Dietary sodium intake and mortality

Article Abstract:

Research has suggested strict limits on dietary sodium can adversely affect health. Adults with mild hypertension showed a 44% reduced sensitivity of the arterial baroreflex on a low-sodium diet. A second study shows a significant, though small, association between and all-cause mortality. These data challenge traditional thinking in this area, and need further analysis for whether research participants smoked, how frail their general health was, and their level of physical fitness.

Dietary reference intakes for folate: the debut of dietary folate equivalents

Article Abstract:

The Committee on Dietary Reference Intakes of the Food and Nutrition Board has offered standards for folate compounds. Data was insufficient for establishing a standard for infants, but levels of folic acid for children one year to adults have been recommended. These range from 150 to 400 micrograms per day. Other criteria were established for pregnant and lactating women. Significant data gaps exist for the effects of folic intake on risk reduction for chronic disease.

Immunogerontologic outcomes of dietary restriction started in adulthood

Article Abstract:

A study on how dietary restriction (DR) may influence life span and diseases revealed that the average life span and maximum life span for the long-lived hybrid strain increased by 10%, while those for the shorter-lived strain increased by about 20%. Main tumor incidence was also minimized in the longer-lived strain from 47% to 31%. Increased proliferative capacities were also noted when DR is started at 12, 17 and 22 months of age.
