A new Stanford Medicine study finds that cutting ultra-processed foods from school menus will be difficult to carry out in practice. The research highlights the practical challenges schools face in phasing out such products, which are common in cafeteria offerings due to cost, convenience and supply factors. The findings temper expectations that schools can quickly adopt healthier menus despite growing pressure to improve children's diets.

Stanford Medicine researchers have announced findings that the human brain functions as two distinct organs, according to a report by KRON 4. The claim, coming from a leading medical institution, suggests the two halves of the brain operate more independently than previously understood. Details of the underlying research methods have not yet been made widely available, and experts have not publicly weighed in on the announcement.
