Predictive equation helps estimate misreporting of energy intakes in dietary surveys Nat. Food (IF 23.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-13 R. James Stubbs, Mark Hopkins
Misreporting of dietary intake under free-living conditions in nutritional epidemiological studies can’t be easily captured. A predictive equation for total daily energy expenditure derived from the largest doubly labelled water dataset to date can help improve evaluation of the accuracy of self-reported dietary intake.

For commercial viability, cultivated meats require scientifically informed approaches to identify and manage hazards and risks. Here we discuss food safety in the rapidly developing field of cultivated meat as it shifts from lab-based to commercial scales. We focus on what science-informed risk mitigation processes can be implemented from neighbouring fields. We case-study pre-market safety assessments
