Interactions between folate metabolism-related nutrients and polymorphisms on colorectal cancer risk: a case-control study in the Basque country
AbstractFolate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (FOCM) plays an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. Previous studies have assessed the role of folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (FOCM)-related gene-diet interaction in the aetiology of colorectal cancer (CRC), however, the results remained inconclusive. Thus, this study aimed to investigate dietary factors and genetic variants related to FOCM, as well as potential nutrient-gene and nutrient-lifestyle interactions, on CRC risk. This observational study included 229 patients diagnosed with CRC and 229 age- and sex-matched subjects as controls from a population-based...

Aligning front-of-pack labelling with dietary guidelines: including whole grains in the health star rating
ConclusionsThe addition of whole grains to the HSR algorithm improved the differentiation of refined and whole-grain items, and therefore better aligned with dietary guidelines. Holistic approaches to food guidance systems are required to provide consistent messaging and inform positive food choices. (Source: European Journal of Nutrition)

Protein intake and cancer: an umbrella review of systematic reviews for the evidence-based guideline of the German Nutrition Society
ConclusionThe present findings suggest that higher total protein intake may not be associated with the risk of colorectal and breast cancer, while conclusions on protein intake in relation to risks of other types of cancer are restricted due toinsufficient evidence.

Sex difference in the association of dietary fiber intake with visceral fat volume in Japanese adults
ConclusionWe observed a sex-specific association between dietary fiber intake and VFV in Japanese adults. This study suggests that efforts against visceral fat accumulation should take account of the source of dietary fiber. (Source: European Journal of Nutrition)

Macronutrient composition of plant-based diets and breast cancer risk: the E3N prospective cohort study
ConclusionThese results demonstrate a complex relationship between macronutrient composition, plant-based diet quality, and BC risk. Further research is needed to examine specific foods that may be driving these associations.RegistryThe protocol is registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03285230.

Meat consumption and the risk of hip fracture in women and men: two prospective Swedish cohort studies
ConclusionA modest linear association was found between a higher meat intake and the risk of hip fractures. Our results from the sub-cohorts further suggest that possible mechanisms linking meat intake and hip fracture risk may be related to the regulation of bone turnover, subclinical inflammation, and oxidative stress. Although estimates are modest, limiting red and processed meat intake in a healthy diet is advisable to prevent hip fractures. (Source: European Journal of Nutrition)
