Metabolisable energy from nuts and patterns of nut consumption in the Australian population: a secondary analysis of the 2011-12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey
Background: Nut intake is not associated with increased body weight, which may be explained by their metabolisable energy, among other factors. Therefore, total energy intake may be overestimated among nut consumers. This study aimed to describe the metabolisable energy from nuts and nut consumption patterns in the Australian population. Methods: A nut-specific database was expanded […]
Health professionals’ knowledge, views and advice on diet and dental health: a survey of UK and Ireland dietitians and dentists.
Background: Oral health is affected by dietary practices and may impact quality of life. Collaboration between dietetics and dental professionals for oral health promotion and disease prevention is recommended. The present study aimed to determine the knowledge and practice of dentists and dietitians on diet and dental health. Methods: The study comprised a cross-sectional online questionnaire, which […]

Diet and the risk of unipolar depression in adults: systematic review of cohort studies
The effect of the addition of daily fruit and nut bars to diet on weight; and cardiac risk profile; in overweight adults
Background: The frequency of unhealthful snacking has increased dramatically over the last three decades. Fruits and nuts have been shown to have positive health effects. No study has investigated the aggregate effects of various fruits combined with nuts in the form of snack bars on cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this randomised trial was […]
The effect of including a conventional snack (cereal bar) and a nonconventional snack (almonds) on hunger; eating frequency; dietary intake and body weight
BACKGROUND: With the increasing prevalence of being overweight and obesity; dietary strategies to curb hunger levels and increase satiety at lower energy intakes are sought. The frequency of eating and type of snack may influence total energy intake. The present study aimed to assess the impact of providing either a conventional snack (cereal bar) or […]
Acute effect of nut consumption on plasma total polyphenols; antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation
BACKGROUND: Nuts have been shown to have beneficial effects on human health due to the healthy fat content; however; the effect of antioxidants (i.e. polyphenols) in nuts have not been fully investigated. The present study aimed to assess the immediate effect of a polyphenol-rich meal (75% of energy from nuts: walnuts or almonds) and a […]
