Doctors, dietitians and medical groups seem generally supportive of Canada's new food guide recommendations.

Hidden hunger affects over two billion people, globally. The cause is a chronic lack of essential micronutrients in the diet, such as vitamins and minerals.

Our weight might not be controlled solely by what we eat. When we eat, and when we get to sleep, may be just as important. A small study published this week in Current Biology found people who had been thrown off their circadian rhythms burn more calories in the late afternoon and evening hours than in the morning, when calorie burn is at its lowest. Later in the day, calorie burn increases by 10 percent, or about 129 calories.

New review of nutritional science argues most American diets are deficient in a key class of vitamins and minerals.

Crops grown in a high CO2 atmosphere are less nutritious, containing less protein, zinc and iron. Rising levels of carbon dioxide could make crops less nutritious and damage the health of hundreds of millions of people, research has revealed, with those living in some of the world’s poorest regions likely to be hardest hit. Previous research has shown that many food crops become less nutritious when grown under the CO2 levels expected by 2050, with reductions of protein, iron and zinc estimated at 3–17%.

Researchers reveal how chemicals in some vegetables can prevent bowel cancer.

Nowadays, it seems like you can’t go anywhere online without hearing about some new “craze” happening. This year alone, we’ve seen some of the strangest nail art creations ever, the...

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

It’d be great if a burger-a-day diet was healthy. Don’t get me wrong—it’s not the worst. You’ve got protein in there and hopefully some veggies on top (and on the side) , and even some fiber from the roll (you used whole grain, right?). Unfortunately, study after study shows that meat as a protein source just isn’t that healthy. It’s far better to get that necessary protein from plants. But why?

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

Blame ducks for fatty livers!

Gluten-containing cereals are a main food staple present in the daily human diet, including wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten intake is associated with the development of celiac disease (CD) and related disorders such as diabetes mellitus type I, depression, ...

Socioeconomics play a significant role in attitudes about food – especially concerns about safety and purchasing behavior. And higher income doesn’t always correlate with informed choices. On the contrary, our research shows that affluent Americans tend to overestimate their knowledge about health and nutrition.

Sixty-eight percent of those 65 and older take vitamin supplements. Much of what we once believed about the benefits is wrong.

 "But where do you get your protein from?" Sound familiar? We've decided to lay this question to rest once and for all by creating our list of the 50 best vegan protein sources.

Because of soil depletion, crops grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get today

From nutrients, delusions, and deadly scams, let's sort it out.

That almond milk latte may be delicious, but a study just published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology suggests that the trendy beverage also has some drawbacks. When researchers compared the nutritional profiles of four popular “alternative” milks, they found that soy milk came out on top—and that almond, rice and coconut “milks” all lacked essential nutrients important for overall health.
