TL;DR: The role of herbs and spices in health benefits is discussed in this paper, where the authors consider the use of herbs as a source of antioxidants to combat oxidation in a healthy diet.

TL;DR: An energy-restricted, high-protein, low-fat diet provides nutritional and metabolic benefits that are equal to and sometimes greater than those observed with a high-carbohydrate diet.

TL;DR: Dietary polyphenols may inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase, inhibit glucose absorption in the intestine by sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 (SGLT1), stimulate insulin secretion and reduce hepatic glucose output, and have anti-inflammatory effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the nature of emulsion structuring within the digestive tract and how it affects the dynamics of fat digestion, and demonstrate that partial coalescence resulted in a dramatic reduction in triglyceride absorption, in part because the network of fat crystals provided the agglomerates with an internal scaffold to resist redispersion as they passed through the pylorus.

TL;DR: Under planned isoenergetic conditions, as expected, both dietary patterns resulted in similar weight loss and changes in body composition and the LC diet may offer clinical benefits to obese persons with insulin resistance.
