The Research To Minimize Food Contaminants

The Research To Minimize Food Contaminants

The food production process is far from perfect. Substances unintentionally present in food - known as contaminants - are often detected. Some contamination results directly from mistakes in processing and transportation, and it can also occur from presence of substances in the environment - from pollution as well as the use of agrochemicals and pesticides. These substances are often harmful to the humans who ingest them, and steps need to be taken to minimize the presence of these contaminants.
Measuring Sodium Intake May Not Be So Easy

Measuring Sodium Intake May Not Be So Easy

Eating foods high in salt is known to contribute to high blood pressure, but does that linear relationship extend to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death? While recent studies have contested that relationship, a new study confirms it. The study - published in theInternational Journal of Epidemiologyby investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital and their colleagues using multiple measurements - suggests that an inaccurate way of estimating sodium intake may help account for the paradoxical findings of others.  "Sodium is no...

Cinnamon: An Impressive Entity For Health

Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Research has shown that the spice known as cinnamon is a great thing to add to the diets of those who are dealing with obesity, insulin sensitivity and diabetes. Additional research now shows that the spice works really well in accordance with fat cells. The essential oil cinnamaldehyde, which gives the cinnamon its flavor, actually helps to burn away fat. The reason why this happens was previously not understood or well documented. Researchers at the University of Michigan had some questions about how this occurs and wanted a more complete understanding of this function so they set out to test how it happens.

Curcumin is absorbed very easily and has impressive interactions with the mind in a way that can potentially be beneficial to those with dementia and Alzheimer's. One of the most common effects is its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

This would certainly account for why those who consume a lot of this substance would have less of a chance of suffering from these conditions.
Studies Shed Light On Food Chemicals And Additives

Studies Shed Light On Food Chemicals And Additives

In a comprehensive analysis on the prevalence of highly-fluorinated chemicals in fast food packaging in the United States, researchers tested more than 400 samples from 27 fast food chains throughout the country. The samples, consisting of paper wrappers, paperboard, and drink containers, were analyzed for a class of chemicals called PFASs - per and polyfluoroalkyl substances - also known as PFCs. These highly-fluorinated chemicals are widely used in an array of nonstick, stain-resistant, and waterproof products, including carpeting, cookware, outdoor apparel and food packaging.
