Journal ArticleDOI
Atkins and other low-carbohydrate diets: hoax or an effective tool for weight loss?
TL;DR: A systematic review of low-carbohydrate diets found that the weight loss achieved is associated with the duration of the diet and restriction of energy intake, but not with restriction of carbohydrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Louise A. Beveridge,Allan D. Struthers,Faisel Khan,Rolf Jorde,Robert Scragg,Helen M. Macdonald,Jessica A. Alvarez,Rebecca S. Boxer,Andrea Dalbeni,Adam D. Gepner,Nicole M. Isbel,Thomas Larsen,Jitender Nagpal,William Petchey,Hans Stricker,Franziska Strobel,Vin Tangpricha,Laura Toxqui,M. Pilar Vaquero,Louise Wamberg,Armin Zittermann,Miles D. Witham +21 more
TL;DR: Vitamin D supplementation is ineffective as an agent for lowering BP and thus should not be used as an antihypertensive agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotope fingerprinting: a novel method for identifying plant, fungal, or bacterial origins of amino acids
TL;DR: It is suggested that 13C fingerprints of amino acids could provide a powerful in situ assay of the biosynthetic sources of amino acid and a potential new tool for understanding nutritional linkages in food webs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracing Carbon Sources through Aquatic and Terrestrial Food Webs Using Amino Acid Stable Isotope Fingerprinting
Thomas Larsen,Marc Ventura,Marc Ventura,Nils Andersen,Diane M. O'Brien,Uwe Piatkowski,Matthew D. McCarthy +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of assessing the major carbon sources at the base of the food web was demonstrated for freshwater, pelagic, and estuarine consumers; consumer delta C-13 patterns of essential amino acids largely matched those of the dominant primary producers in each system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Diet, Obesity and Genes (Diogenes) Dietary Study in eight European countries – a comprehensive design for long-term intervention
Thomas Larsen,Stine-Mathilde Dalskov,M. A. van Baak,Susan A. Jebb,Anthony Kafatos,Andreas Pfeiffer,José Alfredo Martínez,Teodora Handjieva-Darlenska,Marie Kunešová,Claus Holst,Wim H. M. Saris,Arne Astrup +11 more
TL;DR: Despite major cultural and dietary regional differences in Europe, interventions addressing effects of dietary factors are feasible with a reasonable attrition and ‘results’ will be limited to baseline characteristics of the study populations included.
