The consumption of red wine induces headaches in some subjects who can drink other alcoholic beverages without suffering. The cause for this effect has been attributed to a number of components, often the high level of phenolics in red wine, but a mechanism has been elusive. Some alcohol consumers exhibit flushing and experience headaches, and… Continue reading Inhibition of ALDH2 by quercetin glucuronide suggests a new hypothesis to explain red #wine #headaches

Consumption of ultra-processed #foods and risk of multimorbidity of #cancer and #cardiometabolic diseases: a multinational cohort study
It is currently unknown whether ultra-processed foods (UPFs) consumption is associated with a higher incidence of multimorbidity. We examined the relationship of total and subgroup consumption of UPFs with the risk of multimorbidity defined as the co-occurrence of at least two chronic diseases in an individual among first cancer at any site, cardiovascular disease, and… Continue reading Consumption of ultra-processed #foods and risk of multimorbidity of #cancer and #cardiometabolic diseases: a multinational cohort study
The Potential Role of Vitamin #E in Managing Non-Alcoholic Fatty #Liver Disease: Insights from Japan’s Aichi Medical University Study
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a significant public health concern, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver without excessive alcohol consumption, NAFLD can progress to more severe conditions, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and cirrhosis. While lifestyle modifications remain a cornerstone in managing NAFLD, recent… Continue reading The Potential Role of Vitamin #E in Managing Non-Alcoholic Fatty #Liver Disease: Insights from Japan’s Aichi Medical University Study
Effect of Dietary #Sodium on Blood #PressureA Crossover Trial
Dietary sodium recommendations are debated partly due to variable blood pressure (BP) response to sodium intake. Furthermore, the BP effect of dietary sodium among individuals taking antihypertensive medications is understudied.Objectives To examine the distribution of within-individual BP response to dietary sodium, the difference in BP between individuals allocated to consume a high- or low-sodium diet first,… Continue reading Effect of Dietary #Sodium on Blood #PressureA Crossover Trial
Associations between Metabolomic Biomarkers of #Avocado Intake and #Glycemia in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
BackgroundAvocado consumption is linked to better glucose homeostasis, but small associations suggest potential population heterogeneity. Metabolomic data capture the effects of food intake after digestion and metabolism, thus accounting for individual differences in these processes.ObjectivesTo identify metabolomic biomarkers of avocado intake and to examine their associations with glycemia.MethodsBaseline data from 6224 multi-ethnic older adults (62% female) included self-reported avocado… Continue reading Associations between Metabolomic Biomarkers of #Avocado Intake and #Glycemia in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Dietary #Sodium Intake and Risk of Incident Type 2 #Diabetes
ObjectiveTo fill the knowledge gap of the relation between long-term dietary sodium intake and type 2 diabetes (T2D), we evaluate the association between the frequency of adding salt to foods, a surrogate marker for evaluating the long-term sodium intake, and incident T2D risk.MethodsA total of 402,982 participants from UK Biobank (March 13, 2006 – October… Continue reading Dietary #Sodium Intake and Risk of Incident Type 2 #Diabetes
Untargeted metabolomic analysis investigating links between unprocessed red #meat intake and markers of #inflammation
BackgroundWhether red meat consumption is associated with higher inflammation or confounded by increased adiposity remains unclear. Plasma metabolites capture the effects of diet after food is processed, digested, and absorbed, and correlate with markers of inflammation, so they can help clarify diet-health relationships.ObjectiveTo identify whether any metabolites associated with red meat intake are also associated… Continue reading Untargeted metabolomic analysis investigating links between unprocessed red #meat intake and markers of #inflammation
Ultra-processed #foods and #cardiometabolic health: public health policies to reduce consumption cannot wait
Incomplete understanding of the multiple mechanisms underlying the link between ultra-processed foods and cardiometabolic health should not be an excuse for inaction argue Mathilde Touvier and colleaguesThe effect of diet on health has historically been considered from a nutrient based perspective—for example, excess total fat, saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, calories, sugar, or salt and lack of… Continue reading Ultra-processed #foods and #cardiometabolic health: public health policies to reduce consumption cannot wait
Use of #sugar in #coffee and #tea and long-term risk of #mortality in older adult Danish men: 32 years of follow-up from a prospective cohort study
Tea and coffee are the most consumed beverages worldwide and very often sweetened with sugar. However, the association between the use of sugar in tea or coffee and adverse events is currently unclear.ObjectivesTo investigate the association between the addition of sugar to coffee or tea, and the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality… Continue reading Use of #sugar in #coffee and #tea and long-term risk of #mortality in older adult Danish men: 32 years of follow-up from a prospective cohort study
