En españa, Sanidad hace pública su base de datos de propiedades nutricionales.- Se pueden consultar calorías, grasa e hidratos de productos de gran consumo
El Ministerio de Sanidad ha hecho pública su Base de Datos Española de Composición de Alimentos (Bedca), un sistema que permite consultar las características de ingredientes y platos comunes en la dieta española. La Agencia Española de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición (AESAN) es la encargada de su mantenimiento. De momento, hay 500 productos en el sistema, pero se espera que para finales de año se haya llegado al millar.

      La información disponible incluye composición (grasas, tipos de ellas, sal) y propiedades energéticas (calorías), entre otros datos (hay 39 cuantificados). El contenido está en español y en inglés.
      Hoy, primer día de conexión, el sistema está dando problemas.

      Los no fumadores engordan menos

      Un nuevo estudio relaciona el tabaquismo con la ganancia de peso, y concluye que las personas fumadoras activas, no sólo las que lo dejan, engordan más que las no fumadoras. Después de cuatro años de análisis en la Universidad de Navarra, las personas que menos engordaron fueron las que nunca habían fumado.

      Light Therapy holds promise as a treatment for Alzheimer's Disease

      A new article, conducted by Lili Zang and colleagues from Weifang Medical University School of Nursing in Shandong Province, China, discusses a meta-analysis of 15 high-quality trials that investigated the impact of light therapy on individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The meta-analysis included 598 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease, and it covered 15 randomized controlled trials conducted in seven different countries. Those trials were published between 2005 and 2022. Sleep Improvement Light therapy led to significant improvements in several sleep measures. It notably enhanced sleep efficiency, increased interdaily stability, and reduced intradaily variability, all of which are indicators of better sleep quality. Light therapy was associated with a reduction in agitation, depression, and caregiver burden among individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. A significant advantage over usual care was shown in reducing the severity of psychobehavioral symptoms, as assessed...

      Sweetener Reformulated Biscuits: A Step Towards Blood Glucose Control

      In a recent study led by Catherine Gibbons from the University of Leeds, the effects of sweetener reformulated biscuits on appetite and endocrine responses in adults with overweight or obesity were evaluated. This study, conducted between 2021 and 2022 in England and France, sheds light on the potential benefits of substituting sucrose with sweeteners like neotame and stevia rebaudioside M (StRebM). The findings suggest that while the reformulated biscuits yielded similar appetite responses compared to sucrose-sweetened ones, they demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of post-meal insulin and glucose levels. Participants consuming biscuits with neotame and StRebM experienced lower postprandial insulin levels compared to those consuming sucrose, indicating a potential positive impact on blood glucose control. This is particularly noteworthy in the context of individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, it's essential to acknowledge the limitations highlighted ...
