Information and information challenges
In collaboration with International Food Information Service (IFIS).In today ’s information landscape, finding information can feel, superficially, extremely easy.  Billions of research articles are published electronically.  Multiple tools are available to search for them.  But finding high-quality information can be surprisingly hard.Being adept at finding quality, relevant, scientific literature is therefore a fundamentally important skill in nutritional science.  Scientific literature is a main vehicle for researchers to disseminate, to share with the global community of nutritionists and nutrition students, thei...

Personalised Nutrition: What's the latest?
Each of us differs from others in obvious physical attributes such as gender, age and body size but also in respect of our individual responses to foods and nutrients. Until recently, those setting dietary requirements have addressed this problem of inter-individual variability by taking a probabilistic approach and e.g. estimating the amounts of energy and nutrients that will meet the needs of 97.5% of the population (Reference Nutrient Intakes).With today ’s focus on personalised, or precision, nutrition the ambition is to harness understanding of the factors that contribute to inter-individual variation in responses t...

Methodological considerations for studies in sport and exercise nutrition with women as participants
Data on eumenorrheic females is scarce and is often low to moderate quality, which is due to a number of reasons: (i) there is a shortage of specialist knowledge on female physiology, in particular endocrinology, in the sport and nutrition science community; (ii) until recently, there has been a reluctance to include female participants in research studies, due to the numerous adaptations, to experimental design, needed to incorporate female specific considerations, such as the menstrual cycle; (iii) there is no consensus on the terminology and methodological approaches needed to produce high-quality studies.  These issue...

Menopause and dietary implications
Menopause, defined as the complete cessation of menstrual periods, marks the end of the female reproductive life. With ageing of the population, it is estimated that 1.2 billion women around the world will be menopausal by the year 2030. Menopausal transition could be an opportunity to encourage dietary changes. Diet of premenopausal women differs to that of postmenopausal women, reflecting improved adherence to dietary guidelines in the latter. However, a healthy diet during the premenopausal years is also recommended, as diet may potentially influence the timing of menopause as well as the presence of menopausal symptoms...
