A study of severe malnutrition in Malawian children illustrates the need for appropriate lipid nutrition to protect the brain
Energetic and nutritional constraints on infant brain development
Modern organic and broiler chickens sold for human consumption provide more energy from fat than protein
Objective In 1976, the Royal College of Physicians and the British Cardiac Society recommended eating less fatty red meat and more poultry instead because it was lean. However, the situation has changed since that time, with a striking increase in fat content of the standard broiler chicken. The aim of the present study was to report a snapshot of data on fat in chickens now sold to the public. Design Samples were obtained randomly between 2004 a…
Docosahexaenoic acid and shore‐based diets in hominin encephalization
Carlson and Kingston ([ 2007 ]: Am J Hum Biol 19:132–141) propose that preformed dietary docosahexaenoic acid (an omega‐3 fatty acid in fish) did not have a significant role in hominin encephalization. Their position hinges on claiming that humans are able to make sufficient docosahexaenoic acid from the plant‐based “parent” omega‐3 fatty acid—α‐linolenic acid. They also suggest that hominin fish consumption occurred too late to have materially i…
The nutrient intakes of mothers of low birth weight babies – a comparison of ethnic groups in East London, UK
The objective of this paper was to compare the nutrient intakes of mothers of different ethnic origins after they had given birth to a low birth weight (LBW) baby (< 2.5 kg). A total of 165 participants from East London, UK completed a prospective 7-day diet diary using household measures, between 8 and 12 weeks post-partum. The data were originally collected as baseline data prior to two separate nutrition intervention studies and were combined …
Brain-specific lipids from marine, lacustrine, or terrestrial food resources
Socioeconomic deprivation and health in Glasgow and the west of Scotland--a study of cancer incidence among male residents of hostels for the single homeless
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of cancer among homeless men in Glasgow. DESIGN: Descriptive study of cancer incidence in a defined, though individually unidentifiable, population cohort. SETTING: Glasgow and the West of Scotland Region. PARTICIPANTS: Male residents of 10 hostels for the single homeless in Glasgow, open for all or part of the period 1975-93. Estimated total man-years of risk 21,820. MAIN RESULTS: After adjusting for a…
