  We will discuss several new results from the NPLQCD Collaboration that
combine lattice QCD results on (hyper)nuclear systems at unphysical pion masses
together with nuclear effective field theories. Two-baryon channels with
strangeness $0$ to $-4$ are analyzed, with findings that point to interesting
symmetries observed in hypernuclear forces as predicted in the limit of QCD
with a large number of colors. Also, several matrix elements of light nuclei
are studied. The tritium axial charge, related to the Gamow-Teller matrix
element, and the longitudinal momentum fraction of $^3$He that is carried by
the isovector combination of $u$ and $d$ are extracted and extrapolated to the
physical point. For this latter case, it can be seen how including lattice
results to experimental determinations can have imminent potential to enable
more precise determinations and to reveal the QCD origins of the EMC effect.
