According to a study of UK Institute of Food Research and University of Manchester, children are vulnerable to food-borne diseases.

School kids prone to food-borne diseases

Nutrition expert Dr Ian Johnson, from Quadram Institute Bioscience in Norwich - formerly the Institute of Food Research - said: "The results do suggest a mechanism whereby consumption of sugary drinks with meals might interfere with the body's ability to regulate energy intake, and eventually lead to weight gain.

The unhealthy combination that will increase fat

Prof Pete Wilde, research leader at the Institute of Food Research, said: "It is not clear how associated lifestyle affects this relationship.

U-turn for butter... it's not bad for our health

"But when we looked deeper into the data, we found that -- at similar levels of animal protein intake -- those in the unhealthy lifestyle group consumed more red meats, eggs and high-fat dairy, while the healthy lifestyle group consumed more fish and poultry." According to Ian Johnson, a doctor and nutrition researcher at the Institute of Food Research who was not involved in the study, the research is "robust" and "seems to support the growing consensus that diets based largely on plant foods are better for long term health than diets containing large quantities of meat and dairy products." However, he pointed out the study, being based on questionnaire data, "tells us little about mechanism.

Major study confirms health benefits of lean protein

According to Ian Johnson, emeritus fellow at Britain's Institute of Food Research, the 'findings are consistent with current public health recommendations in the UK and elsewhere, and particularly with the concept of a beneficial Mediterranean-style diet, rich in unsaturated fats from plants, fish and olive oil.'

Three-decade study confirms saturated fats are bad for health

Scientists at the UK's Institute of Food Research examined how engineering mutations in endolysins, which are hydrolytic enzymes, affected their ability to tear down the bacterial cell wall.

Fighting bacteria with viruses

Later that day, in a session covering heart health, the Vitafoods Europe Conference will see Dr Paul Kroon, research leader at the UKs Institute of Food Research, reveal findings from Bacchus, another EU-funded project this time investigating how the bioactives found in food could offer cardiovascular health benefits.

Health under the spotlight at Vitafoods Europe

Scientists at the Institute of Food Research (IFR) on the Norwich Research Park have teamed up with Oxford Instruments to develop a fast, cheap alternative to DNA testing as a means of distinguishing horsemeat from beef.
