For Low-Income Americans, Living ≤1 Mile from the Nearest Supermarket Is Not Associated with Self-Reported Household Food Security
Motivated by concern over lack of access to nutritious food in low-income neighborhoods, healthy food financing initiatives have encouraged the introduction of new supermarkets into these neighborhoods. Extensive research regarding the association between the food retail environment and nutrition outcomes has shown mixed results.
In this study, for example, the authors found that having a supermarket within 1 mile or less from home was not associated with household food security. In contrast, the mode of transportation used to access the primary retailer was associated with household food security.
You can read the complete study in Current Developments in Nutrition, #ASN's new open-access journal.

Effect of Soy and Soy Isoflavones on Obesity-Related Anthropometric Measures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials
Soy may be a suitable food for anti-obesity efforts because of its high protein and isoflavone content. The authors of this meta-analysis evaluated potential effects of soy and soy isoflavones on weight, waist circumference, and fat mass.
They searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases in order to find 24 trials with soy and 17 trials with isoflavones that passed the eligibility stage for their review.
Interestingly, although soy is the major source of isoflavones, the authors concluded that soy and isoflavones may have different impacts on weight status.
You can read the full study in Advances in Nutrition, #ASN's journal dedicated to scientific reviews in all facets of nutrition science.
