Whole Egg Consumption Decreases Cumulative Weight Gain in Diet-Induced Obese Rats
Saande, C.J., Bries, A.E., Pritchard, K.S., et al.
Background
Whole egg (WE) consumption has been demonstrated to attenuate body weight (BW) gain and adiposity in genetic animal models of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This finding was accompanied by increased food consumption.
Objectives
This study aimed to examine the effects of long-term WE intake on BW gain, fat distribution, and food intake in a rat model of diet-induced obesity (DIO).
Soy and wheat proteins helpful for building aging muscles, but not as potent as animal protein
The Physiological Society
The number of vegans in the UK has quadrupled since 2006, meaning that there are around 600,000 vegans in Great Britain. While we know plant-based diets are beneficial for the environment, we don't actually know how healthy these diets are for keeping muscles strong in elderly people.
Scientists generally agree that the primary driver of muscle loss with age -- at least in healthy individuals -- is a reduction of muscle proteins being built from amino acids. These amino acids come from protein that we eat and are also formed when we exercise.
Maternal choline and respiratory coronavirus effects on fetal brain development

Introduction
Extra choline may help pregnant women decrease negative effects of COVID-19 on their newborns
Milzer, J.
Pregnant women who take extra choline supplements may mitigate the negative impact that viral respiratory infections, including COVID-19, can have on their babies, according to a new study from researchers in the Departments of Psychiatry and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Choline is a vitamin B nutrient found in various foods and dietary supplements, and is critical to fetal brain development.
