In a massive study of more than 80,000 adults, scientists have found a link between bright artificial light in the evenings and age-related eye disease. At the extreme, light exposure was associated with a 31% higher risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), as well as an 18% and 47% increased risk of cataracts and glaucoma, respectively.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has long been linked to a microbial imbalance in the gut, a phenomenon scientists call dysbiosis. But a new study from the University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital points to this dynamic being more complicated than initially thought, with not just bacteria behind it but the viruses living inside them.
