A new study from San Diego State University researchers reveals that the temperature of what we eat and drink, whether hot or cold, may significantly affect our mental and gut health.

The study, recently published in the British Journal of Nutrition, looked at more than 400 Asian and white adult participants in the U.S. This is the first study in the U.S. to directly link cold and hot dietary consumption to multiple health outcomes, with important implications for addressing rising rates of anxiety, insomnia and digestive issues.

Patients who receive systemic anti-cancer treatment near end of life are more likely to be hospitalized, go to the intensive care unit or emergency department, and are less likely to utilize hospice care in the final 30 days of life, according to researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. This pattern of care was observed in patients who received all types of systemic anticancer therapy, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapies. The findings were published today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
