AbstractOrganic food consumption has risen in many countries during the past decades, but individual behaviors leading to these choices remain unclear.. The aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between cognitive restraint, weight loss diet history and organic food intake, in French adults. This cross-sectional analysis included 21,516 participants from the NutriNet-Santé cohort (26.4% male, mean age 55.3 years; SD = 13.8). Cognitive restraint was evaluated by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire and practice of weight-loss diet in the past years was assessed by an ad hoc questionnaire. Organic food intake of 17 food groups was assessed by the Organic-Food Frequency Questionnaire. Adjusted means of proportions of organic food intakes out of total food intakes were compared across quartiles of the cognitive restraint score and weight loss diet history. Analyses were adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Women with higher levels of cognitive restraint had in average a lower contribution of organic foods in their diet (26.5% in Q4 vs. 30.9% in Q1; p < 0.0001). In addition, women with a history of weight loss diet had in average a lower contribution of organic foods in their diet (27.1% in current/past vs. 28.5% in never dieters; p = 0.0012). Associations were observed in men for specific food groups. Overall, individuals, and in particular women, with higher cognitive restraint scores or with a history of weight loss diet consumed less organic food. Results suggest that it can be too complex to follow both weight control and organic food choice strategies at the same time.

Organic Food Consumption

Organic food consumption has risen in many countries during the past decades, but individual motives leading to these choices remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between cognitive restraint (CR), history of dieting and organic food intake. This cross-sectional analysis included 20,085 organic food consumers from the NutriNet-Santé cohort. CR (range score 1–4) was evaluated by the Three-Factor-Eating-Questionnaire and practice of dieting (never vs. past/current) was assessed by an ad hoc questionnaire. Frequencies of organic food intake overall and in 16 food groups were assessed by the Organic Food Frequency Questionnaire. Linear regression and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were performed to investigate the association between CR score, history of dieting and contribution of organic food intake to the total food intake. A lower overall contribution of organic options in the diet was observed in women with higher levels of CR (β = −3.61%, 95% CI: −4.32; −2.91 for 1 point of CR, p < 0.001) and with a history of dieting (31.1 ± 0.4% in past/current vs. 32.6 ± 0.3% in never dieters; p = 0.001). Consistent associations were observed in men with a history of dieting (26.4 ± 0.8% in past/current vs. 28.7 ± 0.4% in never dieters; p = 0.012). Overall, individuals—in particular women—with higher CR scores or with a history of dieting selected fewer organic food options. Our findings illustrate the complexity of potentially concurrent motives to food choices, in a context of increasing interest in organic food consumption.

AbstractPesticides are used in large quantities in current agriculture all over Europe. Some pesticides are suspected of having negative effects on human health. While the risk associated with occupational exposure is getting well-documented, evidence of dietary exposure to these molecules in the general population is lacking. The aim of this study is to describe dietary exposure to pesticides among NutriNet-Santé cohort participants’.NutriNet-Santé is a web-based cohort of French middle-aged adults launched in 2009. BioNutriNet is an ancillary study launched in 2014, aiming to measure organic and conventional food consumption and evaluate different dimensions of diet sustainability. Dietary intake of organic and conventional foods was assessed using a 264 items self-administered semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Exposure to 25 commonly used pesticides was evaluated using contamination data from CVUA Stuttgart accounting for farming system. Dietary pesticide exposure profiles were identified using Non-Negative Matrix factorization (NMF), specially adapted for non-negative data with excess zeros. The NMF scores were then introduced in a hierarchical clustering process. Identified clusters were described in terms of sociodemographics, dietary patterns and exposure to pesticides.A total of 34,442 participants were selected. Four clusters were identified. All clusters seemed to be exposed to the same molecules, with gradual intensity. The first cluster was characterized by the lowest energy-intake, highest organic food consumption (26.9%) and lowest dietary pesticide exposure; participants had highest consumption levels of organic food groups, including fruits and vegetables. Proportion of male participants and of rural residents was higher than in other groups. Clusters 2 and 3 were characterized by intermediate energy intake, and low organic food consumption. High conventional fruits and vegetables intake and moderate pesticide exposure were observed in cluster 2, composed of a lower smokers’ proportion. Cluster 3 individuals were less exposed to pesticides than clusters 2 and 4, except for Spinosad and Pyrethrins. Cluster 4 was characterized by the highest energy intake, lowest organic food consumption (12.2%), and highest pesticide exposure ; high consumption levels of conventional fruits, vegetables and a higher proportion of vegetarians were observed. This cluster was composed of 85.6% female participants, mainly retired (47.5%), mostly living in cities of 200 000 inhabitants and more (48.2%), and physically active.Dietary pesticide exposures seem to vary across the clusters and depending on the proportion of organic food in the diet. High consumers of conventional fruits and vegetables consumers seem to be more exposed to our selection of pesticides.

AbstractLimited information is available on large-scale populations regarding the socio-demographic and nutrient profiles and eating behaviour of consumers, taking into account both organic and conventional foods. The aims of this study were to draw up a typology of consumers according to their eating habits, based both on their dietary patterns and the mode of food production, and to outline their socio-demographic, behavioural and nutritional characteristics. Data were collected from 28 245 participants of the NutriNet-Santé study. Dietary information was obtained using a 264-item, semi-quantitative, organic FFQ. To identify clusters of consumers, principal component analysis was applied on sixteen conventional and sixteen organic food groups followed by a clustering procedure. The following five clusters of consumers were identified: (1) a cluster characterised by low energy intake, low consumption of organic food and high prevalence of inadequate nutrient intakes; (2) a cluster of big eaters of conventional foods with high intakes of SFA and cholesterol; (3) a cluster with high consumption of organic food and relatively adequate nutritional diet quality; (4) a group with a high percentage of organic food consumers, 14 % of which were either vegetarians or vegans, who exhibited a high nutritional diet quality and a low prevalence of inadequate intakes of most vitamins except B12; and (5) a group of moderate organic food consumers with a particularly high intake of proteins and alcohol and a poor nutritional diet quality. These findings may have implications for future aetiological studies investigating the potential impact of organic food consumption.

Introduction: Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis, a rare form of secondary diabetes occurs due to recurrent alcohol induced acute pancreatitis. Case Summary: A 28 year old male patient presented with significant involuntary weight loss associat-ed with a history of passing clay colored sticky stools for the past 1 year. He was also detected to have deranged blood sugars on routine work up at a local hospital for increased thirst and increased urine output. There was a history of recurrent bouts of moderate to severe abdominal pain over the past 3 to 4 years. At the time of initial presentation his Random blood sugar values was 468 mg/dL. Other routine tests tests were within normal limits. His serum amylase levels were 185 U/L and serum Lipase levels were 467 U/L. Conclusions: Chronic fibro calcific pancreatitis is a rare cause of diabetes in young patients but has a characteristic clinical picture with a young patient presenting with features of malabsorption and low BMI, low propensity for DKA , low beta cell reserve and sensitivity to Insulin.

Abstract Pesticides are commonly used in current agriculture and some negative effects are suspected for human health but evidence from dietary exposure in the general population is lacking. This study aimed to describe dietary pesticide exposure among French cohort participants. Organic and conventional food consumption was assessed using a self-administered semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire in 2014 in the NutriNet-Santé cohort. Exposure to 25 commonly used pesticides was estimated using contamination data (CVUA Stuttgart) accounting for farming system. Dietary pesticide exposure profiles were identified using Non-negative Matrix Factorization, adapted for non-negative sparse data and then introduced in a hierarchical clustering process. The 6 identified clusters (n = 34,193) seemed to be exposed to the same molecules with gradual intensity. Cluster 1 was characterized by the lowest energy-intake and dietary pesticide exposure, and high consumption of organic food groups (23.3%). Proportion of male participants was higher than in other groups. Clusters 2 and 5 were characterized by intermediate energy intake, lower organic food consumption and intermediate pesticide exposure. High conventional fruits and vegetables intake and high pesticide exposure were observed in cluster 3, composed of a lower smokers’ proportion. Cluster 6 was characterized by the highest energy intake, lowest organic food consumption (9%), and highest pesticide exposure; high consumption levels of conventional fruits, vegetables and a higher proportion of vegans were observed. For cluster 4, pesticide exposure varied more across molecules than for other clusters. The highest exposures were observed for Acetamiprid, Azadirachtin, Cypermethrin, Pyrethrins, Spinosad pesticides. Proportion of organic food in the diet was the highest (31.5%). Dietary pesticide exposures seem to vary across the clusters and related to the proportion of organic food in the diet. Key messages Dietary pesticide exposures seemed to vary gradually across the clusters and depending on the proportion of organic food in the diet. High consumers of conventional FV in this cohort seem to be more exposed to our selection of pesticides.

Abstract Objectives Organic food consumption has been inversely associated with obesity in cross-sectional studies. Few have investigated this with prospective data. We examined whether organic food consumption was associated with the risk of obesity. Methods We used data from 37,706 eligible Sister Study (2003–2009) participants aged 35–74 years who provided information on frequency of organic food consumption. Participants reported their consumption of organic produce, meat, and dairy during the past 12 months as never, less than half the time, about half the time, or more than half the time. An organic diet score (ODS) was calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2 and 3 for increasing consumption proportions and summing across food groups (maximum score 9). Prevalent obesity was based on measured general obesity (body mass index [BMI]≥30.0) and central obesity (waist circumference [WC] ≥88 cm, waist-to-height ratio [WHtR] ≥0.5). To evaluate incident overweight and obesity, self-reported BMI at enrollment was compared to self-reported BMI during follow-up (mean, 8.3 years). We used generalized log-linear models with robust error variance to estimate multivariable-adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) and relative risks (RRs) for prevalent and incident obesity, respectively. Results At baseline, 62% of women reported eating organic food in the last 12 months. Compared with no consumption of organic food, higher ODS (≥3) was associated with a lower prevalence of obesity at baseline (PR for BMI = 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97–0.99; PR for WC = 0.94; 95% CI, 0.92–0.97; and PR for WtHR = 0.95; 95% CI, 0.93–0.98), after adjusting for socioeconomic, demographic, and lifestyle factors, including physical activity and other dietary measures. Higher ODS was inversely associated with gaining ≥5 kg (RR = 0.87; 95% CI, 0.82–0.92; P-trend &lt; .001), a BMI increase ≥10% (RR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.82–0.94; P-trend &lt; .001). Among those who were not overweight or obese at enrollment, higher ODS was associated with becoming overweight (RR = 0.81; 95% CI, 0.73–0.91; P-trend &lt; .001) or obese (RR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.74–0.96; P-trend = .007). Associations did not differ by diet quality or socio-demographic factors. Conclusions Organic food consumption was associated with decreased risk of weight gain and decreased risk of becoming overweight or obese.

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.

It is perhaps one of the most important characteristics of the past decade in astronomy that the evolution of some major classes of astronomical objects has become accessible to detailed research. The theory of the evolution of individual stars has developed into a substantial body of quantitative investigations. The evolution of galaxies, particularly of our own, has clearly become a subject for serious research. Even the history of the solar system, this close-by intriguing puzzle, may soon make the transition from being a subject of speculation to being a subject of detailed study in view of the fast flow of new data obtained with new techniques, including space-craft.

Purpose The current “specific language impairment” and “developmental language disorder” discussion might lead to important changes in how we refer to children with language disorders of unknown origin. The field has seen other changes in terminology. This article reviews many of these changes. Method A literature review of previous clinical labels was conducted, and possible reasons for the changes in labels were identified. Results References to children with significant yet unexplained deficits in language ability have been part of the scientific literature since, at least, the early 1800s. Terms have changed from those with a neurological emphasis to those that do not imply a cause for the language disorder. Diagnostic criteria have become more explicit but have become, at certain points, too narrow to represent the wider range of children with language disorders of unknown origin. Conclusions The field was not well served by the many changes in terminology that have transpired in the past. A new label at this point must be accompanied by strong efforts to recruit its adoption by clinical speech-language pathologists and the general public.
