Niacin for people with or without established cardiovascular disease
Heart attack and stroke are the most common causes of death, illness, disability and reduced quality of life in industrialised countries, and several Cochrane Reviews look at ways to prevent these cardiovascular events. A new review from June 2017 looks at the evidence for a B-vitamin called niacin. One of the reviews' authors, Matthias Briel from Basel Institute for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics in Switzerland, outlines the findings in this podcast.

Should universal distribution of high dose vitamin A to children cease?
Up to $500m a year could be put to better use by stopping ineffective and potentially harmful supplementation programmes in poorer countries, argues John Mason, professor emeritus at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

Should universal distribution of high dose vitamin A to children cease?
Up to $500m a year could be put to better use by stopping ineffective and potentially harmful supplementation programmes in poorer countries, argues John Mason, professor emeritus at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
However Keith West, professor of infant and child nutrition at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health disagrees, saying that such programmes have been proved to save millions of lives and should be withdrawn only when robust evidence permits.

"We don't really know the impact of these products on our health": Ultraprocessed food & cancer risk
A study published by The BMJ today reports a possible association between intake of highly processed ( “ultra-processed”) food in the diet and cancer.
Ultra-processed foods include packaged baked goods and snacks, fizzy drinks, sugary cereals, ready meals and reconstituted meat products - often containing high levels of sugar, fat, and salt, but lacking in vitamins and fibre. They are thought t o account for up to 50% of total daily energy intake in several developed countries.
Mathilde Touvier, senior researcher in nutritional epidemiology and Bernard Srour, pharmacist and PhD Candidate, both at INSERM, join us to ...

Homocysteine-lowering interventions (B-complex vitamin therapy) for preventing cardiovascular events
In August 2017, we published the third update of the Cochrane Review of homocysteine-lowering interventions with B complex vitamins for preventing cardiovascular disease. The review investigates their impact on this common cause of death and we asked one of the authors, Mark Dayer from Taunton and Somerset NHS Trust in the UK, to bring us up to date in this podcast.
