Consumption of fried foods and weight gain in a Mediterranean cohort: the SUN project.
The consumption of fried foods is believed to be linked with obesity and higher weight gain, however, the evidence from long-term randomized trials or prospective epidemiological studies is scarce. Therefore, the aim of our study was to prospectively evaluate the association between the consumption of fried foods and weight change and the incidence of overweight/obesity in a Mediterranean cohort. ⋯ In this Mediterranean prospective cohort, a more frequent consumption of fried foods at baseline was associated with a higher risk of subsequently developing overweight/obesity during follow-up.

Randomized Controlled TrialFlaxseed dietary fibers suppress postprandial lipemia and appetite sensation in young men.
Dietary fibers (DF) are linked to a reduced risk of life-style diseases, which relate to their physiological effects in the gastrointestinal tract. The aim was to examine whether flaxseed DF-enriched meals suppress postprandial lipemia and reduce appetite. ⋯ These findings suggest that flaxseed DF may suppress postprandial lipemia and appetite although subsequent energy intake was not affected.
