Prospective study of dietary pattern and risk of Parkinson disease.
BACKGROUND: Several studies have shown associations between Parkinson Disease (PD) risk and individual foods and nutrients with inconsistent results. OBJECTIVE: We examined associations between dietary patterns and risk of PD in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986-2002) and the Nurses' Health Study (1984-2000). DESIGN: We included 49 692 men and 81 676 women free of […]
Role of cell walls in the bioaccessibility of lipids in almond seeds.
BACKGROUND: Certain nutrients and phytochemicals in almonds may confer protection against cardiovascular disease; but little is known about factors that influence their bioavailability. A crucial and relevant aspect is the amount of these dietary components available for absorption in the intestine; which is a concept referred to as bioaccessibility. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the role played […]
Interaction of fat availability and sex on postprandial satiety and cholecystokinin after mixed-food meals
Partial replacement of saturated fatty acids with almonds or walnuts lowers total plasma cholesterol and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol in USA
Sixteen normolipidemic male volunteers aged 41 +/- 9 y (mean +/- SD) consumed a diet providing 36% of energy as fat (92 g fat/d) for 9 wk. A daily supplement of nuts (providing half of the total fat intake) was provided against a common background diet. In the first 3-wk period the background diet was […]
Effects of diets rich in monounsaturated fatty acids on plasma lipoproteins-the Jerusalem nutrition study: high MUFAs vs high PUFAs

Effects of diets rich in monounsaturated fatty acids on plasma lipoproteins-the Jerusalem nutrition study: high MUFAs vs high PUFAs in USA
Twenty-six Yeshiva students were randomly assigned to a 24-wk crossover study of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) vs polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) diets (50% carbohydrate; 32% fat; 18% protein) fed alternately during two 12-wk periods. Total plasma cholesterol (TC) decreased significantly by approximately 10% and approximately 16% on the MUFA and PUFA diets; respectively. Plasma triglyceride […]
Effects of walnut consumption on plasma fatty acids and lipoproteins in combined hyperlipidemia in USA
BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies show an inverse relation between nut consumption and coronary heart disease. OBJECTIVE: We determined the effects of walnut intake on plasma fatty acids; lipoproteins; and lipoprotein subclasses in patients with combined hyperlipidemia. DESIGN: Participants sequentially adhered to the following diets: 1) a habitual diet (HD); 2) a habitual diet plus walnuts (HD+W); […]
