  2. Here is why the new #Amercican #dietary #guidelines (#DGA) are a recipe for poorer #health.

    - the new DGA do not acknowledge important barriers to healthy eating (human behaviours, insufficient personal resources...)
    - the new DGA largely dismiss many science-based findings
    - the new DGA assume, against existing evidence, that simply recommending “the best possible diet” without regard to socioeconomic circumstances, the food environment, or commercial determinants of health will change behaviours
    - the new DGA are inconsistent (i.e., respecting one guideline means breaking another one)

  3. A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that combining certain types of #dietary #supplements is more effective than single #prebiotics or #omega-3 in supporting #immune and metabolic health, which could lower the risk of conditions linked to chronic #inflammation.

  4. #Mammals that chose #ants and #termites as #food almost never go back
    A study reveals that this extreme #dietary specialization, once thought rare and mysterious, has emerged independently in mammals at least 12 times in the last 66 million years (i.e., since the Cenozoic era began). This is a striking example of convergent #evolution and shows just how powerful ants and termites have been in shaping mammalian history.

  5. The #gut, a complex ecosystem of numerous #microorganisms, plays a pivotal role in human well-being. Factors like #dietary changes, medications, or #bile salts can influence the #microbiota, impacting health.
