Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpidemiological studies on the potential health effects of dietary polyamines are scarce.The present study aimed to estimate habitual intake of polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) and examine whether spermidine intake is inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in a population-based cohort study in Japan. The study included 13,355 men and 15,724 women aged 35 years and older. Diet was assessed via a validated food-frequency questionnaire at the baseline in 1992. The intake of polyamines was estim...

Macauba ( < em > Acrocomia aculeata < /em > ) pulp oil has the potential to enhance the intestinal barrier morphology, goblet cell proliferation and gut microbiota composition in mice fed a high-fat diet
Br J Nutr. 2023 Nov 13:1-27. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002623. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMacauba (Acrocomia aculeata) is a palm tree native from Brazil, who pulp is rich in oil that has a high content of oleic acid and carotenoids. Macauba pulp oil can bring health benefits due to its bioactive compounds, however, its effects on gut health are unknown. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of macauba pulp oil in the intestinal health in mice fed a high-fat diet. Male C57BL1/6 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (10 animals/group): control diet (CD), high-fat diet (HF) and high-fat diet with 4%...

Phytosterol and phytostanol mediated epigenetic changes in cancer and other non-communicable diseases: A systematic review
Br J Nutr. 2023 Nov 13:1-27. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002532. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhytosterols/phytostanols are bioactive compounds found in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds and added to a range of commercial food products. Consumption of phytosterols/phytostanols reduces levels of circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a causative biomarker of cardiovascular disease, and is linked to a reduced risk of some cancers. Individuals who consume phytosterols/phytostanols in their diet may do so for many years as part of a non-pharmacological route to lower cholesterol or as part of a healthy diet. However, the ...

Association between ultra-processed food and flavonoid intakes in a nationally representative sample of the US population
Br J Nutr. 2023 Nov 8:1-26. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002568. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConsumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) has been associated with several chronic diseases and poor diet quality. It is reasonable to speculate that the consumption of UPF negatively associates with flavonoid dietary intake; however, this assumption has not been previously examined. The present study aims to assess association between the dietary contribution of UPF and flavonoid intake in the US population aged 0 years and above. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of dietary data collected by 24-h recalls from 7 640 participant...

Energy, protein and iron densities of dabi teff-field pea-based optimized novel complementary flour and its contribution to daily energy and nutrients demand by 6-23 months old children
Br J Nutr. 2023 Nov 8:1-41. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002581. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInadequate intake of age-specific energy and nutrients is among the prime immediate causes of child malnutrition. Thus, this study aimed to determine the energy, protein and iron densities of pre-processed dabi teff-field pea-based optimized novel complementary flour and its contribution to daily energy and nutrient demand by 6-8 months, 9-11 and 12-23 months old children. The optimal formula at overall optimization was identified to be 34.66% dabi teff, 25% barley, 15% oats, 15.34% field pea, 5% linseed and 5% maize with response val...

Development and validation of an occurrence-based healthy dietary diversity (ORCHID) score easy to operationalize in dietary prevention interventions in older adults: a French study
This study aimed to develop an occurrence-based healthy dietary diversity (ORCHID) score easy to implement in the field and to validate it using dietary data from older participants in the latest French food consumption survey (INCA3).The ORCHID score was made of several components representing the consumption occurrences of 20 food groups, in line with French dietary guidelines. The score was then validated using dietary data (namely three 24-hour recalls and a Food Propensity Questionnaire) from 696 participants aged 60 years and over in the INCA3 survey. Score validity was evaluated by describing the association of the ...
