Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the association between organic food consumption and the incidence of cancer among adults.
Introduction: Organic foods differ from traditional food in the methods in which they are produced. There is literature to suggest that they are associated with better health outcomes, including a lower incidence of some cancers. The association between organic food consumption and the incidence of cancer has not yet been synthesized.
Inclusion Criteria: Studies that compared organic food consumption to conventional food consumption, measured the incidence of cancer among adults, and captured disease incidence, such as prospective and retrospective cohort methodologies, will be included.
Methods: A comprehensive search strategy will be implemented to retrieve relevant studies from PubMed, CINAHL, LILACS, Embase, PsycINFO, Science.gov, Web of Science/Web of Knowledge, and Academic Search Premiere, as well as gray literature sources such as Google Scholar, DARE and Dissertation Abstracts International. The search parameters will include studies for which the full text in English is available, and studies dated 2009 or later, as this was the date of a previous systematic review on the association between organic food consumption and health outcomes that did not find any studies with cancer-related outcomes. Study screening, critical appraisal, and data extraction will be performed independently by pairs of reviewers among the authorship team. Data synthesis will include narrative review and meta-analysis if appropriate.
Systematic Review Registration Number: PROSPERO CRD42019126224.

Unlabelled: Most of the available tools to assess adherence to Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) were constructed for adults, having limited applicability to children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to validate a specific questionnaire to assess adherence to MedDiet in children aged 3 to 6 years (MED4CHILD questionnaire). The validation was performed in a baseline examination of a cohort of children who were recruited in schools in seven cities.

Bongkrekic acid (BA) toxin, produced by Burkholderia gladioli pathovar cocovenenans bacteria, has been implicated in foodborne illness outbreaks. BA poisoning is associated with rice noodle consumption; hence, this study investigated B. cocovenenans growth and BA production in wet rice noodles comprising varying starch ratios, starch types, rice nutrients, and saccharides.

Introduction: Contemporary dietary and nutritional transitions are commonplace, but difficult to study directly. In Brazil, and Latin America, this generalized process, leading to current obesity and malnutrition problems, started more than four decades ago. Although body weight and food availability are used to measure changes, not much information on food consumption and nutrition exist.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the possible bidirectional interrelations between fructose-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) and apical periodontitis (AP).
Methodology: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 7, per group): Control (C), AP, Fructose Consumption (FRUT) and Fructose Consumption and AP (FRUT+AP). The rats in groups C and AP received filtered water, while those in groups FRUT and FRUT+AP received a 20% fructose solution mixed with water to induce MS.
