Healthy babies born in Britain after scientists used DNA from three people to avoid genetic disease
Most DNA is found in the nucleus of our cells, and it's that genetic material — some inherited from mom, some from dad — that makes us who we are. But there's also some DNA outside of the cell's nucleus, in structures called mitochondria. Dangerous mutations there can cause a range of diseases in children that can lead to muscle weakness, seizures, developmental delays, major organ failure and death.

Researchers issue urgent warning over 'invisible' health threat lurking all around us: 'Biggest drivers of death'
Researchers issue urgent warning over 'invisible' health threat lurking all around us: 'Biggest drivers of death' A meta-analysis of "countless" peer-reviewed studies and interviews with dozens of subject matter experts identified a threat that researchers say is as grave as planetary warming is flying frighteningly under our radar, the Guardian reported. What's happening? "Novel entities" at first may conjure up images of newly established businesses or ghosts, but the concept is more unsettling than an encounter with the latter. The Guardian indicated that an insidious form of chemical pollution poses a threat "of a similar order as climate change," citing a report from Deep Science Ventures, a company focused on research and enterprise. DSV started with a question: "What if one of the biggest threats to our health and planet is invisible, yet found in our air, food, and water?" Enter novel entities, "chemicals not found in nature," 100 million of which, DSV estimates, have been introduced by the industrial economy. In its report, DSV established that these substances have much "potential for unwanted geophysical and/or biological effects." Harry Macpherson, senior climate associate at DSV, noted that people are often shocked by how unmonitored the issue truly is, and went on to provide an alarmingly relatable example. "Maybe people think that when you walk down the street breathing the air; you drink your water, you eat your food; you use your personal care products, your shampoo, cleaning products for your house, the furniture in your house; a lot of people assume that there's really great knowledge and huge due diligence on the chemical safety of these things. But it really isn't the case," Macpherson said, per the Guardian. Why is DSV's report so concerning? Macpherson wasn't wrong — even diligent consumers who take steps to avoid plastic or other potential contaminants often can't rely on manufacturers' disclosures for everything from what's in our kitchens to how objects might adversely impact household health and the planet. DSV's review noted that novel entities evade detection, emphasizing "critical shortcomings in current toxicity assessment, research, and testing methods" to quantify the vast array of adverse impacts on humans — with particularly pronounced effects on reproductive health. "The way that we've generally done the testing has meant that we've missed a lot of effects," Macpherson observed, and DSV's "Novel Entities: A Ticking Time Bomb" report bore that out.

"Two million lives and 53 million disability-adjusted life-years … were lost in 2019 due to exposure to selected chemicals," it read, highlighting exposure to lead and occupational contamination as the "biggest drivers of death." What's being done about it? Given the framing of the report, "nothing" appeared to be an unsettling answer to that conclusion, but Macpherson advocated for serious research and funding and a shockingly simple partial solution. Researchers "obviously don't want less funding" for climate research. "But this we think — really, proportionally — needs more attention," he added, before expressing some optimism about the potential for a straightforward, consumer-driven fix. "There isn't necessarily the need for a massive collective action; it can just be demand for safer products, because people want safer products," Macpherson said.

Dollar store food shopping isn't derailing American diets, study suggests
Dollar stores tend to sell less healthy food, but households that shop there appear to compensate by making healthier purchases elsewhere, a new study suggests. Researchers from Tufts University in Boston analyzed more than a decade of household food purchasing data from 183,000 U.S. households between 2008 and 2020. The study, published Monday in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, found that dollar stores now account for 6.5% of household calories, double the 3.4% they made up in 2008. MORE: How dollar store grocery options stack up to traditional stores To track the healthfulness of household food purchases and diet quality, the team looked at data from the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), which ranges from 0 to 100. The HEI measures how closely a person's diet aligns with national dietary guidelines, considering factors such as fruit and vegetable intake, whole grains and fat consumption. Higher scores indicate better alignment with these recommendations. Researchers excluded non-food items like alcohol and tobacco, as well as fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, and seafood, which don't have standard nutrition labels. Meals eaten outside the home, such as those at restaurants, were also not included in the assessment. Households with substantial purchases at dollar stores had an HEI score of 46.3, which was similar to the 48.2 score of those with moderate purchases and the 50.5 score of those with no purchases. "Purchases directly from dollar stores were less healthy, but even households that bought a lot from dollar stores had overall diets similar in healthfulness to those who bought less -- suggesting they may be getting healthier options from other places," Dr. Wenhui Feng, a professor of health care policy research at Tufts University School of Medicine and lead author of the study, told ABC News. Families were likely strategizing by purchasing certain items at dollar stores for affordability, while continuing to buy healthier items at other grocery stores, Feng suggested. The study also found overall that household diet quality remained consistent long-term, even as the share of food calories from dollar stores doubled. "Most of what dollar stores sell is likely ultra-processed -- packaged, ready-to-eat foods that tend to be higher in salt and additives that aren't necessarily healthy," Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, a professor of nutritional medicine at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, who was not involved in the study, told ABC News. MORE: Dollar Tree and Family Dollar will close 1,000 stores following fourth-quarter loss St-Onge said this is troubling given the rapid growth of dollar stores, especially in low-income and rural areas. In these areas, dollar stores play a much larger role in food access, sometimes serving as one of the few nearby retail options, she noted. But St-Onge added that the issue probably won't be solved by simply restricting dollar stores. "Everyone should have access to affordable, healthful foods no matter where they're sold," she said. "If dollar stores are more prevalent in certain neighborhoods, improving their offerings would be a great step." Feng stressed that food accessibility is clearly a nuanced issue that requires work beyond just stopping the expansion of dollar stores. Even if the issue of access is solved, he said that nutritional inequality may still exist due to consumer preferences and economic constraints. "I don't think there is one policy that can make food purchase immediately healthier. We should approach this as part of the greater discussion about food access and food affordability," Feng said.
