Read this blog from Laura Street, Registered Nutritionist, as she explores how retailers and retail nutritionists can help us all shift to a more sustainable and healthier diet, and diversify our diets.

In this blog Dr Frankie Phillips, Registered Dietitian, shares her insights into the role of fibre in childhood health and current intakes, along with her practical strategies for increasing fibre intake in younger ones. 

We're delighted to share the final publication from Dr Raffaele Colosimo's PhD research. This research focused on the colonic in vitro fermentation of mycoprotein and found that mycoprotein can be fermented by the gut microbiota, which results in changes in the bacterial communities. Specifically, they observed an increase in Bacteroides species, along with the production of short-chain fatty acids.

Dr George Pavis and colleagues from the Univeristy of Exeter have published a new paper in Clinical Nutrition, exploring whether a home-based dietary intervention of mycoprotein-containing foods would affect markers of cardio-metabolic health in overweight and hypercholesterolaemic adults. Compared to meat/fish control foods, the intervention effectively lowered circulating cholesterol concentrations.
