Precision Nutrition Model Predicts Glucose Control of Overweight Females Following the Consumption of Potatoes High in Resistant Starch

Joy V. Nolte Fong et al.

Summary: This study presents a precise nutrition model that predicts postprandial glucose response (PPGR) in overweight women following potato consumption. A randomized crossover trial was conducted with 30 overweight women, showing that most participants had favorable PPGR to cold potatoes. The model explains 32.2% of the variance and provides a tool for optimizing dietary recommendations.

Public human microbiome data are dominated by highly developed countries

Richard J. Abdill et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the country of origin of over 440,000 human microbiome samples from the world's largest genomic data repositories. The results revealed an imbalance in sampling, with a majority of samples coming from Europe, the United States, and Canada, while central and southern Asia were underrepresented. This highlights the need for more global representation in microbiome studies.

Principles for Evidence-Based and Sustainable Food System Innovations for Healthier Diets

Chiara Ferraboschi et al.

Summary: Climate change, rapid urbanization, war, and economic recession are key drivers of the disruptions in current food systems, worsened by COVID pandemic. Inadequate diets contribute to the triple burden of malnutrition, affecting billions of people worldwide. The high cost of nutritious diets poses a challenge in low- and middle-income countries. Urgent food system transformations are needed to provide affordable and nutritious diets to address social and environmental challenges.

Nutrition for precision health: The time is now

Lu Qi

Summary: Precision nutrition is a rapidly growing field in nutrition research that focuses on understanding the individual variability in response to diets. It has been found that gene-diet interactions and the gut microbiome play important roles in determining health outcomes such as obesity and weight loss. Incorporating multiple omics factors such as the genome, epigenome, metabolome, proteome, and microbiome in predictive algorithms can further enhance precision nutrition research. The evidence gathered from precision nutrition research will be crucial in developing personalized dietary recommendations for precision health in the future.

Precision nutrition: A review of current approaches and future endeavors

Katherine M. Livingstone et al.

Summary: Precision nutrition is a method that utilizes human variability to design personalized dietary interventions. By integrating various technologies, including nutritional genetics, epigenetics, genomics, metabolomics, and metagenomics, it aims to understand metabolism and human wellbeing for implementing health actions. In recent years, significant progress has been made in these research fields, supporting the development of personalized and precision nutrition interventions. Furthermore, advancements in big data and machine learning have opened up new possibilities for the application of precision nutrition in research, industry, and healthcare.

Precision nutrition: Maintaining scientific integrity while realizing market potential

Silvia Berciano et al.

Summary: Precision Nutrition (PN) is an individualized approach to nutritional recommendations based on various factors. It recognizes that healthful diets can differ between individuals and that health and dietary responses change over time. Despite concerns about the scientific support for current products and services, PN shows promise in improving healthspan and reducing healthcare costs. Advancing PN will require investment in multidisciplinary collaborations, engagement of healthcare professionals and payers, and system-wide collaboration to advocate for evidence-based PN and regulatory support.

Impacts of an egg intervention on nutrient adequacy among young Malawian children

Bess L. Caswell et al.

Summary: The study aimed to test the impact of an egg intervention on the adequacy of total nutrient intakes and micronutrient density among 6- to 15-month-old Malawian children. The results showed that the egg intervention group had higher fat and protein intakes, lower carbohydrate intakes, and lower prevalence of inadequacy for multiple micronutrients.

A Microbiota-Directed Food Intervention for Undernourished Children

Robert Y. Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that providing a microbiota-directed complementary food prototype (MDCF-2) to children with moderate acute malnutrition in Bangladeshi slums showed positive effects on growth, particularly in weight-for-length and weight-for-age z scores, with changes in plasma proteins related to bone growth and neurodevelopment. These findings suggest that targeted manipulation of microbiota components may be linked to growth outcomes in children with moderate acute malnutrition.

Precision Nutrition for Alzheimer's Prevention in ApoE4 Carriers

Nicholas G. Norwitz et al.

Summary: The ApoE4 allele is a well-studied genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, affecting metabolic pathways in the brain that may be targeted through precision nutrition for potential prevention. Long-term human studies are lacking to determine effective nutritional protocols for ApoE4 carriers in preventing Alzheimer's disease; recent research focuses on how ApoE4 differentially impacts microglia, astrocytes, blood-brain barrier integrity, and insulin resistance, providing a basis for speculating a precision nutrition approach.
