MATCH (Motivating Adolescents with Technology to CHOOSE Health) is an online, interdisciplinary wellness program targeted at improving adolescent nutrition that teachers can easily incorporate into existing curricula. The shift from childhood to adolescence is characterized by rapid increases in autonomy of nutritional intake. Given that dietary habits established in adolescence often persist into adulthood, effective nutrition education programs during this period are of particular relevance. Although there are a vast number of existing nutrition education programs aimed at adolescents, we explain why MATCH and similar programs should be expanded across the United States to improve adolescent health outcomes including obesity prevention.

Issues of scientific misinformation/disinformation, fake news, credibility of sources, and, generally, communicating in a time of social incivility, uncertainty, and declining public trust have been much discussed recently in the literature. Challenges around science communication are numerous and seemingly pervasive. Lately, those charged with reporting science around food, nutrition, and health have grappled with a larger and growing challenge—the increasing polarization of society, both in the United States and globally. In its latest Trust Barometer, Edelman, the New York–based public relations and marketing consultancy firm, detailed various effects of polarization on public trust of science and other societal institutions. In this article, the authors discuss health and nutrition science communication in the context of audience polarization. They build on their previously articulated guidance for communicators in addressing the added challenges to effective messaging in a politically and culturally polarized information environment.

Purchasing infant formula became an enormous challenge beginning in early 2022 for families throughout the United States. Faced with a myriad of other challenges in raising newborns came the unexpected reality of not having food in stores that their infants needed to thrive. Quickly, blame was assessed, and less quickly, government and industry solutions to increase supply were set in motion, but the actions taken have not fully resolved shortages. Even more than a year and a half after the severe shortages began, little effort has been made to develop long-term solutions to formula supply issues. It is time for the nutrition community to seriously consider this issue as a major policy agenda and recognize that healthy childhood nutrition starts with secure feeding for all infants regardless of mode or content of feeding. In this article, we will explore what needs to be done in this regard and where the barriers are to implementing long-term solutions to both the formula shortage and supporting breastfeeding families.

The relationship of obesity with mortality rate, and subsequently, the impact of weight loss on mortality, has been questioned by researchers for many years. Although weight loss in an individual with obesity can improve metabolic outcomes, the impacts on mortality are less clear. This has caused some to question the importance of weight loss because most individuals who lose weight through diet and lifestyle interventions gain all or a substantial portion of the weight back within 5 years. Furthermore, individuals who attempt to lose weight again may enter weight cycling (yo-yo dieting), which some have suggested may be detrimental to metabolism, eating behaviors, quality of life, and, ultimately, mortality rate. Beyond weight loss and weight cycling, the relationship between diet composition and dietary patterns has also been investigated for their relationship to longevity and mortality. This narrative review will examine the existing human and animal research evaluating the relationship between weight loss, weight cycling, and dietary composition on mortality and longevity, and identify research gaps that still exist.
