The most well-grounded dietary pattern involved in nutrigenenic studies investigating non -communicable diseases is the Mediterranean diet. This dietary regime is inspired by the nutritional habits of people residing near Mediterranean Sea. The fundamental elements of this diet can vary based on ethnicity, culture, economic status and religious properties and are associated with lowercases of all-cause mortality rates. Mediterranean diet is most studied dietary pattern at the level of evidence-based medicine. Nutritional based studies are dependent on combined data analysis from the multi-omics technique which delineates systematic alternations taking place fallowing exposure to a stimulant. Comprehending the physiological mechanisms of plant metabolites in cellular processes, in combination of Nutri-genetic and nutrigenomics association with multi omics approaches is a necessary step for developing personalized nutrition regime for a stronger management, treatment and prevention of chronic diseases. The advanced lifestyle is marked by abundant access to food and an accelerating trend of physical inactivity, the latter of which contribute to a variety of health problems. In light of the importance of excellent food habits in the prevention of chronic diseases, health policy should promote the adoption of healthy diets that sustain traditional dietary patterns in the face of commercial pressures.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a critical global focus due to their increasing use, raising concerns about their environmental distribution and human exposure, both vital to food safety and human health. Surface soil (0-30 cm) and corresponding rice grain samples (n = 85) were collected from paddy fields in Taiwan. This study investigated the total REE contents in soil through aqua regia digestion, as well as their labile forms extracted using 0.

Dietary intake and risk assessment of nitrosamine in processed meat products among medical staff during their night shift.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Nutrition Department, High Institute of Public Health, Alexandria University, 165 EL-Horreya Avenue, EL-Hadarah, Alexandria, 21561, Egypt.

The study aims to evaluate the levels of nitrosamine, a known carcinogenic compound, in processed meat products and to assess its dietary intake and margin of exposure among medical staff, including physicians, pharmacists, and nurses working night shifts at Alexandria University Hospitals. Additionally, the study seeks to evaluate the participants' knowledge of dietary sources and regulatory limits of carcinogens. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 420 participants.

Background: While healthy dietary and lifestyle factors have been individually linked to lower colorectal cancer (CRC) risks, recommendations for whole diet-lifestyle patterns remained unestablished due to limited studies and inconsistent pattern definitions.

Objective: This updated review synthesized literature on dietary-lifestyle patterns and CRC risk/mortality.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched through 31 March 2023 for randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies examining adulthood dietary patterns combined with modifiable lifestyle factors such as adiposity, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and/or others.

Background: Supplementing choline and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to pregnant gilts modified fetal pig hepatic global DNA methylation induced by gestational malnutrition, suggesting that gene expression and regulation and its associated metabolic pathways are affected in the liver of offspring during growth and development.

Objective: To investigate the effect of maternal supplementation of choline, DHA and their interaction on hepatic mRNA expression, miRNA regulation and metabolic pathways in the fetal pigs born to malnourished mothers.

Methods: The abundance of mRNA and miRNA was profiled in fetal liver from sows with undernutrition supplemented with choline and DHA in a 2 × 2 factorial design.

A plant-based diet index and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a prospective study.

Food Funct

January 2025

Department of Urology, First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310003, China.

: A plant-based dietary pattern has been recently suggested to have health benefits. However, its relationship with mortality is not completely consistent in prior studies. We aimed to investigate whether a plant-based diet was associated with a lower death risk in a Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) cancer screening study.
