Dietary acid load and risk of head and neck and oral cavity cancers: An epidemiologic study

Alvaro L. Ronco et al.

Summary: A high dietary acid load is significantly associated with an increased risk of head and neck and oral cavity cancers, particularly pharyngeal cancer. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Bowel Health in US Vegetarians: A 4-Year Data Report from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)

Maximilian Andreas Storz et al.

Summary: Dietary fiber is important for preventing large-bowel diseases, but fiber intake in many high income countries is below recommendations. Vegetarians, who consume fiber-rich plant foods, have higher bowel movement frequency and softer stools. However, there is limited research on these associations. This study investigated bowel health and constipation prevalence in a self-identified vegetarian population. The lack of association between vegetarian status and bowel health was surprising and may be due to low fiber intake in this particular vegetarian group.

Nutrient intake differs among persons with celiac disease and gluten-related disorders in the United States

Aynur Unalp-Arida et al.

Summary: Individuals with celiac disease have lower intake of energy, carbohydrates, fat, and certain fatty acids compared to those without the disease. However, individuals with undiagnosed celiac disease and positive serology have higher intake of these nutrients. Those following a gluten-free diet without a diagnosis of celiac disease have lower intake of carbohydrates and sugar, but higher intake of certain micronutrients. The study highlights the importance of screening for malabsorption and developing appropriate treatment strategies.

Reduced dietary acid load in U.S. vegetarian adults: Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Maximilian Andreas Storz et al.

Summary: Dietary acid load (DAL) plays a significant role in maintaining pH balance in the body. Diets high in acid-producing foods are associated with health risks, while plant-based diets, such as vegetarian diets, can help reduce acid load.

Comparison of dietary acid load score between celiac patients and healthy population

Zeinab Nikniaz et al.

Summary: This study assessed the dietary acid load in adult celiac patients and compared it with the healthy population. The results showed that celiac patients had a less acidogenic diet, which may be associated with a low-gluten diet.

A plant-based diet in overweight adults in a 16-week randomized clinical trial: The role of dietary acid load

Hana Kahleova et al.

Summary: The study found that changes in dietary acid load as part of a plant-based diet were associated with changes in body weight, body composition, and insulin sensitivity, independent of energy intake. Mechanistic explanations suggest that the relationship may be causal.

A Vegan Diet Is Associated with a Significant Reduction in Dietary Acid Load: Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial in Healthy Individuals

Alexander Mueller et al.

Summary: The composition of diet plays a significant role in acid-base balance. A plant-based vegan diet may reduce dietary acid load, while a meat-rich diet can increase the burden of dietary acid load.
