Article Abstract
Background: The excessive and frequent intake of refined sugar leads to caries. However, the relationship between the amount of sugar intake and the risk of caries is not always consistent. Oral microbial profile and function may impact the link between them. This study aims to identify the plaque microbiota characteristics of caries subjects with low (CL) and high (CH) sugar consumption, and of caries-free subjects with low (FL) and high sugar (FH) consumption.
Methods: A total of 40 adolescents were enrolled in the study, and supragingival plaque samples were collected and subjected to metagenomic analyses. The caries status, sugar consumption, and oral-health behaviors of the subjects were recorded.
Results: The results indicate that the CL group showed a higher abundance of several cariogenic microorganisms , , , , , and . and which were enriched in the FH group. In terms of gene function, the phosphotransferase sugar uptake system, phosphotransferase system, and several two-component responses-regulator pairs were enriched in the CL group.
Conclusion: Overall, our data suggest the existence of an increased cariogenic microbial community and sugar catabolism potential in the CL group, and a healthy microbial community in the FH group, which had self-stabilizing functional potential.

Key Laboratory of Agricultural Product Processing and Storage, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Institute of Food Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), Beijing, China.
Background: Apple pomace (AP), a byproduct of apple processing, is nutrient-rich, and its properties are influenced by both the quality of the apples and the juice extraction process. Drying technology can enhance its economic utilization. This study compared the effects of industrial drum drying (ID) and laboratory hot-air drying, heat pump drying and freeze drying (FD) on the physicochemical, functional and structural properties of from-concentrate AP (FC-AP) and not-from-concentrate AP (NFC-AP).

The relationship between dietary habits, including the consumption of eggs, dairy products, and sugar, and the development of disease is well-established. However, further investigation is required to elucidate the precise associations between these dietary habits and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this study was to analyze existing genome-wide association studies in order to identify causal relationships between dietary habits and CVD.

Purpose: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer face unique long-term social and health challenges that impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study explores the association between lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, body composition, and nutrition) and HRQoL as well as fatigue in AYA cancer survivors.
Methods: The cross-sectional SURVAYA study analyzed data from long-term AYA cancer survivors (5-20 years post diagnosis, aged 18-39 at diagnosis) in The Netherlands.
Mozzarella is a white, soft, fermented cheese that is often recognized for its stretchability and typically contains approximately 40% total fat (dry basis), a considerable portion of which is saturated fat. Low-fat mozzarella cheese (LFMC) has started to increase in popularity among health-conscious consumers. Unfortunately, the inadequate meltability and rubbery texture of LFMC make it undesirable for many consumers.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the associations between future, present-hedonistic, and present-fatalistic time perspectives (TP) and body mass index (BMI) among college students, and to examine whether self-control and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption mediate these relationships.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Jiangsu Province, China, involving 920 college students. The survey collected data on participants' height, weight, future TP, present-hedonistic TP, present-fatalistic TP, self-control, and SSB consumption.
