Att äta hållbart minskar risken för att dö i cancer. Mycket baljväxter, frukt, grönt och nötter skyddar, medan en hög köttkonsumtion har ett samband med högre dödlighet i cancer. Anna Stubbendorff är nutritionsforskare och Agenda 2030-doktorand och undersöker hur en hållbar diet påverkar hälsan på lång sikt. I grunden är Anna Stubbendorff dietist.

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

I en studie jämförde forskare Vasaloppsåkare med övrig befolkning och såg att risken att utveckla epilepsi var hälften så stor hos dem som åkt loppet. Studien visar inte på orsakssamband, men forskarna menar att det stärker teorier om träningens positiva effekter på hjärnan.

In the Colombian rainforest, cattle ranching is spreading and leading to forest fires and deforestation. This threatens the environment, climate and indigenous people in the Amazon. More efficient use of existing pastures and alternative livelihoods are some of the factors needed to protect the rainforest, according to a new thesis by Jesica López.
