Polymorphisms in the choline transporter SLC44A1 are associated with reduced cognitive performance in normotypic but not prenatal alcohol-exposed children
CONCLUSIONS: Two functional alleles that increase vulnerability to choline deficiency, rs3199966(G) (Ser644Ala) and rs2771040(G) (3' untranslated region), are associated with worsened cognition in otherwise normotypic children. These alleles were previously associated with greater cognitive improvement in children with PAE who received supplemental choline. The findings endorse that choline benefits cognitive development in normotypic children and those with PAE.PMID:38176775 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.10.003 (Source: Am J Clin Nutr)

Estimation of 24-hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion among Chinese adults: a cross-sectional study from the China National Nutrition Survey
CONCLUSIONS: The first nationwide survey with 24-h urine collection confirmed that mean sodium intake in Chinese adults was more than twice the upper limit, whereas mean potassium intake was <60% of the lower limit, recommended by the World Health Organization. Urgent measures should be taken to reduce sodium intake and increase potassium intake in China.PMID:38176776 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.09.005 (Source: Am J Clin Nutr)

Post Hoc Analysis of Food Costs Associated with Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet, Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet, and Typical Baseline Diet of Individuals with Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Non-Randomized Crossover Trial with Meals Provided
CONCLUSIONS: In this short-term study with meals provided, the food costs of plant-predominant diets offering substantial metabolic health benefits were less than or similar to baseline food costs of adults with insulin-treated T2DM. Longer-term data without meal provision are needed for more generalizable results.CLINICALTRIALS: GOV ID NCT04048642: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04048642 TRIAL REGISTRATION: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04048642.PMID:38160802 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.12.023 (Source: Am J Clin Nutr)
