A new method accurately sequences short peptides hidden in food and the human body, revealing their critical roles in health and disease. This breakthrough could transform nutrition and medicine.

KEY TAKEAWAY The method identifies peptides as short as 2 amino acids—previously undetectable

KEY TAKEAWAY Found 1,200+ unknown peptides in common foods like milk and wheat

KEY TAKEAWAY Could explain why some people react to "gluten-free" foods

KEY TAKEAWAY Personalized diets based on peptide sensitivity may be next

KEY FACT 1 in 3 people carry immune receptors for food peptides science couldn't identify until now.
