Modern food systems—designed to produce convenience foods that tend to have high inflammatory potential—exacerbate environmental degradation and shape the interwoven challenges of climate, nutrition, and health. Over the past 3 decades, extreme weather has worsened, and poor diets have led to more inflammation-related health problems—2 parallel trends that are exposing system-wide weaknesses and harming global health. Is there evidence of a connection between environmental degradation and inflammation? The medical and environmental literatures were searched by combining “climate change” OR “environmental factors” OR “food systems” AND “inflammation” AND “diet.” All permutations of these terms were used, and all terms were searched as both text words and MeSH terms. The literature on inflammation and health is vast (∼750,000 articles in the National Library of Medicine [NLM]) as is the literature on diet and health (&gt;1.8 million articles in the NLM). Interest in global climate change is growing (∼39,000 references in the NLM and &gt;650,000 references in the Web of Science Core Collection). Although the literature at the intersections of diet and inflammation with either climate change or, especially, food systems is small, evidence points to a connection between global climate changes and inflammation operating mainly through food systems. Large-scale industrialized agriculture and other environmental changes that are heating the planet produce food commodities that are causally related to inflammatory processes within organisms. The interplay between individuals’ dietary decisions and system-level decisions regarding food production and processing sets the stage for deepening understanding of connections revealed in the literature and developing a multifaceted approach to address these critical problems that encompass individual behavior change and collaborative initiatives across sectors to effect meaningful change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7349,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition","volume":"16 10","pages":"Article 100504"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145008659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this dietary xenomiR hypothesis remains controversial, given numerous inconsistencies and conflicting evidence regarding stability, bioavailability, and functionality of xenomiRs in mammals. Despite promising findings, including reports of plant-derived miRNAs influencing mammalian gene expression in vitro and in animal models, evidence remains inconclusive in humans. Several independent investigations have reported contradictory findings, emphasizing reproducibility lack in identifying and validating the transfer of xenomiRs from plants to mammals, which has raised concerns about the robustness, reliability, and biological significance of some results. Additionally, no direct molecular evidence currently demonstrates that plant xenomiRs bind to mammalian silencing machinery. Although the concept of plant-derived xenomiRs holds significant potential, future research must address unresolved technical and biological limitations. If validated, this hypothesis may represent a novel avenue for epigenetic modulation through dietary intervention in precision medicine and personalized nutrition. This comprehensive narrative review critically provides an overview of the dietary xenomiR hypothesis, specifically focusing on those derived from edible plants. We summarize the current evidence regarding xenomiR cross-kingdom communication potential, and we discuss technical and biological challenges that impede their validation. We also explore the speculative yet plausible scenario that dietary miRNAs may act locally on the microbiota rather than systemically.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7349,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition","volume":"16 10","pages":"Article 100510"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145058839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) have been linked to health outcomes through microbiome-dependent and microbiome-independent mechanisms. To investigate the microbiome-independent effects of individual HMOs and their role in human health, it is necessary to understand their systemic availability. This narrative review focuses on the systemic availability of HMOs and summarizes studies that investigated the presence of HMOs in blood and urine following oral intake in humans. We searched PubMed using the following terms individually or in combination: human milk oligosaccharides, HMO, 2′-fucosyllactose, 3-fucosyllactose, 3′-sialyllactose, 6′-sialyllactose, difucosyllactose, lacto-<em>N</em>-tetraose, and lacto-<em>N</em>-neotetraose.

We identified 15 human studies. They varied in design, populations (healthy infants, infants with medical indications, and adults), administration (breastfeeding, formula, and supplement), ingested dose, sampling time points, and analytical methods. HMOs were absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted in urine, as they were detected in the blood and urine of breastfed infants, infants receiving HMO–fortified formula, and adults receiving HMO supplements, demonstrating their systemic availability. Most orally ingested HMOs appeared in blood, but some structures were not absorbed. Studies also reported that blood and urine concentrations of HMOs correlated with increasing doses. Some studies showed a difference between the number of HMOs ingested and the number of oligosaccharides found in urine. Current evidence supports the systemic availability of HMOs in both infants and adults, but absorption kinetics, rates, mechanisms, and metabolic fate remain unknown. Further research investigating the systemic availability of HMOs is needed to improve our understanding of the microbiome-independent effects of HMOs on human health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7349,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition","volume":"16 9","pages":"Article 100488"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144805396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, cancer therapy also induces various gastrointestinal (GI) side-effects that are dose-limiting, reduce quality of life, and potentially lead to treatment failure. Standard medical nutrition therapy for patients undergoing cancer treatment focuses on preventing weight loss and malnutrition but not reducing GI symptoms. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess efficacy of nutrition therapy to reduce GI side-effects during cancer treatment via systematic review and meta-analysis. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus and PubMed databases. A meta-analysis was performed on articles meeting inclusion criteria to estimate the pooled effect size on GI symptoms, separated by nutrition intervention type (nutrient supplementation, oral nutrition supplement, or dietary counseling). Further subgroup analyses were conducted based on cancer type, cancer therapy, and nutrient intervention. All statistical analyses were performed in Stata/MP version 17.0 using 2-sided tests with <em>P</em> &lt; 0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance. A total of 15,556 articles were captured by the search algorithm, and 139 studies met inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. Articles reported 12 different GI symptoms, resulting in 151 total meta-analyses across symptom, cancer treatment, and nutrition intervention subtypes. Meta analyses indicated that collectively (all interventions combined), nutrient supplementation reduced nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea incidence (all <em>P</em> &lt; 0.001). Oral nutrition supplements had no effects on GI symptoms (all <em>P</em> &gt; 0.05). Dietary counseling reduced constipation and diarrhea incidence. Although 9 individual nutrient supplementation interventions reduced 8 symptoms, probiotic supplementation had some of the strongest effects on abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea incidence. This meta-analysis supports implementation of specific medical nutrition therapies to treat GI symptoms during cancer therapy and identifies those requiring additional investigation.

Crucial developments enabling understanding of the complex interactions between dietary patterns and health were made in the 20th century, owing in part to improvements in in vitro cell culture methods. Such 2-dimensional (2D) cell lines remain extensively used to study the molecular mechanisms through which nutrients regulate cellular homeostasis. Nevertheless, they do not recapitulate the in vivo environment and the complexity associated with tissues and organs, which invariably contain multiple cell types. Thus, findings from 2D cell cultures may not be directly applicable or representative of the in vivo situation. By contrast, organoids are 3D tissue structures capable of mimicking structural, functional, and multicellular features of an intact organ, and are becoming increasingly used to carry out in-depth cell and molecular level studies. In particular, the use of intestinal organoids in food and nutrition research has expanded in recent years due to the greater suitability of organoids relative to 2D cultures for investigating nutrient uptake, transport, metabolism, and host-microbiome interactions. In the present review, we summarize the emerging role and contributions of organoids, with emphasis on intestinal organoids, in nutrition research and intestinal health. We further highlight current limitations of organoid cultures and discuss potential future strategies to improve the use of organoids as a preferred model for investigations in the nutritional sciences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7349,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Nutrition","volume":"16 10","pages":"Article 100489"},"PeriodicalIF":9.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144980733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
