Food insecurity is a growing public health challenge in the U.S. and has been linked to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and advanced fibrosis. However, little is known of how food insecurity impacts mortality risk and healthcare utilization (HCU) in chronic liver disease. MethodsUsing a population-based cohort study of U.S. adults (≥20 years) in the… Continue reading Food Insecurity is Associated with Mortality Among U.S. Adults with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Advanced Fibrosis

#Meal composition during an ad libitum buffet meal and longitudinal predictions of #weight and percent body fat change: The role of hyper-palatable, energy dense, and ultra-processed foods
Foods that increase obesity risk are ubiquitous in the US food environment. Such foods may be the target of hedonic eating, which may facilitate weight gain and lead to obesity. The study tested whether meal composition during an ad libitum buffet meal was associated with 1-year weight and percent body fat changes among healthy younger… Continue reading #Meal composition during an ad libitum buffet meal and longitudinal predictions of #weight and percent body fat change: The role of hyper-palatable, energy dense, and ultra-processed foods
#Time-restricted feeding protects the blood #pressure circadian rhythm in #diabetic mice
The quantity and quality of food intake have been considered crucial for peoples' wellness. Only recently has it become appreciated that the timing of food intake is also critical. Nondipping blood pressure (BP) is prevalent in diabetic patients and is associated with increased cardiovascular events. However, the causes and mechanisms of nondipping BP in diabetes… Continue reading #Time-restricted feeding protects the blood #pressure circadian rhythm in #diabetic mice
Factors associated with #eating performance in older adults with #dementia in long-term care facilities: a cross-sectional study
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing eating performance in older adults with dementia (OAWDs) in long-term care (LTC) facilities. MethodsThis cross-sectional study examined risk factors for compromised eating performance by comparing both independent and dependent older adults with dementia. The study participants were 117 OAWDs in LTC facilities in South Korea.… Continue reading Factors associated with #eating performance in older adults with #dementia in long-term care facilities: a cross-sectional study
High-#Fiber, Whole-Food Dietary Intervention Alters the Human Gut #Microbiome but Not Fecal Short-Chain Fatty Acids
Dietary shifts can have a direct impact on the gut microbiome by preferentially selecting for microbes capable of utilizing the various dietary nutrients. The intake of dietary fiber has decreased precipitously in the last century, while consumption of processed foods has increased. Fiber, or microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs), persist in the digestive tract and can be… Continue reading High-#Fiber, Whole-Food Dietary Intervention Alters the Human Gut #Microbiome but Not Fecal Short-Chain Fatty Acids
#Blood type #diets lack supporting evidence: a systematic review
Background: Diets that are based on the ABO blood group system have been promoted over the past decade and claim to improve health and decrease risk of disease. To our knowledge, the evidence to support the effectiveness of blood type diets has not previously been assessed in the scientific literature. Objective: In this current systematic… Continue reading #Blood type #diets lack supporting evidence: a systematic review
Effects of oral #semaglutide on energy intake, #food preference, #appetite, control of eating and body #weight in subjects with type 2 #diabetes
Aims To evaluate the effect of oral semaglutide on energy intake and appetite in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials and methods In this randomised, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, two‐period cross‐over trial, 15 subjects with T2D received 12 weeks' treatment with once‐daily oral semaglutide (4‐week dose‐escalation from 3 to 7 to 14 mg) followed by placebo,… Continue reading Effects of oral #semaglutide on energy intake, #food preference, #appetite, control of eating and body #weight in subjects with type 2 #diabetes
#Dietary Inflammatory Potential and Risk of #Cardiovascular Disease Among Men and Women in the U.S.
Inflammation plays an important role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Diet modulates inflammation; however, it remains unknown whether dietary patterns with higher inflammatory potential are associated with long-term CVD risk We prospectively followed 74,578 women from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) (1984–2016), 91,656 women from the NHSII (1991–2015), and 43,911 men from the Health Professionals… Continue reading #Dietary Inflammatory Potential and Risk of #Cardiovascular Disease Among Men and Women in the U.S.
Air #pollution as a determinant of food delivery and related #plastic waste
Plastic waste is a growing environmental concern. The food delivery industry is criticized for its environmental impact, especially its current use of plastic packaging. At the same time, the environment impacts the industry. We show that air pollution is a behavioural driver of food delivery consumption in the urban developing world. Our hypothesis is that… Continue reading Air #pollution as a determinant of food delivery and related #plastic waste
