Adherence to plant-rich diets remains low despite numerous health benefits accruing to such practices. We sought to distinguish college students who report high adherence to a plant-rich diet ("Sustainers") from those who are less successful ("Strivers"). Sustainers more strongly endorsed multiple ethical dietary motives and indicated stronger allegiance to their values compared to Strivers, who rated health reasons more highly. Sustainers scored better on seven factors relating to effective dietary goal pursuit. Results underscore the importance of motivational factors in the maintenance of plant-based eating.

Development of metabolic signatures of plant-rich dietary patterns using plant-derived metabolites.

Background: Diet is an important modifiable lifestyle factor for human health, and plant-rich dietary patterns are associated with lower risk of non-communicable diseases in numerous studies. However, objective assessment of plant-rich dietary exposure in nutritional epidemiology remains challenging.
Objectives: This study aimed to develop and evaluate metabolic signatures of the most widely used plant-rich dietary patterns using a targeted metabolomics method comprising 108 plant food metabolites.

Background: Plant-rich dietary patterns may protect against negative health outcomes among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), although aspects of plant-based diet quality have not been studied. This study aimed to examine associations between healthful and unhealthful plant-based dietary patterns with risk of all-cause mortality among CKD patients for the first time.
Methods: This prospective analysis included 4807 UK Biobank participants with CKD at baseline.

Article Synopsis
- * This review analyzed 28 studies and found that following the American Cancer Society (ACS) dietary guidelines and consuming a plant-rich, low-carb diet could lower CRC-specific mortality rates.
- * The study suggests that a Western dietary pattern, which includes refined grains and sugary drinks, increases the risk of CRC recurrence, while adherence to ACS guidelines and higher intake of omega-3 fatty acids may reduce risk, highlighting the need for more standardized dietary research in CRC survivorship.

Expert groups recommend that populations adopt dietary patterns higher in whole, plant-based foods and lower in red and processed meat as a high-impact climate action. Yet, there is limited understanding of populations' willingness to adopt plant-rich dietary patterns. This study examined United States (US) adults' perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors towards plant-rich dietary patterns and practices over a decade.

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of low-carbohydrate diets after breast cancer diagnosis in relation to breast cancer-specific and all-cause mortality.
Methods: For 9621 women with stage I-III breast cancer from two ongoing cohort studies, the Nurses' Health Study and Nurses' Health Study II, overall low-carbohydrate, animal-rich low-carbohydrate, and plant-rich low-carbohydrate diet scores were calculated by using food frequency questionnaires collected after breast cancer diagnosis.
Results: Participants were followed up for a median 12.
