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.

Dairy and (Pre-)Diabetes - Re-Evaluated: It's Complicated -- Generally Protective Effects, Though (Risk Reduction ~40%)

Written by | published on

If you lump all forms of dairy together into the "total dairy" category, US citizens have a ~40% reduced risk of prediabetes when they consume more than 14 servings of dairy per week. And that's by no means the only novel insight from a recent study by USDA researchers... When women tell you "it's complicated" that's usually a sign you're in trouble. When scientists tell you "it's complicated", it's usually a smart version of telling you: "We don't know nothing, bro..." With that being said, I didn't find the line "it's complicated" in the latest paper by scientists from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University  (Hruby 2017) and still I cannot shake the feeling that... you guessed it: "It's complicated" ;-) Yet even though it is obviously "complicated", the US dietary guidelines have consistently recommended 2–3 servings dairy/d for...

Cheese & Your Health: CVD, Cancer & Metabolic Syndrome - Cheesy Science or Scientific Revelation? A Brief Review

Written by | published on
Image
Cheeses come in all forms and colors. Cheese is not exactly the first food that comes to mind when we think about "healthy eating". Rightly so? Today's overview of recent cheese studies tries to answer this question. The article will, among other things, also address the claim that cheese was addictive (see red box) and / or that the consumption of a dairy product with a saturated fat content that is second only to that of butter would harm your cardiovascular and metabolic health. So, where do we start? Netherlands? Well, even though the Dutch are famous for the many different types of cheese they produce and consume, they are probably not the ones who "invented" it. Rather than that it appears to be certain that the first cheeses were produced 5,000 BC - accidentally. You can learn more about dairy at the SuppVersity Dairy Has Branched-Chain Fatty Acids!

40g Casein Build Lean Muscle Overnight: 27% Elevated MPS Even W/Out Training (30% W/ Ex) - And That in 70-Y+ Olds!

Written by | published on

Pre-bed protein (meal or shake) is always a good idea, no matter if you're young or old, if you work out in the PM or not - you don't want to miss the increased overnight protein synthesis. Gaining muscle over night? No news! You will probably remember the two previous articles on "pre-bed protein ingestion", i.e. "12-Week Study: 25g Bed-Time Protein Almost Doubles Size & Increases Strength Gains" ( read it ) and "3.2kg of Lean Mass Over Night W/ 40g of Slow Digesting Protein 30min Before Bed!? Over One Year, a Positive Nitrogen Balance and +20% FSR Could Make It Happen!" ( read it ), but still! With this being the first study to show that even (on average) 71-year-olds can "build muscle overnight" with nothing but 40g of casein being ingested ~30 minutes before they went to bed, it is probably the most impressive of the previously referenced studies. High-protein diets are much safer than pseudo-experts say, but there are thi...
