The findings of this one suggest that about 70% of new type 2 diabetes cases globally were attributable to suboptimal intake of 11 dietary factors in 2018.

Namely: insufficient intake of whole grains, yogurt, fruit, nuts & seeds, and non-starchy vegetables and excess intake of refined rice, refined wheat, processed meats, unprocessed red meat, sugar-sweetened beverages, potatoes and fruit juice.

- Excess intake of harmful dietary factors appeared to contribute to a greater percentage of this burden globally than did insufficient intake of protective dietary factors.

- Among individual dietary factors, the largest number of estimated cases globally were attributable to insufficient whole grains (26.1%), excess refined rice and wheat (24.6%), excess processed meat (20.3%) and excess unprocessed red meat (20.1%).

- Large heterogeneity by world region, nation and within-country demographics was observed.

The findings of this one suggest that intermittent exogenous ketosis may be a potent nutritional strategy to facilitate recovery from strenuous endurance exercise, thereby stimulating beneficial muscular adaptations.

- The primary aim of this study was to characterize the mechanistic effect of ketone ester ingestion on muscular angiogenesis.

The study investigated whether ketone ester ingestion could increase pro-angiogenic factors and thereby stimulate muscular angiogenesis during a three-week endurance training-overload period involving 10 training sessions/week in healthy, recreationally active, male volunteers.

In this one, a higher adherence to the EAT‐Lancet Healthy Reference Diet was associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease but was not associated with lower risk of total stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke.

- Higher adherence to the Healthy Reference Diet as proposed by the EAT‐Lancet Commission was associated with a 14% lower risk of CVD and a 12% lower risk of CHD.

- No significant association was found for total stroke, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke, although the number of cases was relatively small for stroke subtypes and the magnitude of associations was comparable to those of CVD and CHD.

Interestingly, in this one, caffeine and catechins ingested alongside polymerized polyphenols from oolong tea lowered postprandial glucose, insulin and C-peptide responses following a high-fat meal challenge.

- The objective of the study was to assess whether polymerized polyphenols from oolong tea ingested alone or with caffeine and catechins lowers postprandial lipemia.

- 50 healthy adults completed 4 oral lipid tolerance tests in a placebo-controlled randomized, crossover design.

The findings of this one may suggest that both individuals with very low and very high levels of circulating IGF-1 may be at an increased risk of cancer mortality, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality.

- Circulating levels IGF-1 exhibited a U-shaped relationship with all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular mortality.

- For cardiovascular mortality, the U-shaped relationship was stronger in men and in participants who were older than 55 years at baseline.

The findings of this one suggest that blood flow restriction accelerates fatigue but does not increase the signaling events and muscle growth responses during low-load resistance exercise.

- The purpose of this study was to examine if reduced blood flow during exercise alters the acute signaling and training-induced muscle hypertrophy responses when exercise is performed to task failure.

- In the present study, the acute signaling responses 2 hours after low load-resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction performed to task failure were investigated.
