Following 6,137 men and 11,278 women who already had cardiovascular disease, researchers found those adhering most closely to a Mediterranean diet were about 19% less likely to die of any cause and 15% less likely to die of cardiovascular disease. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Vegan Diets Improve Thyroid Function
In the Adventist Health Study 2, 65,981 men and women reported their diets and any hypothyroidism diagnosis, and the vegan group reported fewer diagnoses than the omnivorous group. The findings appear in the journal Nutrients.

Plant-Based Diets Better for Weight Loss
Researchers put 63 overweight and obese adults on one of five diets for eight weeks, and those following the plant-based patterns lost the most weight. The team suggests such diets may work better because they skip portion control and calorie counting.

Vegan Diets Associated with Lower Weights - study
Using five years of data on 71,751 Adventist Health Study 2 participants, researchers found vegans had the lowest average BMI and the lowest obesity rate and consumed the most beta-carotene, fiber, potassium and magnesium. BMI and obesity rates rose as animal product intake increased.

Higher dietary acid load increases risk of diabetes ***
A Diabetologia study followed 66,485 French women for 14 years and recorded 1,372 new cases of type 2 diabetes, finding that a diet with higher overall acid load raised risk regardless of which individual foods produced that acid.

Fatty Diets Linked to Cancer and Early Death
Following 10,525 men and women in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study for 16 years, researchers reported that those eating more fat and sugar were four times more likely to develop gastrointestinal cancers and 53 percent more likely to die of them than those eating plant-based diets.

Intermittent fasting can extend your life span
A 1946 Journal of Nutrition study found rats fasted every third day lived about 20 percent longer if male and 15 percent longer if female, with no apparent growth retardation and delayed mammary tumors. Recent work reports further benefits of intermittent fasting.

Children Develop Ideas about "Good" and "Bad" Foods Early
Researchers asked 172 children aged 3 to 5 to sort foods as healthful or unhealthful, reporting in Appetite that most picked out healthful foods but struggled with unhealthful ones. The study did not test whether their views were accurate; the authors propose teaching nutrition from age 4.

Assessing the U.S. Population’s Sodium Intake
USDA's Automated Multiple Pass Method, checked against 24-hour urinary sodium in 524 volunteers aged 30 to 69, produced intake estimates that were 93 percent accurate in men and 90 percent in women. The estimates counted salt added in cooking but not at the table.

Caloric restriction boosts serum testosterone in obese men
Thirteen obese men with a median BMI of 43 followed an 800-calorie diet for 12 weeks, and their total serum testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin rose significantly. The authors credit better testicular function and less conversion of testosterone to estradiol in fat tissue.

Nutrition and the Risk of Alzheimer's Disease - review
A review reports antioxidants, B vitamins, polyphenols and polyunsaturated fats appear beneficial in Alzheimer's disease, and that fish, fruit, vegetables, coffee and light drinking are tied to lower risk, but notes many randomized trials contradict the epidemiological findings.

High protein diet results in weight loss in obese women
In a three-month randomized trial of 60 overweight and obese women, a high-protein diet cut weight by 6.1 percent against 3.9 percent on the standard energy-restricted diet, and waist circumference by 5.1 against 3.0 percent. Fasting glucose fell further on the control diet.

Breaking news: Could drinking sodium bicarbonate solution slow breast cancer invasion?
Mice bearing MDA-MB-231 breast tumors and given sodium bicarbonate drinking water had significantly fewer circulating tumor cells, and transient alkalinization cut cathepsin and MMP activity signals without changing CAIX expression, suggesting buffering tumor acidity may slow invasion.

PCRM Breaking Medical News : Diet Fuels Depression
Researchers followed 43,685 women in the Nurses' Health Study who were free of depression, for an average of 12 years, and found those eating an inflammatory diet high in red meat, fish, sodas and refined grains were 41 percent more likely to become depressed.

Dairy and carbohydrate diet linked to low hypertension risk
Analyzing 11,883 Korean adults, researchers identified traditional, dairy-and-carbohydrate and Western eating patterns. Those highest on the Western pattern had higher blood pressure, total cholesterol and triglycerides, and the Western diet was linked to hypertension risk.

Skipping breakfast, eating dinner late boost coronary heart disease risk
Among 26,902 American men aged 45 to 82 in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, those who skipped breakfast faced 27% higher risk of coronary heart disease than those who ate it, Harvard researchers report in Circulation.
Diet
High protein weight loss diets can cause bone loss
A Nutrition Reviews analysis by Julie Eisenstein and colleagues found eating protein at two to three times the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance can cause urinary calcium loss and predispose people to bone loss, and may raise kidney stone risk, particularly in people with diabetes.
Diet
When to eat matters to weight loss or weight gain
Overweight women with metabolic syndrome ate identical daily calories for 12 weeks, split differently. Those taking 700 calories at breakfast and 200 at dinner lost more weight and more waist, and cut glucose, insulin and triglycerides further, than the group eating 700 calories at dinner.
