Ultra-processed or minimally processed diets following healthy dietary guidelines on weight and cardiometabolic health

This study examined ultra-processed food diets versus minimally processed food diets following the UK Eatwell Guide, on health outcomes using a randomised crossover trial.

The main aim of the study was to compare the percent of weight change between the diets. The secondary aims were to compare changes in body composition, anthropometrics, cardiometabolic and appetite-related outcomes between the ultra-processed food diets and minimally processed food diets.

Effect of five dietary emulsifiers on inflammation, permeability, and the gut microbiome

This study examined the effects of an emulsifier-free diet (EFD) and emulsifier supplementation on intestinal permeability and inflammation, gut microbiota and cardiometabolic markers.

The study used a randomised placebo-controlled trial design. The participants had an EFD for two weeks. The participants then continued on an EFD for four weeks with the addition of either polysorbate-80, carrageenan, soy lecithin, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), native rice starch (NRS), or no additives supplied through brownies.

📰Council in South Wales could be first to ban unhealthy food adverts in some public spaces📰 ⁠
⁠
Vale of Glamorgan council in South Wales could soon become the first council in the country to ban unhealthy foods advertisements in some public spaces.

Vale of Glamorgan council stated that it would decide regarding the proposed ban next month, which would prevent foods high in fat, sugar, and salt from being promoted on roadside boards and at bus stops.

If approved by cabinet members, the ban would also prevent these products from being marketed on the council's website.
