“FTA: > St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital study finds diet may influence susceptibility to autoinflammatory disease in at-risk individuals by favoring intestinal bacteria that fuel or dampen inflammation”

“FTA: > For people with metabolic syndrome, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or nuts may help reverse the condition, indicate findings from a clinical trial.”

“A diet low in refined sugar improved fat and inflammation in the livers of boys with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. They reduced their fatty liver disease from 25% to 17% while the boys with their standard diet had a reduction from 21% to 20%.”

“The study involved 110 lean, healthy Australian adults between the ages of 17 and 35 years who adhered to a healthy, non-restrictive dietary pattern. The authors of the study randomized the participants to either a one-week Western-style diet intervention group or a habitual-diet control group.”

“Each diet lasted three weeks and ended with brain imaging scans (using MRI and PET) and blood tests to measure brain blood flow and BDNF levels. They found that the ketogenic diet markedly increased ketone levels in the blood compared to the standard diet.”

“This may be further evidence that it is the processed foods and refined sugar that can make saturated fat dangerous but in the absence of that junk food saturated fat is not bad (however, other genetic factors can also be important here). Many of the studies out there do not differentiate between a person eating a low refined-carb/high-saturated fat diet and the standard American diet.”

“Ketone production occurs during periods of low food intake (fasting), ketogenic diets, starvation, or prolonged intense exercise. There are three types of ketones produced in the body: acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone.”

“Cyclic fasting and fasting-mimicking diets (FMDs) show promise in enhancing the effects of cancer treatments while reducing side effects, and early clinical trials suggest they are safe and beneficial for patients.”

“> Participants in the lifestyle-change group were placed on a vegan diet consisting primarily of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes supplemented with soy, vitamins and minerals. They participated in moderate aerobic exercise, yoga/meditation, and a weekly support group session.”

“Female mice that were put under stress experienced changes in their gut microbiome composition similar to when the animals were put on a high-sugar, high-fat diet. The stress caused inflammation via gut health. This may be a mechanistic link by which stress is linked to depression via inflammation caused by gut dysfunction.”
