OBJECTIVE: To review the available evidence to determine which dietary constituents have scientific support to improve motor skill and/or cognitive performance in athletes, to help guide the direction of future research.

OBJECTIVE: No clear objective of the paper is defined at the outset. The main thrust is to propose that added sugars matter more than dietary sodium for hypertension, and to consider the implications for future dietary guidelines.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ability of the dental biofilm to form acid and alkali after short-term adaptation periods with daily exposure to sucrose and urea in relation to caries. Effects on stimulated saliva secretion rate and buffer capacity as well as acid-tolerant bacteria in saliva and plaque were also investigated.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of dental behaviours in 4-year increments of DMFT and DT.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the prevalence and trends in obesity, review the risk factors relevant for prevention, and to present the costs of obesity in terms of its morbidity, mortality and economic burden.
OBJECTIVE: To summarise evidence for the effect of variety and palatability on appetite, intake and weight gain and to discuss future research directions to translate the scientific work into public health and clinical applications.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the efficacy and effectiveness of variation in eating frequency as an adjunct to weight management and areas for future research.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of portion size manipulations on energy intake and weight management in children and adults, and to consider areas for future research.
OBJECTIVE: To summarise information relevant to standardising a definition of dietary energy density (ED), provide a review of primary research publications examining the effects of ED on energy intake (EI) and body weight in adults, and suggest future research directions for elucidating the role of ED in body weight regulation.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the important methodological nuances across studies of SSBs (Sugar Sweetened Beverages) and weight gain/obesity risk to bring more clarity to the state of the science and to address remaining research needs. A secondary aim was to critically review the literature on the possible association between artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) and obesity risk.
