EU Approves a Weight-Loss Food Additive That Could Help Prevent Weight Gain

The EU approved inulin propionate ester, a food additive resulting from 15 years of research. This additive targets gut hormones to curb appetite and prevent gradual weight gain. Meanwhile, a separate study highlights a mild bedtime mistake that can lead to clinically meaningful weight gain over a year. Together, these reports contrast a new regulatory approval for weight management with the impact of specific sleep habits on an individual's overall weight gain.
