CONCLUSION: ON traits correlated with risk-averse food evaluation strategies in obesity, emphasizing caution towards “unhealthy” foods, potentially exacerbating restrictive eating behaviors. Integrating these insights into psychological or nutritional interventions could improve support by addressing maladaptive food evaluation.

Associations between the planetary health diet index and multiple long-term conditions among women and men: A prospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Greater adherence to the planetary health diet is associated with a lower risk of MLTC. These findings support dietary policies that promote sustainable dietary patterns, consistent with the EAT-Lancet recommendations, to reduce disease burden and improve population health.

Micro/nanoplastic-induced gut dysbiosis: A key driver of systemic toxicity via the gut-organ axes in animals
Micro/nanoplastics (M/NPs) are ubiquitous emerging contaminants that have permeated all trophic levels of global ecosystems. The gut microbiota, which serves as the central hub for host metabolic homeostasis, immune defense, and neuromodulation, is a confirmed critical amplifier of M/NP-induced toxic effects. This review describes the links between M/NP exposure, gut dysbiosis, intestinal barrier impairment, and systemic multiorgan injury. We compared microbial changes across diverse aquatic and…

A Scoping Review of Microplastic Contamination in Infant Foods: Exposure Pathways and Implications for Nutrition and Health of Children
Microplastics (MPs) in the environment pose a significant threat to human health, particularly for vulnerable populations like infants. Over the past decades microplastics have infiltrated food systems, air, water, and consumer products, leading to widespread human exposure. Infant foods, including formula and complementary foods, may be contaminated with MPs during processing or packaging or through environmental pollutants. This scoping review was aimed to explore the extent of MP…
