Nutrition Bulletin

What is Nutrition Bulletin?

Nutrition Bulletin provides a unique blend of scientific reviews on aspects of nutrition and news of important or emerging issues in the field of human nutrition.

 

Its particular focus is the interface between the needs of nutritionists in research, health promotion, policy and teaching, and those working in the food industry. 

 

It is read by researchers and nutritionists working in universities and research institutes; public health nutritionists, dietitians and other health professionals; nutritionists, technologists and others in the food industry; those engaged in higher education including students; and journalists with an interest in nutrition.

Aims and scope

Published quarterly, the Bulletin presents original and comprehensive review articles on diverse aspects of the science and application of nutrition. The scientific quality of the Bulletin is maintained through a stringent editorial policy and through submission of all review articles and original research to a peer review process, which is overseen by an international Editorial Board.

 

Topics addressed in reviews cover the many and diverse areas that together comprise nutrition science, including: 

  • the biochemical and physiological basis for the role of various nutrients in the body; 
  • psychobiological aspects of human nutrition; 
  • discussion of observational (epidemiological) associations between diet/nutrients and aspects of health; 
  • the application of nutrition to disease prevention or the particular needs of population sub-groups; 
  • the impact of methods of food production and processing on the composition of food, and general aspects of nutrition policy and its communication.

In addition, sections feature: 

  • updates on EU and UK-funded research; 
  • commentaries on recent government activities; 
  • brief synopses of recent scientific papers and policy documents.

An underlying theme to many of the subjects considered is their application to decisions made within food production and distribution, and in public health nutrition policy.

Spotlight: Diet and Inflammation

January 2025

Chronic systemic inflammation is now recognised as a common underlying mechanism for many of the most prevalent chronic illnesses in the world today. Conditions such as cardiovascular disease, various types of cancer, the metabolic syndrome, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, depression and neurodegenerative diseases have all been linked to systemic chronic inflammation.

 

While there are many triggers for the development of low-grade systemic chronic inflammation, including chronic infections, inactivity and air pollutants, various dietary factors and gut dysbiosis can also influence its progression. This Spotlight on Diet and Inflammation includes articles recently published in Nutrition Bulletin on the diet and inflammation matrix.

 

It includes a number of reviews examining both positive and negative aspects of the relationship between dietary factors and inflammation and ill-health. 

Other Spotlights

Spotlights shine a light on a particular topic by bringing together 4 or 5 recently published articles on that subject.

 

Some of our recent spotlights include:

 

Virtual Issue: The role of pulses in a healthy, sustainable diet

October 2024

Alternative protein sources, such as pulses, can help mitigate adverse effects of food production on the environment as well as offering a wide-range of benefits for public health.

 

This virtual issue, The role of pulses in a healthy, sustainable diet brings together recent articles published in the Nutrition Bulletin looking at the benefits and challenges around increasing the consumption of pulses.
