The investigators propose to address the influence of ellagic acid obtained from walnuts and its microbial-derived metabolites (urolithin) on the gut microbiome and inflammation-related biomarkers in a human clinical study. Patients will be enrolled and detailed demographic and dietary information,
Participants will attend two test session days separated by a 7 day wash out period. The procedure on each day will be identical save for the intervention breakfast which will either be a walnut rich muesli containing 50g walnut and 50g mixed cereal ingredients (active intervention), or control
The overall objective of this study is to test the effect of walnuts added to a usual diet on prostate cancer progression as measured by Ki67 expression in the prostate tissues. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to usual diet or usual diet with the addition of 2 ounces of walnuts daily. The baseline
Older adults are at increased risk of various chronic diseases where inadequate levels of vitamins and minerals may play a significant role, including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, and cancer. Older adults are increasingly more susceptible to vitamin and mineral
The study consists of a diet-intervention in a single group under-free-living conditions. The diet was enriched with 15g of almonds and 15g of walnuts per day for eight weeks, supplied directly to the patient by the researcher. This amounts of walnuts and almonds contain polyunsaturated fatty acids
The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ found only in men that encircles the urethra (urine passage) below the urinary bladder. It secretes fluid that is an important component of semen. Prostate cancer is a disease of the prostate gland where malignant tumours cells invade normal prostate tissue
Walnuts contain high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly linoleic acid and linolenic acid. The high PUFA content has been suggested to reduce CVD risk through decreasing total and LDL-cholesterol concentrations, and increasing HDL-C concentrations. In addition, walnuts are
People who have cancer can get what is called cancer cachexia (CC). The symptoms of CC include getting full quickly when eating (early satiety), loss of appetite, weakness resulting in weight loss and loss of lean body mass. Even a weight loss of 5% in cancer patients reflects poor health,
In addition disturbing news on alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) has recently been reviewed by Brouwer and colleagues (J Nutr:2004). Their analyses suggests that ALA, as found in canola oil and other healthy foods, may cause prostate cancer even though there is good evidence that canola oil will prevent
