats and added sugars may help reduce exposure to harmful bacteria strains associated with these genetic mutations.

Bari Weiss's Free Press Wants You to Know Some Kids Being Starved by Israel Were Already Sick
Starving Palestinian children line up for meals at the Nuseirat refugee camp in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on Aug. 18, 2025. Photo: Moiz Salhi/Anadolu via Getty Images What killed Anne Frank? The Nazis killed Anne Frank. To suggest that any other cause was primary in her vastly premature death is tantamount to vile Holocaust denialism — which is why Holocaust denialists do indeed point out that Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. This is precisely the logic that Israel's apologists in the media have deployed in recent days when it comes to the deliberate starvation of the population of Gaza. The right-wing Free Press published a story on Sunday, framed as an investigative exposé, revealing that at least 12 of the Palestinian children featured in viral images depicting the state of Israel-induced famine were not only starving, but … were also sick. The supposed gotcha is that children with disabilities and preexisting health conditions, who cannot get the treatment and nutrition they need because of Israel's genocidal siege, are not representative of the population. And — the horror! — photographs of these non-representative children are prompting global outrage. The idea is we are supposed to be less horrified by the fact that children with disabilities like cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis are starving to death under the deliberate siege policies of a wealthy, occupying nation-state and its backers. The Free Press, helmed by former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss, is suggesting that in failing to either emphasize or mention the children's health conditions as well as the Israel-induced malnutrition that is killing them, Western media sources using the images are unfairly maligning Israel — despite the fact that it is Israel's genocidal actions that have brought the children to a condition of bare life. It is the very nature of genocide to involve the destruction of conditions necessary for sustaining life, such that sickness as well as direct slaughter destroys, in part or whole, the targeted population. 'This information does not change the fact that the children depicted in this story are suffering from malnutrition due to the difficulties they face accessing aid in Gaza, as reported,' a CNN spokesperson told the Free Press, after the publication informed the network that Hajjaj, a 6-year-old girl featured in a CNN story about starvation in Gaza, was not only starving but also had an 'esophagus condition.' Founded in 2021 by former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, the Free Press pitches itself as home for 'heterodox' thinking, but it has been a reliable platform for the anti-woke, anti-trans, and pro-Israel talking points of mainstream American conservatism. Weiss, who has dedicated her professional life to anti-Palestinian animus and unwavering support for Israel, is reportedly in talks with CBS's new parent company Skydance about buying the online outlet for $250 million. The Free Press is actively stoking genocide denial, but it's not the first media organ to take this odious tack of minimization. In late July, the New York Times cravenly appended a lengthy editor's note and update on a story featuring the image of emaciated 18-month-old Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq to include the fact that he had other health issues 'affecting his brain and his muscle development.' Even if Israel's siege were only leading to the death of Palestinians with preexisting health issues and disabilities, we would still have on our hands a case of intolerable, eugenic slaughter — as if Palestinian sick children's lives are worth less. Needless to say, Israel's project of genocide and ethnic cleansing takes aim at all Palestinians. The Free Press goes as far as to admit, 'It's not that there isn't hunger in Gaza. There is.' It's a gross understatement. As is well documented and widely recognized, Israel is deliberately starving the population of Gaza. This has been made clear in both intent — as expressed by Israeli government ministers — and effect, as evident in the mounting starvation-based death toll of a reported 266 people from malnutrition-related causes, likely a significant underestimate. Reports from health care workers and international humanitarian groups, the desperate direct pleas of thousands and thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, and the exorbitant prices of barely available basic ingredients all confirm the same. Israeli troops, and perhaps security contractors hired by an Israeli-backed aid group, have killed over 1,400 Palestinians attempting to get food at aid sites since May. Palestinians continue to try to access these death traps daily, simply because there is not enough food elsewhere — all by Israeli design. As the historian Adam Tooze pointed out in a recent newsletter, the purposeful starvation of Gaza by Israel is exceptional. There are 11 places in the world currently where more people are at serious risk of hunger than in Gaza, including Yemen and Sudan, but Tooze pointed out that Gaza is unique: 'Being the result of deliberate policy by a powerful state, commonly regarded as belonging to the exclusive club of 'advanced economies', the mass starvation in Gaza in the summer of 2025 is quite unlike that anywhere else in the world.' Tooze added that, while around half of the populations of Yemen, Sudan, South Sudan, and Haiti are at risk of famine, 100 percent of Palestinians in Gaza are. In Gaza, he writes, the 'risk of famine is total.' Read our complete coverage If a person can, after nearly two years of genocidal onslaught, witness the scenes and testimonies from Gaza — of which the images of these malnourished children are just a tiny slice — and find the main problem is that not enough people know that some of the most vulnerable in Israel's genocide have preexisting health conditions, then we are are not speaking from a framework of shared humanity. I dare say there is nothing such a person could see of Palestinians suffering that would permit them to shift their worldview at this point, because the humanity of Palestinians has been a priori excluded from it. The fact that the Free Press story's authors and publishers do not see that their claim is the modern-day equivalent to suggesting that Frank primarily died of typhus makes all too clear that they do not see Palestinians as fully human. It is a supremacist, eugenicist lens that is beneath contempt, yes, but also beneath debate. A worldview that holds Israel's righteousness firmly at its center resists destabilization — even by images of systematically starved and slaughtered children and babies. After all, Zionist propaganda has for decades had to account for the fact that Israel maims, imprisons, and slaughters children. Images of dead Palestinian children and babies did not only start circulating in this genocidal phase of the ongoing Nakba. A decade ago, the late Charles Krauthammer — a Zionist Washington Post columnist — wrote a column titled 'Moral clarity in Gaza,' praising Israel's actions during its 2014 Gaza assault, which killed over 2,000 Palestinians including over 500 children. Atrocity images circulated then, too, including photos of the mangled, limp frames of four Palestinian kids killed on a Gaza beach by Israeli missiles. Krauthammer described the children as 'telegenically killed' — a line that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself then picked up to blame Hamas for using the 'telegenically dead.' Netanyahu admits that Israel's victims are often telegenic — young children tend to be — but relies on dehumanization of Palestinians so inflexible that even the worst scenes of massacred and starved babies can be consumed without compelling immediate action against Israel as génocidaires. The Free Press's so-called corrections are a ghoulish reminder: It is not a problem of insufficient evidence, it is not a problem of knowledge, that continues to fuel, with support and funds, this genocide.

Mom Launches Raw Milk Lawsuit After Losing Unborn Son
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Florida mother has filed a lawsuit against a dairy farm, alleging that raw milk sold at a market caused severe illness in her toddler and led to the loss of her 20-week pregnancy. The complaint, filed August 13 in Seminole County Circuit Court, names Keely Farms Dairy, LLC, and Nature's Natural Foods, LLC, which operates Wild Hare Natural Market, as defendants. Plaintiff Rachel Maddox is suing both individually and on behalf of her minor child, who has required repeated hospitalization since consuming the milk. An attorney representing Maddox told Newsweek that the labeling did not warn consumers about the "extreme dangers" of the products. Keely Farms Dairy, based in New Smyrna Beach, declined to comment beyond a published statement. Wild Hare Natural Market, in Longwood, has not issued a response. Why It Matters Raw milk is a national flashpoint. The CDC and FDA warn it can carry pathogens and stress pasteurization as a key safeguard. Supporters cite taste and possible health benefits. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo in an August 12 post on X wrote that Floridians "have the freedom to make informed health choices" but should "know the risks." U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced support for expanding dairy's role in dietary guidelines and has expressed openness to raw milk's benefits, though interstate sales remain prohibited. Florida law prohibits the sale of raw milk for human consumption, but the product remains available in retail outlets under "animal feed" labeling. With the state health department linking more than 20 illnesses to the dairy's products, the lawsuit raises questions about whether current laws and labeling practices adequately protect families from the risks of unpasteurized milk. Keely Farms Dairy Raw Milk showing labeling that states: 'Feed for Calves - Not for Human Consumption' Keely Farms Dairy Raw Milk showing labeling that states: 'Feed for Calves - Not for Human Consumption' Ron Simon & Associates | Food Poisoning Lawyers What To Know Plaintiff's Allegations According to the complaint, Maddox purchased raw milk in June from Wild Hare Natural Market. The milk was labeled "for consumption by animals," which Maddox said she was told was a technical requirement for selling "farm milk." On June 8, 2025, her toddler developed diarrhea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, and dehydration. He was hospitalized from June 9 to June 12, underwent surgery for intussusception—a condition in which part of the intestine slides into another—and tested positive for E. coli and Campylobacter. His treatment is ongoing. Maddox herself tested positive for Campylobacter after caring for her child, telling WKMG News 6: "I became very ill, and I mean the sickest I've ever been in my life. I came really close to dying and our (unborn) son did die. The doctors told me that I was lucky to be alive." By June 18, she miscarried and was diagnosed with sepsis. She was hospitalized repeatedly in subsequent weeks. Her attorneys argue that labeling on Keely Farms products did not adequately warn consumers. "The labeling on Keely Farms' raw milk products is wholly insufficient to warn a buyer of the extreme dangers of consuming these products," Ron Simon, a food safety attorney representing the plaintiffs, told Newsweek in an August 19 email. Simon added that the labels fail to disclose the products are unpasteurized, do not explain why they are marketed as "Feed for calves – not for human consumption," and were displayed alongside groceries intended for people. "Any reasonable consumer would naturally assume that the Keely Farms products—like the others in the freezer— were safe to consume," he said. Health Department Findings The Florida Department of Health (FDOH) has linked at least 21 illnesses since January 2025 to raw milk from Keely Farms Dairy. Six cases involved children under 10, seven required hospitalization, and two developed severe complications. In an advisory, FDOH said sanitation practices at the dairy were "of concern" and urged Floridians to be aware of the risks of consuming raw dairy. The commissioner of agriculture also encouraged residents to choose pasteurized products. Products marketed by Keely Farms Dairy, including Raw Milk, Greek Yogurt and Raw Kefir, all labeled 'Feed for Calves - Not for Human Consumption" Products marketed by Keely Farms Dairy, including Raw Milk, Greek Yogurt and Raw Kefir, all labeled 'Feed for Calves - Not for Human Consumption" Ron Simon & Associates | Food Poisoning Lawyers Legal Framework Florida law bans the retail sale of raw milk for human consumption. Section 502.091 of the Florida Statutes permits only pasteurized milk and certain aged cheeses to be sold for drinking. Raw milk products may be sold if labeled for animal feed. Keely Farms acknowledges this requirement on its website: "As required by the Federal Pasteurized Milk Ordinance and Florida Statute 502.091, which forbid the sale of unpasteurized milk products for human consumption, our products are labeled: 'Not for Human Consumption' and sold as 'Feed for Calves.'" The complaint argues that such labeling was inadequate, saying: "Any reasonable consumer would naturally assume that the Keely Farms products—like the others in the freezer—were safe to consume." What People Are Saying Ron Simon, attorney for Rachel Maddox said in an email to Newsweek, August 18, 2025: "My client is seeking compensation for her medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering for her illness, her son's illness, and the loss of her unborn child. But most importantly, she filed this lawsuit so that we could determine exactly HOW the products became so contaminated, in order to fix the problems so that this never happens to anyone else again." Alexia Kulwiec, executive director of Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, in a statement on August 15: "The Florida Department of Health's actions are unusual, confusing, and frankly troubling. "Here at FTCLDF, we have experience with many local departments of health. If the Department had evidence that Keely Farms Dairy sold contaminated raw milk for livestock feed, it would be taking serious action against the farm." What Happens Next The lawsuit seeks damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, including claims related to the loss of Maddox's pregnancy. Attorneys emphasize that the case also aims to clarify how the contamination occurred. No trial date has been set, and further proceedings will depend on the court's scheduling. The Florida Department of Health has stated it will continue working with Keely Farms Dairy to improve sanitation practices while maintaining its advisory that Floridians should be aware of the risks of consuming raw dairy products.

7-Day Weight-Loss Meal Plan for Insulin Resistance, Created by a Dietitian
About This Plan This 7-day plan is set at 1,500 calories, with modifications for 2,000 calories. Each day provides at least 68 g of protein and 28 g of fiber to support healthy blood sugar levels. This plan prioritizes lean proteins, plus fiber-rich foods such as fruits, veggies and whole grains. Insulin is a hormone that plays a vital role in how your body cells obtain energy to function properly. After meals, some of the food you eat is broken down into a sugar called glucose, causing a normal increase in blood sugar levels. In response, the pancreas releases insulin, which signals the body to move sugar out of the blood and into the muscle, liver and fat cells for energy. When the body is insulin resistant, it doesn't respond as efficiently to released insulin. As a result, the pancreas releases more and more insulin to counteract the decreased sensitivity and return the blood sugars to healthy levels. Over time, the pancreas can't keep up with the increased demand for insulin, meaning that blood sugars are less able to return to normal levels, which results in elevated blood sugars. This meal plan prioritizes fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and beans and lean proteins to help you manage your blood sugars. It is also set at a calorie level to help you lose weight and to serve as a framework for a nutritious eating pattern. Let's get started.

Frequently asked Questions Is it OK to mix and match meals if there's one I don't like? Yes! This meal plan is meant to serve as inspiration. It doesn't need to be followed exactly to reap the benefits. When choosing recipes, we made sure to check the calories, fiber, protein and sodium to align with the parameters of this plan and be within our sodium limits. If you're making a recipe swap, it may be helpful to choose a recipe with similar calories, fiber, protein and sodium levels. For more inspiration, check out these delicious Low-Carb Recipes. Can I eat the same breakfast or lunch every day? Definitely, it's fine to eat the same breakfast or lunch every day. The breakfasts range from 286 to 345 calories while the lunches span 351 to 402 calories. These ranges are fairly close, though if you're closely monitoring your calories or other nutrients, like protein, you may want to adjust a snack or two. Why is there not a modification for 1,200 calories? We no longer provide modifications for 1,200-calorie days in our meal plans. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests that limiting calories to 1,200 per day is too low for most people to meet their nutritional needs, plus it's unsustainable for long-term health and well-being. Can insulin resistance lead to type 2 diabetes? Yes, insulin resistance is a precursor to several health concerns, including prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity. Tips for Managing Insulin Resistance It's pretty challenging to pinpoint exactly what causes insulin resistance. And it can lurk for many years before symptoms are apparent, making it difficult to diagnose. However, factors like genetics, a sedentary lifestyle, a high-calorie, high-sugar diet, elevated LDL cholesterol and obesity may increase your risk of insulin resistance. Cutting back on these foods is a great place to start. Adding more fiber-rich plant foods and lean proteins, and reducing foods high in added sugar and saturated fat can help improve diet quality overall. Insulin resistance can impact your weight because the excess blood sugars are stored as fat, particularly visceral fat—fat around the abdomen and organs. That said, losing weight is one of the many steps that can help improve insulin resistance. The lack of physical activity can make it harder for your body to manage glucose levels. So, getting into a good workout routine may also help you manage insulin resistance.
