FODMAP Consumption by Adults from the French Population-Based NutriNet-Sant é Cohort
ConclusionsFODMAP consumption by a large sample of adults from the general population is ∼19 g/d, with half of the population having a FODMAP intake>16 g/d.This trial was registered atwww.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03335644. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Adaptations Supporting Plasma Methionine on a Limited-Methionine, High-Cystine Diet Alter the Canine Plasma Metabolome Consistent with Interventions that Extend Life Span in Other Species
ConclusionsChanges in the plasma metabolome were consistent with reported adaptations to support Met-dependent activities. We propose that feeding a limited-Met, high-Cys diet using the estimated mean Met requirement in adult Labrador retrievers alters regulation of the Met cycle, thereby altering metabolism, similar to interventions that extend life span.

Brown Rice Inhibits Development of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Obese Zucker (fa/fa) Rats by Increasing Lipid Oxidation Via Activation of Retinoic Acid Synthesis
ConclusionsBrown rice prevented development of NAFLD in obese Zucker (fa/fa) rats. The beneficial effects of pregelatinized rice on NAFLD could be manifested as increased fatty acid oxidation and VLDL secretion, which are regulated by RA signaling. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Infant and Toddler Responses to Bitter-Tasting Novel Vegetables: Findings from the Good Tastes Study
ConclusionsOur findings support that there may be a sensitive period, during the early phase of complementary feeding, to improve success of introducing a novel, bitter, more difficult-to-like food. When low levels of sugar or salt were added, no advantage of bitterness reduction was observed. This study has been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT04549233. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

NAD+-Precursor Supplementation With L-Tryptophan, Nicotinic Acid, and Nicotinamide Does Not Affect Mitochondrial Function or Skeletal Muscle Function in Physically Compromised Older Adults
ConclusionsOur findings are consistent with previous findings on NAD+ efficacy in humans, and we show in community-dwelling, older adults with impaired physical function that NAD+-precursor supplementation through L-tryptophan, nicotinic acid, and nicotinamide does not improve mitochondrial or skeletal muscle function. This study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03310034. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Plasma Metabolomic Signatures of Healthy Dietary Patterns in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study
ConclusionsWe identified many metabolites associated with healthy dietary patterns, indicative of food consumption. If replicated, these metabolites may be considered biomarkers of healthy dietary patterns in patients with CKD. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Development of Food Pattern Recommendations for Infants and Toddlers 6 –24 Months of Age to Support the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020–2025
ConclusionsIt is challenging to meet all nutrient needs during these age intervals. Added sugars should be avoided for infants and toddlers<2 y of age. Further work is needed to1) establish a reference human milk composition profile,2) update and strengthen the DRI values for these age groups, and3) use optimization modeling, in combination with FPM, to identify combinations of foods that meet all nutritional goals.

Use of the DELTA Model to Understand the Food System and Global Nutrition
ConclusionsNutrient adequacy must be at the forefront of the sustainable food system debate. The DELTA Model was designed for both experts and nonexperts to inform this debate as to what may be possible, practical, and optimal for our food system. The model results strongly suggest that both plant and animal foods are necessary to achieve global nutrition. The model is freely available for public use so that anyone can explore current and simulated global food systems. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)

Avocado Consumption, Abdominal Adiposity, and Oral Glucose Tolerance Among Persons with Overweight and Obesity
ConclusionsDaily consumption of 1 fresh Hass avocado changed abdominal adiposity distribution among females but did not facilitate improvements in peripheral insulin sensitivity or β-cell function among adults with overweight and obesity.This study was registered atclinicaltrials.gov as NCT02740439.

High Dietary Iron Has a Greater Impact on Brain Iron Homeostasis and Cognitive Function in Old Compared with Young C57BL/6J Male Mice
ConclusionsHigh dietary iron induced cognitive defects in old mice but not young mice, suggesting that elderly people should avoid consuming abnormally high concentrations of iron. (Source: Journal of Nutrition)
