As of Nutrition Society’s summer meeting in 2025, I am two years into my tenure as the editor in chief of Journal of Nutritional Sciences. My vision for the journal is to place less emphasis on novelty than cutting edge journals, but to support the publication of robust, reinforcing research that advances nutritional science (this particularly includes negative findings and paradigm challenges). As the Nutrition Society has a portfolio of journals, it has also been a priority for me to build to build a distinct identifty, profile and editorial board from our sister journals The British Journal of Nutrition and Public Health Nutrition.
If you've ever cared for a baby, you might know that human milk contains more than just nutrients—it’s packed with complex sugars called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). These aren't digestible by infants but serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria, helping to shape a healthy microbiome from day one.
Vitamin D is often hailed as a ‘wonder’ nutrient, credited with benefits ranging from bone health to immune support. But could it also help with iron absorption, particularly for older people? A recent clinical trial—the BEST-D study—set out to answer this question. The verdict? Vitamin D supplementation is unlikely to make a meaningful difference to iron levels in older people.
The Paper of the Month for March is ‘Impact of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on clinical manifestations in autism spectrum disorders: an umbrella review of meta-analyses“.…
Unhealthy diets are a major contributor to poor health worldwide, driving rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In response, many governments have introduced policies to improve the environments in which people make everyday food choices—such as regulating child-directed food marketing, taxing ultra-processed products, or enhancing the nutritional quality of school meals.
Fast-food - it’s quick, convenient, and hyper-palatable. Part of its palatability comes from the generous amounts of added sodium [dietary salt]. For example, a hamburger with fries can easily provide more than a person’s daily upper limit for sodium of 2,000mg. Unfortunately, too much sodium is linked to high blood pressure which is associated with cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of preventable death in Aotearoa, New Zealand (NZ) and globally, and sales data shows our appetite for fast-food is increasing.
Optimal growth of the human fetus and the newborn infant is associated with better health and neurodevelopment in infancy and also the benefits of early growth persist into adult life and during aging.
When a mother breastfeeds her baby, she supports both the development of her child and the microbes in the child’s gut. Breast milk contains unique carbohydrates called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) that cannot be digested by the baby. Instead, these HMOs reach the gut to be used by the gut microbes. Bifidobacteria, among other gut microbes, help degrade HMOs and produce beneficial product in the baby’s gut.
“Professor Bernard Corfe’s strategy for JNS will be to continue to build on JNS’s reputation for quality, to publish work supporting scientific reproducibility (and to support research identifying irreproducibility), and to continue to emphasise the critical place of this mission in a changing world of scientific publishing.”…
The way we respond to the various constituents of our diet may differ depending on whether we are males or females. Given that females have been largely underrepresented in such research to date, aspects of the diet we believe to be beneficial or deleterious may not hold true for half of the population. These so called ‘sex differences’ relating to diet are further complicated by the ageing process. For example, reproductive ageing in females leads to the menopausal transition, altering the hormone profile and key processes such as metabolism. As such it is important as nutritional researchers that we comprehend how components of our diet are influenced by sex across the lifespan.
When we think of malnutrition, we often picture individuals who are underweight or experiencing hunger, struggling with inadequate levels of essential nutrients. However, malnutrition can also exist in individuals with obesity. Many people in this population may have a relatively low intake of essential nutrients, especially during illness, leading to physiological changes often overlooked in clinical assessments. Identifying protein-energy malnutrition in individuals with obesity is challenging due to distinctive physical and physiological characteristics, including increased body weight, adipose tissue dysfunction and metabolic dysregulation presented as systemic inflammation.
Childhood obesity is a growing concern and is driven in part by widespread exposure to unhealthy food marketing. Various policies could help to reduce this exposure, targeting specific products, settings and marketing mediums, such as TV and outdoor signs.
Pulses, including dry beans, chickpeas and lentils, are healthy, sustainable, and low cost. Pulses, however, are not currently consumed as frequently or by as many people as is currently recommended for health benefits or for planetary gain. We sought to understand why this was, what could be done to encourage pulse consumption, and whether cooking suggestions and recipes can help.
Catch-up growth, i.e., accelerated gain in weight and length to attain a size in accordance with genetic potential is a common phenomenon in infants who are born at full term with low birth weight (mostly as a consequence of intrauterine growth restriction). Previous studies have indicated that rapid growth during infancy may be associated with greater adiposity and adverse metabolic consequences in later life.
There are numerous essential vitamins and minerals that play crucial roles in maintaining our health and wellbeing. Among these, selenium stands out as a lesser known yet exceedingly important micronutrient.
Diet is key to the maintenance of health and crucial in the prevention and management of many diseases. Modified nutrient intake is sometimes essential to prevent deficiency, optimise development and health, or manage symptoms and disease progression. A new Position Paper (Hickson et al 2024) from the Academy of Nutrition Sciences (ANS) provides a state-of-the-art summary of how evidence-based practice, with a particular emphasis on research evaluation, is used to inform nutrition interventions for individuals.
There is a Chinese proverb that says, "It's hard to buy old people being thin with money." We previously thought that for older people, thinness is a sign of health. However, scientific research shows that this view is incorrect.
The importance of healthy dietary habits, especially in early life, is crucial for overall nutrition, health, and development in children. School Food Programs (SFP) have gained significant attention as drivers of healthy eating and academic performance
Today it is well established that our physical wellbeing partially depends on the trillions of microbes in our gut, the intestinal microbiome. At same time, there is emerging evidence that these unicellular lifeforms can also influence our mental status and cognitive performance.
I was always interested in core biological processes, from school years, genetics was the area of biology I found most inspiring and through my BSc and PhD in molecular microbiology, I was fascinated by the relationship between what is coded and how life unravels and uses that code.
Fatigue is a symptom resulting from the weakening or depletion of one's physical and/or mental resources, ranging from a general state of lethargy to a specific, work-induced burning sensation within one's muscles. It is a highly prevalent feeling but still remains an often-neglected unmet clinical need.
Today’s food systems in high-income countries face several challenges, including a lack of resiliency, resulting in an inconsistent food supply and changing food prices, especially during crises. When faced with this type of challenge, high-income countries tend to rely on short term food relief that doesn’t always meet people’s nutritional needs or choices. In addition, limited access to nutrition education and cooking skills programs makes it hard for those most at risk to use what food they do have effectively. To address these challenges, a focus on local or regional food systems is considered one way to boost food system resilience.
What we eat is influenced by a myriad of external factors: our mood, the occasion, friends and family, new food trends, the location, food presentation, to name only a few. We tend to choose our food differently at a wedding reception surrounded by people we are meeting for the first time than at a garden BBQ with family and friends after a rough day at work.
Dogs may be our best friends, but cats have a plan to challenge that notion! They need our help to thrive, and it starts with good food.

With the ongoing global epidemic of obesity and increasing prevalence of dementia, evaluating the impact of over-eating and different diets on brain structure and function becomes increasingly important. Recent studies suggest that the gut microbiota and metabolic changes can impact with cognitive health. In this paper of the month, we were interested in the impact of obesity and diet on the gut-brain axis.
In many low- and lower-middle-income countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where mixed crop-livestock farming is widely practiced, livestock keeping provides income, food, nutrition and other benefits for the rural poor. The nutritional benefits of livestock keeping are particularly important since malnutrition continues to cause nearly half of annual global child deaths, and can have lasting effects on the physical growth and cognitive development of millions of surviving children.
Ready meals are a popular choice in the UK, and it is estimated that almost 90% of us eat them. Many ready meals can be classified as ultra-processed foods, which often have multiple added ingredients such as sugar, salt, fat, artificial colours, or preservatives, and consumption of ready meals has been associated with an increased risk of obesity. However, the jury is still out on the nutritional quality of ready meals.
Working as a female nutritional scientist, there are so many amazing female leaders to inspire those coming up behind.

Excess body weight and alcohol consumption are both modifiable risk factors for many adverse health outcomes, including cancer. Alcohol is classified as Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and alcohol consumption is associated with a higher incidence of seven cancer types. Excess body weight is also associated with at least 13 cancer types. Although these factors have been known to be linked with cancer for many years, very few studies have investigated the joint association between alcohol consumption and excess body weight with cancer risk.
Nutrition researchers and public health practitioners have become increasingly focused on structural racism following protests against racial injustice in 2020 and the disparities in covid-19 mortality experienced by marginalized groups. Structural racism consists of overlapping systems of discrimination in society such as in policing, housing, and employment. These systems also affect marginalized groups’ ability to access healthful food. For example, African Americans are more likely to live in areas with higher densities of fast-food restaurants and may not have access to full-service grocery stores. Differences in financial resources may also impact their ability to pay for healthy food. Providing nutrition education alone can be insensitive in the face of these obstacles.
There is evidence that the consumption of commercial food products for children is highly prevalent in the world, surpassing the consumption of homemade food in some situations. While such products may have practical advantages, such as time saving in food preparation, there are concerns about nutrient composition.

Fast-food is sold in restaurants and snack bars as a quick meal or to be taken out, and often consists of low-nutrient and energy-dense foods. Consequently, fast-food consumers tend to have higher intakes of energy, fat, saturated fatty acids, trans fatty acids, sugar and sodium, as well as lower intakes of fibre, macronutrients and vitamins. This means that regular fast-food consumers have a higher risk of multiple physical and mental health complications. Worryingly, among adolescents the consumption of fast food is on the rise across the globe.
The challenges in improving nations’ diets persist. As we try to overcome these, an area that is gaining traction is nudging.
