Summary: As dietary guidance shifts to chronic disease risk reduction, there is a need for more complex biology to support such guidance due to the multifactorial risk profile of disease and the population heterogeneity in the diet-disease relationship. Precision is crucial for dietary guidance to prevent deficiency and reduce chronic disease risk. This article provides a template for guiding population-based eating recommendations for reducing chronic diseases in heterogeneous populations.

Summary: As the world continues to face the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the outbreak and unabated spread of monkeypox raise concerns. Despite scientists believing that the monkeypox virus has low transmissibility, the alarming speed and extent of its spread may result in hospitalization or even death. The occurrence of unusual transmissions among people without travel history also highlights the potential for undetected spread, leading to concerns about our preparedness for another pandemic. Unlike COVID-19, there is a vaccine available for some protection against monkeypox.

Summary: This study examines the perspectives of various experts on the potential impact and the relative importance of policies aimed at reducing obesity in the UK. The reactions to the government's obesity strategy in July 2020 were mixed, with policy and advocacy stakeholders expressing frustration and commercial stakeholders expressing disappointment. There is a lack of trust in the government's ability to carry out the proposed plan, and stakeholders agree that a comprehensive, multi-sector approach is needed to effectively address the underlying drivers of obesity.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate premature adult mortality in India between 30 and 70 years old in 2017 using various data sources. Significant variations in mortality estimates were found among different sources for each state, with Bihar, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal accounting for half of the total deaths. The findings suggest the need for more reliable empirical data to address UNSDGs and improve mortality statistics programs in India.

Summary: Epidemiological trends indicate that diet plays a significant role in the etiopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases. High salt intake, an integral component of ultra-processed foods, has been associated with IBD prevalence. This review explores the link between dietary salt intake and IBD epidemiology, immune homeostasis imbalances, other inflammatory disorders, animal colitis models, and the underrecognized role of salt in diet modification-induced remission of IBD.
