A new study found that artificial sweeteners commonly found in low-sugar foods can harm the gut microbial system. US News & World Report has the story.

The available research indicates that your risk of disease can be lowered by even moderate intermittent fasting, in turn increasing your lifespan.

Planned intermittent fasting may help to reverse type 2 diabetes, suggest doctors writing in the journal BMJ Case Reports after three patients in their care, who did this, were able to cut out the need for insulin treatment altogether. Around one in 10 people in the US and Canada have type 2 diabetes, which is associated with other serious illness and early death. It is thought to cost the US economy alone US$245 billion a year.

It's not what you eat, but when you eat that matters.

Rice is a mainstay of dozens of different cuisines around the world, and pretty much the fuel that keeps uni students alive (alongside instant noodles).

Almost 4 million children in the UK live in households that would struggle to afford to buy enough fruit, vegetables, fish and other healthy foods to meet the official nutrition guidelines, a groundbreaking food poverty study reveals. The research, by the Food Foundation thinktank, says the diminishing ability of low-income families to pay for healthy food is consigning the least well-off to a greater risk of diet related illness, such as obesity and diabetes, as well as widening health inequalities across society.

Increasing time between meals made male mice healthier overall and live longer compared to mice who ate more frequently, according to a new study published in the Sept. 6, 2018 issue of Cell Metabolism. Scientists from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the National Institutes of Health, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reported that health and longevity improved with increased fasting time, regardless of what the mice ate or how many calories they consumed.

From cod to clingfilm, the advice we’re given can often be confusing. If you’re serious about eating green, here are some straightforward solutions

When you think of what NFL players eat, you might imagine hulking athletes tearing into juicy steaks and scarfing fattening food.

The Dietitians Association of Australia has pledged to cut financial ties with the sugar lobby following a series of investigations by science journalist Dr Maryanne Demasi for michaelwest.com.au.

"Eat fat, get fat" has been the conventional wisdom guiding American diets for the past two decades. Yet more and more research suggests that thinking is dangerously misguided.

A year-long randomized clinical trial has found that a low-fat diet and a low-carb diet produced similar weight loss and improvements in metabolic health markers. Furthermore, insulin production and tested genes had no impact on predicting weight loss success or failure. Thus, you should choose your diet based on personal preferences, health goals, and sustainability.

People who cut back on added sugar, refined grains and processed foods lost weight without worrying about calories or portion size.

Make no mistake, Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz is a big fan of Tom Brady. But his diet? The love only goes so far. This week, the now-retired slugger appeared on the Pardon My Take podcast to discuss his Red Sox career and a bit of his retirement.

Restricting calories may reduce the risk of an early death by protecting the body from damaging byproducts of converting food to energy, a new study suggests. Researchers have observed in animals that fewer calories keeps core body temperature lower and slows metabolisms, insulating the body from the collateral damage from metabolic processes.

Several studies show that healthy eating is connected with better mood.

A study finds a diet rich in oily fish may help to delay natural menopause, while carbs hasten it.

A study in China suggests a daily egg may reduce the risk of a stroke

A new review of 180 studies found little or no protective effects from taking dietary supplements, and actually found some harm.

Fat but otherwise healthy women are still likelier to have a stroke or heart attack, a study says.

I have one of these, or similar. I bought it in Italy. It is the best thing for olive oil. When you put it down, excess oil runs down the spout and through the vein in the ground glass connection and back into the bottle. If you aren't eating more olive oil, you should be. Except possibly in the US where there is a lot of fake olive oil.

The tendency for children to eat more or less when stressed and upset is mainly influenced by the home environment and not by genes, according to a new UCL-led study. The study, published today in Pediatric Obesity, found that genetics only play a small role in young children’s emotional overeating and undereating, unlike other eating behaviours in childhood such as food fussiness.

It looks like there's a really simple way for doctors to diagnose whether young Caucasian men are getting enough vegetables: it's detectable in the colour of their skin.

Until better science emerges, we're having pasta for breakfast.

One 12-ounce glass of orange juice contains 10 teaspoons of sugar, roughly what’s in a can of Coke.

While some people like their bananas green, others love a mushy brown banana. But is there really a difference between the two?

Cheese lovers, rejoice. There's new evidence that the saturated fat found in cheese, milk, and other kinds of dairy is not tied to an increased risk of heart problems or death from any cause. The study is the latest in a series of papers that question the idea that eating fat is unhealthy.

While just 1% of the UK is allergic to the proteins that cause coeliac disease, many others suffer with gluten-related digestive problems. Some researchers believe mass-produced food is to blame

Beyond the human suffering, diet-related diseases impose massive economic costs.
