Previous studies have tested the blood pressure effects of sugars rather than starch or foods rich in low-glycemic index carbohydrate. The glycemic index in the 3 diets used in OmniHeart is considered moderate (range, 68-75). Because the glycemic index influences the metabolic effects of dietary...
Newer dietary approaches for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease increase the consumption of fruit and vegetables but reduce meat consumption either directly as part of the dietary strategy1 or displace meat by advocating increased intakes of fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy foods.2-4 ...
Thus, in one embodiment, the invention provides an adaptively evolved yeast strain and methods for using the strain to degrade galactose in foods to safe levels that permit access to a simple and palatable diet. The gut microbiota includes a large number of microorganisms, which may include ...
A simple log book was provided in which the subject could check off the foods actually consumed against a printed list and could note the time of day when each food was eaten. The log book was designed such that the subjects could record whether they ate a particular food item as a meal...
In this context, it is important to note that a low CHO diet offers further possibilities to target inflamma- tion through omission or inclusion of certain foods. Usually, CHO restriction is not only limited to avoiding sugar and other high-GI foods, but also to a reduced intake of grains...
In particular, changes in food processing have corresponded to higher temperatures and pressures and degrees of starch gelatinization, thereby increasing the rate of digestion of starch in individual foods and overall glycaemic response [19,20]. Processing temperatures also influence the crystallization of...
Watermelon puree for the study was prepared at Blue Ridge Venture Foods (Candler, NC, USA) from the seedless variety Crunchy Red harvested in eastern North Carolina. Watermelon flesh was pureed using a screw finisher with a 0.1 mm diameter stainless steel screen tube. The puree was bottled ...
