Written by | published on

If you want to keep up with the very latest nutrition researc, be sure to follow the SuppVersity on Facebook ! Nutrition sciences are all about the microbiome, these days. Against that background you probably won't be surprised that my brief overview of studies from the latest edition of  Molecular Nutrition & Food Research  features 3+1 studies that deal with the food <> microbiome <> health interaction or could at least be related to it... before we get to the details, I want to warn you, though: The way people ascribe everything to gut bugs and try to sell random probiotics to customers is not science. That's quackery ! Review older articles about the gut - health  axis.at the SuppVersity Bugs Dictate What You Crave Sweeteners & Your Gut Foods, Not Ma- cros for the Gut Lactulose For Gut & Health Probiotics Don't Cut Body Fat Microbiome <> Bread's H.

True or False? Butter, Ghee, Lard & Tallow - Are Saturated Animals Fats the Kings and Queens of the Frying Pan?

Written by | published on
Image
Even if animal fats were the best frying fats, this wouldn't turn doughnuts into "health food" and french fries into raw carrot sticks. If you "liked" the SuppVersity on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/SuppVersity ) you will probably already have seen the controversies and questions my post "Scientists on the Quest for the Perfect Frying Oil" ( read more ) has triggered. Eventually, it all revolves around yet another of those nutritional wisdoms that's circulating on the Internet: "Ghee, tallow, lard, ... saturated animal fats and the coconut miracle, of course, are the best and only frying oils you should use ." (next best Internet source) How on earth could F. Aladedunye, and R. Przybylski, the authors of the previously cited study even dare to state that high-oleic low-linolenic rapeseed , high-oleic sunflower oils are good frying oils? But enough of the sarcasm : In today's installment of "True or False" (read pre...

Image 1 (fidged-group.co.uk): Being average may not be sexy, but one thing I did not mention in the summary of what you are going to learn today is that an average amount of body fat (not the new average American though ;-) could hold the key for a longer life - ah, I almost forgot: This is only valid if it comes with an appropriate amount of lean mass, which is still the best predictor of a long and healthy life! Somehow these On Short Notice posts become increasingly longer... I had to "outsource" a couple of items, to reduce today's installment to a manageable length, but don't worry a couple of them will turn up in the next installment or make it into the regular news in the days to come. For now you will have to settle for valuable and at least in part surprising insights into the broad range of effects different types and loads of dietary fat can have on your appetite, metabolism and your, or rather your bacterial subtenants' methane production . You w...

Half As Heavy, but Twice As Fat: "Atkins-Style" No-Carb Diet + Exhaustive Exercise Compromise Body Composition

Written by | published on

Image 1: Your scale is a fat liar and putting too much trust in it is a potential hazard to your health. In the past couple of months the shrine with the image of the Dr. Atkins has begun to totter. "Lower your carbs!" What sounds easy and works pretty well as a short- to medium-term intervention for the morbidly obese 100% insulin resistant sedentary slob is getting more and more "healthy" or "newly healthy" and active individuals into serious trouble. I have been blogging about the fallacy of athletes dieting like Biggest Losers and Biggest Losers training like athletes before and do not want to go through all the arguments again. What I do yet want to do is to point you to the intriguing results of recently published (unfortunately rodent) study from the Ludwig Maximilian University here in Munich, Germany ( Caton. 2012 ) Extreme "Atkins diet" minimizes weight gain, but induces a "skinny fat" phenotype in exercised rodents ...

The Fat Truth Behind the Dairy Weight Loss Miracle: MUFA and PUFA Impair, Saturated Fat and Plenty of Micronutrients Drive Full-Fat Dairy-Powered Fat Loss.

Written by | published on

Image 1: Kids who drink more milk, tend to be leaner... and that despite (?) the fact that this stuff comes out of an animal and is full of bad cholesterol and fat - outrageous ;-) Plenty of interesting news, lately, so this one - just like the recently released hypertrophy / hormone correlation study by Stuart Phillips, about which I have been talking in yesterday's installments of the Intermittent Thoughts got somewhat delayed. With the Christmas holidays and the approaching and all those New Year's weight loss resolutions (I would prefer the term "fat loss resolution", though ;-) already on your mind, I do yet think that it is about time to break the news on the "fat" reason for the purported beneficial effects an increased consumption of dairy products during periods of caloric restriction appears to have on weight and more specifically body fat loss ( Linn. 2000 ; Peirara. 2002 ; Shahar. 2010 ). Dairy, calcium or simply the right macronutrient co...
