Lectins were discovered almost 130 years ago, in 1888. That’s well over a decade before aviation, something we have since mastered. Yet these commonly occurring compounds largely remain a mystery. And while you may not be flying every day, it’s guaranteed that you are eating foods containin...
Blood levels of cholesterol can be controlled partially by limiting foods high in cholesterol and eating foods high in fiber, which can help remove cholesterol from the blood. Factors such as heredity, age and gender may predispose certain groups to high cholesterol. Medications to control cholestero...
Chickpea grains are a good source of many essential mineral nutrients, protein, and dietary fiber and are low in saturated fat (http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/4778). The chickpea crop helps to restore and maintain soil fertility through symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Globally more than...

Plant-based foods, which are rich in dietary fiber and promote glycemic control, are also abundant in phytochemicals, such as polyphenols, that can reduce hyperglycemia, and enhance both acute insulin response and insulin sensitivity [117]. In addition, the quality of dietary fat affects insulin ...
A fiber-optic multichannel taste sensor based on the evanescent wave absorption principle was developed by Lee et al. [29]. The developed sensor can detect five basic tastes with high sensitivity, is easy to fabricate, and it has a response time of approximately 10 s; however, it also has...
