    on April 23, 2025

    The link between proximity to greenspace — including trees and parks– and healthy birth outcomes is well established. Now new data adds to our understanding of these health benefits, accounting for other factors that may influence this link, such as education, income and body mass index, but also taking the body of knowledge a step further by exploring the effect of residing near newly planted trees.

  • Living longer and lifestyle: A report on the oldest of the old in the Adventist Health Study-2
    on April 23, 2025

    CONCLUSION: Our Adventist Health oldest of the old cohort shared many of the characteristics observed among the individuals that make up the long-living cohorts worldwide as well as younger aged Adventist participants. This observation indicates the importance of non-smoking, abstinence from alcohol consumption, daily engagement in regular physical activity, avoidance of disease in older ages, and following a plant-based diet concerning the potential for successful aging.

  • Metabolomic profiling of a cholesterol lowering plant-based diet from two randomized controlled feeding trials
    on April 22, 2025

    CONCLUSIONS: Many of these metabolites likely reflect the plant-based nature, low saturated fat content, and cholesterol-lowering effects of the diet, such as increased N2-acetylornithine, L-pipecolic acid, lenticin, and decreased C18:0 lipids and cholesteryl esters. Further research is needed to validate these metabolites as biomarkers of a plant-based dietary pattern.

  • Dietary intakes and nutritional adequacy of Australians consuming plant-based diets compared to a regular meat-eating diet

  • Why is the medical profession reluctant to talk about diet change?
    on April 16, 2025

    The intertwined crises of poor health, climate change, biodiversity loss and social injustice demand urgent action. Human activities, particularly fossil fuel use and the current food system, are key drivers of these crises. A transition to a plant-based diet, especially within healthcare systems, offers a significant opportunity to address these challenges. Diets high in animal products and ultra-processed foods are leading causes of chronic ill health and environmental degradation, while…

  • Evaluation of protein intake and protein quality in New Zealand vegans
    on April 16, 2025

    Dietary protein provides indispensable amino acids (IAAs) that the body cannot synthesise. Past assessments of total protein intake from vegan populations in western, developed countries were found to be low but not necessarily below daily requirements. However, plant-sourced proteins generally have lower quantities of digestible IAAs as compared to animal-sourced proteins. Simply accounting for protein intake without considering AA profile and digestibility could overestimate protein […]
