In this Nutrition Science Bites episode Prof Clare chats with Dr Kerith Duncanson, gut researcher and Accredited Practicing Dietitian, about the history and purpose of food additives. Discover how food additives have evolved from ancient preservation methods to modern-day applications to enhance food flavour, appearance, and shelf life. We look at the different categories of additives, their potential health impacts, and consider both the science and implications of what we add to our food, including inflammatory bowel conditions like Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. We explore the balance between necessity and innovation in food processing and evaluate implications for sustainability and health.

Summary

In this Nutrition Science Bites episode, Professor Clare Collins interviews Professor Christopher Gardner from Stanford University about his research testing a head to head comparison of low fat versus a low carb diet. In the DIETFITS study (Diet Intervention Examining the Factors Interacting with Treatment Success) he found major variation in individual responses to each diet. Prof Gardner shares insights on genetic and metabolic factors influencing weight loss and how individual metabolic differences affect change in body weight in response to each diet. They discuss the importance of personalising dietary approaches, and psychological factors that influence being able to "stick" to diets or not. The conversation covers gender differences in diet adherence, influence of social norms and the need for ongoing support to achieve weight related health goals and the importance of food quality over calorie or kilojoule restriction.
