Summary: This study investigated popular diet patterns among adults in the United States and found that they are increasingly following restrictive diet patterns. The effects of targeted food substitutions on the intake of different food groups varied across diet patterns. However, using substitution approaches may help improve adherence to dietary guidelines.

Summary: This study found that Camellia seed oil can improve dyslipidemia and lipid accumulation in mice fed a high-fat diet through the reorganization of gut microbiota. Camellia oil supplementation regulates the composition and functional profiling of gut microbiota, increases the abundance of beneficial bacteria, and reduces lipid levels in serum and liver. Furthermore, Camellia oil supplementation inhibits the mTOR signaling pathway.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of partially replacing dietary fat with krill oil (KO) or coconut oil (CO) on dyslipidemia and lipid metabolism in rats fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Results showed that rats fed with KO and CO had lower levels of serum lipids and aspartate aminotransferases, as well as reduced hepatic histological scores and hepatic triglyceride (TG) content compared to the HFD group. Furthermore, the adipocyte size in the epididymal white adipose tissues (EAT) was reduced in the HFD + KO and HFD + CO groups after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment.

Summary: This study compared the dietary patterns of individuals following LCHF, vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous diets. The results showed that compared to other groups, the LCHF group had higher intakes of saturated fats, cholesterol, and animal proteins, while the intakes of sugars and dietary fibers were lower. The levels of total and LDL cholesterol were significantly higher in the LCHF group. Thus, it is recommended to select healthy fat sources, increase dietary fiber intake, and partially replace animal sources with plant sources in the LCHF diet.

Summary: Iodine deficiency is a worldwide issue affecting 2 billion people, with pregnant women at high risk. While salt iodination programs have been successful, other issues such as salt restriction and processed food consumption still contribute to iodine deficiency.

Summary: Maternal dietary fat and vegetable substitution can have significant effects on placental and fetal growth as well as fetal brain gene expression. The findings suggest that vegetable supplementation may protect against the negative impacts of a high-fat diet on fetal development.

Summary: The consumption of diets rich in saturated fats is associated with higher mortality. Adopting healthy habits, such as adhering to a Mediterranean diet, has been shown to have a preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases and dyslipidemia. However, the effects of an suboptimal diet on brain function and structure are still poorly understood.

Summary: The study found that individuals with different dietary habits showed variations in consumption frequency of certain foods, with omnivores and pescatarians consuming more sweets and dairy products, while vegans and vegetarians consumed more legumes and nuts. Body composition analysis revealed that vegetarians had higher skeletal muscle mass and mineral content compared to omnivores and pescatarians.

Summary: Mothers who adhere to a vegetarian diet show higher knowledge levels on complementary feeding for infants older than six months compared to those following a traditional diet. Mothers with a traditional diet are more likely to provide a higher than recommended number of daily meals for their children.

Summary: This systematic review examined the association between a vegetarian diet and mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety, and stress. The results from 13 publications were analyzed, including four cohort studies and nine cross-sectional studies. The findings suggest that there is no significant association between a vegetarian diet and depression or anxiety. However, due to insufficient data, the relationship with stress could not be determined. Further cohort studies are needed to explore the effects of a vegetarian diet on mental health outcomes.

Summary: Plant-based diets are gaining popularity worldwide due to their potential in reducing ecological footprint and preventing chronic diseases. While beneficial for adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the effects on CKD progression and children are still controversial and lack evidence.

Summary: Ether-phospholipids in sea urchins, particularly PE-P and PC-O, have potential lipid-regulating effects in high-fat-induced atherosclerotic hamsters. PE-P is more effective than PC-O in decreasing total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol concentrations in serum. These lipid effects may be attributed to modulation of lipid metabolism and regulation of gene expression.

Summary: This study investigated the composition of gut microbiota in Brazilian colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) patients compared with a control population. The results showed that CRC patients had increased alpha diversity, higher percentage of Prevotella genus, and decreased proportion of Megamonas and Ruminococcus. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii was associated with a better prognosis in early stages of CRC, while Fusobacterium nucleatum was identified as an important marker of colorectal carcinogenesis and tumor aggressiveness.
