Summary: This study compared the macronutrient intake and blood lipid profile of two different population-based cohorts to investigate the impact on 6-year-old children's health. The results showed that a lower intake of saturated and trans fatty acids, replaced by unsaturated fatty acids, may contribute to improved lipid profiles in healthy children.

Summary: This manuscript discusses the methodological, operational, and quality control aspects of assessing dietary intake in children under five years of age in the Brazilian National Survey on Child Nutrition (ENANI-2019). Innovative methods and materials were developed to address knowledge gaps on dietary intake in children under five, with the aim of updating food and nutrition guidelines for this age group in Brazil.

Summary: Genetic variants are more closely associated with individual preferences for coffee taste than with bitter taste perception, contradicting previous hypotheses. Taste preferences and the physiological effects of caffeine are intertwined in a way that is challenging to differentiate, potentially representing conditioned taste preferences.

Summary: This study used linear programming models to identify required dietary modifications to achieve nutritional adequacy without exceeding the acceptable daily intake for pesticides. The results showed that increasing intake of fresh foods may lead to higher pesticide intakes, but this increase was not considered a health concern for consumers.

Summary: The dietary intake of acrylamide is a global health concern, with studies showing that children have higher intake levels compared to adults. Research from Europe and Asia generally estimates lower acrylamide intake in diets compared to studies from the USA, highlighting the potential for reduced exposure among certain populations.

Summary: Item response theory (IRT) is a method used to provide probabilistic model-based measurements in psychology. This study developed a food-based diet quality scale for Brazilian schoolchildren using IRT and found that around 60% of the children had low diet quality scores. The scale can have implications for measuring dietary habits in other populations with precision.

Summary: Studies have found significant disparities in bioactive compound consumption across populations depending on their geographic origin. The aim of this research was to estimate the intake of bioactive compounds in different regions of Brazil and identify the major contributors. The study analyzed data from the National Dietary Survey 2017-2018, including food intake information from 46,164 individuals aged ≥10 years. The results showed variations in the intake of polyphenols and carotenoids across different regions, with the South having higher polyphenol intake and the Midwest having higher carotenoid intake. Tea and coffee were the main contributors to polyphenol intake in different regions, while acai, caja juice, mango, and corn were important sources of carotenoid intake in specific regions. The findings highlight the potential of food plants in developing marketable products and increasing bioactive compound intake.

Summary: The study assessed the adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet among the Brazilian population and found low overall adherence. Women, the elderly, overweight/obese individuals, those with higher incomes, and those living in urban areas had higher scores in adherence.

Summary: This study found that coffee melanoidins with molecular weights of 5-10 kDa and >50 kDa have high affinity for coffee aroma compounds. The presence of aromatic residues in the form of hydroxycinnamic acids plays a crucial role in the non-covalent interactions with odorants.

Summary: A quantitative H-1 NMR-based approach was established for direct and noninvasive analysis of molecular interactions between key coffee odorants and high-molecular-weight melanoidin polymers, distinguishing between different types of interactions and evaluating the temperature influence on these interactions. Human sensory experiments showed a reduction in roasty/sulfury aroma notes and an increase in sweetish/caramel-like flavor in HMW material and a coffee aroma reconstitution model.

Summary: The study identified two major dietary patterns among adolescents, namely a low-mixed diet and a high-mixed diet. Boys were more likely to consume a low-mixed diet than girls. Adolescents with lower education levels and from marginalized social classes were also more likely to consume a low-mixed diet.

Summary: The study found that the sugar content in market beverages in Beijing was generally high, especially in fruit/vegetable juices and beverages. The main sources of sugar intake from beverages among students were fruit/vegetable juices and beverages, protein beverages, and carbonated beverages. Boys, older students, and rural students had higher sugar intake from beverages.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the identification of energy intake underreporters using different predictive equations and instruments to collect dietary data. The results showed a low prevalence of underreported energy intake among the self-report-based dietary data collection methods, with a high agreement of energy intake between GloboDiet and Brasil-Nutri.

Summary: The study assessed the total usual nutrient intakes among 506 adults in Brasilia, Brazil, and found that users of dietary supplements had significantly higher total mean dietary intake compared to non-users. Supplement use increased nutrient intakes and decreased prevalence of inadequacy, with only a small portion of the population exceeding the Tolerable Upper Intake Level. There was a significant interaction between physical activity and BMI categories with supplement use.

Summary: This study investigated the use of dietary supplements (DS) among adults in Brasilia, Brazil, and examined the relationship between sports dietary supplements (SDS) use and sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics, body mass index, and total daily physical activity (PA). The results showed that SDS use was more common among individuals with higher socioeconomic status, younger age, and male gender, and most SDS users were physically inactive.

Summary: The effects of coffee on glucose metabolism in obesity are controversial. Results showed that chronic coffee consumption did not ameliorate the negative effects on glucose metabolism induced by a high-fat diet, but it did improve antioxidant and anti-inflammatory responses, increase insulin secretion, and promote muscle glycogen synthesis.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the dietary intake and physical activity of patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and their association with weight loss and body composition. The results showed that the participants' dietary intake did not meet the guidelines, and a dietary pattern rich in energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat, and sodium appeared to decrease total weight loss, while protein intake appeared to increase fat-free mass. Physical activity was not associated with total weight loss or fat-free mass.

Summary: Assessing the usual food intake of para-athletes is important for understanding their nutrient intakes and potential nutritional status. This study evaluated the dietary intake of macronutrients and food groups of para-athletes and compared the data between team and individual sport para-athletes. The results showed that para-athletes had a low-carbohydrate, adequate protein, high-fat diet, and there was no significant difference in macronutrient intake distribution between team sport and individual sport para-athletes. However, there was a higher prevalence of inadequate fruit and vegetable servings in team sport para-athletes compared to individual sport para-athletes. Overall, para-athletes generally consumed an imbalanced diet, which is concerning considering their additional physiological demands and specific training needs.

Summary: This study compared two diet quality indexes among Brazilian parathletes and found that most athletes had diets in need of modification or of moderate risk. Athletes involved in individual sports and those receiving nutritional support had higher scores on both indexes. The initial 24 h recall combined with the Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised was sufficient to evaluate the diet quality of these athletes, while the Global Diet Quality Score was necessary to assess usual dietary intake. The diet quality of parathletes reached an intermediate level.
