Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The "Nutrition 3.0: Between Tradition and Innovation" conference—the 21st National Congress of the Italian Society of Food Sciences—aimed to bring together doctors, biologists, nutritionists, chemists, biotechnologists, and all professionals working in the field of food and nutrition. The overarching goal was to highlight the need for personalized and sustainable interventions to promote well-being, drawing on both traditional knowledge and new technologies in diagnostics and therapeutic approaches.

This interdisciplinary conference fostered collaboration among nutritionists, endocrinologists, food chemists, food technologists, pathologists, anthropologists, and physicists. The experts presented evidence-based data that underscored the importance of integrating knowledge at all levels to achieve greater well-being and the protection of living organisms.

This Special Issue will serve as a platform to showcase the cutting-edge research and insights shared during the "Food 3.0" conference. We invite submissions from esteemed speakers and other researchers working at the intersection of food science, nutrition, and innovative technologies. The articles in this Special Issue will explore topics such as personalized nutrition, the role of tradition and novel approaches in promoting health and well-being, and the integration of various disciplines to address the complex challenges in the food and nutrition domain.

We believe this Special Issue will provide a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers that are interested in advancing the field of food science and nutrition through a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach. We look forward to receiving high-quality submissions that contribute to our understanding of the evolving landscape of "Food 3.0" and its implications for human health and well-being.

Effects of Dietary Habits on Markers of Oxidative Stress in Subjects with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Comparison Between the Mediterranean Diet and a Gluten-Free Diet

Abstract
Background: The Mediterranean diet (MedD) exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects that are beneficial in autoimmune thyroid diseases (ATD). Recently, a gluten-free diet (GFD) has been proposed for non-celiac patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), but its usefulness is under debate. The present pilot study [...] Read more.
Background: The Mediterranean diet (MedD) exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects that are beneficial in autoimmune thyroid diseases (ATD). Recently, a gluten-free diet (GFD) has been proposed for non-celiac patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), but its usefulness is under debate. The present pilot study evaluates the effects of these two dietary regimes, with a focus on redox homeostasis, in HT. Patients and Methods: 45 euthyroid HT patients (30 F; median age 42 years) were randomly assigned to different dietary regimes: MedD (n = 15), GFD (n = 15) and free diet (FD, n = 15). Thyroid function tests, autoantibodies, and oxidative stress markers (Advanced glycation end products, AGEs; glutathione peroxidase (GPx), thioredoxin reductase (TRxR), and total plasma antioxidant activity (TEAA) were measured at baseline and after 12 weeks. Results: In the MedD group, significantly lower values of AGEs and higher values of GPX, TRX and TEAA with anti-oxidant action were detected (p < 0.05) at 12 weeks compared to baseline, and compared to the GFD and FD groups, in which the oxidative stress parameters did not change significantly (p > 0.05). No significant differences in serum levels of TSH, FT4, Ab-Tg, Ab-TPO compared to baseline were found in any group. Conclusions: This pilot study confirms the protective effect of the MedD against oxidative stress, while a GFD does not significantly influence markers of oxidative stress and/or thyroid autoimmunity/function parameters.

A global deficiency in vitamin D is now widely prevalent. Extensive scientific research has provided compelling evidence of the detrimental effects of vitamin D deficiency on the skeletal system. Furthermore, vitamin D supplementation not only helps prevent bone fractures but may also slow the progression of various conditions, such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Achieving optimal circulating vitamin D levels can be challenging, particularly in certain clinical scenarios. Moreover, the effect of vitamin D supplementation varies depending on factors such as body weight, pregnancy status, absorption capacity, metabolic rate, and renal function. This review aims to explore which vitamin D formulations are most effective in specific clinical contexts where reaching adequate vitamin D levels may not be straightforward. Full article
