Every few Fridays, I like to make a collection of news stories that revolve around the field of Food Science, Human Nutrition, Vegetarianism, and other Health News. These are studies or reports that are not only super interesting, but also really work to open my mind and remind me that these fields are constantly evolving and finding new information.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that physical activity correlates with language skills and intelligence in children.
A new study brings diet sodas back into the positive light, showing it can help people lose weight.
For the first time, researchers have confirmed that women who eat a poor
diet before they become pregnant are around 50% more likely to have a
preterm birth than those on a healthy diet.
Good news for older runners: a study shows that it takes an 18-year-old athlete the same amount of time to finish a marathon as a 55- or 60-year-old.
University of Leeds has confirmed the positive effect of introducing vegetables and new foods to kids early. According to the study: "exposing infants to a new vegetable early in life encourages them to eat
more of it compared to offering novel vegetables to older children."
These are articles that I find fascinating. If you want to keep up on more news, I suggest going to ScienceDaily, BBC News Health, and EatRight.org. The next news update will be on June 27th.
