The results showed that those who ate the healthiest diet at the average age of 50 had an almost 90 per cent lower risk of dementia in a 14-year follow-up study than those
whose diet was the least healthy. The study was the first in the world to investigate the relationship between a healthy diet as early as in midlife and the risk of developing dementia later on.
The researchers assessed the link between diet and dementia using a healthy diet index based on the consumption of a variety of foods.
Vegetables berries and fruits fish and unsaturated fats from milk products and spreads were some of the healthy components
whereas sausages eggs sweets sugary drinks salty fish and saturated fats from milk products and spreads were indicated as unhealthy.
Previous studies on diet and dementia have focused mainly on the impact of single dietary components.

A traditional dietary pattern of boiled potatoes fish and cooked vegetables was linked also to a significantly lower risk.
Although these findings cannot establish causality they support dietary advice to pregnant women to eat a balanced diet including vegetables fruit whole grains
whether a link exists between maternal diet and preterm delivery. Using data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study they analyzed preterm births among 66000 women between 2002 and 2008.
The researchers identified three distinct dietary patterns interpreted as prudent (vegetables fruits oils water as a beverage whole grain cereals poultry fibre rich bread) Western
This indicates that increasing the intake of foods associated with a prudent dietary pattern is more important than totally excluding processed food fast food junk food
but say the findings suggest that diet matters for the risk of preterm delivery which may reassure medical practitioners that the current dietary recommendations are sound
but also inspire them to pay more attention to dietary counselling. These findings are important as prevention of preterm delivery is of major importance in modern obstetrics.
They also indicate that preterm delivery might actually be modified by maternal diet they conclude. In an accompanying editorial Professor Lucilla Poston at King's college London says healthy eating in pregnancy is always a good idea.
She points to several studies that have proposed the benefit of a diet rich in fruit and/or vegetables in prevention of premature birth and says health professionals would

over the last five decades human diets around the world have grown ever more similar--by a global average of 36 percent
but relying on a global diet of such limited diversity obligates us to bolster the nutritional quality of the major crops as consumption of other nutritious grains and vegetables declines.
The study calls for urgent efforts to better inform consumers about diet-related diseases and to promote healthier more diverse food alternatives.
The research reveals that the crops now predominant in diets around the world include several that were already quite important a half-century ago--such as wheat rice maize and potato.
as the human diet has become less diverse at the global level over the last 50 years many countries particularly in Africa
while changing to more globalized diets. In East and Southeast asia several major foods--like wheat and potato--have gained importance alongside longstanding staples like rice Khoury noted.
But this expansion of major staple foods has come at the expense of the many diverse minor foods that used to figure importantly in people's diets.
Rising incomes in developing countries for example have enabled more consumers to include larger quantities of animal products oils and sugars in their diets.
The researchers conducted two experiments to test the beneficial effects of adding plant extracts to pig diets to combat PRRS and E coli.

#Whole diet approach to lower cardiovascular risk has more evidence than low-fat dietsa study published in The American Journal of Medicine reveals that a whole diet approach which focuses on increased intake of fruits vegetables nuts
while strictly low-fat diets have the ability to lower cholesterol they are not as conclusive in reducing cardiac deaths.
By analyzing major diet and heart disease studies conducted over the last several decades investigators found that participants directed to adopt a whole diet approach instead of limiting fat intake had a greater reduction in cardiovascular death and nonfatal myocardial infarction.
Early investigations of the relationship between food and heart disease linked high levels of serum cholesterol to increased intake of saturated fat and subsequently an increased rate of coronary heart disease.
Nearly all clinical trials in the 1960s 70s and 80s compared usual diets to those characterized by low total fat low saturated fat low dietary cholesterol
These diets did reduce cholesterol levels. However they did not reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease deaths.
and trials from 1957 to the present investigators found that the whole diet approach and specifically Mediterranean-style diets are effective in preventing heart disease
even though they may not lower total serum or LDL cholesterol. The Mediterranean-style diet is low in animal products
and saturated fat and encourages intake of monounsaturated fats found in nuts and olive oil. In particular the diet emphasizes consumption of vegetables fruit legumes whole grains and fish.
The potency of combining individual cardioprotective foods is substantial --and perhaps even stronger than many of the medications and procedures that have been the focus of modern cardiology explains co-author Stephen Devries MD FACC Gaples Institute for Integrative Cardiology (Deerfield IL) and Division of Cardiology

and overall better at preventing heart disease than a blanket low-fat diet. Encouraging the consumption of olive oil over butter
Nutritional interventions have proven that a'whole diet'approach with equal attention to what is consumed as well as what is excluded is more effective in preventing cardiovascular disease than low fat low cholesterol diets.

The work out in Current Biology looked into the mechanism that allowed gregarious locusts to change their diet surprisingly fast--just a few hours after solitarious locusts are crowded they are eating toxic plants
Although gregarious animals later recover this capacity their diet is affected not because at this point the food taste is no longer an important deciding factor.
The changes in diet were particular puzzling to scientists since food is a crucial survival tool and an adaptation to the animal's specific life story and ecology.
Although the new diet improved the survival chances of the animal in the swarm by increasing the range of food available
--while solitarious and gregarious locusts had no problem gaining negative memories (so being conditioned to link vanilla to the unpalatable diet)

In addition different diets mean that cows can produce the same amount of milk with lower emissions.

An Oxford university study has concluded that our ancient ancestors who lived in East Africa between 2. 4 million-1. 4 million years ago survived mainly on a diet of tiger nuts.
Study author Dr Gabriele Macho examined the diet of Paranthropus boisei nicknamed Nutcracker Man because of his big flat molar teeth and powerful jaws through studying modern-day baboons
Scholars have debated why this early human relative had such strong jaws indicating a diet of hard foods like nuts yet their teeth seemed to be made for consuming soft foods.
Previous research using stable isotope analyses suggests the diet of these homimins was composed largely of C4 plants like grasses and sedges.
Her finding is grounded in existing data that details the diet of year-old baboons in Amboseli National park in Kenya--a similar environment to that once inhabited by Paranthropus boisei.
On the basis of recent isotope results these hominins appear to have survived on a diet of C4 foods
What this research tells us is that hominins were selective about the part of the grass that they ate choosing the grass bulbs at the base of the grass blade as the mainstay of their diet.'

A team of researchers led by Benjamin Marsland from Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) has shown in experiments with mice that the lack of fermentable fibers in people's diet paves the way for allergic inflammatory reactions in the lungs.
either put mice on a standard diet with four percent fermentable fibers or gave them low-fiber food with merely 0. 3 percent fermentable fibers.
This low-fiber food is largely comparable to the Western diet which contains no more than 0. 6 percent fibers on average.
When the researchers exposed the mice to an extract of house dust mites the mice with the low-fiber food developed a stronger allergic reaction with much more mucus in the lungs than the mice with the standard diet.
Conversely a comparison between mice on a standard diet and mice who received food enriched with fermentable fibers likewise showed that these dietary fibers have a protective influence.
because the share of plant fibers in Western diets is comparable to the low-fiber food of the mice
We plan to conduct clinical studies to find out how a diet enriched with fermentable fibers affects allergies and inflammations.

But could the difference between a healthy diet and an unhealthy one be as little as a buck and some change?
 They found that healthier diet patterns--for example, diets rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts--cost significantly more than unhealthy diets (for example, those rich in processed foods, meats, and refined grains).
The highlights: Â Meats and protein had largest price differences. Healthier options cost $0. 29 per serving more than less healthy options.
Comparing extremes, healthier diets cost $1. 48 per day more than the least healthy ones. Over the course of a year,
however, eating a healthy diet would increase costs by $550 for just one person. This would represent a real burden for some families,
On the other hand, this price difference is very small in comparison to the economic costs of diet-related chronic diseases,
which would be reduced dramatically by healthy diets. The team concludes that best way to make healthier foods more affordable is for governments to subsidize healthy foods and tax unhealthy ones, New Scientist reports.
Unhealthy diets may cost less because food policies have focused on the production of inexpensive, high volume commodities,
--and reduce the prices--of more healthful diets. The work was published in British Medical Journal Open last week.
