Malnutrition is associated with increased surgical risk and poor outcomes. The authors support IV preoperative nutrition at least 10 days prior to surgery and for 7 days post surgery. This therapy reduced inflammation and oxidative stress.
Good review of the current data on the role of nutrition in Parkinson's disease. Take home, a lot of data is conflicting. But the figure at the end does well to summarize: diet rich in polyphenols in fruits/veggies, carotenoids, resveratrol, Vitamin C, D, E, and MUFA and PUFA are neuroprotective compared to dairy being neurodegenerative.
Long-term DPs play a large role in determining the selective environment that the gut microbiota faces, ultimately influencing the composition and diversity of taxa maintained within the gut microbial community
Americans consuming unrestricted diets maintained less diverse fecal microbiota than those of individuals adhering to a plant-rich diet with restricted caloric intake
Experiments in mice have shown that multigenerational exposure to a Western diet poor in “microbiota-accessible carbohydrates” can lead to extirpation of specific bacterial lineages
Diet is the key to gut microbe diversity. Gut microbes are key to maintaining optimal cellular metabolism. Nutrition can be a prescription for improving and reprogramming gut bacteria.
study claims that organic foods provide no additional nutritional value above non-organic foods. Problem is, that is not the reason to push organic. Elimination of xenoestrogens, hormones, and other toxins is.
Meta-analysis finds no improvement with cardiovascular risk from low saturated fats. This is not the first study to show this. The weakness of this is that this study is a meta-analysis. This needs to be taken in context and applied individually. The take home is that universal restriction of saturated fats is not the holy grail of nutrition.

A range of nutrients, including several amino acids, antioxidant vitamins and minerals, ω-3 fatty acids, and nucleotides, are able to modulate inflammation and the associated oxidative stress, and maintain or improve immune function
parenteral glutamine is recommended in patients receiving parenteral nutrition
It is estimated that approximately 30% of children and adolescents in the United States and about 15–30% of those in Europe can be classified as overweight or obese
An increasing body of evidence now suggests that the nutritional environment encountered in utero and the early postnatal life may elicit permanent alterations in adipose tissue structure or function and, thereby, programme the individual’s propensity to later obesity
The composition of fatty acids in the Western diets has shifted toward an increasing dominance of n-6 relative to n-3 LCPUFAs over the past decades.9,10 This shift is also reflected in the fatty acid composition of breast milk
Evidence from animal studies suggests that the n-6 LCPUFA arachidonic acid promotes adipose tissue deposition, whereas the n-3 LCPUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid seem to exert an opposite effect
Overall, no effect of supplementation was found on BMI in preschool (<5 years) and school-aged (6–12 years) children
increased adiposity, once established in childhood, tends to track into adulthood
Many studies have shown that even children <2 years with a high BMI are at increased risk of developing obesity later in life
The acquisition of fat cells early in life appears to be an irreversible process
Evidence from cell culture and animal studies suggests that early exposure to n-3 LCPUFAs has the potential to limit adipose tissue deposition mainly by attenuating the production of the arachidonic acid metabolite prostacyclin, which has been shown to enhance adipogenesis
In conclusion, there is currently no evidence to support that maternal n-3 LCPUFA supplementation during pregnancy and/or lactation exerts a favourable programming effect on adiposity status in childhood
our systematic review highlights that most of the trials reviewed were prone to methodological limitations
Literature review finds limited data (9 studies, only 6 RCTs) of omega-3 during pregnancy. No data was found that supported reduced obesity in children by mothers taking n-3 during pregnancy. No harm was found either. Data was sparse.
Take home: not enough data, no harm to pregnancy, children, thus if indications are present for mother, then recommend n-3. At this point not studies have pointed to reduced obesity in children.
