Different Food Sources of Fructose-Containing Sugars and Fasting Blood Uric Acid Levels: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Controlled Feeding Trials
ConclusionsFood source more than energy control appears to mediate the effects of fructose-containing sugars on uric acid. The available evidence provides reliable indications that SSBs increase and 100% fruit juice decreases uric acid levels. More high-quality trials of different food sources are needed. This trial was registered atclinicaltrials.gov as NCT02716870. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Zinc Supplements Taken with Food Increase Essential Fatty Acid Desaturation Indices in Adult Men Compared with Zinc Taken in the Fasted State
ConclusionsThese data demonstrate a lack of congruence between the effects of zinc supplements on PZC and EFA metabolism in response to whether a zinc supplement is taken with or without food. Additional research is needed to determine how absorbed zinc may be directed differently toward metabolic processes, when coabsorbed with food. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03619421. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Umbilical Cord Erythroferrone Is Inversely Associated with Hepcidin, but Does Not Capture the Most Variability in Iron Status of Neonates Born to Teens Carrying Singletons and Women Carrying Multiples
ConclusionsNeonates born to teens and women carrying multiples were able to produce ERFE in response to neonatal cord iron status and erythropoietic demand. ERFE, however, did not capture significant variance in newborn iron or Hb concentrations. In these newborns, cord hepcidin and the hepcidin:EPO ratio explained the most variance in iron status indicators at birth. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)
