Do high-protein diets have the potential to reduce gut barrier function in a sex-dependent manner?
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that protein fermentation by the gut microbiota in vitro is influenced by both protein source and the donor ’s sex. Should these results be confirmed through human studies, they could have major implications for developing dietary recommendations tailored by sex to prevent chronic illnesses.

Interactions between folate metabolism-related nutrients and polymorphisms on colorectal cancer risk: a case-control study in the Basque country
AbstractFolate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (FOCM) plays an important role in colorectal carcinogenesis. Previous studies have assessed the role of folate-mediated one-carbon metabolism (FOCM)-related gene-diet interaction in the aetiology of colorectal cancer (CRC), however, the results remained inconclusive. Thus, this study aimed to investigate dietary factors and genetic variants related to FOCM, as well as potential nutrient-gene and nutrient-lifestyle interactions, on CRC risk. This observational study included 229 patients diagnosed with CRC and 229 age- and sex-matched subjects as controls from a population-based...

Aligning front-of-pack labelling with dietary guidelines: including whole grains in the health star rating
ConclusionsThe addition of whole grains to the HSR algorithm improved the differentiation of refined and whole-grain items, and therefore better aligned with dietary guidelines. Holistic approaches to food guidance systems are required to provide consistent messaging and inform positive food choices. (Source: European Journal of Nutrition)

Protein intake and cancer: an umbrella review of systematic reviews for the evidence-based guideline of the German Nutrition Society
ConclusionThe present findings suggest that higher total protein intake may not be associated with the risk of colorectal and breast cancer, while conclusions on protein intake in relation to risks of other types of cancer are restricted due toinsufficient evidence.

Sex difference in the association of dietary fiber intake with visceral fat volume in Japanese adults
ConclusionWe observed a sex-specific association between dietary fiber intake and VFV in Japanese adults. This study suggests that efforts against visceral fat accumulation should take account of the source of dietary fiber. (Source: European Journal of Nutrition)
