Relationship of Alcohol Consumption to All-Cause, Cardiovascular, and Cancer-Related Mortality in U.S. Adults

BACKGROUND Previous studies have revealed inconsistent findings regarding the association of light to moderate alcohol consumption with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was…

Urinary tartaric acid as a biomarker of wine consumption and cardiovascular risk: the PREDIMED trial

Background and Aims Moderate wine consumption has been associated with lower cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in older populations. However, wine consumption information through self-reports is prone to measurement errors inherent…

Grape Polyphenols to Arrest in Vitro Proliferation of Human Leukemia Cells: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Leukemia is a heterogeneous group of hemopoietic cancers, which accounts for 2.6% of new cases per year of total cancer incidence worldwide. Grapes and grape-derived products, such as grape juice,…

Should we remove wine from the Mediterranean diet?: a narrative review.

Moderate alcohol intake (or, more specifically, red wine) represents one of the postulated beneficial components of the traditional Mediterranean diet. Many well-conducted nonrandomized studies have reported that light-to-moderate alcohol intake…

A burden of proof study on alcohol consumption and ischemic heart disease.

Cohort and case-control data have suggested an association between low to moderate alcohol consumption and decreased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), yet results from Mendelian randomization (MR) studies designed…

Bioaccessible Phenolic Alkyl Esters of Wine Lees Decrease COX-2- Catalyzed Lipid Mediators of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in a Time-Dependent Manner.

Lipophenols, phenolic compounds esterified with fatty alcohols or fatty acids, provide greater health benefits upon dietary ingestion of plant-based foods than unesterified (poly)phenols. Based on this premise, the present study…

Combination of Machine Learning Techniques to Predict Overweight/Obesity in Adults.

Gene-Environment Interactions Significantly Alter the Obesity Risk of SH2B1 rs7498665 Carriers.

Background: Src homology 2 B adaptor protein 1 (SH2B1) gene and variants have been found to be associated with common obesity. We aimed to investigate the association between the common…

Healthy lifestyle change and all-cause and cancer mortality in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort.
