Research reveals that the distinct 'old people smell' is caused by increased levels of the chemical 2-nonenal, which results from oxidative stress breaking down skin fats. Consuming mushrooms, rich in antioxidants like ergothioneine and spermidine, can help reduce this odor by neutralizing 2-nonenal, as traditional methods like showering and perfume are ineffective.

A study conducted at the University of Helsinki found that substituting red and processed meat with legume-based food products, such as peas and faba beans, did not negatively impact bone health or protein nutrition. The study involved 102 Finnish men who followed a study diet for six weeks, with one group consuming red and processed meat and the other consuming legume-based products. The researchers observed no differences in bone formation or resorption markers between the groups, and both groups met the recommendations for essential amino acid and protein intakes. The findings support the environmental and health benefits of reducing red meat consumption and increasing legume consumption.
