Frequency of Consumption of Whole Fruit, Not Fruit Juice, Is Associated with Reduced Prevalence of Obesity in Korean Adults
Fruit consumption is known to be beneficial to health. However, the health benefits of fruit juice are controversial due to its high sugar content.Eating Pleasure in a Sample of Obese Brazilian Women: A Qualitative Report of an Interdisciplinary Intervention Based on the Health at Every Size Approach
Health at Every Size (HAES) is a weight-neutral approach focused on promoting healthy behaviors in people with different body sizes and on enhancing pleasure derived from consuming food to achieve sustainable healthy eating outcomes. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies in the literature assessing the effects of the HAES approach on perceptions of eating pleasure.Dietary Energy Density in the Australian Adult Population from National Nutrition Surveys 1995 to 2012
It is hypothesized that the observed proliferation of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods globally is an important contributing factor to the development of the obesity epidemic. However, evidence that the population’s dietary energy density has increased is sparse. The World Cancer Research Fund recommends that dietary energy density be <1.25 kcal/g to prevent weight gain.Future Challenges and Present Ethical Considerations in the Use of Personalized Nutrition Based on Genetic Advice
Nutritional recommendations directed toward the general population are based mainly on estimated average nutrient requirements for a target group. These norms intend both to meet the needs of most individuals in a community and to prevent common diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular problems.1 Personalized nutrition guidelines are currently focused on people with metabolic disorders. Infants with inborn errors of metabolism (eg, maple syrup urine disease, phenylketonuria) or adults carrying specific genetic monogenic disorders (eg, familial hypercholesterolemia, hypolactasia) benefit from genetic-based dietary advice.Childhood Overweight/Obesity and Asthma: Is There a Link? A Systematic Review of Recent Epidemiologic Evidence
Asthma and overweight/obesity prevalence are both increasing worldwide. Overweight/obesity has been suggested as a risk factor for developing asthma. The aim of this review is to present and evaluate recent publications that help answer the question: “Is increased body weight (at least overweight status) related to asthma in children?” A systematic review of epidemiologic literature was carried out using the MEDLINE database. Epidemiologic studies on young human subjects (ie, infants, children, and adolescents), published in English during the period 2006-2011 were included.
