A randomized trial of high-dairy-protein, variable-carbohydrate diets and exercise on body composition in adults with obesity

Compared to a healthy control diet, energy-restricted high-protein diets containing different proportions of fat and CHO confer no advantage to weight loss or change in body composition in the presence of an appropriate exercise stimulus.

Enough Already With the Bone Broth Hype

There's been very little actual research into bone broth's nutritional benefits. Kamal Patel, director of Examine, a scientific group that investigates nutritional claims about food and supplements, says the only actual study of bone broth he's found is this one—from 1934. What's more, says nutritionist Andy Bellatti, "There are so many different ways to do it that it's hard to make claims about bone broth in general." The nutritional value depends on many variables, including the kind and amount of bones, the length of time it simmers, and the other ingredients.

Guy Winch: Why we all need to practice emotional first aid

Loneliness creates a deep psychological wound, one that distorts our perceptions and scrambles our thinking. It makes us believe that those around us care much less than they actually do. It make us really afraid to reach out, because why set yourself up for rejection and heartache when your heart is already aching more than you can stand? I was in the grips of real loneliness back then, but I was surrounded by people all day, so it never occurred to me. But loneliness is defined purely subjectively. It depends solely on whether you feel emotionally or socially disconnected from those around you. And I did. There is a lot of research on loneliness, and all of it is horrifying. Loneliness won't just make you miserable, it will kill you. I'm not kidding. Chronic loneliness increases your likelihood of an early death by 14 percent. Loneliness causes high blood pressure, high cholesterol. It even suppress the functioning of your immune system, making you vulnerable to all kinds of illnesses and diseases. In fact, scientists have concluded that taken together, chronic loneliness poses as significant a risk for your longterm health and longevity as cigarette smoking. Now cigarette packs come with warnings saying, "This could kill you." But loneliness doesn't. And that's why it's so important that we prioritize our psychological health, that we practice emotional hygiene. Because you can't treat a psychological wound if you don't even know you're injured. Loneliness isn't the only psychological wound that distorts our perceptions and misleads us.

Think we can end California’s drought by eating differently? Think again

Instead of asking eaters to wade through this complexity every time they pick up a fork, we need policies that make water expensive for farmers in places where it’s scarce. A market price for water would simply eliminate inefficient crops.

What Milk Should I Drink?

If what we are looking for in food is resiliency, cows and almond trees might not be the worst candidates. Fernald pointed out that both evolved in drought-prone areas, and in times of stress they will still produce, just not as much. Her recommendations are to find a farmer with lower output (there will be less waste in the system), to get comfortable paying more, and to stop worrying about the milk. The debate over various milks, she says, grows out of misplaced frustration with the industrial food system and the bad choices it forces us into. “We are making a passionate commitment to something we made up,” she said. “On the dairy-versus-almonds thing, if you’re so passionate, just drink your coffee black.”

That sugar problem: sweet poison or paranoia?

"To single out sugar-sweetened beverages as a leading factor of chronic disease oversimplifies a complex public health issue and misleads people to ignore the concept of the total diet," says chief executive Geoff Parker.
