Article Abstract
Each year, patients are bombarded with diverging and even contradictory reports concerning the impact of certain additives, foods, and nutrients on cardiovascular health and its risk factors. Accordingly, this third review of nutrition controversies examines the impact of artificial sweeteners, cacao, soy, plant-based meats, nitrates, and meats from grass compared to grain-fed animals on cardiovascular and other health outcomes with the goal of optimizing clinician-led diet counseling.

Hypoalbuminemia is commonly seen in patients with heart failure and is associated with worse outcomes. Multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms can contribute to low albumin levels in heart failure patients, such as malnutrition, hepatic congestion, inflammation, and protein-losing enteropathy. Hypoalbuminemia can exacerbate heart failure symptoms and contributes to pulmonary edema by reducing plasma oncotic pressure, thereby favoring fluid movement into the interstitial and alveolar spaces.
