No dose-dependent increase in fracture risk after long-term exposure to high doses of retinol or beta-carotene

This intervention study found no increase in fracture risk among 2,322 adults who took a controlled, high-dose retinol supplement (25,000 IU retinyl...

Early Onset Binge Eating and Purging Eating Disorders: Course and Outcome in a Population-Based Study of Adolescents

Purging at age 17 and externalising behaviour problems at age 14 were the strongest predictors of eating disorder persistence to age 20.

Neural tube defects in Australia and food fortification with folic acid

Promotion of periconceptional folic acid supplement use began in Australia following publication of randomised trials showing effectiveness.

Transforming growth factor-Beta in milk

Findings suggest that TGF-Beta in milk may influence the development of immunological outcomes in offspring.

Fructose intake and food sources in West Australian adolescents

This research aimed to cross-sectionally quantify fructose consumption and identify major food sources of fructose in adolescents...

Low intake of B-vitamins is associated with poor adolescent mental health and behaviour

The current prevalence of mental health problems in Western populations is approximately 20% and half of all adult mental health disorders are estimated to...

ORIGINS: Nutritional Profile of Children Aged One Year in a Longitudinal Birth Cohort

Dietary intake during the first year of life is a key determinant of a child's growth and development. ORIGINS is a longitudinal birth cohort study investigating factors that contribute to a 'healthy start to life' and the prevention of non-communicable diseases.

Infant Diet Recommendations Reduce IgE-Mediated Egg, Peanut, and Cow's Milk Allergies

Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have found that introducing eggs and peanuts earlier during infancy reduced egg and peanut allergy risk. Hence, infant feeding advice has dramatically changed from previous recommendations of avoidance to current recommendations of inclusion of common food allergens in infant diets.

Nutrition in early life interacts with genetic risk to influence preadult behaviour in the Raine Study

Early life nutrition is associated with child behaviour; however, the interplay with genetic vulnerability is understudied. We hypothesised that psychiatric genetic risk interacted with early nutrition to predict behavioural problems in childhood and adolescence.
