Summary: Disjoining pressure, discovered by Derjaguin in the 1930s, explains the difference between the pressure of a confined fluid and the pressure in bulk. Recent studies reveal that disjoining pressure is the cause of distinct surface tensions for strongly confined fluids. This research introduces the concept of a disjoining chemical potential, advancing our understanding of nanoscale thermodynamics and proposing experimental verifications. Ensemble-dependence is a key characteristic of thermodynamics in small systems, and this work demonstrates that integral surface tension is ensemble-dependent while differential surface tension is not.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that exposure to different portion sizes can influence portion alterations in future meals. This study aimed to explore whether tableware sizes can also affect portion size perception and eating behavior. The results revealed significant changes in post-meal satiety and energy intake for participants served with small or large jars compared to medium-sized jars. While small tableware initially reduced energy intake, it led to increased intake at the following meal and overall daily energy intake. These findings suggest that small tableware may not be an effective long-term solution for addressing overeating and related health issues.

Summary: This paper proposes a method to classify food types and estimate meal intake amounts using a deep learning object detection network. The food types and regions are detected through Mask R-CNN. The post-meal image is corrected to match the capturing environment of the pre-meal image. The 3D shape of the food is determined based on its type, and the meal intake amount is estimated by comparing the food volume in pre- and post-meal images. Simulation results show high accuracy in food classification and region detection, with accuracies up to 97.57% and 93.6%, respectively.

Summary: The presence of familiar others significantly influences food intake, with individuals eating more when dining with friends or family than when eating alone. Anticipating social interaction alone is enough to lead to choosing larger meal portions, even when a person is dining alone. Adult women tend to serve themselves larger portions when eating socially compared to when eating alone, indicating that social influences extend beyond the specific eating context.

Summary: This study assessed the effectiveness of five front-of-pack food labels in guiding consumers towards healthier choices. The Nutri-Score and Multiple Traffic Lights performed best in terms of improving consumers' understanding and simulated choice outcomes, while the Reference Intakes performed the weakest. The results indicate that front-of-pack labels that effectively guide consumers towards healthier options can also help steer them away from unhealthy choices.

Summary: The French NutriNet-Sante cohort has conducted 29 empirical studies on obesity, which revealed positive associations between obesity and dietary factors like preference for fatty food and ultra-processed foods, as well as certain psychological factors. Conversely, following an organic diet and having an optimistic mindset were inversely associated with obesity. These studies are crucial for understanding the etiology of obesity and developing prevention strategies.

Summary: High consumption of red and processed meat is associated with adverse outcomes such as colorectal cancer and overall global mortality. This study analyzed metabolomics data and conducted preclinical experiments to investigate the underlying mechanisms. The results suggest that microbiota-derived metabolites, such as indoxyl sulfate and cinnamoylglycine, are impacted by a high red meat diet, indicating a modification of the gut microbiota. These findings provide potential biomarkers for red meat consumption and help explain the adverse effects associated with high red and processed meat consumption.

Summary: Our understanding of the environmental pressures associated with dietary patterns has grown in the last decade, but little research has focused on the impacts of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and the specific stages in the food chain that contribute the most. This study examined the environmental pressures of diets based on UPF consumption using data from a representative sample of French adults. The results showed that UPF accounted for 19% of the diet, but contributed significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, water use, land use, and energy demand. The processing and packaging stages were found to have substantial environmental impacts in UPF-rich diets.

Summary: This study investigated the longitudinal associations of meal timing, number of eating occasions, and night-time fasting duration with the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The findings showed that individuals who habitually ate breakfast after 9 AM had a higher risk of developing T2D, while the timing of the last meal was not associated with T2D incidence. Each additional eating occasion was associated with a lower risk of T2D. The duration of night-time fasting was not associated with T2D incidence, except for those who had breakfast before 8 AM and fasted for more than 13 hours overnight. This study suggests that breakfast timing affects the incidence of T2D, and an early breakfast should be considered for T2D prevention.
