Nut intake and hyperuricemia risk in young adults

Objective:The relationship between dietary nut intake and hyperuricemia risk remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between different nut intake and hyperuricemia risk with a cross-sectional study.Design:A semi-quantitative FFQ was adopted to collect dietary information. Biochemical and anthropometric parameters were measured by standard methods. Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression models were implemented to analyse the relationship between individual nut intake and hyperuricemia risk.Setting:Qingdao University in Shandong Province, China.Participants:During 2018–2019, a total of 14 056 undergraduates (6862 males and 7194 females) aged 15–25 years participated in the study.Results:After adjusting for multiple confounding factors, compared with the lowest quartile, the highest quartile intakes of pine nut (95 % CI (0·51, 0·98)) was significantly associated with 29 % reduction in hyperuricemia risk, the highest quartile intake of walnut (OR = 0·78; 95 % CI (0·58, 1·05)) was marginally negatively associated with hyperuricemia risk.Conclusions:The present study showed that the relationships between intakes of different nuts and hyperuricemia risk were different. Increased dietary intakes of walnut and pine nut are negatively associated with the hyperuricemia.

A contributory citizen science project reveals the impact of dietary keys to microbiome health in Spain

Low consumption of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables has been identified as dietary risks for non-communicable diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). We explore how individual and lifestyle factors influence these risks by shaping gut microbiome composition. 1001 healthy participants from all Spanish regions provided personal and dietary data at baseline, six, and twelve months, yielding 2475 responses. Gut microbiome data were analyzed for 500 healthy participants and 321 IBD patients. Our findings reveal that adherence to national dietary guidelines—characterized by diets rich in nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables—was associated with greater microbial diversity and reduced IBD-related dysbiosis. Finally, we observed variations in dietary patterns and microbiome diversity and composition across age groups, genders, regions, seasons, and transit time. This study is among the first to uncover dietary intake associated with IBD-related dysbiosis and to propose an interactive website for participants (https://manichanh.vhir.org/POP/en).

PubPeer - Efficacy of oral folinic acid supplementation in children wi... | Ioana A. Cristea | 13 comments

Over the last week, I have privately been in contact with several friends and collaborators over the *SINGLE* study that was cited by the FDA in supporting the label extension of leucovorin for autism spectrum disorders. https://lnkd.in/dHpfCt_9 https://lnkd.in/dYWbHXyY Given the enormous importance of this study, and the fact that the results look too good to be true and there are various signals I would have thought would have raised a sleuth eyebrow (for example, Table 1 where all categorical values in each group except for 1 differ by exactly one unit), I am very surprised that until now the only Pubpeer comments are by two MDs and by myself, pointing to some inconsistencies between tables and figures. https://lnkd.in/duFQDccr I have also formally asked the authors for the individual participant data. Perhaps given this is not some random wacky study about how much food can one eat in a fast-food or some obscure paper citing another obscure retracted paper, but the SINGLE study that now underpins the retrospective post-marketing approval of an entire treatment, the very large community of people who want to correct science ASAP particularly when findings have huge policy implications could join me in scrutinizing this study to make sure findings are reliable and that the data are correct and analyzed correctly. | 13 comments on LinkedIn

Least resistance weight loss

The weight-loss industry preys on scientific naivete, often conflating good nutrition with the caloric deficit necessary to lose weight.
