Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Macronutrient Mineral Accumulation in Wheat ( L.) Grain.
Plants (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Genetics, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza 12613, Egypt.
The focus on increasing wheat ( L.) grain yield at the expense of grain quality and nutrient accumulation can lead to shortages in macronutrient minerals, which are dangerous for human health. This is important, especially in nations where bread wheat is used in most daily dietary regimens.

: To help consumers make healthier choices, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been charged with developing a front-of-package label (FOPL) to appear on US packaged foods and beverages. One option being explored is the use of "high-in" FOPLs for added sugar, sodium, and saturated fat using a threshold of ≥20% of the recommended daily value (%DV) per portion/serving size to define "high-in". While research has addressed what FOPL designs are most effective at visually communicating "high-in", less attention has been paid to the nutrient profile model (NPM) used to decide which products should receive these labels.

The Contribution of Free Sugars to Energy Intake in Mid to Late Childhood: Comparisons Between Nutrient and Food Group Intakes and Antecedents of Diets High and Low in Free Sugars.
Nutrients
December 2024
Centre for Academic Child Health, Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol, Canynge Hall, 39 Whatley Rd, Bristol BS8 2PS, UK.
High intakes of free sugars may have negative effects on health perhaps associated with their effect on nutrient and food group intakes. The primary aim of the study was to compare nutrient and food group intakes between children with habitual high or low intakes of free sugars to identify which foods could be targeted to improve the diets of children consuming excess free sugars. The secondary aim was to assess antecedents for a child being in the high free sugars group compared with the low to identify the age at which an intervention would be most effective.
