As plant-based diets gain traction, interest in their impacts on the gut microbiome is growing. However, little is known about diet-pattern-specific metagenomic profiles across populations. Here we considered 21,561 individuals spanning 5 independent, multinational, human cohorts to map how differences in diet pattern (omnivore, vegetarian and vegan) are reflected in gut microbiomes. Microbial profiles distinguished… Continue reading Gut #microbiome signatures of vegan, vegetarian and omnivore diets and associated health outcomes across 21,561 individuals

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
Vegan and Omnivorous High Protein Diets Support Comparable Daily Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Rates and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Young Adults
AbstractBackgroundIt remains unclear whether non–animal-derived dietary protein sources (and therefore vegan diets) can support resistance training-induced skeletal muscle remodeling to the same extent as animal-derived protein sources.MethodsIn Phase 1, 16 healthy young adults (m = 8, f = 8; age: 23 ± 1 y; BMI: 23 ± 1 kg/m2) completed a 3-d dietary intervention (high… Continue reading Vegan and Omnivorous High Protein Diets Support Comparable Daily Myofibrillar Protein Synthesis Rates and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Young Adults
Using source-associated mobile genetic elements to identify zoonotic extraintestinal E. coli infections
Highlights•Meat may be an important vehicle for human exposure to extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli strains from food animals.•We present a novel approach for predicting the origins of clinical E. coli isolates.•Approximately 8% of the clinical E. coli isolates in our population appeared to be foodborne zoonotic strains.•Foodborne zoonotic E. coli strains were associated with asymptomatic… Continue reading Using source-associated mobile genetic elements to identify zoonotic extraintestinal E. coli infections
Risk of cancer in regular and low meat-eaters, fish-eaters, and vegetarians: a prospective analysis of UK Biobank participants
Following a vegetarian diet has become increasingly popular and some evidence suggests that being vegetarian may be associated with a lower risk of cancer overall. However, for specific cancer sites, the evidence is limited. Our aim was to assess the associations of vegetarian and non-vegetarian diets with risks of all cancer, colorectal cancer, postmenopausal breast… Continue reading Risk of cancer in regular and low meat-eaters, fish-eaters, and vegetarians: a prospective analysis of UK Biobank participants
#Meat consumption and risk of incident #dementia: cohort study of 493,888 UK Biobank participants
Worldwide, the prevalence of dementia is increasing and diet as a modifiable factor could play a role. Meat consumption has been cross-sectionally associated with dementia risk, but specific amounts and types related to risk of incident dementia remain poorly understood. Objective We aimed to investigate associations between meat consumption and risk of incident dementia in… Continue reading #Meat consumption and risk of incident #dementia: cohort study of 493,888 UK Biobank participants
#Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, and Mental #Distress among Young and Mature Men and Women: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study
Customization of mental health therapies needs to consider the differences in degree of brain maturity between young (18–29 years) and mature (30 years or older) adults as well as brain morphology among men and women. The aim of this study was to identify the significant dietary and lifestyle contributors to mental distress in these sub-populations.… Continue reading #Diet, Exercise, Lifestyle, and Mental #Distress among Young and Mature Men and Women: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study
Association between Neu5Gc carbohydrate and serum antibodies against it provides the molecular link to #cancer: French NutriNet-Santé study
High consumption of red and processed meat is commonly associated with increased cancer risk, particularly colorectal cancer. Antibodies against the red meat-derived carbohydrate N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) exacerbate cancer in “human-like” mice. Human anti-Neu5Gc IgG and red meat are both independently proposed to increase cancer risk, yet how diet affects these antibodies is largely unknown.. ..We… Continue reading Association between Neu5Gc carbohydrate and serum antibodies against it provides the molecular link to #cancer: French NutriNet-Santé study
Associations of Processed #Meat, Unprocessed Red Meat, Poultry, or #Fish Intake With Incident #Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality
Although the associations between processed meat intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality have been established, the associations of unprocessed red meat, poultry, or fish consumption with CVD and all-cause mortality are still uncertain.. .. Intake of processed meat (adjusted HR, 1.03 [95% CI, 1.02-1.05]; adjusted ARD, 0.90% [95% CI, 0.43%-1.38%]) or unprocessed red… Continue reading Associations of Processed #Meat, Unprocessed Red Meat, Poultry, or #Fish Intake With Incident #Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality
