Active substance: Mediterranean diet
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide clearer dietary guidance for children with cystic fibrosis, potentially improving gut health and reducing inflammation.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early study with only 20 participants and no control group. Results may not apply to all children with CF, and diet adherence can be challenging.
