The diet that beat Mediterranean eating for weight loss
A new study suggests that switching to a low-fat vegan diet can promote weight loss by reducing the body's overall acidity and inflammation.
Researchers compared a plant-based diet with a Mediterranean diet in 62 overweight adults over 16 weeks.
The study found that the vegan diet significantly decreased the body's acid load, a change not observed with the Mediterranean diet.
This reduction in acid load on the vegan diet was associated with participants losing up to 5 kg (13 lbs), even after adjusting for calorie intake.
Scientists recommend consuming alkalizing foods like leafy greens, berries, legumes, and certain grains to achieve these health benefits.

Softball umpire collapses and dies in front of horrified children during a game
A much-loved softball umpire known as 'Uncle Mitch' has died after collapsing during a South Carolina youth tournament. Mitchell Huggins, 61, was rushed to hospital on Saturday afternoon after falling ill and passing out while officiating a game at Sumter Park, according to reports. He was pronounced dead at around 6pm at Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital. Sumter County Coroner's Office later revealed to WACH-TV that the cause of death was heat stroke. County Coroner Robbie Baker said: 'People don't realize what heat does to a body, especially if you're properly hydrated the day before'. It's reported that temperatures reached 90 Fahrenheit on the day, however, photos taken of a thermometer on the turf showed it registered at 182.5 degrees. Huggins' sister, Pamela Rufus, has since confirmed that funeral services for the softball coach will be held on Saturday afternoon. Speaking to WIS, Rufus revealed that she was able to FaceTime her sibling when he momentarily regained consciousness before then passing out again. She later added: 'He just did what he did. I don't think he looked at temperature. He felt temperature, but he didn't look at temperature'. Another bystander told KARE-TV: 'He said he was hot. They tried to cool him down and got him some water. They finally called the ambulance, put him in a wheelchair, and rolled him down to the entrance of the ball field. He just slumped over'. Meanwhile, a Go Fund Me page set up for Huggins' family described the softball coach as 'not just an umpire'. 'He was a prominent figure in our community, recognized for his contagious smile and unwavering commitment. His passion for the game of softball and the people involved was always evident. 'His generosity, kindness, and encouragement have left a huge impact on countless individuals. He played a pivotal role in shaping the lives of numerous players, coaches, and officials. The number of lives Mitch positively influenced is immeasurable'. 'Mr. Mitch has a large family several of whom umpired with him. He often talked about his 14-year-old son Sheldon Hugging who's birthday is just a few short days away on July 4th and fiancé Margret McFadden among many others'.

Briefing on Iran strikes divides senators as Trump pours fuel on tensions
Good morning. A delayed, behind-closed-doors intelligence briefing on the US bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities has divided senators down party lines, while Donald Trump ignited a fresh debate by claiming the Democrats had leaked a Pentagon assessment that found last weekend's strikes had been limited in their success. Senators were briefed after a delay that led Democrats to accuse Trump of blocking congressional oversight on the strikes he had authorized without members' approval. Even as senators were being briefed, Trump escalated tensions by making a Truth Social post accusing Democrats of leaking the Pentagon report that suggested last weekend's strikes had only delayed Iran's nuclear program by months – contradicting the president's insistence that it was 'obliterated'. What did the defense secretary say? Pete Hegseth maintained that the strikes, which Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has sought to downplay, had decimated Tehran's nuclear program – an assessment largely based on AI modeling. Donald Trump gathered congressional leaders and cabinet secretaries at the White House on Thursday to try to mobilize support for his controversial tax-and-spending bill that could struggle to pass through the Senate. With the Senate majority leader, John Thune, mulling an initial vote on the bill on Friday, it is unclear whether Republicans have enough votes to push it through Congress's upper chamber. Trump wants the legislation ready to be signed off by 4 July. Democrats have labelled the bill the 'big, ugly betrayal'. Why are they so opposed? Because it would slash Medicaid by the largest amount since its creation and cost an estimated 16 million people their insurance. The bill also cuts funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), which helps low-income Americans buy food. The health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's vaccine panel has voted against seasonal influenza vaccines containing a specific preservative in a shock move that could threaten future vaccine availability. Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic, fired all 17 former members of the previous federal vaccine panel in June and appointed eight new members who are all ideologically allied with him. He has urged against the use of thimerosal despite a lack of evidence of real-world harm. Experts said the decision by the panel – five of whom voted for the restriction, while one abstained and one voted against – was not backed by the science. 'There is a very big difference between what was shared at the meeting versus what is reality,' said Dr Sean O'Leary, the chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases. 'The science on thimerosal is settled, and the rhetoric being used to suggest otherwise is misleading and harmful.' What impact could the restriction have? Dr Cody Meissner, the panel member who was the only 'no' vote, said he was concerned that people may miss out on an influenza vaccine if the only available version contained thimerosal, stressing that the risk from flu 'is so much greater than the nonexistent – as far as we know – risk from thimerosal'. Japan has reportedly executed a man labelled the 'Twitter killer' who murdered nine people he met on the site, in the country's first instance of the death penalty since 2022. Undocumented pregnant women in the Dominican Republic are dying because they are avoiding going to hospital in fear of deportation. Activists and a Native American tribe have protested against the creation of an outdoor migrant detention camp in the Florida Everglades nicknamed 'Alligator Alcatraz' by state officials. A US citizen was arrested during an immigration raid in downtown Los Angeles this week. Up to 35,000 Ukrainian children are missing, experts have estimated, saying they believe them to be held in Russia and the territories it occupies. They fear many have been sent to military camps, foster care, or adopted by Russian families. Nathaniel Raymond, the executive director of Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab, which has been investigating the abductions, says: 'This is likely the largest child abduction in war since world war two – comparable to the Germanification of Polish children by the Nazis.' As Irish rap group Kneecap prepare to perform at Glastonbury this weekend, they discuss the popularity of their pro-Palestine stance, their music's satirical character, and what they see as misplaced attention on themselves instead of on Gaza. 'They don't want us coming to the American festivals, because they don't want videos of young Americans chanting 'free Palestine' [even though] that is the actual belief in America,' member Mo Chara said. Campaigners have called for storms to be named after fossil fuel companies, after the UK's weather forecasting service launched a storm naming competition. They recommended doing so to remind the public of the connection between burning fossil fuels and more frequent and severe extreme weather. When Miles Mitchell saw a flyer advertising a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest in New York, he thought it was a joke. But he'd gone viral in the past because people thought he looked like the actor – so he decided to give it a go. He describes how winning this bizarre competition changed his life – and how soon Chalamet was the one asking him for photos. First Thing is delivered to thousands of inboxes every weekday.

Why our chins remain an evolutionary mystery
Scientists are still trying to understand the evolutionary reasons behind unique human features, such as the chin and the relative size of testicles. The concept of convergent evolution, where a feature evolves multiple times independently, serves as a natural experiment to determine the purpose of body parts. Analysis of testicle size across various mammals, including monkeys, gorillas, chimps, and dolphins, reveals a consistent correlation between larger testicles and promiscuous mating behaviors. This correlation suggests that larger testicles evolved to facilitate sperm competition in species with multiple partners, with human testicle size falling in the middle. The human chin remains an evolutionary mystery because its uniqueness among mammals, including Neanderthals, prevents the use of convergent evolution to test hypotheses about its purpose.
