Background: In Germany, public interest in a vegan diet is steadily growing.There are, however, no current data on the macro-and micronutrient status of vegans.Methods: cross-sectional study entitled "The Risks and Benefits Vegan Diet" (RBVD), we investigated dietary intake, basic laboratory parameters, vitamin status, trace-element 36 vegans persons an omnivorous diet.Each group consisted 18 men women aged 30-60.Results: Nearly all one-third mixed had consumed supplements previous 4...
Bile acids play an active role in fat metabolism and, high-fat diets, elevated concentrations of fecal bile may be related to increased risk colorectal cancer. This study investigated and serum 36 vegans omnivores. The reduced rank regression was used identify dietary patterns associated with acids. Dietary were derived secondary conjugated as response variables 53 food groups predictors. Vegans had higher fiber (p < 0.01) lower = 0.0024) intake than In serum, primary glycine-conjugated...
A vegan diet could impact microbiota composition and bacterial metabolites like short-chain (SCFA) branched-chain fatty acids (BCFA). The aim of this study was to compare the concentrations SCFA, BCFA, ammonia, fecal pH between vegans omnivores. In cross-sectional (vegans n = 36; omnivores 36), composition, ammonia were analyzed in complete stool samples. random forest regression (RFR) used identify bacteria predicting SCFA/BCFA No significant differences SCFA BCFA observed Fecal (p 0.005)...
It has been estimated that most vegans meet the total protein requirements, but whether this is also true for individual essential amino acids (AAs) unclear. Furthermore, a shift in intake suggested to alter microbiota composition, association unknown terms of veganism or AAs. This cross-sectional study compared and omnivores regarding dietary plasma concentration The prevalence insufficient AAs among was determined using average requirements (EAR) WHO. Moreover, correlations between gut...
In Deutschland greift etwa ein Drittel der Erwachsenen regelmäßig zu Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln (NEM). Neben Vitaminen und Mineralstoffen enthalten die Produkte teilweise auch sonstige Stoffe mit physiologischer Wirkung wie Aminosäuren, Fettsäuren, Pflanzenextrakte oder Mikroorganismen. Die Werbung verspricht positive Effekte für Gesundheit, Wohlbefinden verbesserte Leistungsfähigkeit. Fragen zur Produktsicherheit werden selten thematisiert. Schon im Jahr 2002 wurde in Europäischen Union (EU)...
Following a strict raw food diet (primarily based on fresh fruit and vegetables, waiving any consumption of heated or processed food) has the risk undersupply energy certain macro- micronutrients. In this cross-sectional study, we compared 16 non-smoking eaters (5 women 11 men, age 44.6 ± 12.3 years, duration following 11.6 10.8 years) with participants (32 vegans, 27 omnivores) "Risk Benefits Vegan Diet" (RBVD) study. We investigated body composition, dietary intake from 3-day weighed...
Furfuryl alcohol is a heat-induced food contaminant, classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans. The proximal carcinogen 2-sulfoxymethylfuran leads adduct formation in DNA and proteins (e.g., N-((furan-2-yl)methyl)-Val (FFA-Val) hemoglobin).This study analyzed human erythrocyte samples from two studies for the presence of FFA-Val: Risks Benefits Vegan Diet (RBVD; 72 adults) ENVIRonmental influence ON early AGEing birth cohort (ENVIRONAGE; 100 mother-newborn pairs). In RBVD study, FFA-Val...
