Oxidative stress, an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, contributes to chronic diseases. Almonds, rich in vitamin E, polyphenols, and monounsaturated fats, exhibit antioxidant potential, though their overall effects on oxidative biomarkers are unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate almond supplementation’s impact on these biomarkers in adults. Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Scopus, and… Continue reading The impact of #almond supplementation on #oxidative stress biomarkers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials

#Almonds vs. #carbohydrate snacks in an energy-restricted diet: Weight and cardiometabolic outcomes from a randomized trial
ObjectiveThis study evaluated weight and cardiometabolic outcomes after a 3-month energy-restricted diet (−30%) containing almonds (almond-enriched diet [AED]) or containing carbohydrate-rich snacks (nut-free control diet [NFD]) (Phase 1), followed by 6 months of weight maintenance (Phase 2).MethodsParticipants (25–65 years old) with overweight or obesity (BMI 27.5–34.9 kg/m2) were randomly allocated to AED (n = 68) or NFD (n = 72).ResultsBoth groups lost weight… Continue reading #Almonds vs. #carbohydrate snacks in an energy-restricted diet: Weight and cardiometabolic outcomes from a randomized trial
A comparison of the nutritional profile and nutrient density of commercially available plant-based and dairy yogurts in the United States
Plant-based yogurts are sustainable alternatives to dairy yogurts, but a nutritional comparison of plant-based yogurts within the context of dairy yogurts has not yet been applied to commercially available products in the United States. Dairy yogurts provide significant dietary nutrients, and substituting plant-based yogurts may have unintended nutritional consequences. The objective of this study was… Continue reading A comparison of the nutritional profile and nutrient density of commercially available plant-based and dairy yogurts in the United States
Acute feeding with almonds compared to a carbohydrate-based snack improves appetite-regulating hormones with no effect on self-reported appetite sensations: a randomised controlled trial
Early satiety has been identified as one of the mechanisms that may explain the beneficial effects of nuts for reducing obesity. This study compared postprandial changes in appetite-regulating hormones and self-reported appetite ratings after consuming almonds (AL, 15% of energy requirement) or an isocaloric carbohydrate-rich snack bar (SB).MethodsThis is a sub-analysis of baseline assessments of… Continue reading Acute feeding with almonds compared to a carbohydrate-based snack improves appetite-regulating hormones with no effect on self-reported appetite sensations: a randomised controlled trial
