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

#Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial
Objective Animal studies suggest that prebiotic, plant-derived nutrients could improve homoeostatic and hedonic brain functions through improvements in microbiome–gut–brain communication. However, little is known if these results are applicable to humans. Therefore, we tested the effects of high-dosed prebiotic fibre on reward-related food decision-making in a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over study and assayed potential microbial and… Continue reading #Prebiotic #diet changes neural correlates of #food decision-making in #overweight adults: a randomised controlled within-subject cross-over trial

#Ultra-processed #food consumption is associated with all-cause and #cardiovascular mortality in participants with type 2 #diabetes independent of diet quality: a prospective observational cohort study
BackgroundNutritional strategies for prevention and management of type 2 diabetes traditionally emphasize dietary patterns reflecting nutrient goals, but the health implications of ultra-processed food (UPF) for patients with type 2 diabetes remain unknown.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of UPF intake with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality amongst participants with type 2 diabetes from the Moli-sani… Continue reading #Ultra-processed #food consumption is associated with all-cause and #cardiovascular mortality in participants with type 2 #diabetes independent of diet quality: a prospective observational cohort study
Food Insufficiency, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Status, and 9-Year Trajectory of Cognitive Function in Older Adults: The Longitudinal National Health and Aging Trends Study, 2012–2020
BackgroundDespite findings from cross-sectional studies, how food insecurity experience/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) status relates to cognitive decline over time has not been fully understood.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the longitudinal associations between food insecurity/SNAP status and cognitive function in older adults (≥65 y).MethodsLongitudinal data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study 2012–2020 were analyzed… Continue reading Food Insufficiency, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Status, and 9-Year Trajectory of Cognitive Function in Older Adults: The Longitudinal National Health and Aging Trends Study, 2012–2020
Nutrition, longevity and disease: From molecular mechanisms to interventions
Diet as a whole, encompassing food composition, calorie intake, and the length and frequency of fasting periods, affects the time span in which health and functional capacity are maintained. Here, we analyze aging and nutrition studies in simple organisms, rodents, monkeys, and humans to link longevity to conserved growth and metabolic pathways and outline their… Continue reading Nutrition, longevity and disease: From molecular mechanisms to interventions
Micronutrients and food choice: A case of ‘nutritional wisdom’ in humans?
Many reports show that non-human animals have the ability to select foods based on their micronutrient composition. However, it is unclear whether humans also have this ability, and researchers have lacked appropriate methods to investigate this question. In response to this challenge, we developed an approach that derives evidence from patterns of choices across a… Continue reading Micronutrients and food choice: A case of ‘nutritional wisdom’ in humans?
The Association of Consumption Time for Food With Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality Among Diabetic Patients
AimsThis study aims to investigate whether food intake time across 3 meals is associated with long-term survival among the people with diabetes. Materials and MethodsThis study included 4642 diabetic patients participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2014. Food consumed across a day including the forenoon, afternoon, and evening was… Continue reading The Association of Consumption Time for Food With Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality Among Diabetic Patients
Chronic pain precedes disrupted eating behavior in low-back pain patients
Chronic pain is associated with anhedonia and decreased motivation. These behavioral alterations have been linked to alterations in the limbic brain and could explain the increased risk for obesity in pain patients. The mechanism of these behavioral changes and how they set in in relation to the development of chronic pain remain however poorly understood.… Continue reading Chronic pain precedes disrupted eating behavior in low-back pain patients
