Given the impact that good nutrition and keeping fit have on health and well-being in later life WHO in collaboration with the Tufts University USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging organized a consultation to review the scientific evidence lin

How did humans evolve larger and more sophisticated brains? Evolution, in general, depends on a special combination of circumstances: part genetics, part time, and part environment. In the case of human brain evolution, the main environmental influence was adaptation to a 'shore-based' diet, which provided the world's richest source of nutrition, as well as a sedentary lifestyle that promoted fat deposition. Such a diet included shellfish, fish, marsh plants, frogs, bird's eggs, etc. Humans, and more importantly, hominid babies started to get fat, a crucial distinction that led to the...

Chile pepper is used today as a flavoring, but Aztecs also applied it for toothache, sore throat, and asthma. The tonic properties of coffee have been recorded in Islamic pharmacopoeia since the eleventh century, and many peoples have used it to protect against Parkinson's disease. Although much has been documented regarding the nutritional values of foods, until recently little attention has been paid to the pharmacologic potential of diet.

This book investigates the health implications of foods from the cuisines of peoples around the world to describe the place of food in health...

With more than 3000 carefully selected entries and 50 appendices, the new...

It is difficult to find the moment when the idea for a book is first born. For this book, the basic concept was probably born during conversations I had in Parma, Italy, with Dr. Riccardi of the University of Naples and Dr. Jenkins of the University of Toronto (Canada). Later, in a conference room at the University of Verona (Italy) School of Medicine, I had a day-long meeting with Drs. Bosello and Cominacini of the University of Verona, and Drs. Jenkins and Riccardi and their co-workers. After an intense working day, the general plan of this book was completed. The title Mediterranean diets...

Using her knowledge and expertise as a registered dietitian and experiences as the mother of a son with Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, and celiac disease, Medlen blends intricate science with practical use to create a book that is indispensable.

"Dietary Supplement GMP "is a one-stop 'how-to" road map to the final dietary supplement GMP regulations recently issued by the FDA that cover the manufacturing, packaging, and holding of dietary supplement products.

The recent regulations, outlining broad goals, intentionally avoid specifics to allow for future technological advances, which leaves implementation to the discretion of each firm. Given this latitude and flexibility, this new resource is an essential source of workable and practical suggestions on ways the industry can best meet the goals. Based on broad experience with GMP...

Carbohydrates in Food, Third Edition provides thorough and authoritative coverage of the chemical analysis, structure, functional properties, analytical methods, and nutritional relevance of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides used in food. Carbohydrates have become a hot topic in the debate about what to eat. This new edition includes increased treatment of resistant starch, dietary fiber, and starch digestion, especially in relation to different diets, suggesting that carbohydrate consumption should be reduced.

New to the Third...

Food and eating practices are central to current sociological and anthropological concerns about the body, health, consumption, and identity. This study explores the importance of these themes as they intersect with processes of globalization and cultural production within a specific group of consumers, British Sh'ite Iranians. Through the analysis of the consumption practices of this particular migrant group, this book illustrates how both the nutritional value and symbolic significance of food contribute to its health-giving properties and how gender and ethnic identities are preformed and...

Das Lebensmittelmonitoring ist ein gemeinsam von Bund und Landern durchgefuhrtes Untersuchungsprogramm, das die amtliche Lebensmitteluberwachung der Bundeslander erganzt. Wahrend die Lebensmitteluberwachung vor allem durch verdachts- und risikoorientierte Untersuchungen die Einhaltung lebensmittelrechtlicher Vorschriften kontrolliert, ist das Lebensmittelmonitoring ein System wiederholter reprasentativer Messungen und Bewertungen von Gehalten an unerwunschten Stoffen wie Pflanzenschutzmitteln, Schwermetallen und anderen Kontaminanten in und auf Lebensmitteln. Mit Hilfe des...

The deep red color of the ripe tomato fruit and related products is mainly due to lycopene. Lycopene is the predominant carotenoid in tomatoes, followed by [alpha]-carotene, [beta]-carotene, [gamma]-carotene, and phytoene, as well as by other minor carotenoids. This monograph offers an understanding of the role of lycopene in promoting health.
