Journal Article
Kozhevnikova, S. V., Elmes, M. J., Brameld, J. M., & Jethwa, P. H. (in press). The anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D on offspring brain development during pregnancy: critical review. Academia, Nutrition and Dietetics, 2(1), Article 7573. https://doi.org/10.20935/acadnutr7573

Vitamin D (VD) plays a pivotal role in fetal brain development by regulating essential processes such as neuronal proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Despite the critical role of VD in maternal and fetal health, studies have shown that alm...

Food Policy, 131, Article 102826. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodpol.2025.102826

Deprivation pushes people to choose cheap, calorie-dense foods instead of nutritious but expensive alternatives. Diseases, such as obesity, cardiovascu-lar disease, and diabetes, resulting from these poor dietary choices place a significant burden on...

It tastes sweeter when melted: Exploring the impact of food temperature on tongue temperature and perceived sweetness/vanilla (2025)
Journal Article
McNeill, H., Ford, R., Fisk, I., Thibodeau, M., Liu, G., Doyennette, M., & Yang, Q. (2025). It tastes sweeter when melted: Exploring the impact of food temperature on tongue temperature and perceived sweetness/vanilla. Science Talks, 13, Article 100424. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sctalk.2025.100424

The relationship between perceived sweetness intensity and temperature of food is complex. Previous research on the effect of temperature on sweetness perception primarily focused on single solutions. This study aimed to address the gap by using an i...

Food insecurity amongst Universal Credit claimants: the Benefits and Nutrition Study (BEANS), a cross-sectional online study (2025)
Journal Article
Thomas, M., Rose, P., Coneyworth, L., Harvey, J., Goulding, J., Stone, J., Padley, M., O’Reilly, P., & Welham, S. (in press). Food insecurity amongst Universal Credit claimants: the Benefits and Nutrition Study (BEANS), a cross-sectional online study. European Journal of Nutrition,

Purpose
Increasing food insecurity (FIS) in the UK presents a major challenge to public health. Universal Credit (UC) claimants are disproportionately impacted by FIS but research on socio-demographic factors and consequent nutritional security is...

Assessing Water Content of the Human Colonic Chyme Using the MRI Parameter T1: A Key Biomarker of Colonic Function (2025)
Journal Article
Dellschaft, N., Murray, K., Ren, Y., Marciani, L., Gowland, P., Spiller, R., & Hoad, C. (2025). Assessing Water Content of the Human Colonic Chyme Using the MRI Parameter T1: A Key Biomarker of Colonic Function. Neurogastroenterology and Motility, https://doi.org/10.1111/nmo.14999

Background
The human colon receives 2 L of fluid daily. Small changes in the efficacy of absorption can lead to altered stool consistency with diarrhea or constipation. Drugs and formulations can also alter colonic water, which can be assessed using...

Journal of Nutrition, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tjnut.2024.12.017

Background
Recent studies show that the increase in breath hydrogen (BH2) and symptoms after ingestion of inulin are reduced by coadministering psyllium (PI).

Objectives
To determine if slowing delivery of inulin to the colon by administering it... Read More about Mode of Action of Psyllium in Reducing Gas Production from Inulin and its Interaction with Colonic Microbiota: A 24-hour, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Healthy Human Volunteers.
