  • Is It Past Time to Change Dietary Guidelines for Alcohol Use?

    Analysis reveals that previous studies demonstrating the health benefits of moderate alcohol drinking were of low quality and that the relatively few published studies meeting the minimal quality criteria to avoid this problem do not show significantly lower mortality risk for moderate alcohol drinkers.

  • CVD Risk from Ketogenic Diets

    A recent analysis of the UK Biobank data found that subjects on a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet had higher levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B, and an increase in incident major adverse cardiovascular events over a 12-year follow-up than subjects on a standard diet.

  • Is Weight Loss the Key to Heart Health?

    The second trial of semaglutide in obese patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, this one in people with type 2 diabetes, also has shown significant improvements in symptoms and exercise function with significantly fewer adverse effects than placebo-treated patients.

  • Does Calcium Intake Cause Cardiovascular Disease?

    A large population study of calcium intake at dinner vs. breakfast showed an increased risk of heart disease.

  • Lifestyle Interventions and HbA1c in Prediabetic Patients

    A comprehensive analysis of medical records shows that referral of patients with prediabetic risk factors to an intensive lifestyle change program results in significant improvements in critical cardiovascular risk factors, including hemoglobin A1c levels and obesity; these changes are more pronounced in men than in women.

  • Quality, not Quantity: Plant-Based Carbs Might Result in Less Weight Gain

  • Dyeing to Death: Examining the Risks of Red 40 and High-Fat Diets

    This study exploring colorectal cancer development reveals that Allura Red AC (Red 40), a synthetic dye prevalent in many American diets, causes significant deoxyribonucleic acid damage and colonic inflammation in mice, especially when combined with a high-fat diet.

  • Examining Microbiome Metabolites and Parkinson’s Disease

    A Mendelian randomization study shows that trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and its precursor metabolites are not associated with risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD) but have both positive and negative causal effects on some indicators of PD severity and progression.
