Studies in Brief

11/19/2007
Supplementation with zinc did not affect mortality in children up to 3 years old in Nepal (Lancet 2007; 370:1230-1239). … High intake of dairy fat among women increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):929-37). … In Japanese adults, consumption of fruit was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, but fruit and vegetable intake did not reduce total cancer risk (Am J Epidemiol. ePub Oct. 10, 2007). … Consuming 33 g insoluble cereal fiber can reduce appetite, short-term food intake and glycemic response to food consumed later in the day (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):972-9). … High hostility among younger adults (ages 18 to 30) was a predictor of low levels of some serum carotenoids at seven-year follow-up; however, carotenoid levels at baseline did not predict hostility scores at follow-up (Am J Epidemiol. ePub Oct. 10, 2007). … Supplementing newborn infants with vitamin A concurrent with BCG vaccine does not impact vitamin A status at six weeks or 4 months of age (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1032-39).… Researchers from the National Cancer Institute found total and supplemental calcium and dairy food intake were not related to prostate cancer risk (Am J Epidemiol. ePub Oct. 12, 2007). … South African children who received vitamin A supplements plus iodine had reduced stimulation of the thyroid and lower rates of goiter (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1040-4). … Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids enhanced neonatal insulin-regulated protein metabolism in piglets by altering muscle lipid concentration (J Lipid Res. 2007;48:2396-410).… USDA researchers assessed dietary calcium intake among men and women, and determined current calcium requirements may be lower than previously estimated (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1054- 63). … Women with higher intakes of choline and betaine had lower levels of total homocysteine, and remethylation of homocysteine may be more dependent on the betaine pathway when inadequate folate is consumed (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1073-81). … There may be an association between milk consumption and early forms of prostate cancer, dependent on fat content, according to data from the Multiethnic Cohort Study; in a group of 82,483 men, low- and nonfat milk was related to an increased risk and whole milk to a decreased risk of localized or low-grade prostate cancer (Am J Epidemiol. ePub Oct. 8, 2007). … Data from the Danish National Birth Cohort suggests milk intake in pregnancy is associated with higher birth weight of infants, with intake of protein from milk, but not fat, also related to birth weight (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1104-10). … Acylated starches are an effective way of delivering short-chain fatty acids to the colon in humans (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1146-51). … Overweight children consume more fructose than normal weight children, and the higher fructose intake is related to smaller low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size, an atherogenic risk factor (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1174-78). … Following the fortification of the U.S. food supply with folic acid, the number of individuals with low serum B12 levels who had undiagnosed B12 deficiency declined (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1187-92). … Older adults without advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who consume a diet with a lower glycemic index (GI) have less risk of progression of the eye disease (Am J Clin Nutr. 2007;86(4):1210-18).
