A multilipid score (MLS), reflecting the effects of replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat on 45 lipid metabolite concentrations, was associated with significantly lower risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The MLS was based on lipidomics data from a randomized controlled dietary intervention trial, replacing specific […]
A randomized, open-label, active parallel-controlled clinical trial showed that 2 nonconsecutive fasting days (with a daily energy intake of 500 kcal for women and 600 kcal for men) and 5 days of habitual intake per week and meal replacement diet (5:2 MR) achieved better glycemic control compared with metformin and […]
A Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis did not find sufficient evidence to support a causal relationship between red/processed meat consumption and cardiovascular disease (CAD), hypertension, stroke, and type 2 diabetes (T2D). The analysis used data of publicly published genome-wide association studies. The inverse-variance weighted analyses revealed no causal association between the […]
An ongoing US prospective cohort study suggests that lactase (LCT) genotype may modify the relationship between milk intake and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), with higher milk intake associated with lower risk of T2D only in lactase non-persistent (LNP) individuals but not in lactase persistence (LP) individuals. The study […]
A US randomized clinical trial found that time-restricted eating (TRE) without calorie counting was effective for weight loss and lowering of HbA1c levels in T2D adults. Between January 25, 2022, and April 1, 2023, 75 adults (mean age of 55, 71% women) with T2D were randomized to 1 of 3 […]
