NED Feature Article - Modern Food Systems and the rise of Medicalised Weight Loss: Cardiovascular Consequences

Read the article here: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/4b50f0f00c.html

This article from one of our NED Experts, Chloe Steele highlights the role of ultra-processed foods in the development of cardiovascular disease and how important it is to focus on upstream drivers of disease as well as downstream treatments. Many thanks to Chloe and to Professor Justin Roberts for providing editorial support.

➡️ Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading global causes of morbidity and mortality despite advances in medical, nutritional and lifestyle management. Concurrently, ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has increased, which has been associated with obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular events. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have shown significant reductions in body weight and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in high-risk populations; however, concerns remain regarding their long-term use. This review aimed to evaluate the data surrounding UPF consumption on cardiovascular health and the effect of GLP-1RAs on CVD....

Weekly NED Alert - Gut microbial metabolism of bile acids modifies the effect of Mediterranean diet interventions on cardiometabolic risk in a randomized controlled trial. With Expert Review from Ana-Paula Agrela

Bile acids (BAs) undergo microbial changes from primary BAs (PBAs) to secondary BAs (SBAs) in the gut, which may exert hormone-like effects on processes involved in the development of cardiometabolic disease. They may also interact with different dietary interventions. However, much of the evidence supporting this is from animal studies and there is a need for robust studies in humans.

This randomised control trial of 284 individuals from the DIRECT-PLUS study aimed to investigate gut microbial metabolism of BAs and their implications for predicting cardiometabolic risk.

The results showed that 14 faecal BAs were positively associated with body adiposity and serum biomarkers of lipid metabolism. Baseline levels of BAs determined the beneficial effects of the MedDiet, with those with lower 12-dehydrocholic acid (12-DHCA) and taurocholic acid having significantly pronounced improvements in body mass index when on the MedDiet. Levels of triglycerides were also significantly lower with lower levels of 12-DHCA and lithocholic acid.

Interestingly, there was also shown to be a bidirectional relationship between PBAs and the microbial community, with the gut microbiome converting PBAs to SBAs and these exerting selective pressure on microbial populations.

It was concluded that faecal BAs may be novel biomarkers for predicting adiposity and lipid profiles, and may have a role in differential responses to the MedDiet.
