Approximately 4–5% of the live weight of animals is collectable blood. Dried blood is high in protein and rich in the amino acid lysine, and the amino acids are highly digestible. Procedures for processing blood into blood meal have experienced major improvements during the past decade. Flash ...
To date, research investigating the potential advantages and disadvantages for diet and health of cooking and preparing food at home has generally focused on specific dietary indicators, rather than overall diet quality or health, and assessed measures cross-sectionally or after a brief follow-up per...
An increase in vegetable intake alone produced a decrease in energy intake in adults, but was ineffective for blood glucose and body weight.26 We now persist in training an increase in fruit and vegetables up to the amount of 0.5 kg/day before the age of two years, fruit before ...
Dietary monounsaturated fat and α-tocopherol intakes were significantly increased in all almond groups. Conclusion: Almonds provide post-ingestive metabolic and appetitive benefits and did not increase the risk for weight gain. This suggests that almonds may be a healthful snack option....

Young adults are the highest consumers of food prepared outside home, which has been linked to weight gain. The aim of this qualitative research was to gather opinions from young adults about what influences their food choice when eating out and if they so desired, what might enable healthy ...
Overconsumption of added sugars has been identified as an important public health concern [1,2,3]. Among children, intake of added sugars has been associated with increased weight gain/adiposity [4,5,6,7,8], poor diet quality [9], dental caries [10,11], and increased risk of cardiovascu...

whether eating behaviours measured at single eating occasion are likely to reflect eating behaviours at subsequent meals, within the context of the laboratory, has implications for a better understanding of the proposed relationship between oral processing behaviours, energy intake, and weight status. 2...
