Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Nutrition as Prevention for Improved Cancer Health Outcomes (Day 3)
As many as 80% of people with cancer experience malnutrition, but nutritional screening and interventions aren't standard parts of outpatient cancer care in the United States. More research is needed to inform development of guidelines and services for the prevention and treatment of cancer-associated malnutrition. Workshop speakers will discuss the current scientific evidence on how nutritional interventions affect cancer health outcomes. After the workshop, an independent panel will draft a report on evidence gaps and identify priorities for future research.For more information go tohttps://prevention.nih.gov/P2P-Nutriti...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: A neural basis behind the hardships of dieting
Maintaining healthy body weight is increasingly difficult in our obesogenic environment. Dieting efforts are often overpowered by the internal drive to consume energy-dense foods.

Using a passive devaluation paradigm, we found that exposure to high-fat diet (HFD) suppresses the intake of nutritionally balanced standard chow diet (SD) irrespective of age, sex, body mass accrual and functional leptin or melanocortin-4 receptor signaling. Longitudinal recordin...
