Small changes in children's sleep lead to significant changes in eating habits, shows study

"Based on the findings of this study and previous pre-clinical studies, we can conclude that adding olive oil to our diet could maintain a healthy brain and improve memory function."
Can certain nutrients protect against the effects of fetal alcohol exposure?
Supplementing the mother's diet with certain nutrients could be an effective preventative measure to protect embryos from accidental early foetal alcohol exposure.
Effects of single plant-based vs. animal-based meals on satiety and mood
We could not detect the profound effects of plant-based vs. animal-based meals on satiety and mood.
Maternal obesity can affect foetal development
Placental DNA methylation may be one of the mechanisms by which maternal obesity is associated with adverse metabolic health outcomes in childhood, although further studies would be needed to corroborate these findings.
More evidence that sugary drinks cause weight gain
Sugar sweetened beverage consumption promotes higher BMI and body weight in both children and adults, underscoring the importance of dietary guidance and public policy strategies to limit intake.
Can Mediterranean diet help people with MS preserve thinking skills?
People who more closely followed the Mediterranean diet had a 20% lower risk for cognitive impairment than people who did not follow the diet.
Taking vitamin D could help prevent dementia, study finds
Taking vitamin D supplements may help ward off dementia, according to a new, large-scale study.
How diet affects a child's mental health
"In this study, we see a clear connection between what children eat during their early years and personality traits and symptoms of anxiety and depression when they are eight years old."
Study finds common artificial sweetener linked to higher rates of heart attack and stroke
"Our study shows that when participants consumed an artificially sweetened beverage with an amount of erythritol found in many processed foods, markedly elevated levels in the blood are observed for days—levels well above those observed to enhance clotting risks"
Disordered eating impacts one in five youth worldwide
Identifying the magnitude of disordered eating and its distribution in at-risk populations is crucial for planning and executing actions aimed at preventing, detecting, and dealing with them.
