Nut consumption and survival in stage III colon cancer patients: Results from CALGB 89803 (Alliance).

Background: Recent prospective cohort studies suggest states of energy excess and hyperinsulinemia, including type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, sedentary lifestyle, Western pattern diet, increased dietary glycemic load, high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, and elevated plasma C-peptide are each associated with an increased risk of colon cancer (CC) recurrence and mortality. Conversely, observational studies indicate that increasing […]

Sensory Quality Preservation of Coated Walnuts

The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory stability of coated walnuts during storage. Four walnut samples were prepared: uncoated (NC), and samples coated with carboxymethyl cellulose (NCMC), methyl cellulose (NMC), or whey protein (NPS). The samples were stored at room temperature for 210 d and were periodically removed from storage to perform a sensory descriptive analysis. A […]

Genome-wide association study and meta-analysis in multiple populations identifies new loci for peanut allergy and establishes C11orf30/EMSY as a genetic risk factor for food allergy.

BACKGROUND: Peanut allergy (PA) is a complex disease with both environmental and genetic risk factors. Previously, PA loci were identified in filaggrin (FLG) and HLA in candidate gene studies, and loci in HLA were identified in a genome-wide association study and meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate genetic susceptibility to PA. METHODS: Eight hundred fifty cases and 926 hyper-control subjects and more than 7.8 million genotyped and imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms […]
