Monica L Castro-Acosta,Leanne Smith,Rosalind J. Miller,Danielle I. McCarthy,Jonathan A. Farrimond,Wendy L. Hall +5 more
TL;DR: Consumption of blackcurrant extract in amounts roughly equivalent to 100-g blackcurrants reduced postprandial glycemia, insulinemia and incretin secretion, which suggests that inclusion ofblackcurrant polyphenols in foods may provide cardio-metabolic health benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food additive emulsifiers: a review of their role in foods, legislation and classifications, presence in food supply, dietary exposure, and safety assessment
TL;DR: Current research on the health effects of food additive emulsifiers are limited to in vitro and murine studies and small, acute studies in humans, and future research should focus on controlled human trials of longer duration.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether isoenergetic substitution of whole almonds for control snacks with the macronutrient profile of average snack intakes, had any impact on markers of cardiometabolic health in adults aged 30-70 y at above-average risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Tree nut snack consumption is associated with better diet quality and CVD risk in the UK adult population: National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) 2008-2014
TL;DR: TNS consumers report better dietary quality and consumption was associated with lower CVD risk factors, and encouraging replacement of less healthy snacks with TNS should be encouraged as part of general dietary guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole almond consumption is associated with better diet quality and cardiovascular disease risk factors in the UK adult population: National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) 2008-2017
TL;DR: Almond intake is low in the UK population, but consumption was associated with better dietary quality and lower CVD risk factors, and Habitual consumption of whole almonds should be encouraged as part of a healthy diet.
