Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Vitamin D & Cardiovascular Health

Research suggests that vitamin D supplementation may reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, with one study indicating a 19% lower risk of heart attack in the vitamin D group compared to the placebo group.

2. Food Industry & Influencers

An analysis of social media posts by dietitians revealed that many were paid by companies and industry groups to promote unhealthy foods, minimize the risks of highly processed foods, and endorse unproven supplements, often without transparently disclosing their financial connections to the industry. This practice has enabled the food industry to leverage the credibility of registered dietitians to expand its influence.

3. Omega-3 & Strength Training

A recent study examined the impact of fish oil supplementation and strength training on muscle damage resulting from intense strength exercises. The findings indicate that combining fish oil supplementation with strength training can reduce muscle injury, inflammation, and redox imbalance triggered by a single session of intense strength workouts.
