Last year I was asked to give a talk on dietary #nitrate supplementation. I decided to update our last paper: bit.ly/2DyqTXo for it. I found +26 trials. Here it is: bit.ly/2KsRBCh . No journal submission, but it has been peer-reviewed by the big guy 😇:

Nitrate, nitrite and nitrosamines in the global food supply

Inorganic nitrate provided by either nitrate salts or food supplements may improve cardiometabolic health. However, current methods to assess dietary nitrate, nitrite and nitrosamine consumption ar...

On Friday the govt announced its plan to radically change uni fees, and the headlines rightfully focussed on those 110% hikes to humanities degrees. But now the full plan is out and the real story is clear: this is a massive defunding of tertiary education. THREAD.

Need a list of predatory or pseudoscientific publishers and journals? This is helpful: professeur-alexandre-georges… Beware of e-mails from E. Padron, Ph.D., Dr. L. Smith, M.D., P. Jimenez, Ph.D., A. Siozos, M.D., A. Lesnevskyi, M.D., A. Nikitakis, MSc, Ph.D., A. Umana, M.D. #scicomm

Add them to your email block lists. A lot of these authors/publishers not only want your money but they also contain malware so it's important to check before clicking. Don't assume your virus software will save you.

"Elsevier’s scientific publishing arm reported profits of £724m on just over £2bn in revenue. It was a 36% margin – higher than Apple, Google, or Amazon posted that year." Bad for science?😬it's a £19bn shakedown. theguardian.com/science/2017… #science #scicomm #change 💰🤫

Happy Festivus everyone! Good luck during the airing of grievances.

Absolutely no need for academic conferences to have a €400-500 registration fee. Institutional budgets are tightening and this isn’t helping. Streamline your events. They’re supposed to facilitate ideas, development, collaboration and networks, not marginalise the un(der)funded – at North West, England

During my first PhD meeting my supervisor @michaelleveritt mentioned the importance of knowledge translation - getting it into the hands of people/orgs that can put it to practical use. Foodworks was the aim. As for the name...I couldn't resist🤣 #nitrate #scicomm #nutrition

I continually see studies conducting vascular measures without dietary standardisation.Measuring dietary nitrate/nitrite intake prior to a trial is essential to control for a variable that can significantly impact results.This will help: researchgate.net/publication… #research #scicomm

A full-colour PDF is provided. Images get around naming confusion that arises w/ international food products. The idea was to have a list big enough without increasing participant burden. Control for nitrate/nitrite because some foods have just as much as a beetroot juice shot.

A study involving 159 food recalls using the most comprehensive nitrate/nitrite food and beverage database is coming... Noticeable gaps include values for: pomegranate and chai seeds, cranberries, passionfruit, honey, and quorn/meat alt products #nitrate #scicomm

Next step will be plugging any holes. It would be good to have support from companies like @QuornFoods. Meat cops flack for its higher nitrite content. It'd be another health win for companies that use meat alternatives if they showed lower levels. #vegan #nitrate #health
