Proud to share our work with Ajay Iyer, Arghya Mukherjee, Beatriz Gómez Sala, Eibhlís M. O'Connor, @John Kenny, Paul Cotter and work with Teagasc. A systematic approach to collect, peruse, and summarize the available information relating to the potential benefits of consuming dietary microbes was pursued in this scoping review. This review focused on the research endpoints, experimental designs, and microbial exposure in experimental as well as observational research work. Using a structured- set of keywords, scientific databases were systematically searched to retrieve publications reporting outcomes pertaining to the use of dietary microbes in healthy, nonpatient populations. A microbial dose of  CFU.day−1 was associated with non-negative reported outcomes. Older population groups with a median age of 39 years were associated with positive outcomes. More high-quality research is required investigating the role of dietary microbes in maintaining general health. https://lnkd.in/eNDSHrCT

A recent study revealed that cutting processed meat consumption by one-third could prevent over 350,000 diabetes cases in the U.S. in the next decade. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and the University of North Carolina utilized a simulation tool to assess the impact of reducing processed and unprocessed red meat intake. The findings underscore potential health benefits, such as lower cardiovascular disease and colorectal cancer cases, particularly among white males and individuals with moderate incomes. The study advocates for further research due to limited data on unprocessed red meat, pointing towards a promising intersection of health and environmental sustainability.

The growing body of evidence surrounding translational applications of endogenous and exogenous #ketosis underscores its potential as a powerful tool for promoting health and combating disease. Currently there are 132 trials using exogenous ketones, and 395 trials using #ketogenic diet listed on clinicaltrials.gov. This increase in research interest will go some way towards elucidating the mechanisms underlying the functional effects of ketosis and hopefully provide evidence to inform the use of ketogenic strategies to improve human health and performance.

This review focused on the research endpoints, experimental designs, and microbial exposure in experimental as well as observational research work. Using a structured- set of keywords, scientific databases were systematically searched to retrieve publications reporting outcomes pertaining to the use of dietary microbes in healthy, nonpatient populations. A microbial dose of ≥2 x 10^9 CFU.day−1 was associated with non-negative reported outcomes. Older population groups with a median age of 39 years were associated with positive outcomes. More high-quality research is required investigating the role of dietary microbes in maintaining general health. https://lnkd.in/eNDSHrCT

Ozempic – known generically as semaglutide – has quickly become a household name in the weight-loss world. While it's mostly prescribed for type 2 diabetes, many turn to it for shedding pounds. But what if there was a way to achieve similar results naturally? 🌾 New research led by Frank Duca from the Department of Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences shows that foods rich in beta-glucan, like oats and barley, might hold the key to reducing body weight and improving glucose control – without breaking the bank. 💡To learn more, check out the full article below. https://bit.ly/3SVvs3A

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 I am thrilled to share that my latest research article, which forms part of my doctoral thesis, has been published in the Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry! The study focuses on the association between the Dietary-Based Diabetes Risk Score (DDS) and the risk of breast cancer, offering valuable insights into how moderate adherence to a healthy, diabetes-preventing diet can significantly reduce breast cancer risk, especially in premenopausal women. 📝 Key Findings: A moderate adherence to the DDS was linked to a 45% lower risk of breast cancer in women, with stronger effects observed in women with a BMI below 25 kg/m². The research emphasizes the role of an anti-diabetic diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy, in preventing not only diabetes but also breast cancer, particularly for women at higher risk. 💡 Public Health Insight: This research highlights the importance of dietary choices in disease prevention. A balanced diet, like the one promoted by the DDS, can lower the risks of both type 2 diabetes and breast cancer. By focusing on whole, plant-based foods and reducing processed meats and sugary beverages, we can significantly improve public health outcomes. 🔗 more info at: https://lnkd.in/dVarrEa3 I am grateful for the support and guidance of my colleagues at the University of Navarra, and my supervisors and the broader research community.

Here’s some “food for thought”—what if a key to battling Crohn’s disease lies in what’s on your plate? 🥗 The paper titled “Diet-omics in the Study of Urban and Rural Crohn Disease Evolution (SOURCE) Cohort” was recently published in Nature Communications by the research team led by PI Dr. Yael Haberman from the Sheba Medical Center, affiliated with Tel Aviv University. This pivotal study explores the impact of urbanization and dietary changes on the evolution of Crohn’s disease (CD) through an innovative multi-omics approach. As someone well aware of the life-altering effects of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) — including Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s Disease (CD) — this research not only highlights the crucial role of diet and environment in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease but also empowers us to develop personalized dietary interventions that could mitigate disease progression. Understanding the interplay between our diet, environment, and health is key to unlocking better outcomes for those affected by CD. • The study found that “time spent by rural residents in urban environments is linked with changes in gut microbial composition and metabolomics, which mirror those seen in CD.” • Another significant finding was that “diet-linked fecal metabolites were associated with host epithelial metabolic functions, while microbial-linked metabolites were associated with the host immune response.” • The research suggests that “consumption of sugar and saturated fat was positively correlated with the transcriptomic signature seen in CD, while higher consumption of vitamin D, manganese, and coffee was linked to healthier gut environments.” Figure 4c: A heatmap showing the correlations between specific dietary factors and Crohn’s disease-linked ileal mucosal transcriptomics signals, illustrating the complex interplay between diet and disease. https://lnkd.in/gGyd7vZm #Biotech #GutHealth #CrohnsDisease #Microbiome #Urbanization #DietOmics #PrecisionMedicine #Genomics #PublicHealth
