Preliminary results from a trial investigating whether time-restricted eating influences weight loss suggest limiting your caloric intake may be more important than what time you eat. The research, not yet published or peer-reviewed, will be presented at the upcoming American Heart Association’s virtual Scientific Sessions meeting.

New research has found diets higher in foods known to contribute to chronic inflammation can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. The research suggests certain pro-inflammatory foods amplify the development of heart disease.

A new study is suggesting a strong coffee first thing in the morning, especially following a night of disrupted sleep, can impair the body’s glucose response. The researchers recommend coffee should consumed in the morning after food, and not before.

A new study is challenging popular dietary dogma by suggesting a common type of intermittent fasting does not work for weight loss. The clinical trial found the 16:8 method of eating no more effective for losing weight than eating throughout the day.

The results of a clinical trial find introducing gluten into a baby's diet from the age of four months may reduce their risk of developing celiac disease. The researchers stress larger trials are necessary before any broad dietary recommendations are suggested.

An investigation by scientists from the University of Tübingen has found that foxes may have been feeding off human scraps for over 40,000 years, based on a study of several sites in southern Germany.

A new study from researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago is offering the first clinical trial data comparing the effects of two types of time-restricted feeding diets, a four-hour eating window (20:4) and a six-hour eating window (18:6).

New research suggests a high-fat diet and antibiotics work together to promote a gut microbiome imbalance that can lead to bowel inflammation. The study sheds light on the causal mechanism by which environmental factors can trigger IBD.

Scientists recently discovered the liver releases a hormone to suppress consumption of sweet foods once a person has consumed high volumes of sugar. A new study has homed in on exactly how this mechanism works, and where in the brain it takes place.

There may be new hope for people prone to allergic reactions of the skin. According to a new study, one serving of black raspberries per day could minimize the effects.

New research from the University of Colorado Boulder has offered some of the clearest evidence to date showing how the gut microbiome produces a metabolite that, over time, contributes to age-related declines in cardiovascular health.

The results of a trial investigating fasting as an adjunct to chemotherapy have been published, finding the simple dietary intervention can improve the outcome of cancer chemotherapy and potentially reduce cellular damage associated with the therapy.
