Children living in greener neighborhoods performed better on attention and achievement assessments.
Researchers analyzed data from nearly 12,000 children across the United States.
Better air quality may help explain why access to green spaces is associated with stronger cognitive performance.
Between schoolwork, screen time, and everyday distractions, children have plenty of things competing for their attention. But new research suggests that something as simple as having more trees and parks nearby could make a difference.
A study from Washington University in St. Louis found that children living in neighborhoods with greater access to green spaces tended to perform better on attention assessments and tests measuring academic-related skills.

Researchers found that people who reported eating late at night had a 20% to 30% higher rate of liver disease.
The study examined health and lifestyle information from nearly 200,000 participants across three long-running research projects.
Researchers say finishing meals several hours before bedtime may support liver health, although more research is needed to confirm the connection.
Late-night snacking might seem like a harmless habit, especially after a long day. But new research suggests that when you eat could have an impact on your liver health, too.
A study led by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) found an association between eating late at night and an increased risk of two liver conditions: metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), commonly known as fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis, a serious condition involving liver scarring.

Researchers found no overall association between eating more ultra-processed foods and developing colorectal cancer.
Ultra-processed whole grains and dairy products were associated with lower cancer rates, while processed meats were associated with higher rates.
The findings suggest that a food's nutritional content may matter more than its level of processing when considering colorectal cancer risk.
Ultra-processed foods have developed a reputation as something consumers should avoid. From packaged snacks and frozen meals to breakfast cereals and other convenience foods, these products are often criticized for their ingredients and potential effects on long-term health.
Some research has also raised concerns about a possible connection between ultra-processed foods and colorectal cancer. However, a new study suggests that the relationship may not be as straightforward as many people think.

Here are newly announced recalls and safety warnings from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Food and Drug Administration.
Cummins is recalling nearly 3,000 dual-fuel portable generators after reports of fuel discharging and caps ejecting unexpectedly.
Cummins Inc., of Columbus, Indiana, is recalling Cummins Onan P5000iDF EFI Dual Fuel Portable Generators sold in dark gray. The generators run on gasoline or propane and produce between 4,500 and 5,000 watts, depending on the fuel used. Cummins said incorrectly installed valves can keep gasoline vapors from venting properly from the tank.
The faulty valve installation can allow dangerous pressure to build inside the gasoline tank. That pressure can force fuel out of the unit or cause the fuel cap to eject, creating a serious fire and burn hazard. The company has received 11 reports of fuel discharging from the unit and fuel caps ejecting unexpectedly, including one report of a consumer being splashed in the face with fuel. No medical attention was needed.
