Plant-Based Dietary Patterns and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in US Men and Women: Results from Three Prospective Cohort Studies.

TL;DR: It is suggested that plant-based diets, especially when rich in high-quality plant foods, are associated with substantially lower risk of developing T2D, which supports current recommendations to shift to diets rich in healthy plant Foods, with lower intake of less healthy plant and animal foods.

Intracellular Delivery by Membrane Disruption: Mechanisms, Strategies, and Concepts.

TL;DR: Techniques for membrane disruption-based intracellular delivery from 1911 until the present achieve rapid, direct, and universal delivery of almost any cargo molecule or material that can be dispersed in solution.

Plant-based diets and cardiovascular health.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current evidence base examining the associations of plant-based diets with cardiovascular endpoints, and discusses the potential biological mechanisms underlying their health effects, practical recommendations and applications of this research, and directions for future research.

Whole grains and pulses: a comparison of the nutritional and health benefits.

TL;DR: In this article, a consistent inverse association between whole grain intake and the risk of chronic disease was found in a large-scale observational and intervention trial, and it was shown that the nutritional and phytochemical components of pulses coupled with those of whole grains suggest a potential synergistic effect.

Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease

TL;DR: The fourth edition of Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease follows the organization established in previous volumes, i.e., "Normal Nutrition," "Nutrition in Disease," and "Nut Nutrition in Periods of Physiologic Stress" Each of the 43 chapters is, in essence, a review of a given topic, with primary emphasis on nutritional principles rather than dietetics as mentioned in this paper.

Modern nutrition in health and disease

TL;DR: The concept of nutrition as a clinical subject has reached maturity and is well presented in an excellent book edited by two prominent nutritionists, Drs.

Magnesium Intake and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Men and Women

TL;DR: The findings suggest a significant inverse association between magnesium intake and diabetes risk, which supports the dietary recommendation to increase consumption of major food sources of magnesium, such as whole grains, nuts, and green leafy vegetables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of magnesium in insulin action, diabetes and cardio-metabolic syndrome X.

TL;DR: A growing body of studies suggest that intracellular Mg may play a key role in modulating insulin-mediated glucose uptake and vascular tone, and it is suggested that a reduced intrace cellular Mg concentration might be the missing link helping to explain the epidemiological association between NIDDM and hypertension.
