Advances in Nutrition
(AN)
March 2020, 11(3)
Featured Articles:
- Reviewing 39 relevant prospective cohort studies, Mei Chun et al. concluded that “daily tea intake as part of a healthy habitual dietary pattern may be associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality among adults.” Moreover, they stated that “incorporating tea as part of a healthy diet is a simple dietary modification that may have positive public health implications on chronic disease risk reduction worldwide.”
- Could an overly strong fixation on healthy eating become a mental illness? Due to a lack of high-quality studies, Jana Strahler et al. note, “great caution should be exercised in extending the label of illness to the phenomenon of orthorexia nervosa. More studies are needed to investigate the sole contribution of orthorexia nervosa to pathology before we can reach a conclusion about its significance as a distinct illness.”

Current Developments in Nutrition
(CDN)
April 2020, 5(4)
Featured Article:
- Involving children in cooking has been linked to reductions in childhood obesity and improvements in dietary intake. In this study, Fiona M. Asigbee et al. set out to assess whether children’s involvement in cooking was associated with fruit intake, vegetable intake, vegetable preference, and vegetable exposure. The study, conducted in 28 low-income, primarily Hispanic schools across Texas, included 1,231 third-grade students and their parents. The participants were part of the Texas, Grow! Eat! Go! randomized controlled trial. Results of the study “showed a positive association between children who prepared food with their families and fruit and vegetable consumption, demonstrating that this may be an effective strategy to improve dietary intake of healthy foods in this high-risk population.”
