Consumption of trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) precursors, such as carnitine found in lean beef, raises circulating TMAO concentrations; however, a healthy dietary pattern may attenuate these effects.MethodsThis randomized, 4‐period crossover, controlled‐feeding study investigated the effects of Mediterranean‐style (MED) diets (carbohydrate 42%, protein 17%, fat 41%) with 14 (MED0.5; 0.5 oz), 71 (MED2.5; 2.5 oz), and 156… Continue reading Effect of Varying Quantities of Lean #Beef as Part of a #Mediterranean‐Style #Dietary Pattern on Gut #Microbiota and Plasma, Fecal, and Urinary Metabolites: A Randomized Crossover Controlled Feeding Trial

#Coffee for the #liver: a mechanistic approach
The liver, which is essential for metabolism and detoxification, is vulnerable to various damaging factors, including viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, and a diet high in fat and sugar. Coffee, one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide, is valued not only for its flavor and aroma but also for its potential health benefits. In… Continue reading #Coffee for the #liver: a mechanistic approach
Association Between Pro-Inflammatory Potential of #Diet and Inflammatory Parameters in a Group of Patients with Inflammatory #Bowel Disease
Background: The etiopathogenesis of IBD is not fully known; however, both genetic and environmental risk factors, including diet, are contributors to the disease. The present study aimed to determine the effect of dietary inflammatory potential, assessed using the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), on disease activity and inflammatory markers, such as IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-10, in… Continue reading Association Between Pro-Inflammatory Potential of #Diet and Inflammatory Parameters in a Group of Patients with Inflammatory #Bowel Disease
Association Between Consumption of Low- and No-Calorie Artificial #Sweeteners and #Cognitive DeclineAn 8-Year Prospective Study
Background and ObjectivesConsumption of low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCSs) has been associated with adverse health outcomes. However, little is known about the association between consumption of LNCSs and cognition. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between consumption of LNCSs and cognitive decline.MethodsWe conducted a longitudinal observational study using data from civil… Continue reading Association Between Consumption of Low- and No-Calorie Artificial #Sweeteners and #Cognitive DeclineAn 8-Year Prospective Study
#Meal timing trajectories in #older adults and their associations with #morbidity, genetic profiles, and #mortality
Older adults are vulnerable to mistimed food intake due to health and environmental changes; characterizing meal timing may inform strategies to promote healthy aging. We investigated longitudinal trajectories of self-reported meal timing in older adults and their associations with morbidity, genetic profiles, and all-cause mortality.MethodsWe analyzed data from 2945 community-dwelling older adults from the University… Continue reading #Meal timing trajectories in #older adults and their associations with #morbidity, genetic profiles, and #mortality
Dietary vitamin #K intake associates with reduced all-cause #mortality in non-alcoholic #fatty #liver disease patients
This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary vitamin K intake and all-cause mortality in individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We analyzed data from 7857 NAFLD participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005–2018) linked to mortality outcomes from the National Death Index (NDI). Dietary vitamin K intake was… Continue reading Dietary vitamin #K intake associates with reduced all-cause #mortality in non-alcoholic #fatty #liver disease patients
#Mineral Intake and #Depression: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study Based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys in Korea and the United States
Background/Objectives: Depression is a major global health burden, and previous studies suggest that nutrient deficiencies may contribute to its development. However, research on mineral intake and depression, particularly sodium and potassium, is limited. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in Korea (KNHANES) and the United States… Continue reading #Mineral Intake and #Depression: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study Based on National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys in Korea and the United States
Breast #milk IgG engages the mouse #neonatal #immune system to instruct responses to #gut #antigens
INTRODUCTIONIn mammals, the early-life period after birth is a time of profound immune development during which the generation of appropriate responses to newly encountered commensal and environmental antigens is crucial for maintaining health. Breast milk is positioned to regulate nascent mucosal immune responses through the delivery of live microbes, commensal-selecting oligosaccharides, maternal cells, and immunomodulatory… Continue reading Breast #milk IgG engages the mouse #neonatal #immune system to instruct responses to #gut #antigens
#Coffee ’s Impact on #Health and #Well-Being
AbstractCoffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, with over 60% of Americans drinking it daily. This review examines coffee’s multifaceted impact on health and well-being, drawing on decades of research. Overall, the consensus is that moderate coffee intake is more beneficial than harmful across a wide range of health outcomes. Numerous large-scale,… Continue reading #Coffee ’s Impact on #Health and #Well-Being
