The metabolism and requirements for magnesium are still insufficiently understood. In the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations from 2012, a recommended intake was set based on balance studies. However, the average requirement (AR) was not set. Functional indicators of magnesium status have been lacking. This scoping review reveals new research activity related to the beneficial effect of magnesium intake on several health outcomes (cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers). Based on meta-analyses of cohort studies and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), as well as on plausible mechanisms, a causal association is suggested. However, the optimal intake cannot be set based on these study designs and no new balance studies were found.</span></p>","PeriodicalId":12119,"journal":{"name":"Food & Nutrition Research","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138540634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antioxidant defense system includes both endogenously produced antioxidants and dietary antioxidants. The consumption of dietary antioxidants has long been speculated to be important for the defense against cellular oxidation, inflammation, and other disease-related processes. In addition to the well-known dietary antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, β-carotene, and selenium, whole plants and plant-products contain numerous compounds, called phytochemicals, with antioxidant properties. These phytochemicals are potentially important modulators of oxidative stress and have been linked to health beneficial effects. However, the mechanisms underlying these potential health beneficial effects are not well understood. Foods containing high levels of phytochemicals with antioxidant properties include berries, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts and seeds. The aim of this scoping review is to describe the evidence of the role of specific antioxidants and phytochemicals, but not foods rich in these substances, for health outcomes. Based on a literature search from 2011 to March 2022, we identified eight meta-analyses related to the current topic. These studies include evidence of the effect of resveratrol (present mainly in berries, grapes, and peanuts) on health outcomes related to cardiometabolic risk, blood pressure, obesity, oxidative stress, adipokines, inflammation, and bone quality. In summary, resveratrol did elicit several health beneficial effects. However, the magnitude of effects was low, and whether the effects are related to the redox properties of resveratrol is not known. Even though there is a large body of evidence linking a plant-based diet rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals to beneficial health effects, the role of specific antioxidants and phytochemicals is still unclear.</span></p>","PeriodicalId":12119,"journal":{"name":"Food & Nutrition Research","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138540660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Copper imbalances have been linked to the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases. During the last decade, a number of meta-analyses and systematic reviews have been published shedding light on the association between copper imbalances and some of these pathologies.

Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence.

The discovery of vitamin D receptors and the activation of biological active vitamin D in numerous tissues and organs in the body has given support to hypothesis on vitamin D having extra-skeletal functions. The scientific literature on vitamin D and several health outcomes is high in numbers and has been increasing exponentially the last two decades. However, despite this large body of scientific publications and improvement in study quality, vitamin D supplementation has not shown to give additional health benefits when status is in sufficient range (i.e. circulating 25 hydroxyvitamin D &gt;50 nmol/L).

The health effects of different types of carbohydrates vary and there is a need to update the evidence regarding specific carbohydrates and their effects on health-related outcomes.&#x0D; Objective: The aim of this scoping review was to describe the evidence for the role of total carbohydrates (fiber excluded), glycemic index (GI) or glycemic load (GL) and added or free sugars for health-related outcomes as a basis for setting and updating dietary reference values for the Nordic Nutrition Recommendation (NNR) 2023.&#x0D; Method: We included evidence from several qualified systematic reviews (the World Cancer Research Fund, the European Food Safety Authority, the World Health Organization, the United States Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, the United Kingdom Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition) identified by the NNR project in line with the protocol description.&#x0D; Results: There is limited evidence that total carbohydrate intake (fiber excluded) outside of the current recommended range of 45–60% of energy is associated with health-related outcomes. There were no consistent benefits on clinical outcomes when changing the GI of a diet. High intake of dietary sugars is well known to be associated with dental caries. There was evidence from randomized control trials on surrogate disease endpoints, for a positive and causal relationship between the intake of added and free sugars and risk of some chronic metabolic diseases with moderate level of certainty for obesity and dyslipidaemia. The level of certainty was high for an association between high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and risk of several chronic metabolic diseases.&#x0D; Conclusion: While there is limited evidence that total carbohydrates and GI and GL of the diet are related to health outcomes, the evidence suggests that high intakes of added and free sugars are related to detrimental health effects. In addition, with increasing intake of added and free sugars, there is less room for healthy foods and micronutrients, which is especially important for those with low energy intake, such as children.","PeriodicalId":12119,"journal":{"name":"Food & Nutrition Research","volume":"87 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135091450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Setting recommendations for vitamin B12 intake has proven to be difficult, as uptake of vitamin B12 varies substantially, the clinical deficiency symptoms are often diffuse, and there is no clear agreement on the decision limits for vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency is reported to be particularly common among pregnant women and infants, despite the fact that less than 1% of Norwegian pregnant women have a cobalamin intake below the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2012-recommended level of 2.0 µg/day. In addition, the assumption that breast milk contains sufficient vitamin B12 for optimal health and neurodevelopment during the first 6 months of life does not comply with the high prevalence of insufficient vitamin B12 status in this age group.
