Grading of Japanese Diet Intakes by 24-Hour Urine Analysis of Taurine and Soy Isoflavones in Relation to Cardiovascular Risks
In conclusion, the higher the J score, which corresponds to Japanese dietary habits, the lower the BMI and cholesterol levels, as well as mortality rate from coronary heart disease, but the higher the average life expectancy among the Japanese. However, these higher J scorings were associated with high-salt intake and high Na/K ratios; therefore, they contributed to high blood pressure and high mortality rate caused by stroke in Japan. These results indicate that low-salt intake should be recommended to the Japanese who are consuming seafood and soy regularly in order to maintain lower blood pressure and to extend healthy ...

The Association of Arsenic Metabolism with Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, and Diabetes: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiological Evidence
Conclusions: Population level of iAs% and DMA%, but not MMA%, were associated with arsenic exposure levels. Overall, study findings suggest that higher MMA% was associated with an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, while lower MMA% was associated with an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Additional population-based studies and experimental studies are needed to further evaluate and understand the role of arsenic exposure in arsenic metabolism and the role of arsenic metabolism in disease development. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP577 Received: 01 June 2016 Revised: 26 February 2017 Acce...

Mediterranean Diet Reduces Genetic Stroke Risk. Study
(HealthCastle.com) The so-called Mediterranean dietary pattern has long been associated with lower rates of many chronic diseases such as heart and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, over-weight and obesity and more. The diet tends to be rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fish and seafood, and pulses [chickpeas, lentils, dried peas and beans] which offer a lot of nutrients, nutrients that are often lacking in optimal amounts in North American diets as well as being rich in health promoting phyto-nutrients; but there’s likely much more to the story. read more
