NuSI studies, references and summaries are below, listed in order of the very Historians to determine whether and to what degree that’s the case. We’d like to think that NuSI’s research, funding, and general pot-stirring helped move the needle, not just on nutrition research in obesity and metabolic disease but on the thinking about etiology and dietary means of treatment and prevention. These four trials also spawned two dozen ancillary studies, secondary analyses and commentaries, and those, too, generated a fair share of attention from the media. The latest of these - on the effect of dietary sugar on hepatic de novo lipogenesis in pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – was published just two weeks ago in The Journal of Clinical Investigation. Three of these papers are now designated “highly cited papers” by the Clarivate Web of Science. All four resulted in primary publications in top-tier journals (two in JAMA and one each in AJCN and BMJ), all with significant media attention. Three of these studies were randomized clinical trials the fourth was a non-randomized pilot trial.
