Micronutrients and bioactive compounds in the immunological pathways related to SARS-CoV-2 (adults and elderly).
The new coronavirus pandemic is affecting the entire world with more than 25 million confirmed cases in August 2020 according to the World Health Organization. It is known that the virus can affect several tissues and can progress to a respiratory failure in severe cases. To prevent the progression to this stage of the disease […]
Food Technology and Plant-Based Diets.
In the 1970s, the possibility was raised that global demands for protein would fall below the supply, and thus the concept of the “protein gap” evolved (1). This controversial theory prompted a search for new protein sources, and from this emerged a fungal protein, Fusarium venenatum, a mycoprotein that could be spun into many shapes and […]
Metabolic Syndrome Features and Excess Weight Were Inversely Associated with Nut Consumption after 1-Year Follow-Up in the PREDIMED-Plus Study.
Background. High nut consumption has been previously associated with decreased prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) regardless of race and dietary patterns. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess whether changes in nut consumption over a 1-y follow-up are associated with changes in features of MetS in a middle-aged and older Spanish population at […]
Replacing the consumption of red meat with other major dietary protein sources and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study.
Background. Greater consumption of red meat has been associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A decreased intake of red meat and simultaneous increased intake of other high-protein foods may be associated with a lower risk of T2DM. These analyses of specific food replacements for red meat may provide more accurate […]
Prospective study of a diabetes risk reduction diet and the risk of breast cancer.
Background. Hyperinsulinemia and higher insulin-like growth factors may increase breast cancer risk. We evaluated a diabetes risk reduction diet (DRRD) and breast cancer risk. Objectives. We prospectively evaluated the association between adherence to a DRRD and the incidence of breast cancer. Methods. We followed 88,739 women from the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS; 1980–2016) and 93,915 […]
Intake of Nuts or Nut Products Does Not Lead to Weight Gain, Independent of Dietary Substitution Instructions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials.
Several clinical interventions report that consuming nuts will not cause weight gain. However, it is unclear if the type of instructions provided for how to incorporate nuts into the diet impacts weight outcomes. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published nut-feeding trials with and without dietary substitution instructions to determine if there are […]
