Peanut consumption more than 12 weeks increases good cholesterol

Objectives:
Several studies have been conducted on the effects of peanut consumption on cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors. However, the findings are conflicting and appear inconsistent. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Does peanut consumption reduce cardiovascular disease risk?

Study design:
This review article included 13 RCTs.

Results and conclusions:
The investigators found peanuts consumption had no significant effect on:

Diet with high total antioxidant capacity decreases cancer mortality

Objectives:
No conclusive information is available about the association between dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) and risk of mortality. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Does dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) reduce risk of death from all-cause (all-cause mortality), cancer (cancer mortality) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs mortality)?

Whole grains, fruit, nut, legume consumption reduce adiposity risk

Objectives:
Is there a relationship between the intake of foods (whole grains, refined grains, vegetables, fruit, nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy, fish, red meat, processed meat and sugar-sweetened beverages) and risk of general overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity and weight gain?

Study design:
This review article included 25 prospective cohort studies until August 2018.

Folate supplementation lowers HOMA-IR

Objectives:
Various mechanisms link higher total homocysteine to higher insulin resistance and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Folate supplementation is recognized as a way to lower homocysteine. However, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) show inconsistent results on insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes outcomes. Therefore, this review article (meta-analysis) has been conducted.

Does folate supplementation improve insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes outcomes?

Vitamin A fortified foods reduce vitamin A deficiency among children

Objectives:
The goal of this review article is to identify as well as quantify the effect of vitamin A fortified food on serum vitamin A concentration among children under 10 year.

Study design:
This review article included 14 RCTs covering 6,153 children with duration of feeding for the fortified foods ranged between 3 and 12 months.  
A random effects model was applied to compute the pooled effect size of effect of serum retinol.

Trans fatty acids intake increases cardiovascular disease

Objectives:
Several epidemiological studies have investigated the association between dietary fat intake and cardiovascular disease. However, dietary recommendations based on systematic review and meta-analysis might be more credible. Therefore, this review article has been conducted.

Does dietary fat intake increase cardiovascular disease risk?

Study design:
This review article included 56 cohort studies.
Egger test showed no evidence of significant publication bias.

Human papillomavirus vaccination is not associated with increased risk of autoimmune disorders

Objectives:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been proven to effectively protect against HPV infection and infection-associated cancer. However, there are concerns about the relationship between HPV vaccination and the risk of autoimmune disorders (ADs). Therefore, this review article has been conducted.
