TL;DR: The data indicate that among women, history of diabetes is associated with dramatically increased risks of death from all causes and fatal CHD, and the combination of diabetes and prior CHD identifies particularly high-risk women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the association between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in women was examined, and the results showed that regular consumption of SSBs is associated with a higher risk of CHD even after other unhealthful lifestyle or dietary factors are accounted for.

TL;DR: This review focuses on providing current information about this trace mineral’s specific mechanisms of action and clinical trials in patients with diabetes, and elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which chromium supplements affect carbohydrate metabolism in vivo is necessary.

TL;DR: Evidence from observational studies indicates inverse associations of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D with risks of death due to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other causes, and Supplementation with vitamin D3 significantly reduces overall mortality among older adults; however, before any widespread supplementation, further investigations are required.

TL;DR: Findings continue to support an inverse relation between polyunsaturated fat intake and CHD risk, particularly among younger or overweight women, and trans-fat intake was associated with increased risk of CHD, particularly for younger women.
