Not all proteins have the same effect on bone health
A Tulane-led study found no consistent link between total or animal protein intake and bone quality, but white women eating more vegetable protein had higher volumetric bone mineral density. Higher protein substituted for fat was not tied to poor bone health.

Polyunsaturated fat linked to epithelial ovarian cancer
People eating the most polyunsaturated fat were 22% more likely to develop epithelial ovarian cancer than those eating the least. No link appeared for total, animal, plant, saturated or monounsaturated fat, cholesterol or fatty fish. The author points to omega-6 from vegetable oils.

Low type 2 diabetes mellitus risk linked to high fiber cereal breakfast
Among 4,116 UK children aged 9 to 10, those who skipped breakfast had higher fasting insulin, insulin resistance, HbA1c, glucose and urate than daily breakfast eaters, and high-fibre cereal eaters had the lowest insulin resistance. The authors say trials are still needed.

Baloian Farms now packs three to four sweet mini peppers with a sealed cup of fat-free ranch dip in a single-serving cup. The grower cites a survey in which 58% of consumers said they would buy such a product, and says using whole peppers gives a 21-day shelf life.

Sugar sweetened beverages linked to larger waist circumference
Drawing on 2,455 older children in the UK's Avon Longitudinal Study, researchers found those consuming the most sugar-sweetened beverages from age 10 to 13 had larger waist circumference, along with higher body mass index and total body fat mass.

Palmitate may lead to circadian dysregulation
A University of Toronto report in the American Journal of Physiology links high saturated fat intake to circadian dysregulation, obesity and type 2 diabetes, while polyunsaturated fats improved insulin sensitivity. The article argues palm oil is no safe swap for trans fat.

What to eat or not eat to lower breast cancer risk
A rundown of dietary factors the author says may affect breast cancer risk: keeping calories and body mass down, limiting high-glycemic diets and omega-6 oils, favoring olive, sunflower and safflower oil, and getting EPA and DHA from oily fish.

Pistachios Nutrition: Pistachios may help prevent diabetes mellitus
In a crossover trial, 54 people with prediabetes ate a diet with 57 grams of pistachios a day for four months and lowered fasting glucose, insulin and insulin resistance compared with the control diet, alongside gains in several cardiometabolic markers.

Instant noodles could be heart-breaking
Analysing 11,000 South Korean adults aged 19 to 64, researchers found women eating instant noodles twice a week or more were more likely to have metabolic syndrome, even when leaner and more active. Healthy eating did not offset it, and the link was weaker among men.

Children Are Eating More Fruit, Not More Vegetables
CDC's Vital Signs report found U.S. children ate 67% more whole fruit from 2003 to 2010 while vegetable intake held flat and juice fell 30%. Still, 60% fell short on fruit and 93% on vegetables; the agency urges child care and schools to serve produce more often.

Sufficient protein intake prevents sarcopenia, osteoporosis
In women aged 65 and older, those eating more than 1.2 g of protein per kilogram a day had significantly higher muscle, bone and fat mass, while low essential amino acid intake showed up in women with sarcopenia. The authors conclude adequate protein alone can benefit bone and lean mass.

Pulses good for your health
A review reports that pulses such as beans, peas and lentils supply protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, and that eating them can improve serum lipid profiles and affect blood pressure, platelet activity and inflammation. Their fiber also helps steady blood glucose and insulin in diabetes.

Processed red meat linked to high blood pressure
Following 44,616 French women from 1993 to 2008, researchers recorded 10,256 new hypertension cases and found those eating five or more servings of processed red meat a week were 17% more likely to develop it. Unprocessed red meat showed no such association.

Eating baked or broiled fish weekly boosts brain health, Pitt study says
Pitt researchers report that people who ate baked or broiled fish weekly had larger brain volumes in regions tied to memory and cognition. They found no relationship to omega-3 levels and conclude broader lifestyle factors, of which diet is one part, may be at work.
