Published Global diet study challenges advice to limit high-fat dairy foods
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Unprocessed red meat and whole grains can be included or left out of a healthy diet, according to a study conducted in 80 countries across all inhabited continents.

The addition of unprocessed red meat or whole grains had little impact on outcomes.
Published Not eating enough of these six healthy foods is associated with higher cardiovascular disease and deaths globally
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Previous and similar research has focused on Western countries and diets that combined harmful, ultra-processed foods with nutrient-dense foods. This research was global in scope and focused on foods commonly considered to be healthy. Researchers derived a diet score from PHRI's ongoing, large-scale global Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study, then replicated that in five independent studies to measure health outcomes in different world regions and in people with and without prior CVD.

Published What makes brown rice healthy? Decoding the chemistry of its nutritional wealth
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source The health-benefits of brown rice are well-known and widely advertised. But what exactly confers these excellent properties has been subject to speculation until now.

Published Realtime monitoring with a wearable device reveals IBS-related changes
(via sciencedaily.com) A research group recorded the autonomic nervous system activity in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and healthy subjects using a wearable device and a proprietary smartphone application to record daily life events such as defecation and sleep. As a result, they found that sympathetic nervous system activity was activated in IBS patients from 2 minutes before defecation and continued until 9 minutes after defecation. Further research is expected to improve the quality of life of IBS patients and elucidate the pathophysiology.
