"A Nordic diet could reduce the dangers of being overweight, a study suggests," The Daily Telegraph reports. The headline comes from the results of a small randomised controlled trial.
Half the people in the trial were put on the Nordic diet, which consists of wholegrain products, vegetables, root vegetables, berries, fruit, low-fat dairy products, rapeseed oil, and three servings of fish a week.
The other half acted as a control group and ate a diet of low-fibre grain products, butter-based spreads, and a limited intake of fish.
Researchers found people on the Nordic diet developed reduced activity (expression) in 128 genes associated with inflammation of their abdominal fat compared with controls.
