Protein intake is considered the most important during the first thousand days of life, which is till two years of age. A lack of sufficient protein during this phase can have lifelong effects. Unfortunately, m
One option for a more sustainable diet is to replace meat with alternative proteins. Consumers can include diverse protein sources in their diets [22]. Examples of emerging and sustainable sources include grains (such as wheat and zein), seeds (chia), leaves (moringa), legumes (beans, lentils...
Most protein isolates and concentrates used in food production systems originate from dairy, wheat, and soy; however, additional protein sources, such as oilseeds and pulses, are being researched because of dietary preferences and restrictions such as vegetarianism, food allergies, and halal (Adebiyi...
Both exogenous sources, consumed in dietary sources especially green leafy vegetables alongside endogenous sources as byproducts of amino acid metabolism, provide oxalic acid or oxalates inside the body. A balance between the body’s excretion, exogenous supply, and endogenous sources is required to m...
Increased fiber intake has been linked with lower risk of overweight and obesity in adults, but data are sparse for children. To address this issue, NHANES 2003–2006 data was used to evaluate (1) the food sources of fiber in children, (2) the dietary fiber density levels and risk of be...
starch are lacking, however. The relative importance of salivary versus pancreatic amylase in starch digestion also is not clear (Lovegrove et al.2015). Pepsin and the pepsinogens begin protein digestion in the stomach, aided by hydrochloric acid that denatures proteins and releases nutrients from ...

The body storage level of Vitamin B12 is significantly depleted by a persistent vegetarian diet; thus Vitamin B12 deficiency may readily develop in elderly vegetarians. However, Vitamin B12 deficiency may go undetected in vegetarians because their diets are rich in folic acid, which may mask vitamin...
