Heme Oxygenase 1 Protects Human Colonocytes Against ROS Formation, Oxidative DNA Damage and Cytotoxicity Induced by Heme Iron, But Not Inorganic Iron
From the abstract: “ In this study, we investigated the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of heme iron (i.e., hemin) versus inorganic iron in human colonic epithelial cells (HCEC), human CRC cell lines and murine intestinal organoids.”
More DetailsSustainable Aquaculture through the One Health Lens
In this Perspective article, the authors use a One Health framework to examine how aquaculture sustainability can be achieved despite the prediction that it will supply the majority of dietary aquatic animal-based protein by 2050.
More DetailsInside Big Beef’s Climate Messaging Machine: Confuse, Defend and Downplay

More DetailsAssociation Between Plant and Animal Protein Intake and Overall and Cause-Specific Mortality
In this US cohort study, researchers found that persons with high plant protein intake had a slightly lower mortality 16 years later than persons with lower plant protein intake.
More DetailsUpdated Systematic Review: Associations Between Proximity to Animal Feeding Operations and Health of Individuals in Nearby Communities
This review article summarizes the findings of 16 studies that assess multiple health risks of humans living near animal feeding operations (AFOs), described as “industrial” or “modern.” Evidence suggests an increased risk for Q fever in humans living near goat production during a Q fever outbreak (primarily in the Netherlands).
More DetailsAssociations of the Consumption of Unprocessed Red Meat and Processed Meat with the Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality, and the Dose-Response Relationship: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies
In this meta-analysis of nine prospective cohort studies, unprocessed red meat and processed red meat were linked to the incidence of stroke, but not to mortality resulting from cardiovascular disease.
More DetailsLosses, Inefficiencies and Waste in the Global Food System
The greatest rates of food loss (during production) and waste (consumer side) are associated with livestock production and meat, dairy, and egg consumption.
More DetailsSan Francisco Food Procurement Standards for Hospitals and Jails
The resolution opens by giving an overview of the Good Food Purchasing Program (GFPP) and its baseline review of San Francisco’s procurement standards in hospitals and jails.
More DetailsDihydroceramide- and Ceramide-Profiling Provides Insights into Human Cardiometabolic Disease Etiology
From the abstract: “Our results also suggest that (dh)ceramides partly mediate the putative adverse effect of high red meat consumption and benefits of coffee consumption on T2D risk.”
