The 2018 WHO draft guidelines on dietary saturated fatty acids and trans recommend reducing total intake of fat replacing it with polyunsaturated monounsaturated
Health guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat consumption due to adverse associations with low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, a marker for cardiovascular disease risk. Recently, this advice is being questioned, since it does not account the diversity of fatty acids present in different foods and may be overly simplistic. Current research suggests that dairy cheese particular, matrix effect exists, whereby other components interact overall structure, leading health benefits. This...
This study investigated the effects of diet and stage lactation (SOL) on sensory profiles, texture, volatile colour Cheddar cheese. cheese was manufactured from early-, mid-, late-lactation milk obtained seasonally calved cows (n=54). Cows were assigned a diet; group 1: perennial ryegrass (GRS), 2: total mixed ration (TMR), 3: partial (PMR). Instrumental analysis performed at 270 days (mature Cheddar). Sensory evaluation took place after 548 (extra mature Toluene only compound that...
Multiple psychophysical gene-association studies suggest a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the bitter receptor gene TAS2R19 on chromosome 12 may be functional. Previously, Arg299Cys SNP (rs10772420) has been associated with differential bitterness of quinine and liking for grapefruit juice. However, does not activate in vitro; likewise, limonin naringin, compounds grapefruit, do vitro. Here, we examined (whole-mouth swish-and-spit stimuli regionally delivered across 4 loci)...
<b><i>Background/Aims: </i></b>Variations in bitter receptor gene <i>TAS2R38</i> affect the perception of bitter-tasting compound 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP). The PROP has been associated, some reports, with fat and sweet tastes, various food preferences intakes. aim was to investigate nutrient intakes patterns a group Irish children, using K-means cluster analysis, compare these TAS2R38 genotype taster status....
COVID-19 has heterogeneous manifestations, though one of the most common symptoms is a sudden loss smell (anosmia or hyposmia). We investigated whether olfactory reliable predictor COVID-19. This preregistered, cross-sectional study used crowdsourced questionnaire in 23 languages to assess individuals self-reporting recent respiratory illness. quantified changes chemosensory abilities during course illness using 0-100 visual analog scales (VAS) for participants reporting positive (C19+;...
Background: Evidence suggests cheese has a favourable or neutral effect on cardiometabolic health, compared to butter. To date, studies have only considered the matrix in its unmelted form, while of melted remains unknown. Objective: test 6-week daily consumption ∼40 g dairy fat, eaten either as cheese, fully deconstructed markers metabolic health overweight adults aged ≥50 years age. Design: A randomised parallel intervention, where 162 participants (43.3% male) received fat per day, 1 3...
Abstract Dairy products are important contributors to nutrient intakes. However, dairy intakes reportedly declining in developed populations, potentially due concerns regarding Na and SFA foods, particularly cheese. This could impact other The present study used data from the National Adult Nutrition Survey (NANS) (1) examine intakes, with a specific focus on cheese, (2) contribution of cheese population NANS captured detailed dietary intake nationally representative sample ( n 1500) between...
Studies examining the association between dairy consumption and metabolic health have shown mixed results. This may be due, in part, to use of different definitions dairy, single types foods examined isolation.The objective study was examine associations food intake health, identify patterns determine whether dietary are associated with outcomes a cross-sectional survey.A 4-day diary used assess beverage consumption, including (defined as milk, cheese, yogurt, cream butter) free-living,...
