Creatine supplementation research fails to support the theoretical basis for an effect on cognition: Evidence from a systematic review
Behav Brain Res. 2024 Apr 4;466:114982. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2024.114982. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCreatine supplementation has been put forward as a possible aid to cognition, particularly for vegans, vegetarians, the elderly, sleep deprived and hypoxic individuals. However, previous narrative reviews have only provided limited support for these claims. This is despite the fact that research has shown that creatine supplementation can induce increased brain concentrations of creatine, albeit to a limited extent. We carried out a systematic review to examine the current state of affairs. The review supported claims that...

GI highlights from the literature
Basic scienceHow ketogenic and vegan diets shape host immunity and gut microbial functions Link V, Subramanian P, Cheung F, et al. Differential peripheral immune signatures elicited by vegan versus ketogenic diets in humans. Nat Med 2024; 302: 560–572. doi: 10.1038/s41591-023-02761-2. Nutritional intervention has therapeutic potential against diseases directly or via the gut microbiota. However, the link between nutrition and the host immunity remains largely unknown. Link et al applied a multiomics approach including flow cytometry, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and metagenomic analysis to collectively acce...

Risk of Bone Fracture on Vegetarian and Vegan Diets
AbstractPurpose of ReviewBone fractures can have a devastating effect on health, especially in the elderly, undermining their independence for daily activities, and increasing the risk of comorbidities and mortality. Nutrition is a key factor in maintaining an optimal bone health across the lifespan. The number of people that choose to avoid meat or even all animal products is increasing globally, for a diversity of reasons. Properly planned vegetarian and vegan diets are widely recognized as a healthy dietary pattern, but the long-term impact of these diets on bone health and more specifically risk of bone fractures is le...

Plant Soup Formulations Show Cholinesterase Inhibition Potential in the Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease
CONCLUSION: The outcomes of our study should serve as a catalyst for further exploration of this important research domain. Our current research focuses on deeper insights into the potential of comprehensive meal options. Furthermore, the synergy/antagonism/non-interaction between respective soup ingredients as well as elements of individual soups' chemical composition is a very interesting topic currently under our intensive scientific investigation.PMID:38523524 | DOI:10.2174/0115672050306101240321050146 (Source: Current Alzheimer Research)

Planting the Seed for Blood Pressure Control: The Role of Plant-Based Nutrition in the Management of Hypertension
AbstractPurpose of ReviewHypertension results in significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare expenditures. Fortunately, it is largely preventable and treatable by implementing dietary interventions, though these remain underutilized. Here, we aim to explore the role of healthy dietary patterns in hypertension management and describe approaches for busy clinicians to address nutrition effectively and efficiently with patients.Recent FindingsDASH, Mediterranean, vegetarian, and vegan diets that include minimally processed, plant-based foods as core elements have consistently shown positive effects on hypertension. Recom...

Potential Micronutrient Deficiencies in the First 1000 Days of Life: The Pediatrician on the Side of the Weakest
This study is to examine potential micronutrient deficiencies and any need for supplementation in children following specific diet plans in the first 1000 days of life.RECENT FINDINGS: Optimal nutrition in the first 1000 days of life has a lifelong positive impact on child development. Specific intrauterine and perinatal factors, pathological conditions, and dietary restrictions can represent potential risk factors for micronutrient deficiencies in the first 1000 days of life, which can have negative systemic consequences. Preterm and low-birth-weight infants are intrinsically at risk because of immature body systems. Chil...
