In the latest issue of @foodfunction.rsc.org: The overlooked impact of background diet and adherence in nutrition trials. #OpenAccess from Gunter G. C. Kuhnle et al @ggkuhnle.bsky.social ‪@uniofreading.bsky.social‬‬ @bcmhouston.bsky.social. Read now: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Can we really trust results from clinical trials in nutrition? RCTs are seen as the gold standard in research - but "not all that glitters is gold" ... And there are some unique aspects that we have explored in a brand-new paper. Read on🧵

Do you want to learn about integrating modern methods like food substitution and target trial emulation in nutritional epidemiology studies? Then do I have the course for you! ✨ Nutritional Epidemiology, a residential course at Sandbjerg Estate, a beautiful historic manor in Southern Denmark. ✨

Flavanols should be used for cardiovascular prevention - because they can reduce blood pressure and improve vascular function. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40126033/

Our new study uncovers a hidden truth: menu labels are often way off. Takeaway meals can vary so much in nutrients ... 🧵👇 #Nutrition #FoodScience

There have been many discussions about NOVA - mainly about the fact that it is simply not fit for purpose by combining foods like infant formula, soft drinks, coco-pops and fish fingers in the same category. Why not join and shape the effort? Everyone interested in public health should do so.

🍽️ What did you eat yesterday? Breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner—do you remember everything? How about the portion sizes? Was that cucumber sandwich 100g or 150g? This might seem like trivia, but for nutrition research, it’s a HUGE challenge. Here's why 👇 open.substack.com/pub/ggck2/p/...

Fascinating - these are exactly the tactics used by @stuartgillespie.bsky.social and Chris van Tulleken against me: vexatious FOI requests, ridiculing in social media and magazine articles. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Merry Christmas to all. Whether you have pigs in blankets or a home made nut roast, organic herbal tea or champagne - I hope you can all enjoy the season.

Really interested in improving health? Ignore processing and simply eat more flavanols. In contrast to processing, there's overwhelming scientific consensus that they are beneficial - and even an RCT showing a reduction in disease risk (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35294962/). And it's easy and cheap!

The problem of the #UPF crowd: they don't want food to be cheap, they want it to be expensive. An industrial lemon cake with a 4-day shelf-life would be incredibly expensive. (And none of the ingredients in the industrial one harm health.)

I’m a dietitian…. - I eat chocolate most days. - I can’t tell you my macros or how many calories I eat. - I rely on ultra processed foods like shop bought bread and cereal bars. - We sometimes have a quick meal like a bought stuffed pasta with a sauce. - I drink wine. Life is about balance.

Funny: @erictopol.bsky.social promotes ultra-processed food and now suddenly warns against the same (based on the press-release - the paper doesn't mention diet at all)
