“A randomized controlled trial in formula-fed infants given meat-based or dairy-based complimentary diets (same total calories, protein, and fat) showed the length-for-age increased in the meat group and declined in the dairy group.”

“There are several probable mechanisms by which obesity increases cancer risk: higher levels of IGF-1, increased insulin, hormones, inflammation and DNA damage.”

“Muscle strength can be important for healthspan. Muscular strength is independently associated with lower all-cause mortality risk even after adjusting for cardiorespiratory fitness and other factors such as age, body fat, smoking, and alcohol intake.”

“On the first and eighth days of the study, the participants in the Western diet group ate a breakfast that included a toasted sandwich and a milkshake (high in saturated fat and added sugar).”

“Brown fat activity contributes to overall energy expenditure and the regulation of body fat. Previous research has reported an association between increased brown adipose tissue and better whole-body glucose and insulin sensitivity in adults.”

“A low protein diet (9% of total calories) caused changes in testicular epigenetics and males had offspring that were overweight with symptoms of type 2 diabetes and reduced activation of genes which regulate fat metabolism (mouse study).”

“The study drew on interviews and biomarker data (body mass index, waist circumference, cholesterol, triglycerides, body fat percentage, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels) from the Turkana.”

“In addition, eating late altered biochemical pathways involved in fat metabolism and storage. These findings suggest that eating late influences appetite, energy expenditure, and molecular pathways in fat tissue, underscoring the role of circadian rhythmicity in bodyweight management.”

“In the setting of obesity, adipocytes (fat cells) enlarge to accommodate immense quantities of fat. These specialized cells eventually become dysfunctional, releasing inflammatory proteins and activating immune cells called macrophages.”

“In this small randomized controlled trial, the processed and unprocessed meals had the same amounts of calories, sugars, fiber, fat, and carbohydrates, and participants were free to consume as much as they wanted.”
