Coconut oil consumption improves fat-free mass in healthy men with normal BMI, compared to peanut oil
Coconut oil consumption improves fat-free mass in healthy men with normal BMI, compared to peanut oil
Coconut oil consumption improves fat-free mass, plasma HDL-cholesterol and insulin sensitivity in healthy men with normal BMI compared to peanut oil. The existing scientific evidence on coconut oil consumption and its health effects remains inconclusive due to varied reasons.

Omega-3 supplements fail to reduce body weight, insulin resistance in adolescents with obesity
Omega-3 supplements fail to reduce body weight, insulin resistance in adolescents with obesity
Combined with a hypocaloric diet, an omega-3 fatty acid supplement failed to improve measures of insulin resistance and body weight in children with obesity over 3 months, according to findings from a randomized controlled trial published in Pediatric Obesity.

The use of targeted massively parallel sequencing to screen children with diabetes for maturity-onset diabetes of the young is more effective and less costly than the current standard care Read more
Three New Perspectives on the Perfect Storm: What’s Behind the Obesity Epidemic?
Three New Perspectives on the Perfect Storm: What’s Behind the Obesity Epidemic?
The rising rates of obesity were first observed in the United States in the late 1980s, and the problem is now observed in more than 30 countries, making this a global epidemic. Despite the best intentions to reduce this burden, no country has been successful in reversing the increasing rates of obesity prevalence Source:Three New... Read more Read more
Could a New Biomarker Help Predict Type 2 Diabetes?
Could a New Biomarker Help Predict Type 2 Diabetes?
A research team has identified a new blood biomarker that can detect early metabolic abnormalities — well before a person reaches prediabetes — and therefore might one day “predict” type 2 diabetes. Source: Could a New Biomarker Help Predict Type 2 Read more
Introducing novel advanced practice roles into the health workforce: Dietitians leading in gastrostomy management
Introducing novel advanced practice roles into the health workforce: Dietitians leading in gastrostomy management
The number of advanced practice roles in the Australian health‐care system is growing alongside contemporary health‐care reforms. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of introducing novel advanced practice dietitian roles in gastrostomy tube (g‐tube) management and develop a competency framework for progressing opportunities in dietetics practice and policy.

Breastfeeding Greater Than 6 Months Is Associated with Smaller Maternal Waist Circumference Up to One Decade After Delivery
Breastfeeding Greater Than 6 Months Is Associated with Smaller Maternal Waist Circumference Up to One Decade After Delivery
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is optimal for infant health.1 However, an equivalently optimal duration for mothers to experience health benefits from breastfeeding has yet to be determined. This may be due to conflicting evidence regarding the association between breastfeeding and maternal health outcomes in the years after pregnancy.2... Read more Read more

A Ketone Ester Drink Lowers Human Ghrelin and Appetite
A Ketone Ester Drink Lowers Human Ghrelin and Appetite
The ketones d‐β‐hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and acetoacetate are elevated during prolonged fasting or during a “ketogenic” diet. Although weight loss on a ketogenic diet may be associated with decreased appetite and altered gut hormone levels, it is unknown whether such changes are caused by elevated blood ketones. This study investigated the effects of an exogenous ketone ester... Read more Read more
