Epidemiological studies find that whole-grain intake is protective against cancer, CVD, diabetes, and obesity. Despite recommendations to consume three servings of whole grains daily, usual in Western countries only about one serving/d. Whole are rich nutrients phytochemicals with known health benefits. have high concentrations dietary fibre, resistant starch, oligosaccharides. antioxidants including trace minerals phenolic compounds these been linked disease prevention. Other include...
Equol is an isoflavonoid phytoestrogen produced from the soy isoflavone daidzein by gut microflora. Not all humans produce equol daidzein, presumably due to differences in colonic bacterial populations among individuals. Previously, smaller studies reported that approximately 30% of participants excreted when consuming soy. The purpose our study was determine prevalence excreters a larger sample and examine what dietary components might influence tendency be excreter. Thirty men thirty women...
Summary Dietary fibres have different physiological effects and provide a variety of health benefits, including satiety. They are thought to impact on satiation (the satisfaction appetite during feeding that marks the end eating satiety (inhibition hunger as result having eaten), because their properties adding bulk (satiation) producing viscosity (satiety). Pre‐absorptive factors, such gastric distention, work time required for chewing important satiation. For this reason, bulking textural...
Abstract Background Soluble fibers lower serum lipids, but are difficult to incorporate into products acceptable consumers. We investigated the physiological effects of a concentrated oat β-glucan on cardiovascular disease (CVD) endpoints in human subjects. also compared fermentability with inulin and guar gum model intestinal fermentation system. Methods Seventy-five hypercholesterolemic men women were randomly assigned one two treatments: 6 grams/day or dextrose (control). Fasting blood...
Abstract Overweight and obesity are global health problems that affect more than 1.9 billion adults who overweight, of these 600 million obese. In the United States, 60% population. Critical to statistics is association with increased risk cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome among other noncommunicable diseases. Many factors, including sugars, have been charged as potential causes. However, overweight their attendant continue increase despite fact there a decline in...
Prebiotic dietary fiber supplements are commonly consumed to help meet recommendations and improve gastrointestinal health by stimulating beneficial bacteria the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), molecules host health. The objective this research project was compare potential prebiotic effects fermentability five fibers using an in vitro fermentation system measuring changes fecal microbiota, total gas formation common SCFAs. Fecal donations were collected from three healthy...
Live dietary microbes have been hypothesized to contribute human health but direct evidence is lacking. This study aimed determine whether the consumption of live linked improved outcomes. Data from NHANES 2001–2018 were used assess microbial intake and their adjusted associations with selected physiological parameters (e.g., blood pressure, anthropometric measures, biomarkers) among adults aged 19 y older. Regression models constructed each parameter for demographics other covariates....
A proposed topic for the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Americans (DGA) Scientific Advisory Committee to address is relationship between dietary patterns with ultra-processed foods (UPF) and body composition weight status. Implementing NOVA system, most commonly applied framework determining whether a food "ultra-processed," in guidance could omit several nutrient-dense from recommended healthy diets DGA.
