West Nile virus detected in Berks County, Pennsylvania, officials say
The Berks County Conservation District is warning residents after West Nile virus was detected in Shillington and Reading, Pennsylvania. Officials with the conservation district say that while the current risk of transmission is still relatively low, if the virus activity continues, an adult mosquito control truck spray may be required in both areas. In Shillington, a mosquito sample collected in the borough tested positive for West Nile virus. While in Reading, a mosquito pool came back positive for the virus. The county's conservation district shared some safety precautions for residents to keep in mind. Since the virus was discovered in Shillington, the conservation district's mosquito team is conducting more larval and adult mosquito surveillance to help prevent the disease from spreading. Earlier this summer, West Nile virus was detected in Northeast Philadelphia and Darby, Delaware County, in July.

Real Food vs. Supplements: What's Better for Your Health?
Reviewed by Dietitian Maria Laura Haddad-GarciaKey Points Nutrients work better in combination—whole foods boost absorption more than supplements. Simple food pairings, like spinach and lemon, can unlock powerful health benefits. Supplements have their place, but they can't replicate the full benefits of real strolling down the vitamin aisle with a list of supplements your favorite podcaster swears by—vitamin D, creatine, magnesium, turmeric, omega-3s. You pause, eyeing price tags, wondering if these pills will really deliver on their promises: better immunity, clearer skin, sharper memory. You hesitate. Do I need all of this? Later that day, in your kitchen, you build a simple salad—baby spinach, a few sliced strawberries, grilled chicken, maybe a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. It's not a 'superfood' meal. It's just dinner. But what you've made unlocks the behind-the-scenes magic of food: nutrient synergy. We often hear about individual nutrients—vitamin C for immunity, calcium for bones, iron for energy—but food doesn't work in isolation. They work together as a team. 'All the parts that make up the whole food are greater than the sum of those individual parts,' says Sohaib Imtiaz, M.D., Chief Health Officer for Dotdash Meredith Health Brands and a board-certified lifestyle medicine physician. So, if you've ever wondered whether it's better to eat your nutrients or take them in a pill form, this guide is for you. Here's what nutrient synergy means, why it matters more than ever in an age of $100 supplements and how to use it to get more nutrition from every bite. What Is Nutrient Synergy? Nutrient synergy refers to the way certain nutrients work better when consumed together. Rather than acting alone—as they often do in supplements—some nutrients enhance each other's absorption or benefits when eaten in combination. 'In simple terms, a synergistic effect is how two or more nutrients or foods enhance each other's benefits when they're consumed together,' explains Imtiaz. 'We use the word 'potentiates' to describe this—that synergy potentiates the absorption or biological function.' Think of it like a band: each musician can perform solo, but it's better when they play in harmony. Take iron and vitamin C, for example. Non-heme iron (from plant sources like spinach) isn't well absorbed on its own. Pairing it with a source of vitamin C makes it more bioavailable, enhancing its absorption, says Fiorella DiCarlo, RD, CDN. For instance, 'Lemon dressing on spinach salad or strawberries in a side salad.' Here are other powerful food pairings that demonstrate this concept: Turmeric + Black Pepper: Curcumin, turmeric's active compound, is poorly absorbed without help. 'When you take turmeric with black pepper, it can increase the absorption [of curcumin] by even 20-fold,' says Imtiaz. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, dramatically enhances curcumin's bioavailability. Carotenoids + Fat: Adding a heart-healthy fat to carotenoid-rich vegetables like tomatoes and carrots helps improve the absorption of these nutrients. 'A study found that people who ate salads with avocado absorbed significantly more lutein, beta-carotene and lycopene than those who ate a fat-free salad,' explains Imtiaz. Garlic or Onions + Legumes or Grains: Sulfur compounds in garlic and onions can enhance zinc and iron absorption from beans and whole grains. 'Beans and rice with garlic and onions—it doesn't just taste better, it's working better,' notes Imtiaz. Real Foods Deliver More Than the Sum of Their Parts 'Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds aren't just collections of individual nutrients,' says Sarah Berry, Ph.D. 'They combine fiber, fats, plant compounds and vitamins in a structure that affects how they're digested, absorbed and used by the body.' One striking example? Almonds. "Whole almonds have rigid cell walls that trap fat inside. Around 30% of the calories from whole almonds aren't absorbed because those fats remain locked in the fiber matrix,' says Berry. Rather than being wasted, those leftover calories feed beneficial gut bacteria—a function supplements can't replicate. That's the power of the entourage effect—when multiple compounds in a plant, such as polyphenols, terpenes and flavonoids, work together to enhance the health benefits of the whole food. 'When we eat a whole food, we are receiving multiple benefits all at once,' says Jessica Garay, Ph.D., RDN, and assistant professor of nutrition and food studies at Syracuse University. 'The orange is a natural source of not only vitamin C, but also potassium and fiber.' Fiber is often the missing piece in a supplement-heavy diet. It slows digestion, helps modulate blood sugar and delivers nutrients to the lower gut, where they feed your microbiome. 'Whole foods such as vegetables and fruit have other benefits like phytonutrients and fiber that have enormous benefits for health,' says DiCarlo. Gut health is another area where food outperforms pills. 'We haven't even touched the microbiome,' Imtiaz says. 'But [gut health] supplements don't have the same effect that whole foods do.' Research shows that eating a diverse range of plant foods each week can improve your gut health and may lower the risk of chronic conditions like diabetes, depression and obesity. How you cook your food matters, too. 'Overcooking can destroy nutrients,' Imtiaz says. 'Boiling vegetables and discarding the water? You've just lost water-soluble vitamins.' Gentle steaming, sautéing and roasting with a bit of fat can preserve nutrients and boost absorption. Some everyday habits may also block nutrient synergy: Tea or coffee with iron-rich meals can reduce iron absorption by up to 40%. Alcohol can damage the gut lining and interfere with folate, vitamin B12 and zinc absorption. Ultra-low-fat diets may limit the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K. Ultra-processed foods often lack fiber and crowd out opportunities for synergistic nutrient combinations. The Limits of Supplements So what happens when you strip nutrients out of their food matrix and package them into pills? Supplements can play a role in filling nutrient gaps, but they often don't deliver the same benefits as food does. For instance, Imtiaz mentions that one study showed that participants who drank orange juice experienced less DNA damage than those who took an equal amount of vitamin C in supplement form. The nutrients may have been equal, but the health benefits were not. This isn't an isolated case. In a well-known trial, researchers found that people who consumed many beta-carotene-rich fruits and vegetables had lower rates of lung cancer than those who didn't. Hoping to replicate those benefits, they gave beta-carotene supplements to people who smoked to see if the pills could help prevent the disease. But the results were surprising and concerning. 'They found an increased incidence of lung cancer among those who took the supplements,' says Imtiaz. 'The supplements did not have the same effect as the foods, and whole foods have never been linked to such harm.' Similar findings have emerged for vitamin E. 'In a study, the supplement group had higher intake, but randomized controlled trials didn't show the same benefit,' says Imtiaz. 'In fact, high doses may increase risk for heart disease and prostate cancer.' Bioavailability—how well your body absorbs a nutrient—is another concern. For example, 'You might see 500 milligrams [of calcium] on a label, but you could be absorbing only a fraction of that,' notes Imtiaz. Many factors, such as what you eat with a supplement, when you take it and its form, affect bioavailability. Plus, some nutrients even compete with each other. Too much calcium can reduce magnesium absorption and excess zinc can interfere with copper. When Supplements Do Make Sense Supplements aren't all bad, despite their limitations. 'They definitely have their place,' says Imtiaz. 'In cases of deficiency, or where food access is limited, supplements can be really helpful,' says Garay. She compares them to car insurance: 'It will help fill the gaps if we need to fix something, but it doesn't replace the vehicle itself.' However, always make sure to talk to a healthcare provider before starting any supplement. Imtiaz suggests getting bloodwork that can identify any deficiencies. That said, Imtiaz notes that these nutrients (for certain situations) may be commonly recommended as supplements: Vitamin D for people with limited sun exposure Vitamin B12 for those over 50 or following a vegan diet Folic acid during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects Iron for people with anemia or heavy periods Omega-3s for those who don't eat fish Electrolytes for endurance athletes Creatine for muscle and cognitive support Our Expert Take 'Eat the rainbow, not the capsule,' Imtiaz says. 'Supplements can help close gaps, but they won't give you the benefit of a heart-healthy or cancer-fighting diet.' Berry agrees: 'Food is more than just nutrients. It's a delivery system. The way you experience it—how it feels in your mouth, how long it takes to digest, how it interacts with your microbiome—all of that matters.' The good news? You don't need to overhaul your diet to benefit from nutrient synergy. Simple additions like adding lemon to spinach, olive oil to veggies, almonds with fruit can make a big difference. So the next time you reach for a supplement, ask yourself: could I just build a better meal instead? Read the original article on EATINGWELL

Ex-Trump surgeon general says RFK Jr.'s halt to mRNA vaccine research threatens "most promising areas of modern medicine"
Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams — who served during the first Trump administration — said Sunday that Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr's halting of around $500 million dollars for mRNA vaccine research risks stalling progress in "many of the most promising areas of modern medicine." Kennedy announced last week that the administration was canceling 22 mRNA vaccine development projects, saying the vaccines "fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu." The projects were funded through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA. Kennedy said the funds would be shifted toward "safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate." Adams, who appeared Sunday on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," said Kennedy's assertions about the efficacy of mRNA vaccines are "simply not true." "We know that by the most conservative estimates, upward of 2 million lives have been saved because of mRNA technology," Adams said. "It helped us develop COVID-19 vaccines in record time. And it's, quite frankly, President Trump's greatest achievement." The mRNA technology was central to Operation Warp Speed, a public-private partnership aimed at quickly developing COVID-19 vaccines at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic near the end of Mr. Trump's first term. If the U.S. had relied on older vaccine technology, it could have taken an extra 18 to 24 months to develop COVID-19 shots, Adams said. Asked about Kennedy's move by CBS News earlier this week, Mr. Trump said, "Operation Warp Speed was, whether you're Republican or a Democrat, considered one of the most incredible things ever done in this country," while noting that he had upcoming meetings on the topic. Adams, who was involved in the Operation Warp Speed effort, said it's "fascinating" to him that, as Mr. Trump and his allies discuss whether he deserves a Nobel Prize, "the thing that he should be considered for the Nobel Prize for, his health secretary is trying to undermine." The former surgeon general outlined that mRNA is a type of natural molecule that's present in the body and operates like a "recipe card that tells your body how to make a protein." He said the technology "helps us develop vaccines and new treatments" in other areas — from cancers to HIV to the flu and the Zika virus. "These are advances that are not going to happen now," Adams said. "People are going to die because we're cutting short funding for this technology." Adams also criticized Kennedy for his response to a shooting outside Centers for Disease Control and Prevention buildings in Atlanta on Friday. Investigators have been looking into possible motives, including the possibility that the suspect believed he was sick as a result of the COVID vaccine, multiple sources told CBS News. "How you respond to a crisis defines a leader. Quite frankly, Secretary Kennedy has failed in his first major test in this regard," Adams said, accusing Kennedy of issuing "tepid response" to the shooting, while adding, "and that's not even considering how his inflammatory rhetoric in the past have actually contributed to a lot of what's been going on." In a statement Friday, Kennedy said, "No one should face violence while working to protect the health of others." But Adams argued Kennedy has not "unequivocally condemned the violence." "There's an out there," Adams said. "If you don't believe that people are working to protect the public, then that means it's okay to commit violence, at least in some people's eyes." The former surgeon general said people at the CDC were calling him after the shooting asking him to make a public statement "because they felt under attack." "They didn't know if this was going to continue," Adams said. "They were scared, and they wanted someone, someone who they felt had a public voice, to go out there and say, 'This is wrong. Violence is wrong.'"
