Intake of ultra-processed food, dietary diversity and the risk of nutritional inadequacy among adults in India
CONCLUSION: Reformulating ultra-processed food to reduce fat, sugar, and salt, increase micronutrients and behaviour change communication strategies that promote dietary diversity will improve micronutrient adequacy and diet quality.PMID:37781767 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002112 (Source: Public Health Nutrition)

Characterization of Indian gut microbiome for B-vitamins production and its comparison with Chinese cohort
Br J Nutr. 2023 Oct 2:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002179. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe human gut microbiota can biosynthesize essential micronutrients such as B-vitamins, and is also known for its metabolic cooperative behaviour. The current study characterizes such B-vitamin biosynthesizers, their biosynthetic pathways, explores their prevalence and abundance, and examines how lifestyle or diet affects them in multiple Indian cohorts, and compares it with the Chinese cohort. To achieve this, publicly available fecal metagenome data of healthy individuals from multiple Indian (two urban and three tribal populations)...

Genomic insight and physiological characterization of thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus isolated from Yellowstone National Park
IntroductionAlicyclobacillus has been isolated from extreme environments such as hot springs, volcanoes, as well as pasteurized acidic beverages, because it can tolerate extreme temperatures and acidity. In our previous study, Alicyclobacillus was isolated during the enrichment of methane oxidizing bacteria from Yellowstone Hot Spring samples.MethodsPhysiological characterization and genomic exploration of two new Alicyclobacillus isolates, AL01A and AL05G, are the main focus of this study to identify their potential relationships with a thermoacidophilic methanotroph (Methylacidiphilum) isolated from the same hot spring s...

Role of Vitamins in Cardiovascular Health: Know Your Facts - Part 1
Curr Vasc Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 12. doi: 10.2174/1570161121666230912155548. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality world-wide, thus it is important to adopt preventive interventions. Observational data demonstrating CV benefits of vitamin supplements, advanced by self-proclaimed experts have resulted in ~50% of Americans reporting the use of multivitamins for health promotion; this practice has led to a multi-billion-dollar business of the multivitamin-industry. However, the data on the extensive use of multivitamins show no consistent benefit for CVD preve...
