OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of a 12-month low-carbohydrate diet on body weight and cardiovascular risk factors compared with a low-fat diet.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the change in daily energy intake associated with pairwise compositional change in dietary carbohydrate, fat and protein intake among US adults. More “Change in daily energy intake associated with pairwise compositional change in carbohydrate, fat and protein intake among US adults, 1999-2010”
OBJECTIVE: To compare carbohydrate-restricted with low-fat diets in two populations at elevated risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D): overweight/obese/prediabetic adults, and women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

OBJECTIVE: To determine the influence of baseline adipocyte size on depot-specific fat expansion and the development of insulin resistance using a prospective design.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the associations between liking for fat and specific nutrients or food groups (fat-and-salt, fat-and-sweet) as a determinant of dietary intake.
DESIGN: Web-based, observational cohort study. More “Association between intake of nutrients and food groups and liking for fat (The Nutrinet-Sante Study)”
Objective: To review evidence of effectiveness of taxes on non-alcoholic beverages and foods as a means to influence obesity trends
More “A systematic review of the effectiveness of taxes on nonalcoholic beverages and high-in-fat foods as a means to prevent obesity trends”
Objective: To examine the effect of consumption of HFCS or sucrose for 10 weeks at 8% food energy, 18% or 30% (corresponding to estimated 25th, 50th and 75th percentile of intake range of US population).
More “Consumption of sucrose and high fructose corn syrup does not increase liver fat or ectopic fat deposition in muscles”
Objective: To assess the impact on insulin sensitivity of 6 weeks exposure to 3 eucaloric diets; high carbohydrate (CHO), high protein and high unsaturated fat.

Objective: To examine the relationships between sugars and fat as expressed as % energy and in absolute terms. In addition, to examine if any relationship is applicable to the general population, evidence of any threshold effect, and the relationship to particular types of fatty acid and other macronutrients and fibre.

Objective: To identify the top 10 food sources of calories, added sugars and saturated fat (SFA) in the US diet and quantify their contribution to fibre and micronutrient intake.
