HEALTH NEWS   ·         Personalized nutrition more effective than general diet advice, study finds ·         Vitamin K1 may improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels for pre-diabetics   ·         Frequent salting of food increases the risk of stomach cancer ·         A 30-year US study links ultra-processed food to higher risk of early death ·         Mechanism outlined by which inadequate vitamin E can cause brain damage ·         About 90% of US adults are on the way to heart disease, study suggests       Personalized nutrition more effective than general diet advice, study finds King's College London, May 8, 2024 (Medical Xpress) Personalized nutrition approaches can improve several key health metrics, including lower weight, lower cholesterol, better mood, improved gut health, lower heart disease risk, and better metabolic health. Improvements for those following personalized guidance were also greater in some areas than for those following current, generalized government advice. In this study, researchers wanted to see if a personalized diet plan, tailored to an individual's biology, lifestyle, and health history, would have a greater impact than generic nutrition advice such as avoiding red meat. 347 Americans took part in the study, with researchers comparing the effects of following an 18-week personalized program to generic US government-issued nutrition advice. While both groups improved their health overall, participants on the personalized diet plan lost more weight than the control group and lowered their triglyceride levels more—decreasing their risk of heart disease. Participants following the personalized diet plan were also twice as likely to report improved mood, twice as likely to feel less hungry, and more than four times more likely to report better sleep quality and energy levels compared with the control group.   Vitamin K1 may improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar levels for pre-diabetics Ahvaz Jundishapur University (Iran), May 6, 2024 (Nutraingredients) Supplements containing vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) may improve glycemic status and insulin sensitivity for premenopausal and pre-diabetic women, says a new study. “To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first one that investigated the effects of vitamin K1 supplementation on the glycemic status and insulin sensitivity via different forms of [osteocalcin] in pre-diabetic women,” wrote the researchers in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition . Osteocalcin (cOC) is a vitamin K-dependent protein. Without adequate vitamin K, the osteocalcin remains inactive (uncarboxylated osteocalcin, ucOC), and thus not effective. The new study used phylloquinone at a daily dose of 1,000 micrograms for four weeks. Eighty-two pre-diabetic and pre-menopausal women participated in the study and were randomly assigned to either the vitamin K1 group or placebo. Results showed that cOC levels increased as a result of K1 supplementation, while ucOC levels decreased, compared with placebo. In addition, results of the two hour post-oral glucose tolerance test showed improvements in both glucose and insulin levels in the K1 group, compared with placebo. Data from the insulin sensitivity index (ISI) showed increases in the K1 group, they added.    Frequent salting of food increases the risk of stomach cancer Medical University of Vienna (Austria), May 8, 2024 (Eurekalert) In Asian countries, where high-salt foods are popular, the link between high salt consumption and stomach cancer has already been proven. A long-term study by MedUni Vienna has now shown for the first time that this risk is also reflected in the cancer statistics in Europe. As the analysis recently published in the specialist journal Gastric Cancer shows, people who frequently add salt to their food are around 40 per cent more likely to develop stomach cancer than those who do not use the salt shaker at the table. Data from more than 470,000 adults fro

The study included 32 six-week-old rats that were bred to develop obesity and diabetes and 32 lean rats of the same age.  Obese rats that received melatonin gained less weight and had less visceral fat (central obesity) compared with obese untreated animals at the end of the 12-week period. Melatonin-treated rats also had less obesity-induced muscle fiber atrophy and showed increased mitochondrial activity, which may contribute to the decrease in weight gain observed in these animals. Additional research showed that melatonin increased a thermogenic response to cold exposure, which helps burn fat.  "During the day, it is good to expose yourself to natural light, do adequate physical activity, choose low-calorie diets loaded with unprocessed foods and replace these additives with thermogenic spices and herbs, avoid eating between meals, do not wear insulating clothing and keep the heating at a comfortable and cool temperature of around 17⁰ C, as well as showering with cool water," senior author Ahmad Agil of the University of Granada School of Medicine recommended.   Dietary treatment more effective than medicines in IBS University of Gothenburg (Sweden), April 18, 2024 (Eurekalert)  Dietary treatment is more effective than medications in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These are the findings of a study conducted at the University of Gothenburg. With dietary adjustments, more than seven out of ten patients had significantly reduced symptoms.  The current study, published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, compared three treatments: two dietary and one based on use of medications. The participants were adult patients with severe or moderate IBS symptoms at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg. The first group was given traditional IBS dietary advice, focusing on eating behavior combined with low intake of fermentable carbohydrates, known as FODMAPs. These include e.g. products with lactose, legumes, onions, and grains, which ferment in the colon and can cause pain in IBS. The second group received a dietary treatment low in carbohydrates and proportionally high in protein and fat. In the third group, the best possible medication was given based on the patient's most troublesome IBS symptoms. Of those who received traditional IBS dietary advice and low content of FODMAPs, 76% had significantly reduced symptoms. In the group receiving low carbohydrates and high protein and fat, the proportion was 71%, and in the medication group 58%.     New England seafood loaded with more toxic ‘forever chemicals’ than realized, especially shrimp and lobster   Dartmouth College, April 17, 2024 (Study Finds) A new study out of Dartmouth College suggests that seafood from succulent lobster to flaky cod may come with an unseen risk: exposure to a class of persistent, man-made toxins known as PFAS.

New study shows it might help weight loss Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (Lebanon), March 13, 2024   An experimental study, released today, looks into whether apple cider vinegar could be effective for weight loss, reduce blood glucose levels and reduce blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides). A double-blinded, randomized, clinical trial in a group of overweight and obese young people aged from 12–25 years suggest it could reduce all three—but it might not be as simple as downing an apple cider vinegar drink a day. The participants were instructed to consume either 5, 10 or 15ml of apple cider vinegar diluted into 250ml of water each morning before they ate anything for 12 weeks. A control group consumed an inactive drink (a placebo) made (from lactic acid added to water) to look and taste the same. After a period of three months apple cider vinegar consumption was linked with significant falls in body weight and body mass index (BMI). On average, those who drank apple cider vinegar during that period lost 6–8kg in weight and reduced their BMI by 2.7–3 points, depending on the dose. They also showed significant decreases in the waist and hip circumference. The authors also report significant decreases in levels of blood glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol in the apple cider groups. While the study appears promising, there are also reasons for caution. The study participants were aged from 12 to 25, so we can't say whether the results could apply to everyone.   Food Additive in Pizza, Pancakes Linked to Lower Sperm Counts University of Kentucky, March 11, 2024 An ingredient commonly found in many baked goods and processed foods — including school lunches — may cause oxidative stress, DNA damage and decreased testosterone levels and sperm counts in male mammals. Sodium aluminum phosphate is an additive used in food products as an emulsifying agent, leavening acid and stabilizer. It is a white, odorless solid slightly soluble in water. The widespread use of sodium aluminum phosphate in everyday food products and commercially baked goods such as cakes, muffins and biscuits, and self-rising flours and baking powders. It is also used in processed cheeses to improve texture and melting properties. A peer-reviewed scientific literature on aluminum reproductive toxicity by Robert A. Yokel, Ph.D., published in Critical Reviews in Toxicology found aluminum exposure can lead to adverse reproductive outcomes in male and female mammals. Yokel’s analysis revealed that “male reproductive endpoints were significantly affected after exposure to lower levels of Al [aluminum] than females.” In both male and female mice and rats, increased aluminum intake resulted in higher concentrations of the metal in the fetus, placenta and testes.   Ramadan fasting may protect patients with heart problems, say researchers University of Sharjah (United Arab Emirates) & University of Utah, March 13, 2024 Those observing Ramadan may have their cholesterol, other lipids, and inflammatory markers in their blood reduced. This is the conclusion of a group of scientists examining the model of Ramadan Intermittent Fasting (RIF) in overweight and obese people. "RIF is associated with improvements in plasma sphingosine, sphinganine sphingomyelin, and dihydrosphingomyelin lipid species," the scientists write in their study published in Scientific Reports. RIF is a special type of intermittent fa
